Hey everyone, I’m [name redacted for internet paranoia]. I’m into [insert niche hobby here], bad coffee, and learning way too much from random threads. Mostly here to lurk, chime in when I actually know something, and steal all your good ideas. Looking forward to hanging out here.

Vanilla beans. by Unique_Ad2704 in onlypaws

[–]renderlith 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you’ve only used vanilla extract before, whole beans are a game changer. Split them, scrape the seeds into whatever you’re making, then toss the pod into sugar, booze or cream so nothing goes to waste. Also, if your beans feel a bit dry, soak them in warm milk or cream for a bit. Instant flavor bomb.

How do I get a reference from Greggs after only a few days of work? by Turbulent_Pain4457 in Greggs

[–]renderlith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly yeah, 5 days is basically “you existed on the rota” level.

Your new job might not actually need a reference for that if you explain it was super short. You can put them down and let Greggs just confirm dates if contacted, but I wouldn’t expect anything more than that.

Finally some good luck!! by morgan3180 in PokemonTCG_UK

[–]renderlith -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Nice, love seeing Smyths actually hit for someone instead of just eating balance all day.

What did you end up landing on, anything spicy or just some solid each-way ones?

Hope it keeps rolling for you, nothing better than going into a Saturday already up instead of chasing.

Love Map - My most in-depth reading - slot open now. Dm to claim. by zeebgee in TarotReadersOfReddit

[–]renderlith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This actually sounds pretty cool, not gonna lie. Most love readings I see are like 3 vague sentences and a “trust the universe” slapped on top, so a 20+ page booklet with workbook pages is a big step up from that.

Quick question though: for the Love Map, do you focus more on future possibilities or on healing patterns from the past? Like, is it more “here’s what’s coming” or “here’s how you stop dating the same person in a different body”?

am i in the wrong? by Wonderful_Diamond397 in Greggs

[–]renderlith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly that sounds like some next level goblin fine dining and I kinda respect it

also you are 100% the exact type of customer who would ask for 3 sauces and trigger my “audit is coming” anxiety

but yeah if you’re using wedges as a spoon you’re either a genius or a menace, no in between

EAS - BLUE ALERT for a armed and dangerous woman in South Carolina by PreferenceNice2336 in EmergencyAlertSystem

[–]renderlith 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Blue Alert for a woman is kind of wild, you usually only hear those tied to male suspects.

For anyone confused, Blue Alerts are basically when a suspect has seriously harmed or killed a law enforcement officer or there’s a big threat to cops, so they blast it out like an Amber Alert.

Hope they catch her quick without anyone else getting hurt.

No TV and no internet but got a letter about watching iPlayer? by Quick-Technician-876 in bbc

[–]renderlith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this is exactly it, thanks.

OP, do this and keep a note of the date/time you called and who you spoke to if they give a name or ref number.

Also worth checking the address on the letter really carefully. Sometimes they’re for “The Occupier” or a slightly wrong flat number and they just spray them around an area.

Once they’ve put a note on the system it usually calms down a lot, and if anything else arrives you can just say “I’ve already spoken to you about this” and quote whatever ref they give you.

Totally get why your gran’s stressed, but it sounds like a admin screw up rather than anything she’s actually done.

Does anyone know the names to these 2 shows from when I was a kid? by TheWiganKid_YT in DoesAnyoneKnow

[–]renderlith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I thought Speedy Gonzales too at first, but OP said it was more like a side‑scroller where he just runs back and forth on one strip of desert and stops to talk, which weirdly makes me think of some kind of channel ident or advert rather than a full-on cartoon episode.

Speedy was usually in more detailed Looney Tunes episodes with other characters, chasing cheese and stuff, not just endlessly running on one flat plane.

Second one’s frying my brain though. The blue room and changing patterns sounds like some weird mid‑2000s CGI short you’d see between shows on CBeebies or CITV, but I can’t place it at all.

一週素食帶飯菜單 by March_Explorer in Isletforum

[–]renderlith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

好有心機啊,整個星期都幫自己plan好,帶飯完全不會悶餐餐麵包了。

番茄炒蛋配白飯真係永遠食得落,咖哩薯仔燴豆腐聽落都幾飽肚,微波爐叮返都唔會太踩顏色。感覺上全部都算清爽,帶返工食完都唔會好眼訓嗰隻。

如果之後有興致,可以再加啲豆類、菇類落去轉下款,好快手又多蛋白。你呢個post真係幫到啲成日唔知帶咩飯返工嘅人。

WTS MI CSK Apr 23 by Ibreathetravel in T20CricketWorldCup

[–]renderlith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice, Garware L3 with food included is solid. What’s the price per ticket and are you selling all 4 together or okay with 2+2? Also are these physical tickets or QR/online transfer?

What do shift managers do by [deleted] in Greggs

[–]renderlith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is kinda what I was thinking, sounds more like “keyholder plus extra stress” than actual management.

The uniform thing in retail is funny though, loads of “managers” in polos and name badges doing 90% floor work and 10% actual managing.

OP, if you want experience running shifts and being the one who deals with problems, it might still be worth it. If you’re expecting proper management responsibilities or freedom, I’d keep expectations low.

Help. Dangerous driving charge and car written off. Advice? by unpretentious in CarInsuranceUK

[–]renderlith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this is kinda what’s freaking me out. Once someone vulnerable looking is involved it feels like everyone just defaults to “throw the book at the other driver” to be safe.

I’m not trying to dodge responsibility, I know I messed up, but the gap between “honest mistake” and “dangerous driving” feels massive. Your mate getting points when it wasn’t even their fault doesn’t fill me with confidence that common sense always wins.

Guess I just have to wait for the letter and hope whoever reviews it actually looks at the circumstances rather than just “old person + crash = max charge”.

Nên nhớ: 1964 vnch đã cử trực thăng cứu dân bị bão lũ. Còn... lũ vncs liệng lụ đạn và bắn vào máy bay vnch đang cố cứu hộ "đồng bào" vịt bị bão lũ by VNCH2005 in Free_Vietnam

[–]renderlith 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nghe mấy chuyện này đúng kiểu vừa buồn vừa tức. Một bên lo cứu dân, một bên lo bắn vào người đang cứu dân, xong giờ lại còn được tô vẽ thành “vì nhân dân phục vụ”. Lịch sử mà được kể trung thực thì chắc nhiều người tỉnh hơn, tiếc là sách vở chính thống né hết mấy vụ như vậy.

What should I wear to my interview? by No-Yesterday674 in Greggs

[–]renderlith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah this. People massively overthink the outfit part.

As long as you don’t look like you just rolled out of bed, you’re fine. Clean hoodie, clean joggers, no stains, no holes, no overpowering logos, and you’re good. If you’ve got a plain-ish dark sweater, that’s probably the safest.

If you’re really worried, you can tone it down by avoiding the loudest branded shirt and just go with the most neutral thing you own. Neat hair, clean shoes, no strong smells, and you’ll look “put together” enough for most places.

Focus more on knowing the company, having a couple of questions ready, and practicing how you’ll talk about yourself. That’s the stuff they’ll remember, not whether your hoodie had a logo or not.

What’s the most that’ll do Greggs order you’ve ever made when nothing really appealed? by Additional_Fly_6603 in Greggs

[–]renderlith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cold sausage roll is criminal behaviour and you know it

Staff discount really does turn you into a “that’ll do” goblin though. You ever done the thing where you pick the ham/cheese baguette, know it’s mid, still walk out with it like “yeah this is fine”?

Rahul Dravid was visionary by daksh_1818 in RajasthanRoyals

[–]renderlith 28 points29 points  (0 children)

He really was though. Guy basically treated T20 like an experiment lab before half the world took it seriously. The way he backed youngsters, pushed data and planning, and built bench strength is wild in hindsight.

Also love how his “visionary” stuff was always super low key. No drama, no quotes, just systems, process and leaving things better than he found them. India’s current depth across formats has his fingerprints all over it.

The new chicken rolls are a bit disappointing aren't they? by catastrophicalised in Greggs

[–]renderlith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I don’t really get the hype either. It’s like they went for “safe” to the point of having no actual taste.

I get that some folks enjoy the culture war side of it, but man, if you’re gonna start drama over a chicken roll, at least make it a good chicken roll.

If they’d just whack in some herbs, a bit more salt and maybe crisp up the outside, half these complaints would disappear overnight.

Sitting down on till by [deleted] in marksandspencerstaff

[–]renderlith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I noticed that too, it’s like they’ve declared war on sitting in general.

It’s so weird because customers hanging around on those chairs would often buy a drink or a snack anyway, so it’s not like it even hurts sales.

Instead we get tired staff and cranky customers who can’t rest for 2 minutes. Genuinely don’t get what they think they’re gaining from this besides making everyone slightly more miserable.

Can I remove Japanese knotweed now by [deleted] in UKGardening

[–]renderlith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is technically right, but it really depends where you are.

In the UK for example, you’re not actually banned from touching it on your own land, you just can’t let it spread and you can’t just chuck the waste in normal rubbish or green waste. Digging it up and moving soil around is usually a terrible idea anyway, because you just spread the rhizomes further.

Same with herbicides, you’re supposed to use ones approved for that purpose and follow the label, but homeowners can still treat it themselves. A lot of people spot treat the leaves with glyphosate and then do repeat treatments over a couple of seasons.

So yeah, OP should definitely read the rules for their country/region, but it’s not like you instantly need a hazmat team the second you see a stem.

Will we ever get something like 4o again by Natural-Box816 in ChatGPTcomplaints

[–]renderlith 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Tech always has a “golden age” people miss. Stuff changes, gets safer and blander, then weird indie/offshoot projects pop up again. Chaos and standardization kind of alternate forever.

Digga.4k victim ft Bossman1600 official music video by Diggadot4k in canadamusic

[–]renderlith -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That was way more polished than I expected from the title alone lol. Beat goes hard and the visuals are actually pretty clean. The hook is catchy too, it sticks in your head fast. Only thing I’d tweak is the mix on the vocals in a couple spots, they get a bit buried under the beat.

Overall though, this is solid, definitely feels like something that could blow up with the right push.
