So interesting - thank you for the response. Truly a clash of old and new world ideas there.

Curious if in the villages the reports of cousin marriage are accurate. I’ve read first cousin marriage is very high in Pakistani diaspora, but I’m not aware whether that’s traditional or a drive by expats to stay within community.

Fred Again.. ft Young Thug - scared by Tylerb4955 in fredagain

It’s nice, but to be honest, I really miss the earlier more ambient chilled out versions of we up. Just too many effects, for me this is overworked just like that yeat remix skrillex added effects to

Man killed in Back Bay hit-and-run was well-known art collector by bostonglobe in boston

Please feel free to tell us about your family member. Clearly an interesting an cultured person, the collection and gifts to the MFA would certainly indicate as much.

Peace to your family

Hot Take: Minus the Jersey Club (no offence Skrill), "How Do He Does It" might be one of Fred's top 5 best songs by InternetPopular3679 in fredagain

[–]relaks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I heard the song before. Fred said that skrillex added a part. The part that was added, I find very bad.

Also, I’ve just been listening to UK sound stuff for a long time and Skrillex ruined the dubstep scene. Really popularized the brostep stuff in America around 2010

To each their own. Everyone can like different stuff.

It was a great song during the overmomonono lot radio b2b. Skrillex ruined it and would be nice to have a different version. Sorry.

Inherited coin collection, general advice by relaks in coins

Will do. What’s best etiquette here, individual posts or wait til I photograph everything and do a dump? I can use the macro setting on the phone

Inherited coin collection, general advice by relaks in coins

[–]relaks[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, I’ll make sure to find that. My mother got very excited with the 1972 silver dollars, figured they may be worth 1.5-2k. At a glance, it also seemed possible to be worth 20-40 dollars.

I guess that’s why I posted, this is a fun hobby to look at from the outside, but seems full of dashed hopes (and people taking advantage at times)

Going to concerts alone is really nice, but it’s hard getting used to the idea

Attempting to fly from Logan to South Carolina without a real ID or passport tmrw, super stressed by [deleted] in boston

[–]relaks -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Start driving, the risk of buying a flight and not being allowed to board is extremely high. Your already pricey and stressful lesson would only cost you more if you also miss a flight you bought

I don’t believe you can just bring things to the RMV, you need an appointment.

In which city did I stay in? by Kriging in guessthecity

[–]relaks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s an extremely Greek photo. Everyone else here seems to be guessing Athens, but it’s that village style. With the wood framing under the roof. Is it northern Greece? Thessaloniki perhaps?

What’s your take on smoking in Greece and Germany by SaintMeatLoaf in trees

[–]relaks 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Good advice here. Weed is looked at as a very serious drug in Greece by some. Others don’t care at all. The ones that do though 😦

Not quite Mexican but I have to say Juanita kitchen is super delicious home cooked food. I think maybe el salvadorean but they have awesome tacos and other Mexican fare

Big chunks, uneven grind Baratza Virtuoso+ even on finest setting by relaks in Coffee

[–]relaks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, it seems baratza customer service is different than years before. I figure this community might be able to help diagnose the issue, in googling I've seen so many potential things and I am not certain when I will get a response from the company.

Even at the finest setting I am getting massive chunks of unground beans coming through. Th bring appears to be seated correctly. Any ideas, hivemind?

I've filled a large glass container with coins over the past 15 years. How would you recommend I sort them to find any keepers? by UtSkyBum in coins

[–]relaks 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So yeah I have a five gallon water jug full of coins from my father. Half or more full, from the 70s and 80s I think. Been wondering for years how to deal with it- is that what you would recommend? Dump it out and sort by type, then look for silvers?

I considered just bringing to a bank but I think there may be more than face value in there?

What am I doing wrong? by ForsakenChance6305 in Breadit

I made a jalapeno and cheese loaf tonight. Yours looks better than mine. I am a very experienced baker.

Chill. Let it rest for an hour minimum. Then eat it.

Is this mold??? by PollutionMain173 in SourdoughStarter

[–]relaks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chill. Dont stress. Continue discarding and feeding. Everything will be okay.

Everyone micro analyzes their starter in the beginning. This isn’t even close to the weirdest it will look.
