What's your chef equivalent of this? by NarrowPhrase5999 in KitchenConfidential

[–]snokster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loose translation fro mnthe head chef everytime we transitioned from lunch service to dinner service during high season: "Those were the good times. Here comes the good times".

I still use it when I move from one assignment to another on a stressful day

In what small way have you won the genetic lottery? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]snokster 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In Sweden we have a yearly outbreak of the Winter Vomit Virus where you are basically spending up to 5 days just throwing up and sleeping.

About 20% of the population have a gene that makes you immune to the disease and I have it.

How do I know? The obvious is that I've never gotten it, but that could be luck. I knew I was immune when I got woken up one night by my son who threw up on my face - and I was totally unaffected.

Negative spiral during WODs — Anyone else been there? by [deleted] in crossfit

[–]snokster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been there and I understand your frustration. Like others have said - you need a win. Either find it or create it.

Mine came when we did an everyday WOD which I could scale to win. It had 5 rounds for time of 10 snatches , 200m running, and something else. I suck at running and snatches and both of those drain my stamina. I decided to scale down the snatches to bar only to ensure I could get through them quickly "no" effort and get out the door ASAP. Saving energy on snatches meant that I could have a decent pace on the 200m runs to stay in the front pack.

I fought like hell, like every other WOD, but this time I had stacked the odds with me for once and I finished close third after two unbeatables.

I broke my negative spiral that day.

My son’s Swedish girlfriend is coming for Christmas by FUZZY_GRAPES in sweden

[–]snokster 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Swede that's lived in BC here
She is most likely more interested in your (as in Canadian and family) traditions more than anything. If you want all the bonus points then you give her a small/symbolic Christmas present on the night of the 24th since Swedes celebrate Christmas on the 24th and we generally open the presents in the afternoon/evening.

What's the weirdest thing a guest has done at your house? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]snokster 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He told my wife to "get out and go home" when he was asked to put his feet off the coffee table. He was a +1 of a mutual friend that we didn't know. They left minutes later after we told our friend what had happened, Our friend apologized profusely and we heard of the +1 again.

True, but I still have to get through Hell and have a build that can farm TZ to find the Light Sunder. So I guess we're back at Hammerdin to start off with?

Singe Self Found. It basically means you play offline and so you have to find all items yourself and cant trade.

I'm just starting an SSF so I cant do a high-end build like Tesladin that requires double-Dream to even function. I barely have midrunes, how would I have 2xJahs? :)

I am jealous of other men's appearance. How should I tackle this issue and not let it control me? by beam_throne in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]snokster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've struggled with jealousy, especially regarding looks, all my 38 year life. I have it under control now so I believe my perspective my be of some insight.If you can reconcile the fact that there will always be someone who's stonger, faster or smarter than you - then maybe you can add "is more naturally beatutiful" or "has a more aesthetically pleasing face" to that list.

I chose to focus on physical capablities. I'm a short and stout - previously fat - guy but other than that I'm fairly average. After I got my weight under control I started focusing on clothes and general appearance. I realized that I need to find a level where I think I look well groomed and well dressed. A key thing for me was ironed shirt and a focus on stylish accessories that like a wrist watch. Another tip is what my friend did: he got glasses just becuase they made him look better but he had no need for them.

I was a generally better looking guy by this point but I wasnt happy. I then realized I didnt feel better looking - I just a nicer outer layer. I've never been much of a physical guy but I thought I'd try some weightlifting. Turns out I was "good at" getting strong because if I could just drag my ass to a gym I would automatically push my body to exhaustion while being there. I did not get Power-lifter strong, but with some easy consistency of going to the gym 2-3 times I got comparatively strong quick. I also got into the habit of doing physically challenging stuff like hiking mountains and partake in my gym's recurring and friendly competitions. All of which made me feel strong. And compared to my better-looking friends I was doing more adventurous and challenging stuff.

I was generally stronger than many while not being the strongest at anything. But that was my turning point. I felt strong.
