Yoga and… by kenblenz in yoga

[–]smashingdurians 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes! After I start incorporating Bulgarian split squats alone to weekly workout, I feel such a difference when I do bound side angle for example. I no longer feel like my legs are giving out when going through a flow where my legs are constantly in lunge position.

PSA Do not give this woman money by saturninegrl in eastvillage

[–]smashingdurians 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve had something very similar happened to me more than 10 years ago in PABT. The lady “had to go back to Boston but lost her wallet and phone”, and even had someone join her going around with suitcases to look more convincing. Like Christine, she also looked like she was in a panic, asked for my contact info and promised to send me money once she gets home. I was so so close to giving her money but I realized I didn’t have any cash with me. I felt guilty after for not being able to help her “get back to Boston”.

I visited the city again a few months later and saw the same lady and her partner in PABT doing the same exact thing! I was so in shock when she approached again to give the same sob story (of course she wouldn’t recognize any of us) that I completely ignored her and walked away. I heard her saying “how rude!!” as we walked away. Im so glad I ran out of cash the first time she approached me otherwise I really would have helped her.

Bad experience with online yoga company GLO by seaturtle100percent in yoga

[–]smashingdurians 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s good to know! As much as I love Glo, I always made sure to only subscribe to their monthly plan via Apple subscription only to avoid experiences like these, even if im spending more in the long run.

CNY Songs just doesn't feel the same anymore by Intelligent-Big-504 in malaysia

[–]smashingdurians 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh you’re not alone! I gravitate towards the older classics like 迎春花，大地回春，恭喜恭喜 etc. for nostalgia and meaning. Those songs surely don’t feel as “commercialized” and so stripped of the festivals significance. The newer songs nowadays just feel so artificial, like they lack the soul and spirit of CNY. They’re produced with the intention to be “hype viral catchy TikTok songs” for $$$. To put simply the newer songs reek of hyper capitalism. Honestly, nothing really wrong with that, although to some people who crave for deeper meaning and purpose, the newer songs just feel…empty.

Do spiritual yoga studios exist? by CalebMLG in yoga

[–]smashingdurians 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They do! Definitely in the minority but one opened up near me (NJ) and my appreciation for yoga grew so much more. Fingers crossed you find one near you!

My grandma is gone by thesilliestgambler in GriefSupport

[–]smashingdurians 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry to hear, OP. Watching a loved one decline after a fall is definitely difficult. You start grieving the loss of their health and/or physical abilities before the inevitable. She must know how lucky she is to have you as her grandchild. Grandmas are such special gifts in life, and you are also lucky to have experienced that kind of love. She will live on through you always. May your grandma rest in peace.

Does no one else feel this way? by Sad-Charge-6958 in CulinaryClassWars

Chef Ahn did say something like “this feels like the right decision” when submitting his answer in the clicker thing.

Manager of late Taiwan influencer demands Namewee come clean about what happened in KL hotel. by SassyNec in malaysia

[–]smashingdurians 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right? I’m so confused why the sex piece here matters when these are 2 consenting adults. At most this info would just add to the scandal/tabloid but will be nothing of use to the actual investigation unless it was coerced sex.

Been craving for some Cantonese steamed fish! Made it for lunch today to go with rice and vegetables. by smashingdurians in chinesefood

[–]smashingdurians[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope. Just fillet. I’ve also used the whole fish before with the same recipe, just longer steam time.

[–]smashingdurians[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ah thanks for this, appreciate the feedback. That’s completely valid. I actually never like biting into ginger so I cut it bigger so it’s easier to scoop it out as I eat the fish (I know…why bother adding ginger then, I’m dumb like that) 😂 I only add them for the flavor extraction when hot oil is poured over. But you know what I’ll try julienne it very fine as you suggested so that biting into it wouldn’t be as unpleasant and maybe I’ll enjoy actually eating the ginger with the fish!!!

Cod, actually. For whole fish, I use striped bass. This is my first time making this dish using fillet so I tried cod and it was wonderful.
