For example, I 3d printed a box over my outlet to protect my cables from my bed pushing against it. In addition, my cables never fall to the floor so they’re much easier to grab.
My cleaner just moves stuff to the side, cleans that area and slides them back. So at most it’s like a few inches from where it was before or in the same general area. We have a really sweet lady come once a month and it’s so nice to not worry about doing deep cleans. I do basic cleaning in between if stuff gets really dirty.
Dear lemmy, someone very close to my heart is starting to fall into conspiracy theories. It’s heartbreaking. Among other things, he has now told me that soy beans are not supposed to be consumed by human beings and is convinced that despite the literal centuries of human soy bean cultivation and consumption, we shouldn’t eat...
Alcoholic drinks, for a good part of history, were safer to drink than water because its production includes a boiling step that kills bacteria. We know now that you have to boil or treat water before drinking but for most of history alcohol was safer.
I think the problem is that no one can agree on what makes the world shitty. Some people think the rich should be taxed, some people think other people shouldn’t have equal rights. And then other people are purposely using the disagreement to get what they want. It’s a mess with no clear fix in sight.
I think he means that when most people genuinely smile, the muscles around their eyes also pull up. However it looks like Mr. Beast is just pulling his lips into a smile and not his full face. This makes it feel like the smile isn’t genuine.
I think a normal measuring tape could work. I went to a place and they measured my chest above/below my breasts and then across the center and lower part of my breasts. The issue is the cost for premium bras are often out of the price range for most people.
Barbara is a relatively common name in the US. I’ve known at least 5 across various parts of the US and I have definitely met more. Most of them are in their 40s-60s so it seems to have died out in popularity. Although none of them have ever gone by “Barbie” as a nickname. All went by “Barb”. Unfortunately the doll has ruined that nickname for most.
I accidentally overdosed on acetaminophen after a surgery once. Doctor forgot to tell me (or I was still high when he told me) he gave me acetaminophen during/after the surgery. I thought I still could take up to 4g that day. A few hours after the surgery, the pain started to kick in so I took some acetaminophen. Ended up vomiting uncontrollably.
How to cut veggies properly. This could be on a per recipe basis like “in this recipe we will dice onions, here’s how”. I’ve been cooking for years but sometimes I get tripped up on what’s best for the veggies in that specific recipe and I just guess.
When to add things to the pan and how long to cook/what temp before adding more stuff. I feel like other cooking shows don’t explain that some things need to cook longer than others.
Explain mixing things to get the right flavor, for example this is salty so we add sweet/acidic. I feel like this is probably super important and why my food always tastes off.
I have health issues with my intestines and am super sensitive to grease. Too much oil/butter and I’ll be sick. So I personally would like to know ways to cook with less oil/butter but still taste good. Or maybe ways to use the oil in food already (I’m thinking ground beef/bacon) so you don’t add more (I have no idea if this is possible just an idea in case it is).
Yes, becuse in my family, all the older family members make him real for the younger kids. We actively work together to make Christmas a magical time by telling stories and staying up late to put out presents. I know that Santa is not a real person but I believe I can keep his “spirit alive” by giving heartfelt presents and spending quality time with my family.
I personally am atheist but I will admit that many religions have good teachings. I don’t believe in the gods from those religions but I can follow the guidelines to living a good life.
Yea this is me. I’m really good at packing spaces. I’ve had to repack people’s cars to get everything to fit for long trips or moves. It’s like I can see how to make the pieces fit together to maximize space.
My mom told my brother he’s her favorite son (he’s her only son) and I’m her second favorite daughter (I’m her only daughter). We were confused and my mom said we have a secret older sister. We’re pretty sure she is joking but what if???
For summer months I think Hawaiian shirts or other patterned shirts are cute. You can pair them with khaki, navy, or jean shorts for a cute look that is still cool.
My partner also doesn’t like floral prints but recently bought some other “summer patterns” like fish and a pink/purple plaid. There are other options out there.
The lack of tea lovers in the US is definitely the issue. Most grocery stores have disgusting low quality tea so most Americans don’t like tea. I’ve been sending family high quality tea for years now and they love it but can’t find anything remotely close locally.
So I found your comment about dreadlocks being Nordic interesting and looked it up. Wikipedia claims that oldest depictions of dreadlocks date to the Minoan Civilization on Crete. They are also found in Asia and the Americas which could indicate they are a much older (or common) hairstyle. All very interesting!
Half of the old testament just feels like health codes. This is make sure to not poop where you live. Other stuff is don’t eat foods that will make you sick.
Something stunning when travelling to the US is the number of cities called some something Ville, Nashville, Jacksonville and all the small ville you’ll see when going at a random place on google maps, let alone a state called “vert mont” which can’t sounds more french....
I think someone said it above but that’s probably because there were less French immigrants in the 19th century compared to Italian, German, and Irish. Italy and Ireland had famines and Germany had a revolution in the 19th century which led to lots of immigrants to the US. Many (maybe most) French immigrants were much earlier which may have led to decendents feeling fully American versus calling upon a more recent immigrant identity.
Anecdotally, I know a guy of French descent whose family had settled an area (forget where now) before the US existed. They chose to join the US (voted for their state to join the union) and felt fully American. It’s possible that many more older French settlers felt the same.

I watched this show as a kid when it originally aired and this quote stuck with me. It’s reminded me to make the best of the situation I’m currently in and enjoy the good things around me.
