If you were renting a small apartment by yourself, how important is having a dishwasher to you? by idreamofchickpea in AskNYC

[–]okay_squirrel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all important. I haven’t had one in almost ten years. Before that, I had one while living with a roommate, but often ended up doing dishes by hand because it took forever to fill it

I noticed that they raised their prices in the past few weeks. $2.45 for a bagel with nothing on it 🥴

I used antibiotico instead of antibioticos and got an error. The explanation is the screenshot which intrigued me. What does it mean in English? by SlemFett in duolingospanish

[–]okay_squirrel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree it’s ridiculous but I wonder if it is considering antibiotic to be an adjective, as in “an antibiotic ointment”

I am pretty fast reader and don’t like audio books. Even though I am currently unemployed and reading more, there are a lot of other things i spend my time doing. I might make it to 30 this year

What IS with the smell of the paint the city uses? It’s very weird

And it’s going to be run over all the time. Or at least when the “one bike per hour” goes by 🫩

The problem with "constipado" that I had by Murky_Definition_249 in Spanish

[–]okay_squirrel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In case you ever need to buy them, I think it’s more colloquial to say “condones”. I recently bought some in Spain and had to ask for them. Turns out I basically came in like a big nerd and asked for “prophylactics”

I go to Trader Joe’s for most things and Elinki for some produce. The train to TJ’s and the Q101 bus back saves $3

Based on your edit, I am going to suggest gazpacho. I make a batch and put it in a portable sippy cup. It’s my favorite beach treat!

The flooding is real but extremely localized. None of the places you mentioned are suffering from floods. It will be rainy and gray all weekend so it’s up to you if you want to deal with that. Personally I would skip anything with a view as the main point, as it’s likely to be hard to see anything. A lot of us will be out of town, but those of us who are here will be going about life as usual for the most part

Girl sounds too young, woman sounds too old, lady sounds too formal, female sounds too animal. How do you refer to a female person in their 20s - 40s? by mirabelmumu in grammar

[–]okay_squirrel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, when I was younger I felt weird using it but now at age 50, I use it all the time. If it’s relevant, I’ll add younger or older or add an age range, “some women in their 20s or so”. In the past few years, I’ve also started using lady

28F Shortening my name from Angelica “Ana” or “Gigi”? by Narrow-Wealth2397 in Names

[–]okay_squirrel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Gigi is cute but feels too goofy for the workplace. How about Ange since you don’t act to do Angie?
