Sterile_Technique, to asklemmy in Does anyone else resent the links to Reddit?

Yea if you want to steal something from Reddit, copy the content and paste it here. Don’t just post a link and direct traffic back to that shithole.

Sterile_Technique, to asklemmy in What's the most comfortable watch you would recommend?
@Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world avatar

Most comfortable watch I’ve had was a cheap $5 Casio. The comfort came in the form of the mental game of not giving a damn any time I whacked or scuffed it on something.

Wore a ‘nice’ watch (gift, no idea how much it cost) for a bit, and had a mini-heart-attack every time it faced any potential damage.

Same with sunglasses. Cheap shit = peace of mind.

@Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world avatar

Oh, I’m sure the official recipe has a whole laboratory worth of goodies in it - but the one you can make in your own kitchen: shortening to volume, powdered sugar to taste/texture.

Fwiw, the recipe for the white stuff in an Oreo is just shortening and powdered sugar.

Make some of that, and a batch of chocolate cookies, and live your best life.

And if you’re into videogames, buy Grounded - HEAVILY inspired by Honey I Shrunk the Kids, and also just an overall really well made and fun game.

@Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world avatar

Solids vs liquids - could you elaborate on that? Soap seems like an obvious example, and a couple specific food items like broth vs powder… but that’s all I can think of off the top of my head.

I’ve saved literally a couple thousand+ dollars and a shit load of time by cutting my own hair.

Buzzed is easy mode if you’ve got the head for it (definitely NOT a good look for everyone, so proceed with caution).

Actual styles are doable by feel / with a double mirror setup, but that ofc comes with a learning curve, and it WILL look janky until you get a feel for it.

I spent $30 on an electric clipper over 15 years ago - paid for three haircuts since then, which were all mandatory purchases in basic training. Easily the best $30 I’ve ever spent.

Also, super short hair takes like two drops of shampoo per shower, so if you go the buzzed route, you’ll save a lot on hair products too.

Access to their gas pump alone will cover the cost of the membership if you drive.

pharmaceuticals are probably the most notable point of savings in-store.

They also sell a lot of expensive shit, so you definitely need to be selective.

Goya. It’s easy to forget amidst the tsunami of far more severe bullshit between 2016 and 2020, but when Trump abused his authority to hawk a fucking bean advertisement in the oval office instead of leading the country during a pandemic… yeah, decided I’d never buy a Goya product again, ever.

Sterile_Technique, (edited ) to memes in Ramen
@Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world avatar

Indomie. This stuff cooks up more like a lo mein than the normal instant ramen (noodles floating in broth), but if you want to try something different:

www.amazon.com/…/B000VSDCH4

Barbeque Chicken is the good one (it’s like Korean BBQ)

Comes with 3 separate sauce packs, dry seasoning, and fried onion - boil the noodles, strain all the water out, mix all the packets together except the onion, then add them to the noodles. Mix the onion in right before serving (it’ll get squishy otherwise).

Add meat/veggies/egg if you’re feeling fancy.

By far the best instant ramen I’ve found.

Very strong emphasis on the “unless you’re the source of the bottleneck and camping in the fast lane, in which case GTFO” part of my post!

I just drop a mph every couple seconds until they fuck off. Don’t break check, as that’s super dangerous for you and everyone around you; don’t change lanes to accommodate them (unless you’re the source of the bottleneck and camping in the fast lane, in which case GTFO), since transitions are when accidents tend to happen; but you can absolutely slowly annoy a tailgater until they leave your bubble.

We live in 4D though. The three spacial dimensions (length, width, depth) and time.

That’s why the term “4D chess!” is so comical. 4D chess is just a normal game of chess lol.
