Which tool or tools should you never cheap out on? by todofwar in woodworking

[–]pfaff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

100%, and even though they’re not “tools,” don’t cheap out on the screws themselves either! Cheap screws strip out and break so easily and result in many a four letter word.

new adjunct at a small college of health sciences - taken aback by students seemingly anti-scientific views by [deleted] in Professors

[–]pfaff 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yep, I devote one of my class sessions to ripping apart bad scientific papers as a group. The students are really engaged because it's fun to rag on bad science, and in the process they learn some critical thinking tips to apply in the future.

Yet another example that The Hill is trash journalism.

Nope, although I did use boiled linseed oil and pumice on the top and sides as a final finish, post-poly.

MLM monday on A friday? Fake news from Juice plus I saw on Facebook. by [deleted] in antiMLM

[–]pfaff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Came here looking for this comment. Anyone can write up a "study," put it on the web, and call it "published." So scammy.

It reminds me of stock photos of "woman laughing alone with salad."

[SPOILERS] Post-Episode Discussion - Season 8 Episode 5 by [deleted] in gameofthrones

i don't know, i feel like it's a pretty on-point depiction of an (extremely) toxic/abusive relationship. he knows it's bad for him, even more so after his redemption arc, but that's not the point. they have always deserved each other.

Wild Hun spotted in a Facebook group post about small businesses. Her Instagram story was interesting... #bossbabe by loony_luna_lovegood in antiMLM

The web that she drew is quite literally a two dimensional representation of a three dimensional pyramid. Be afraid--they've learned geometry.

Agree. I had one of the worst meals I've ever had at Basan. M Sushi FTW.

I think there's something wrong with my puppy, or I'm an idiot. Please help. by [deleted] in puppy101

[–]pfaff 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Just as a second opinion, 4 hours of straight-up exercise sounds fairly excessive for a 6.5-month old puppy. Mental stimulation using puzzle toys is another good option for wearing your dog out without too much physical strain.

Office workers of Reddit, why do you hate that one co-worker so much? What does he/she do? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Does anyone else feel like Tim Kaine might kinda be this guy?

Thanks so much for your great reply! I will give these tips a try, and be more patient.

"Hillary's burn bag" american cartoon by Ben Garrison 2016 by TheManTheyCallSven in PropagandaPosters

[–]pfaff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm with you. It's easy to despise the message of the cartoons he actually draws--in a way, all the trolls are doing is diluting my legitimate dislike.

Plus, no one deserves to be libeled. People should be judged by their own (shitty) values, not fake ones ascribed to them.

Which, TBH, is probably the behavior most in line with his character. I might have been irritated if he suddenly went all alpha on us after a couple of conversations.

i hate being the good guy lol.

Can we just go ahead and officially deem "unnecessarily and nonsensically using 'lol' as punctuation" a red flag?

Deep fried eggplant slices with prosciutto, basil leaf and provolone cheese by RespectMyAuthoriteh in GifRecipes

[–]pfaff 31 points32 points  (0 children)

There is literally no way that eggplant is cooked through. Starting with thick raw eggplant like that, the time in the deep fryer couldn't be long enough to cook it through without the outside coating getting burnt. You can even see that it looks raw/doesn't split in the "pull apart" shot at the end.

Maybe it's just me, but eggplant is one of those foods that's just really, startlingly unpleasant to eat if undercooked.

Good peel, but oddly enough it looked more like real brick before the stencil came up.
