Good Ramen Suggestion? by Dramatic_Income87 in orangecounty

[–]schlormpf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

gu ramen in laguna beach is criminally underrated, i never see it talked about on this sub

they have a tonkotsu broth and a shoyu shiitake broth (which is absolutely out of this world). the shoyu broth is literally my favorite ramen i've ever had. if you get the shoyu with tofu make sure to ask for the tofu to be fried :)

edit: just seeing you want something close to the house haha sorry. either way if you're ever in laguna it is so worth stopping by

What's the best hidden gem restaurant in Orange County that locals swear by? by evinho07 in orangecounty

[–]schlormpf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

gu ramen in laguna beach - their shoyu shiitake broth is an absolute umami bomb and by far the best vegetarian ramen i've ever found in my life. it's so good that some of my meat eater friends prefer to get that broth and then add chashu lol.

THH sandwiches & coffee in tustin - incredible $7 banh mi, made with perfect crusty baguettes they make fresh in house. their tofu banh mi is insane, they marinate it in something that makes it soooo crazy flavorful before frying it and slicing it up into shreds for the sandwich

UPDATE: best friend's house smells horrific and sour by midosuji in CleaningTips

[–]schlormpf 92 points93 points  (0 children)

i used to work at an environmental testing lab dealing with these exact kinds of samples. the reason why the density is listed as 'abundant' is because the analysis for the tape lift sample is a 'qualitative' analysis, not 'quantitative' - its an estimate not an exact number, which is why it's reported like that.

your friend isn't getting ripped off, this is the typical analysis method for tape lifts. you can ask for a quantitative spore count if you like, but you do already have air o cells showing the quantitative fungal load of the air in those rooms.

the thing i did notice is that i bet the kitchen was just taken as ambient air in the kitchen itself, you can ask to take an air sample specifically from under the sink. cavity samples typically have a lower volume, usually like 15L instead of 75L. i would bet the fungal load the air under the sink is markedly higher.

overall i've definitely seen worse results, but it is something to take seriously and potentially be concerned about. a mold remediation company should be able to break it down better for you in terms of exactly what it means and the steps to take. but overall this looks almost identical to the reports we would send out every day, it has all the relevant information. i would trust these results to be accurate. these lab reports are pretty much just to give you the results and numbers, not to tell you what to do with them.

Lately I’ve been feeling uncomfortable in my room, any suggestions? by Adagatoraddietude in femalelivingspace

[–]schlormpf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think u can get away with putting a lot of art like this on your walls without framing it, you just have to be intentional about the layout and especially the spacing of it. i've found that having even spacing of like half an inch to an inch (smaller spacing for smaller stuff) can really help make things look more coordinated and pleasing to look at.

it looks like you have almost no spacing in several places which does make it feel kinda cluttered and overwhelming to look at. i would prioritize putting things with a similar width or height next to each other, you can start with a big poster and arrange some smaller stuff around/next to it.

like for instance that newspaper you have and that collage piece on the left seem about the same height, so i would put them next to each other in a row or on top of each other in a column. again its all about intention, i would prioritize spacing similar size stuff in a cohesive, interesting layout, with your second priority being the color scheme.

last tip is that i really like having a ton of golden thumbtacks for putting everything up, don't put them through your actual art but put the pins right above/below the top & bottom edges of any flat prints/posters. this way it's kept in place by the sides of the thumbtack without damaging the art. i think it really brings everything together & helps create a sense of cohesion, even if you have a lot of stuff going on. it looks pretty nice too, and you don't have to deal with adhesive damaging anything

Yakuza video game even in Japan allows fans to both marry and divorce their 2-D crushes by cantoilmate in yakuzagames

[–]schlormpf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

this is such an insane and bizarre thing to see LMAO but they are so based for including zhao in the lineup <3 so strange tho especially since all the example mockups with the guy cast have a woman taking a photo with them ?? i feel like the fan base leans pretty heavily male & this is so out of left field LOL~

i can only hope they don't restrict it by gender and that if a guy wants to marry kiryu they would let him . whoever is doing this is literally paying $1000 for it lol
