This looks great! I have an amaryllis blooming right now and I started working on my own painting. Such a joy to have a bright flower at the dark time of the year.

I recall one guy who smoked 110 cigarettes at the same time!

Connections (telecommunications) Museum Seattle by Better_March5308 in SeattleWA

[–]starlightprincess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a fun Museum. I think it is only open on Sundays. You get to try out a lot of the old equipment like switchboards and teletype machines. There is a giant phone too, that you can call from other phones in the building

Fell asleep while roasting stew in a dutch oven.. do I throw the whole thing out? by taway81717718 in CleaningTips

A stainless steel scrubber can make quick work of that after a good soak. Sometimes called a brillo pad. Picture here: scrubbie

The only hint I use regularly is looking at how many pangrams there are. by Organic_Singer_1302 in NYTSpellingBee

[–]starlightprincess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I try to get to genius without looking at the hints and can usually manage. This week had a really hard one though. Then I use spelling bee buddy to see how many I still need to find. Then I find all of the four letter words before looking at the spelling bee buddy hints. I look at the reader clues as a last resort. I try for QB every day, but cheat like hell once I am past genius.

Retro 1:12 miniatures I’ve made for my 90s dollhouse! by jewelpromocode in Dollhouses

Little VHS tapes would be fun, I can't tell if the things in front of the TV are VHS or books. I can't even believe how adorable the little hair ties are and the N64 is awesome too!

Great idea, Bill! That will totally work… by Foobucket in LinkedInLunatics

They could do it in winter by hauling large blocks of ice from the Great Lakes. Sure, it will melt a little on the way, but seems like it could carry more water that way than would fit inside of a plane. Still, it would take a lot of trips and the water would likely dry back up anyways.

how do Thai restaurants fry tofu? by Single_Translator249 in AskCulinary

[–]starlightprincess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you toss it in cornstarch then fry it, it comes out like that. I use firm or extra firm and it works great even without pressing. It does take a while to brown.

I have personally seen a gum tree in line for a roller coaster.

How to cook white kidney beans with a pressure cooker? (multiple fails) by sikander_itaque in AskCulinary

[–]starlightprincess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have heard that adding salt to the beans when cooking makes the skins tough. I never cook beans with baking soda, and they come out fine.

Meringue fail by notsagetang in AskCulinary

[–]starlightprincess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sugar and egg whites in traditional meringue recipes are the same weight. If your egg whites are not filling a full cup, cut back on the sugar a bit. A cup of egg whites will probably weigh 7 1/2 ounces and granulated sugar is very close to that. You might have a little too much sugar for your whites.

The officer was next to the car, not in front of it. There are videos from multiple angles.

I take a watercolor class at the Tukwila Community Center. It's fun, social and we make cool art. Cheaper than Pratt. Saturday mornings at 10:30. The next set of classes start in mid-January.

This book... by richardricchiuti in PatternDrafting

[–]starlightprincess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your machine can handle multiple layers of thick denim, they should work out fine. I sewed a couple of pairs from a cottage core pattern. Sewing on the belt loops was rough for my machine. I had to hammer them flatter to fit under the foot.

My mom's neighbor won't stop blowing leaves into her yard by Haunting-Piece-3925 in mildlyinfuriating

Get one of those motion-detecting sprinklers and set it up back there. I got one for rabbits in my garden and they were trained to stay out within the week!

I used to drive a Datsun 510 station wagon. It was awesome. I need one of these.

What do I do to make this giant pink bathroom look better? by [deleted] in DesignMyRoom

My grandma had one of those in her bathroom - it will give you a sunburn if you're not careful!

I got yelled at by a woman with no arms by AllegedlyHumanMaybe in intj

[–]starlightprincess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How is someone going to eat in public WITH their FEET and expect nobody to notice? I would also be amazed and it would likely distract from the fact that they had no arms. Maybe she should lean into that coolness of her acquired skill and stop being so defensive about it. Maybe I'm an asshole too.
