  • If it helps, I can't stop growing a thick bushy beard, but it gets itchy, and the individual hairs are so coarse it's like steel wool. Rasps the skin off my lips if I'm a day late in trimming.

    And now in my early 40s it's growing out my nose and ears too (and I can see the first signs of those crazy eyebrow beards old men get). Sometimes a loose nose hair gets up between by nose and my throat, and it's like flossing your sinuses with a cheese wire.

  • The number of e-bikes with USB-C charging has now doubled – to two

    Jump

  • So is it generally more expensive brand name ones do stick to the spec, or not as simple as that? I've been often using my 65W laptop supply to charge my phone, earbuds, whatever. But it's not OEM, so now I'm wondering...

  • The number of e-bikes with USB-C charging has now doubled – to two

    Jump

  • Partial discharge? Is it something active about usb that lets the thing being charged dictate the power? Like they're in digital communication via usb? Or just physics?

  • Pasta

  • I mean I'm gonna assume that radiators are that shape because it's optimised for having the most surface area for the least structural material and least space taken up...

  • Ooh #firstworldproblems, it's been a while!

  • Soup

    Jump

  • I think if you add up your time frying stuff in a pan every meal compared to making a big pot of soup that's like 8 or 10 portions, you'll see the 'break even' point for time spent cooking happens quite soon. But I guess if the main thing you like to eat is crispy meat and you never really bother with vegetables much, then yeah, soup might not be for you, fair play.

  • Just where you get that itch, that's the exact point.

  • What kind of meat do you like?

    I would say soup can be one of the easiest if you let it be: literally just throwing shit in a pot with some water and let it cook as long as you want. Can't accidentally burn it very easily (unless you use lentils), don't have to chop things a certain dose/ shape, generally tastes decent with a bit of seasoning...

    I mean I know you can go all out and make fancy soup with many stages and lots of work, but it doesn't have to be like that... whatever 2/3 types of veg is cheap and available, some beans or lentils, stock cube + season to taste, boom.

  • What is a good substitute for tomato?

    Jump

  • Raw tomato is has the slight crunchy sensation and fresh mouthfeel of many raw fruits/veggies, and the flavours are mostly acidic, sweet and unami. I don't know what else might set off your sensitivity issues, but I think some options might be pickles, or fresh cucumber slices dressed with nice vinegar. Or use a combination, like iceberg lettuce for crunch and some relish or chutney for flavour.

  • I always wondered why hotel rooms had bibles

    Jump

  • I think I've seen Gideon bibles in UK and Australian hotel rooms. They're just there in the drawer, in case you want to read it. Not very in your face. Bit like the iron or the hairdryer.

  • Does anyone have a stove with a mechanism, or function, or feature, or do you have a strategy for some sort of timed shut-off.

    Jump

  • Maybe you could find an old coin electric meter, wire that up to your stove/ oven loop, and then just put in the right amount of money for the cooking time you want.

  • Swings and roundabouts

    Jump

  • Bully for you.

    I was reacting to a comment where I interpreted that the person felt constrained by their adhd to not own very many items of outerwear.

    I wasn't trying to give universal fashion advice.

  • Swings and roundabouts

    Jump

  • Keeping it simple is a valid strategy, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Also more sustainable.

  • EVIL!!!

    Jump

  • I dunno, I think the culture wars have done a special thing where people who were part of the same subculture years ago, or musicians i liked or whatever, but would never really have thought about their politics much, now you can find yourselves on opposite sides of the great dividing line.

    Reply to the deleted post about being a coward or not.

    Jump

  • OP, for context:

    Are you brave or are you a coward?

    Do you get pushed around or are you willing to defend those getting pushed if you know it's wrong?

    I ask because so many people are soft but not gentle. They demand peace but aren't peaceful. I find them weak. So I want to know. Be honest.

    UPDATE: I find it utterly pathetic that people can't take real criticism. Like they are triggered over anything that needs to be said.

  • What are some loanwords (originated in another language and usually retains original spelling in equivalent english) for concepts, things, or experiences that English doesnt necessarily have yet?

    Jump

  • No, just literally there's only really room up there for like 5 or 6, then you always get that unmistakable feeling... Don't worry, you'll definitely recognise it when you get there, so you can safely just keep going until then.

  • Ferns were such a big deal in victorian Britain (and British culture/ empire), it was like their pokemon.
