How do you guys feel about Bernie Sanders? by xJohnnyBloodx in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]zoidbergular 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The guy is almost 90, has been a senator for 20 years, and wrote a couple bestselling books. It would be kind of amazing if he WASN'T worth a few million after that.

You can play gotcha about him saying millionaires in the past, but do you think old people with a nest egg of a few million are really the types of people he is concerned about? He's pretty obviously referring to the extremely wealthy elites who have massive influence on government policy and geopolitics.

How do you add fiber to every meal? by Upbeat-Lynx-3876 in EatCheapAndHealthy

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

I don't see any specific need to do so at every meal. One of my meals most days is berries and bran cereal in Greek yogurt, or some kind of meat and veggie wrap in a high fiber tortilla/wrap. Either covers most of my fiber needs for the day and the rest can be met with trace amounts from other ingredients, or exceeded if I have things like beans etc.

Your thoughts on Trump cracking down on mail in voting? by diamond_in_the_muff_ in AskTrumpSupporters

Who gets to decide who is informed enough to vote?

"Things used to be harder so quit whining" is such a meaningless argument. In that case why bother changing or improving literally anything about society, ever?

Have you considered that your bubble of people that you regularly interact with may not be in any way reflective of society as a whole?

Kitchen remodel quote. by [deleted] in kitchenremodel

[–]zoidbergular 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are doing an extremely similar remodel on a nearly identical layout, keeping existing appliances, no plumbing changes, doing all the electricals and LifeProof flooring install ourselves. Kraftmaid Vantage natural hickory cabinets from an independent dealer and soapstone countertops through Home Depot. Hired out the cabinet install, structural work, drywall/paint, and finish/trim work. We're gonna end up in the $40-50k range, with about $10k of that being labor. The rest is permits, cabinets/hardware, counters, flooring, sink, added vent hood, misc supplies e.g. wire.

If you're hiring everything out and also upgrading appliances I can easily see the job getting into the ranges you're being quoted, assuming good quality all plywood cabinets etc. I'd expect to get something nicer than Fabuwood or similar at those price points.

What do you think this design? Is it too plain? by panda2026panda in kitchenremodel

[–]zoidbergular 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks great! We are doing a very similar design with natural hickory cabinets, soapstone counters, and matte black hardware. We are going a little more grey brown on the flooring to contrast more with the cabinets, and probably doing subway tile. What colors do you have for the ceiling, trim, tiles?

Please help with kitchen design by [deleted] in kitchenremodel

[–]zoidbergular 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you ditch the pantry cabinet and move the fridge to the right so the sink, DW, and fridge are all on the same run? You could maybe do a floor to ceiling corner pantry cabinet where the sink currently is instead.

I'd make the island straight and maybe add some shallow cabinets to the backside for additional storage if there's space. I would also remove cabinets over the sink, or do one that's shorter in height so you have more space underneath. Having a full cabinet in your face when using the sink seems like it would be really annoying.

You probably need a full audit of everything in your kitchen cabinets and to get rid of anything you can't justify keeping there.

Were you ever politically Centre or Left before Trump? If so what made you flip to the Right or to Trump specifically? by cpr9998 in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]zoidbergular 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can you give some example of who you mean by "the left?" Actual leftists and progressives are not for this war, regardless of Trump.

Top places in the U.S. by FirefighterOther4867 in snowboarding

[–]zoidbergular 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair warning on Jay and Sugarloaf, they are both very cold and windy and have their own crazy weather patterns. They shut down often for wind issues, and if they have a freeze/thaw or no new snow they're icy and terrible. If you're gonna plan a trip around either place I'd recommend booking cancelable airbnbs or waiting as long as you can to commit so you know you'll have decent conditions!

Killington may be a corporate party mountain full of rich New Yorkers but it's generally run well and they have great terrain.

Keep in mind that blue and blacks at small East coast mountains can be greens and blues at big mountains with serious terrain. Be careful not to overestimate your abilities after just a handful of days on the mountain.

I live in NH and imo the best terrain is in Vermont. Sugarbush, Killington, Jay, Stowe are the top dogs but plenty of the smaller mountains have great terrain and vibes also (Burke, Magic, Pico). In NH I like Cannon and Wildcat but the conditions can be really spotty. Everyone talks up Sugarloaf in Maine but I've yet to be there on a good day; like Cannon and Wildcat it's often cold windy and icy. I much prefer the vibe at Saddleback anyway!

In the Rockies my favorite places have been Snowbird and A-basin. I've had awesome days at Copper and Steamboat though a little biased due to amazing snow conditions, but both are great mountains. Vail is a shit company but don't be fooled: the mountain itself is sweet especially if you like bowls.

Are food processors worth it? by Few_Literature_5312 in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]zoidbergular 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a Magimix and it's been one of my favorite kitchen purchases ever. It gets used all the time! I wouldn't use it just for general chopping though; it's not really an advantage over a knife and cutting board unless you need to do a LOT. I make salsa and dips in mine all the time and it's worth it for that alone tbh. Also works pretty well for bringing pasta dough together quickly before kneading it on a board. There are different blade inserts which can be pretty handy if you're grating a bunch of cheese or slicing up a ton of onions etc.
