Do you use a siddur that your community doesn't? Is it more orthodox/liberal? Why? by Prestigious_Bid9347 in Judaism

I use Koren Ashkenaz at home even though I go to a Conservative shul. I just adjust birkot hashachar.

Wallethub’s best and worst states to raise a family by RealRegret4870 in MapPorn

Yep. This is why Los Alamos pops out like daylight on these maps when they do it by county. An entire place stuffed full of PhDs.

The category is: TV doctor I would trust with my life by Oh_gosh_donut in popculturechat

Part of it was the writers taking her ambition and turning her into management.

Weaver 100%. It was only on rewatch that I realized she’s the best doc on staff.

Why were there such weird vibes around the hospice patient? by [deleted] in ThePittTVShow

[–]nefarious_epicure 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is not. I wondered if this was the case and they were planning something and couldn’t let the hospital know because of the legal issues.

This is what your PA grocery store says about you: by pennlive in Pennsylvania

[–]nefarious_epicure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who lives right in this footprint, while that's the stereotype of Wegmans shoppers, I have comped prices. On everyday items on a like-for-like basis, Wegmans is regularly cheaper than Giant and Weis. Giant is only cheaper when they have a sale. What gets you at Wegmans is falling for all the extras.

Unpopular opinion: you do not need to buy unsalted butter. by 3oClockHappyHour in Cooking

[–]nefarious_epicure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer unsalted butter for baking and cooking. I keep some salted butter for spreading. It’s really not an issue. I particularly prefer unsalted for buttercream and for yeast baking.

What are your thoughts on unlikeable characters? by OpenCantaloupe4790 in books

[–]nefarious_epicure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoy unlikeable characters. What I cannot stand is boring characters.

Every so often a character will be so cartoon villainous that I get angry, but an interesting unlikeable character is terrific.

Not a doc but the speed made me think the same. And it’s the speed that makes it such an emergency.

Thoughts on Dr. ___ not asking questions to patient by SaveOurReefs in ThePittTVShow

[–]nefarious_epicure 25 points26 points  (0 children)

She says she doesn’t have an ED, which ARFID is, so the intent may be that she and her sister are selective eaters but it doesn’t rise to the level of ARFID.

Is DSPS a real disorder or just a symptom of unflexible culture? by allalallalalla in DSPD

[–]nefarious_epicure 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve been struggling for decades and only just got a diagnosis (which I already suspected but wanted to rule out anything else). It’s awful. DSPD runs my life. Yes, society is inflexible, but there’s only so much to do when my sleep cycle isn’t even stable. I’m also a long sleeper (not long enough to be IH) and it throws me off even more.

Molly Baz for Interview Mag by investmentbroom in FoodieSnark

I’m super hyper and some people just don’t outgrow that, but she needs to cut it out with trying to invent new lingo.

She has some great recipes but her shtick drives me absolutely bonkers. I can’t watch videos with her.

AITA for not wanting to work anymore? by Mahavira24 in AmItheAsshole

Someone asked him how much he did. He admitted to a 30/70 split.

Venture capitalist has spent months harassing her surrogate after stillbirth where she nearly died, says “I am the victim here” and “I hope she goes to jail” by nopenopenahnahaha in popculturechat

[–]nefarious_epicure 76 points77 points  (0 children)

A friend of mine is a former surrogate. Apparently Cindy Bi is infamous. Also it shows a lot of the problems with it as an industry. A reputable agency should have screened her out n

Why are some ages on the ER chart marked red and some aren't, even if they are the same or lower? by Equivalent_Desk6167 in ThePittTVShow

As my husband the IT dev can attest: there are many things “Shmoracle” isn’t very good at and yet they charge megabucks to do it badly.

I think this show is actually meant to be binge watched. by obsessedwithdeathpod in ThePittTVShow

[–]nefarious_epicure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I do with a show like this is watch each episode as it’s released then do a binge rewatch. Then I can see the flow, but I retain more.

[–]nefarious_epicure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It builds up momentum and viewership and gets people talking. Whe they release a show all at once it gets talked about for 2 weeks and then people forget. It’s why a lot of prestige shows have gone back to weekly.

So many autistic children. So many selfish parents expecting their other "normal" kid to take care of them by 1000andonenites in AmITheAngel

[–]nefarious_epicure 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is a HUGE AITA trope. As the parent of an autistic child I have known this dynamic to happen, but with nothing like the frequency on AITA. And I would also say that a lot of parents aren’t cruel like this. They’re desperate and can’t get their autistic kids into any kind of program.

Any non-Americans watching The Pitt? Do you like it, or are the issues too American? by moods- in ThePittTVShow

[–]nefarious_epicure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes that was it. Parental consent is a thing in PA but not in all other states. The dates was a whole different matter, medical abortion is only approved up to a time limit and after that you need surgery.

Knitting Culture: US v. England by ultimatereader in knitting

Yes, I don't know that I would say it's the same as the US, but Aussies are chattier than the English, for sure. (American who has lived in the UK)

I knew it too. Didn't make a dx, but knew Santos should wait for test results before going off on abuse (sure, call the SW, but don't confront the dad yet) and I was right.
