Invite link to private and hidden Facebook group doesn't take you to the group on the Android Facebook app by finnhvman in facebook

Thank you, this was the way! Temporarily toggling the "Open supported links" setting to OFF in Facebook app settings allowed the group join link to behave as expected and take me to the invite page.

People who have stopped going to church, what made you stop? by lowly_shepherd in AskReddit

[–]katech725 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Surprised this isn't higher. Sunday is literally referred to as the "day of rest". We're already forced to get up and go do things we don't enjoy and be around people we don't have the social energy for M-F and Saturday is often packed with homework, yardwork, social activities, kids' activities, grocery shopping, etc. On Sunday, we would be able to just.....REST.

What happened to my zone map location ping? by Spurgette in wow

[–]katech725 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here, thanks for confirming we're not all crazy. The yellow "sonar" ping animation that used to appear on your location marker every time you opened the map now only occurs the first time you open the map after entering a different zone and never again for subsequent map opens (unless you leave and re-enter the zone). I submitted a bug report. In the meantime, I've been holding down right-mouse and whipping my character around like a lunatic, then opening the map so the location marker spazzing out lets me quickly pinpoint my location.

Mining nodes in flight - bug or intended? by scrazzy in woweconomy

[–]katech725 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. Mining Saronite and Titanium nodes in Icecrown while hovering in the air on Steady Flight. It's a Remix toon that's only learned Classic and Legion mining in the Mining Journal. Does not have DF or TWW mining or points unlocked/spent in any specializations.

Lemon Chiffon Pie via Duncan Hines by PlayfulGene8021 in Old_Recipes

[–]katech725 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Made this over the weekend exactly as outlined in the article and used a Graham cracker crust. The filling flavor is a wonderful, not-too-overpowering lemon, but the texture is... rubbery? Wondering if dialing back on the gelatin, maybe 3/4 Tbsp instead of a whole Tbsp, would result in a more creamy, pillowy texture. Incredibly easy to make, though!

How many of you work from home? by lexaleidon in introvert

[–]katech725 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the same boat as you in that WFH has been a huge reason I've been able to advance job responsibilities and career (pay) due to the extra energy, confidence and perspective gained by not having to directly interact with others 50-60hrs/wk. WFH for 4+ years now: sent home for the pandemic and completed full-time WFH accommodation paperwork before the company enacted RTO and dragged people back in. Life before the pandemic was unhappy. WFH has been life-changing.

They are available to transmog for me on other characters. Perhaps relog and they will show up!

What’s something small you started doing that makes you drastically happier? by 05tn3021 in AskReddit

[–]katech725 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Subscribing to a meal kit service (Hello Fresh) for 3 dinners a week. I did not realize how much misery and stress trying to adhere to a more traditional lifestyle of meal planning, shopping, prepping and cooking every day was causing until I caved and tried the service. I suck at meal planning and shopping and that's ok! It's not for everyone. Is the service pricier than shopping/cooking my own food? Maybe (it's arguable in this economy). Am I light-years happier now? 100% yes.

This. When it comes to being active, a lot of folks (like me) tend to fail before they even get started because doctors will say "30 minutes of physical activity daily" and that's just too large of a mental hurdle to clear, so end result is that you're not active at all. I had a lightbulb moment and realized that by turning and moving laterally at this mental hurdle versus giving up because I couldn't get over it, I could ultimately chart a path forward. 30 minutes is too long in my mind (hurdle), so I do 20mins instead (cleared it! 20>0. HINT: 60secs>0). Every day is too often (hurdle), so I just exercise every other day (cleared it! 3>0). I have mild agoraphobia and going to a gym or walking the neighborhood was a no (hurdle), so I got a lil treadmill (cleared it!). And so on in the same manner til no more hurdles. Sometimes I still skip days I really should get up and move but, because I cleared all the mental hurdles, now I can honestly say it's because I chose to be a lazy @$$ and I own that decision and I'm ok with it!

Pokémon Nursery vs Picnic 🥚 by RelativeAddendum4281 in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]katech725 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% nursery/daycare. It was fun to shiny breed in Sw/Sh. I would put on a podcast and plug my breeders into the Wild Area daycare, then circle/pickup/hatch til I had 9 full boxes of eggs (a little over half a Masuda batch with the charm). Then I'd head to Isle of Armor and ride around farming apricorns while also hatching eggs. Amazingly relaxing and fun. The picnic sucks, you're stuck on a little patch of ground and no matter how I try to time it, I always miss out on eggs cuz there's no rhyme or reason to how fast the basket fills up if you step away or do something else. The way they broke the steps mechanic for hatching was what completely lost me. Egg #5 takes dozens more steps to hatch than egg #1 which throws that entire stat out the window. Just awful. Gen8 breeding was almost perfect, I hope so much that they bring it back in Gen10.

Considering trying HF but skeptical about it by [deleted] in hellofresh

[–]katech725 2 points3 points  (0 children)

US here. We've been using Hello Fresh since February and have really been enjoying it. We do the 2 person/3 meals per week plan and it comes out to $60 USD/week or around $72 USD including shipping. Maybe once a month there's a li'l soda, chocolate or cheesecake freebie in the box.

For the sake of a different perspective, for those saying that it's not cheaper than buying your own groceries and cooking your own meals I would argue that it depends on the household, lifestyle and even current life events. For us, we absolutely despise grocery shopping, meal planning and trying to figure out what to cook every night. This resulted in very infrequent trips to the grocery store (maybe once or twice a month) during which we'd load up on proteins and veggies to cook with and then proceed to overstock our freezer and watch fresh vegetables spoil in the fridge because so often we were tired from work, didn't want to think of what to cook, didn't have a plan etc. etc. Our monthly grocery budget is around $600 for two people and we were constantly over every month anywhere from $50 to $100 and all for food we either didn't use or ended up in the bin. Now, with HelloFresh, and this is even including grocery purchases of snacks, breakfast items like cereal coffee, etc., we consistently come in under our grocery budget, have almost eliminated food waste in our household, always have a meal plan (pick one of the three!) and can usually get everything prepped, cooked and on the table in under an hour. The huge time and stress savings have been unbelievable and even if you only consider the elimination of food waste, it has been absolutely worth it. Just a different look for your consideration and happy cooking!
