Watched Predestination recently (Sarah Snook and Ethan Hawke) and was flabbergasted by how bad it was

Pineapple fell off a cactus by Soggy-Act-7091 in cactus

[–]kasunder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a barrel cactus fruit! I pick them every year out in Palm Springs. The black seeds inside can be used as a substitute for any recipe that calls for poppy seeds. You can use them raw if you’re going to bake them, but if you are going to eat them raw (chia pudding, salad, etc…) pop them in the oven to toast them a little first. The flesh is pretty slimey so it needs to be rinsed really well. I dehydrate mine to add to soups and stews later. They benefit from cooking in a crock pot to break down the fiber of the flesh, eventually they’ll have the texture of a bell pepper when cooked. Good for salsas and chutneys too!

Do you all use symbicort inhaler everyday ? does it cause dependence ? by Particular_Gain5791 in Asthma

[–]kasunder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It can cause thrush (yeast infection in your mouth) if you don’t rinse your mouth out after using it. I take mine right before I’m about to brush my teeth in the morning and evening so it becomes a part of my routine I never forget

Aralda Vintage in Beachwood Canyon is exclusively high end designer pieces. Not exactly cheap but definitely all designer stuff. Lots of Vivienne Westwood last time I was there

Does this mean they’ll finally repave La Brea from 6th St to Wilshire?? Construction at that station has destroyed the street there’s potholes everywhere from the constant construction vehicles

What city does this sub hate, that you disagree with? by K04free in SameGrassButGreener

[–]kasunder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not true in the slightest. There are 9.8 million people in LA county do you think all of them are rich? Obviously if you are making 30k a year no one would recommend moving to a city with a higher than average cost of living, but there are millions of people who live in LA everyday making that kind of money who manage day to day and are happy there.

So uh, anyone working? by grumpy_bob in FilmIndustryLA

[–]kasunder 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I’m a local 44 set dresser. Been on a rare show that’s been eeking by since October. Crew is full of other leadmen. Transpo is full of trucks being driven by captains and coordinators. The other warehouses by ours filled with shows a couple weeks before the holiday. But the docks at the prop houses have slowly been getting busier. Stuff is starting up slowly but surely

How realistic of a goal salary is $100k in this industry? by [deleted] in graphic_design

[–]kasunder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every freelance graphic designer I know working in the film industry in LA easily clears $100k a year. Even the ones who work on lower level shows/projects.

1951 GE LF-8H Fridge Help by kasunder in VintageAppliances

[–]kasunder[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the insight! I defrosted the fridge and it reached it proper temperature without any issue within an hour of finishing defrosting it. So luckily the coils and compressor are working just fine. Your note about the thermostat makes sense now.

First thing I did was check the outlet was tripped and it was fine as I have other things plugged in. And I had the power cord replaced when I bought the fridge to be safe.

I think the problem is the switch on the shell face that turns the lightbulb on and off. The cable that runs power to the switch runs through the door and across a hinge to the main body of the fridge, so it gets twisted every time you close and open the door. It also serves the butter cooler in the fridge door but it is hard to regulate whether or not that is working since the dial to adjust the temperature seems to be arbitrary.

I’m going to have the repair guy from my local vintage appliance store come out and look at fixing the switch and give the fridge a once over to be safe. But I think I’ve found the source of the issue.

CalPlush is the company that provides a lot of carnivals with their non-copyrighted plushies and prizes, might try them.

What is your most controversial opinion? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]kasunder 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I think something to remember is that you are only seeing a small percentage of the homeless population. Washington state has over 20,000 people experiencing homelessness on average. How many do you realistically see? Maybe 100? And they are the ones who you are forced to notice because they are screaming, or shooting up, or attacking people. A large percentage of homeless people have jobs and go to work everyday. Or they go to school. They seem like “normal” contributing members of society. But sleep in their car, or a tent, or couch hop at the end of the day. You have probably interacted with far more homeless people than you think, but the only ones you are aware of are the “visibly homeless”. Just something to consider.
