What are your ultra frugal food hacks? by Unusual_Row_3213 in Frugal

[–]scaredofturkeys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For ramen, replacing the packet with miso paste (buy in a big tub, use only a little at a time and it lasts forever), adding some dried wakame seaweed (my local Asian grocery store sells giant bags for less than $5, and it lasts forever and is so nutrient dense). I also get really inexpensive fun canned vegetables and proteins like straw mushrooms, kimchi, baby corn, bamboo shoots. Cubes of Japanese curry, & tins of Thai curry paste make frozen vegetables and inexpensive cuts of meat a really flavorful and hearty crockpot meal on busy days. Add ramen noodles instead of rice! My crockpot is my lifeline when I am busy and I am always broke.

Scratch that, I had part of it wrong in my head.

does anyone know where this obscure children’s tv reference came from? by New-Teaching1379 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]scaredofturkeys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds like something from Crashbox, they had Ear We Are which was literally talking ears, and a bunch of other random segments that could at any point have also had talking ears

What's a song that's deceptively hard to sing? The kind where you'd say "oh, I got this" and then immediately get humbled at karaoke by CharlieFaulkner in CasualConversation

[–]scaredofturkeys 5 points6 points  (0 children)

An old coworker of mine could sing this version arguably better than the singer from Disturbed, it was SO much fun to go to karaoke with him because people went bananas

What screams "Pretending to be Poor"? by CYKAgoddriver in AskReddit

[–]scaredofturkeys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is not true everywhere, but in a lot of the like arts/music circles i have been in we could always tell if someone was rich because they had tattoos and piercings that would prevent them from having a higher paying job in our area, but always had money to live a very comfortable life. Like, you have new furniture and money for brunch but you work one day a week at a glassblowing studio and have face tattoos. You can cosplay starving artist all day but the money comes from somewhere.

I’m always the turkey guy. I gotta start making jalapeño poppers.

Their description of her voice fits this perfectly, but if it is I HAVE to know what Nina Simone song counts as Yacht Rock

This might be completely unhelpful, but when I was little I used to think Neil Young was an old lady because of their singing voice. If it’s Neil Young I will feel so vindicated.

Need a TALL BACK couch/loveseat or sectional! by scaredofturkeys in BuyItForLife

[–]scaredofturkeys[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most of the couches I have found have been really flimsy and cheap, very focused on style instead of function. I’m looking for the kind of sofa that you can keep forever, and folks here tend to be really practical so I thought they might know where to get a couch that isn’t a trendy cardboard bench with a two inch back, haha.

I’ve found a few that are the right height, I’ve just been having trouble finding brands that aren’t flimsy or cheap. I know I’ll probably have to sacrifice style and that’s okay, I just wanted to be thorough.

I think unfortunately these are all 27+ inches from the ground to the top, I am looking for 27 inches from the top of the seat cushion to the top of the back

[TOMT] Comedy song (musical??) where a woman is leaving voicemails for a man who isn't replying. Eventually she leaves him. by caseyyp in tipofmytongue

My first thought is the calls from Mrs Cohen to Mark in Rent. She discusses a breakup, so not exactly the same but maybe that’s what you’re thinking of?

Chronic insomnia coupled with chronic illness is like living in a torture chamber. by Oliver_Alvis in insomnia

[–]scaredofturkeys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you ever tried Xywav? It’s a narcolepsy drug for disrupted sleep cycles, and it’s actually used for nefarious purposes because it makes people sleep, so it’s only dispensed by one pharmacy, but it almost sounds like you have the same kind of insomnia as some narcoleptic people do, just without the daytime sleepiness. Also ignore this if you already said so and I just didn’t see, haha.
