eran_morad, (edited ) in What is your earliest memory?

I was probably 3, i remember walking up to my great grandpa, who was seated, and putting my hands on his knees. My mom asking me if I knew who he was and i was like “yup, that’s grandpa Jim”.

lseif, in What is your earliest memory?

all my memories pre-primary school (elementary school), i am convinced i just made up, as they are too foggy.

I remember walking around in the backyard during a party my parents were having. I couldn’t have been more than 3, since I had no siblings yet. It’s a super vague, and weird memory of basically nothing but one that has stuck with me since as long as I can remember.

Toes, in What is your earliest memory?

Pressing my face against a glass door and feeling how cold it was and seeing the outside world.

yesman, in What are your best air fryer/oven recipes?

My best tip for air fryers is to use them for the second fry of foods that are double fried. Egg Rolls, Karage, Orange chicken, etc, honestly, The double fry method isn’t just for Asian food, it takes anything where crispiness is desirable to the next level.

Do the first low fry as normal, then use the air fryer for the second high-temp fry. You don’t have to worry about overcrowding as much, plus everything will be less greasy. The whole point of the second fry is to remove moisture and the air does this just as well as the grease.

I don’t use an adblocker when I browse in ios because I don’t know how to

Fondots, in What is your earliest memory?

My earliest really solid memory was getting our first dog when I was about 3-4 years old. I remember odd bits and pieces from before then, but that’s probably the earliest thing I can conjur up in any significant detail. Things before that are just kind of brief flashes and glimpses with no real context, glimpses of preschool, Christmas, playing with different toys, etc. but I remember the days leading up to bringing her home very well, my mom finding a classified ad in the newspaper, she was advertised as a chocolate lab (she was white and gold, and maybe there was lab in her mix somewhere but that wouldn’t have been my first guess, didn’t matter once we met her, she meshed right into our family like she’d always been part of it)

Interestingly it’s also my sister’s earliest memory, she would have been about 2, so definitely a very important moment in both of our lives.

CaptPretentious, in What's a food you love, that isn't worth making from scratch?

Lefsa.

Making it solo is a monstrous pain in the butt. It’s so easy to screw up too.

My daughter. Although she has a lot of issues and it has been a very hard road, she has made me a better person and a less angry person. She is definitely by far the best thing that ever happened to me. My biggest fear is outliving her.

My biggest fear is outliving her.

My dad used to say this all the time (he has long since passed). My sister nearly died about twenty years ago and one of the weird memories I have from the period is feeling so sorry for him.

Anyway I totally get it but do try not to obsess on it for what it’s worth.

I don’t obsess on it. Just every so often it comes into my thoughts and makes me very unhappy to think about.

MossyFeathers, in What has been the best thing that has happened to you so far?

I got a steam deck recently. I can’t decide if this is one of the best or one of the worst decisions I’ve ever made. I love it to death and I’ve been playing stuff with retrodeck almost non-stop since I got it, however, I’ve been playing stuff with retrodeck almost non-stop since I got it.

Nippledippers7, in What is your earliest memory?

I was 3 and I was sitting on the floor at my grandparent’s house. My mom and her mom were hugging and crying because my grandpa had recently passed away.

henfredemars, (edited ) in What has been the best thing that has happened to you so far?

Met my partner who shares the same mental disorder, the only person I know who could teach me to cope and become a functional adult when I had almost lost all hope.

morphballganon,

What disorder?

henfredemars,

Autism spectrum issues. I was getting incredibly lonely because I don’t work well with in person conversations.

ctobrien84, in What has been the best thing that has happened to you so far?

Using the trade skills I acquired to pay for a computer science degree, which has secured me the best job I’ve ever had. Going to college later in life was absolutely a game changer.

octobob, in What has been the best thing that has happened to you so far?

Learned a trade that I love as a career (industrial electrician), fell in love with my boyfriend, bought and renovated a home from 1890 together, plan to get married eventually!

jol,

Congrats!

More female electricians please!

My daughter is in her 2nd year, of 5, election school - she’s Union and loving being an electrician.

She just attended the Washington DC female electrician convention.

It’s completely changed her life.

octobob,

Who said anything about me being a woman lol

I’m a gay guy, although it’s not exactly something I bring up around my coworkers. The exception being the shop I worked in for 7 years because those fellas were like family.

That’s cool about your daughter though, the trades are a very straight male dominated field

Shit, sorry, saw you wrote “boyfriend” and thought “female electrician, like my daughter!”. Hey, the trades need more LGBQ+ people too!
