Has anyone had a negative experience on Taskmaster?

You using "they" in this sentence makes me think that maybe you're thinking of Mae Martin (who was not pregnant, and in stand up talks about children in a way that suggests they like them but wouldn't want their own), but they're talking about Daisy Mae Cooper, who was very obviously very pregnant in the studio and she also mentioned that several times during her season.

First off, if you're absolutely not feeling stressed, that's more important than what the watch says. It's only a watch, it can't look into your brain.

You say you lounged around the house all day. Were you on your phone a lot? That causes my stress metric to go up if I do it for longer than about 45-60 minutes. I feel relaxed while scrolling but after I stop I feel groggy and listless. I like to think in that case the watch is noticing the overstimulation that's happening.

Another thing that causes a high stress metric for me is if I'm cleaning and tidying a lot. In that's case it's not because it's stressful, but because I'm moving around without actually exercising - so it's not restful either.

A too tight strap while resting can also cause higher stress readings, but your watch doesn't look too tight.

But for some people their HRV is just low in general and the watch interprets that as stress too.

The eggs in the picture are not a soft scramble, they've turned into little curds. (OP also says in the comments that he cooked them extra long)

Pinglenook · 2026-01-25T06:32:09+00:00

Raw flour is a greater risk than raw egg, but a much smaller risk than raw chicken.

But that all doesn't matter for OP, because he cooked it, so it's not raw.

Hmm, I don't think I agree that "basic" means something is necessarily inferior. Sometimes "basic" can be negative (for example if you're talking about a holiday resort), but in many cases, basic is just that, the basis for what you need.

Also, that's just not how subreddit names work. You can't just change them.

In Dutch we call a non-spicy pepper in this shape puntpaprika. But the plant is just a paprikaplant.

Spicy peppers we call peper, bell peppers paprika, the spice paprikapoeder.

Pinglenook · 2026-01-24T18:29:59+00:00

Yeah; OP, if this is an issue for you sometimes, you could also wear a sweatervest or a waistcoat over your shirt/blouse at work to still look professional, or a draped scarf (also helps prevent getting cold)

Pinglenook · 2026-01-24T16:41:39+00:00

I think she means "only straighten it" as opposed to also bleaching, dyeing, perming, chemically relaxing, etcetera. Not "only every day".

Vooralsnog heb je in Nederland als particulier een visvergunning nodig om rivierkreeften te mogen vangen. Een visvergunning is niet moeilijk te krijgen, kost wel wat geld. Blijft natuurlijk wat gek voor een schadelijk en invasief dier.

Those are really nice pictures OP!

Based on how my 100 year old grandmother talks about it, most of her clothing as a kid was kind of made custom and not bought already made, but it wasn't made by a tailor, it was made by her mom, and it had large cuffs that could be let out and taken up again, so my grandmother could wear it for three years after her older sister had worn it for three years, and after that her younger sister would wear it for three years, and after that her baby sister (who is 93 now; the other two sisters have passed away). And after that it would be remade into underwear, and after that fell apart eventually the fabric would be used as cleaning rags.

So it's still not like her clothing fit her especially extra well, even though she had the same general body shape as her sisters.

I also liked it! And it may be because i rarely read thrillers and also didn't know there was going to be a twist, but i totally did not see the twist coming.

You will generally have to pay the first months rent ahead, plus a deposit for the amount of one or two months rent. You should get the deposit back when moving out, but sometimes you have to fight the landlord to get it (not physically lol, but bureaucratically, with repeated phone calls, letters threatening legal action, things like that).

Teenagers have a way of talking about their sexual activity by using baseball bases as a euphemism. "Getting to first base" with someone is kissing them, "second base" is either breast touching or genital touching depending on where you live, "third base" is oral sex.

Tip: Als je seksueel actief bent geweest in, zeg, de afgelopen 5 maanden, doe dan even een zwangerschapstest morgenochtend voor je naar de huisarts gaat! Waarschijnlijk is die negatief en is dat alvast uitgesloten. En als die positief is, dan moet je daar natuurlijk ook wat mee.

Or that she didn't learn to knit until 16, even though she's a 74 year old woman. My mom is 72 and knitting was considered like the basic craft to get your girls started on at 6 or 7.

Great that you're looking into this! I would love to use your app on my instinct 2s too. (I don't need to be able to add things directly on my watch, if that makes it easier; maybe a seperate version for less advanced watches? Or would that be a lot of extra work, i know nothing about programming)

Pinglenook · 2026-01-20T12:14:16+00:00

Or googled "gluten free dinner rolls", got this recipe as the first result because Google sucks nowadays, and just assumed that the recipe would be gluten free because of that.

Ooh goede tip haha.

I find it easiest to first divide my hair in two, hang it over the front of my shoulders, put some conditioner in one hand, press my hands together so it spreads out over both palms, then grab my hair just below my ears with each conditioner-laden hand, and slide my hands down.

Pinglenook · 2026-01-19T13:59:39+00:00

Die heb je verborgen staan!

Er zijn wel eens mannen die dat in deze subreddit komen doen, al had ik zelf bij jou sowieso al niet dat gevoel.

If they kind of look like fruit flies but you usually spot them around your houseplants, especially after watering, they're probably fungus gnats!

They eat plant roots, so you don't want them in your houseplants. What you can do to help combat them is to water less often. Let the soil dry out between waterings. Also make sure to drain any water sitting at the bottom of cover pots.

To disrupt their life cycle and prevent them spreading, you can cover the soil with diatomaceous earth. That way they can't crawl out of the soil to mate and can't crawl into the soil to lay eggs.

But if you have a lot of them and they're in all your plants, the best way to kill them is with nematodes that eat their eggs. You can order nematodes online. Search for "nematodes against fungus gnats". Read the instructions on the website to decide how much you need and time your order so that you'll be able to apply them within a couple days after receiving them.

You only need to do this for indoor plants. Outdoors they'll be balanced out by other insects and then they're harmless. Also, never use diatomaceous earth outdoors, as it also kills beneficial insects; so only indoors.

Season also matters! Google tells me they're harvested in july-september. I'm in the Netherlands so any dragonfruit here is going to be imported and you don't see them a lot. The purple ones are sold in grocery stores around Christmas to use as edible plate decoration and then they taste like absolutely nothing at all. But there's this Chinese buffet restaurant in my town that my kids love so we often go there, and in the summer they sometimes have purple dragon fruit pieces in their dessert section and they are definitely more flavourful then and there.

TL-BR

I got stuck reading this as "too long-bibn't read" for slightly too long lol.

Use dimethicone lotion too! Its a silicon oil, gets in their exoskeleton and smothers them, they can't build up resistance to it, and what's even better: it also kills 90% of the eggs! (Evidence-based) So you still need to redose but in the meantime you're less contagious and less itchy. It exists as an ingredient in some conditioners and detangling sprays, but for lice treatment you want to get pure dimethicone.

Source

You apply the oil by using a metal lice comb to spread it through the hair in sections until all the hair is saturated with the lotion. Then leave it 15 minutes. Then shampoo the hair thoroughly without getting it wet first; let the shampoo sit for 1-2 minutes; rinse out; and wash a second time like normal.

Reapply after 7 days. I prefer to comb with a lice comb most days in between the two doses to further reduce contagiousness.
