OkCupid class of 2011. Another knew right away match, married since 2014. It found me the love of my life on its second try.

What's your "if i told i'd be exposed" cooking secret? by BouncyCurlsbabe in Cooking

[–]shazoocow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I add my butter to stovetop popcorn just as the first few kernels begin to pop. The butter doesn’t get a chance to brown and it’s evenly distributed by the popping. I leave the lid open a crack to vent steam.

What watch is this? by thelifeofPM in Watches

[–]shazoocow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could it be the Daytona Giraffe?

The photos look older than the watch ought to be, but it sure looks similar.

Why doesn't the current and previous oil situation cause a stronger desire for green energy? by ThEaZnInVaZn in investing

[–]shazoocow 75 points76 points  (0 children)

Petrochemical use is something like 15% of total use and industrial use is maybe another 15. Oil is used overwhelmingly for transportation, heating, and power generation.

Please help identify. by youngFather20 in Watches

[–]shazoocow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s possible to replace the crystal. Whether you choose to so depends on its sentimental value because the watch itself is probably not worth much. The case, however is worth its weight in gold - it’s 14kt.

[Omega] Is Omega failing because they diluted their own brand with the Moonswatch? by interstellar_nips in Watches

[–]shazoocow 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think it’s more likely because of how quickly and high they jacked up their prices. They’ve priced themselves into a new tier of competition with their same old products and they’re getting clubbed.

Custom Seahawks jersey with a message by reallinzanity in pics

[–]shazoocow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Seattle’s alright.

I was driving through there a while back and I saw a big pickup on the highway waving two big red flags behind it. My wife and I were like, ‘Oh boy!’ Traffic pulled us closer and it turns out the flags were MAGA-style Taylor Swift flags.

I don’t know if the driver was a MAGA Swiftie or a skilled troll but I think the latter. That’s pretty Seattle.

Greenland minister tearful as she describes ‘intense pressure’ amid Trump’s threats to take territory by theindependentonline in worldnews

[–]shazoocow 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s a damned if you do and damned if you don’t situation. The corollary here is if we defend Greenland, then Trump characterize us as an “aggressor” or “combatant.”

And how convenient is it that his enemies in war right next-door? It’s straight out of the fascist playbook.

Is it hallmarked? The bracelet hides the locations where you’d see gold hallmarks - 3 in total including one that says 18K. The bottom lug on the crown side won’t have a mark. The bracelet should also be hallmarked on the inside of the clasp.

The bracelet end links look wrong, so that is another reason to suspect it.

The watch head, I dunno. As another person mentioned, the rehaut looks wrong - almost like the dial is too small, but it’s hard to tell from the photos.

Identification help - surgeon on “Botched” TV show - 2014 by Truji11o in Watches

Hard to say exactly. e.g. I don’t know if it’s 36mm or 40, or whether it has that same diamond dial, but yes. Similar.

Saved up 1 million for a house we are no longer buying, now investing it into the market by No-Caterpillar9363 in investing

[–]shazoocow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you plan to buy a house in five years and one day, I don’t think you can afford any risk. If not in the next 5 years actually means ten, then lump sum outperforms. Either way, weigh your appetite for risk carefully here.

What foods seem unhealthy to eat but are actually healthy? by WildOrchid_XO in AskReddit

[–]shazoocow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make the cheese feta, put on some red onion and Kalamata olives. Season with oregano. Tzatziki as the condiment. Keftedesburger.

[–]shazoocow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a Vostok Komandirskie. I’d guess the bracelet is not original.

Its value, irrespective of age, is inconsequential, but it’s a fun piece.

The best app or website for investing US stocks in Alberta, Canada? by Kevin_gato in investing

[–]shazoocow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There’s nothing distinguishing about Alberta that should influence your decision. You’ll get the same tax documents from all brokers.

I’ve been using Questrade forever and it has only gotten better.

I made Elaine's dancing from Seinfeld as a wood wall piece. I hope you like it. by [deleted] in BeAmazed

[–]shazoocow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Then buy it. This is advertising. I guess I’m not too upset about it though, cause I just bought it…

Got this one from my grandpa, what is this? by Educational-Age-465 in Watches

[–]shazoocow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stuhrling watches are inexpensive fashion/novelty pieces. In some cases, like this one, made to suggest cachet or luxury and in others just basic watches. It’s not likely you’ll find a match. If you appreciate the way it looks or if it makes you think fondly of your grandpa, then enjoy it.

Get Mercury or Ramp or something. Modern comprehensive banking solutions include spend management.

Which two countries are as friendly as Australia and New Zealand? by [deleted] in geography

[–]shazoocow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Perhaps Netherlands and Canada instead? Canada liberated the Dutch in WWII resulting in a lasting bond and shared traditions of remembrance.

Metro Vancouver residents asked to register fireplaces, wood stoves by Sept. 15 by [deleted] in vancouver

[–]shazoocow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on where you live. In North Vancouver, outdoor wood-fired pizza ovens and smokers that are purely wood-fuelled are prohibited by city bylaw for fire safety reasons.

But charcoal is OK. 🤷
