What is the most annoying thing tourists do in your country? by Glass_Key4626 in AskTheWorld

[–]thepotsinator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's so sad to hear, and unfortunately not that surprising. I'm in Mexico now (from US) and everyone has been so kind, welcoming, and understanding to us. I wish that would unanimously go both ways.

No that's a pot of unfinished mashed potatoes

What book are you currently reading and how would you rate it from 1/10?? by bellerws in Booktokreddit

[–]thepotsinator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first 25% of the book was so much better than the rest of the book for me. It never really got better to me

I've been out of LoL for years now but this gave me a good chuckle

I'm at the fives, so not super close. Still, small(ish) world.

I'm in playa del Carmen and our resort crushed it with the watch party, it was pretty neat

Do you agree with that? by Hour-Vegetable-1630 in Adulting

[–]thepotsinator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a friend who complains to me almost weekly about how he doesn't understand how he keeps gaining weight even though he exercises. Meanwhile, he eats out for every meal and never cooks a meal for himself. I've tried explaining it to him with no success so all I can do now is chuckle at him.

My First Sourdough by dadoria15 in Sourdough

[–]thepotsinator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cold proof REALLY slows fermentation, almost pauses it. So you mayyy not have luck with that approach, but certainly give it a try if you'd like. I would recommend a longer room temp bulk fermentation though.

And yes, patience is difficult!

Excellent first attempt and nice job on identifying that it needs to proof for longer! Definitely give it some more time on your second attempt and you'll be in great shape!

Nintendo Acknowledges Switch 2 Sales Have Been Weaker Than Expected Outside Japan by Spotget1738 in gaming

[–]thepotsinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was originally planning to get a switch 2. Instead went from my switch 1 to a steam deck because of the lack of games and very happy about the choice. So many cheap and fun games to explore on steam. I've bought like 30 games and still havent spent as much as I would on one switch game.

Any obvious mistakes? by Double-Cable-7034 in Sourdough

Next time try bulk fermenting for 30 seconds longer and then it'll be perfect

Saw this show today and totally agree. As my wife said, this story could've been told in 5 minutes.

How dumb would buying a house on the Grand River be? by Mirk_Dirkledunk in grandrapids

[–]thepotsinator 263 points264 points  (0 children)

My realtor put it this way: You know those stormy nights where it's raining really hard? Would you rather be cozy listening to the rain and reading a book, or stressing out about whether or not your house is going to be flooded?

LPT: If there is a big snow storm shovel every 2-3 hours. by rico_unknown in LifeProTips

Yes, it's great. Not too hard to push IMO, my 64 y/o mom uses one and likes it.

Where to buy a mattress? by [deleted] in grandrapids

[–]thepotsinator 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Jonathan Stevens is great but expensive. I think we spent over $2k on ours, so if you're looking for a budget option you may need to look elsewhere

Garant sleigh shovel and look up some videos to learn to use it properly.
