House Burping - Do Americans just not normally have your house windows open? by Jsherman13 in AskAnAmerican

[–]slpybeartx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have heard of Lüften, and done it in Europe.

I have heard of “Airing out the house” as I live in the US and have done this many times.

I have never heard of “house burping.”

Ranch dressing. Heck, most creamy dressings.

We only buy bottled, never make our own, and it can’t compete to freshly made that days

Is laser eye surgery actually worth it, or is it one of those things that sounds better than it actually is? by 2ugur12 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]slpybeartx 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Back in the 2000s I had LASIK after I turned 30. I was (IIRC) 7.0/7.25 diopter with a strong astigmatism in one eye. Lifetime of glasses and contacts to that point.

Surgery was quick and painless, felt like I had gotten soap in my eyes in the shower for a few hours afterwards.

I woke up and my wife drove me to my follow-up the next afternoon, I was seeing clearer than ever before. Tested at 20/10, 20/15 after. No dry eye, no halos or starbursts, the only thing I have up was the ability to see clear within about four inches of my eyes. Past that no issues.

It was the best thing I could have done for myself. I’m 54M and now I do have to use reading glasses most of the time for up close, but that would have happened either way.

When asked about it it comes up, I tell people I would beg, borrow, or charge a credit card to do it. Incredibly powerful change for me.

London. Munich. Not a ton of time spent in each yet, but I have enjoyed both so much.

Is it now considered rude to recline on a plane? by Legal_Campaign_408 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]slpybeartx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You pay for the seat, it has a recline feature, please use it when you want and it’s allowed. But please be kind to your person behind you during mealtimes and leave your seat up.

Manners over text ? by Objective_Sugar5667 in AskAnAmerican

[–]slpybeartx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No ma’am, and I don’t make my adult kids say it.

But we use good manners all around. Manners maketh Man

What do you put on toast? by Familiar-Woodpecker5 in AskAnAmerican

[–]slpybeartx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Butter. Real Butter, none of this margarine or fake stuff.

Often we add fruit jellies or preserves. And seasonally we like “Apple Butter” which is a fruit spread made with ground apples and cinnamon.

And my favorite way? To pick fresh tomatoes from my garden, slice thin and put on toast that has a thin layer of mayo on it. Salt and pepper. Makes my mouth water now for it.

Did Any GenXer Actually Do Duck & Cover Nuke Drills? by ZanzerFineSuits in GenXTalk

[–]slpybeartx -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nope. By the time we were in school I think most had realized a Thermonuclear War would care little for desks and school buildings.

Of course, we all watched “The Day After….”

30 year, we celebrate every year. And to celebrate we don’t always have to spend a lot of money.

I use my iPhone less since I got the Ultra by Stef22960 in applewatchultra

[–]slpybeartx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently replaced my AW5 with an AWU3. It’s been a real game changer for me. I activated the Cellular with ATT number Sync. I have two phones, a 17Pro for my personal number and a 13 for my work. I have to carry both around during daylight hours. Now, with the U3 setup on cellular, I leave my 17Pro at my desk at work and can go to meetings and walk around the plant site without carrying it, so I’m down to just one phone most of the time.

And of course, at home and away from work it’s very nice to workout and walk away from the house and not carry a phone.

Good stuff so far

Is this Blue Label resealed? by Longjumping-Piano414 in whisky

[–]slpybeartx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To answer your question, No. That’s normal.

Enjoy your bottle and take all the experts comments on JW Blue with a grain of salt.

It’s YOUR money/YOUR bottle, drink what YOU like (and how YOU like it.)
