  • Understandable fear of anger

    Jump

  • I feel you, friend. Similar situation here, possibly reversed. If I'm grumpy, or mad, or just having a rough day, I have to be exceptionally careful in bringing that to my partner. They deal with a lot, so when I add anything to that pile, it often explodes. So the pattern is me saying 'Here's something I am upset about. Please can I have five minutes of your time to listen to me.', then two days of me comforting my partner because they somehow contributed to this and they hate themselves for it.

  • Whats your favorite bad joke?

    Jump

  • God damnit, three replies in this thread, and one of them is someone who beat me to the one I was going to say! Well played.

    My second favourite, then-

    Do you know the heading cause of dry skin?

    Towels.

  • What are your favorite life-hacks/pro-tips for working/job-searching?

    Jump

  • If you're looking for a job, trying to get into the daily grind, then getting a job should be your daily grind. If you are looking to get an 8hr a day job, 8 hours of your day should be spent tweaking your resume for the next application, hunting for jobs, doing short courses, etc.

  • Are you enjoying the drive?

    Jump

  • She did.

    And when Trump visited, on the first day she wore a brooch gifted to her by the Obamas, on the second one given to her by a Canadian, on the third the brooch that she hadn't worn since her father's funeral.

    I'm not a fan of the monarchy, but in her own way she was badass.

  • Have you ever had a shave in a barber shop or spa?

    Jump

  • You forgot the bit where they hold up a second mirror and you nod awkwardly, mumbling something that's not quite 'yep, that's the back of my head, yep, I agree, you have cut my hair, thank you for showing me the proof'

  • What are some useful things to create with a typical 3D printer?

    Jump

  • Thingiverse is great, but the real benefit of a 3d printer for me is the super-custom stuff. The gap between my kitchen sink and wall is pretty small, so I designed and printed a sponge caddy that sits in there perfectly, and drains into the sink. My sunnies didn't fit into the holder in my car, so I designed and printed a little clip with a holder on it that fits in really nicely.

  • YSK: House flies always launch backwards, no exceptions. Creep behind them and they'll jump into your crushing hand.

    Jump

  • You could also just shoo them outside. I'd prefer to not have fly guts all over my hands, and I don't really have the need to kill every fly I see.

  • Which is better for mechanical pencil 2B or HB

    Jump

  • Only Anish Kapoor is allowed to use 8B.

  • What is the sexiest accent?

    Jump

  • Oi fark orf ya caaant, no ones farking getting off on dis shit ay.

  • What wisdom from someone else has stuck with you?

    Jump

  • I work in an environment that can have some tight timeline, high stress moments. People often deal with this with a kind of controlled panic- "Hi. This thing is not working." "Fuck, this is not working, quick, try that thing! Argh! Not working either! Oh no, shits fucked. Shit... Ok, try the other thing! Fuck, call Gary, they might know what to do!"

    Then I worked with a person who had this totally different approach. When shit hit the fan, they just super calmly looked around, and said "That's a bit boring." Just that phrase shifted my whole perspective on the industry. Just treat the problem as a minor annoyance, and you'll see that it's rarely worth getting panicked about.

    The other thing they taught me- no matter how urgent it is, never run. Running makes it look like we fucked up. And we don't fuck up, we just have the next thing that needs to be fixed.

  • What words are you already tired of seeing repeated almost on a constant basis?

    Jump

  • Since COVID, the use of that word has got unprecedented levels.

  • Reddit files lawsuit against Australia after site is banned for anyone under 16

    Jump

  • The weird part is the government are trying to get the children to stay away, rather than track down the pedophiles.

  • What is something you can see, hear, smell, etc., that others can't?

    Jump

  • I was entirely confused for a moment- I think you might be getting an echocardiogram, rather than an electrocardiogram. If you could hear an electrocardiogram, there would be something seriously wrong with their machine- It's meant to be a passive electrical measurement. Echo on the other hand is exactly what you described, an ultrasound of the heart.

    I was actually thinking you might have a strong interoception, which is when people have an awareness of their own heartbeat signals- super rare but super cool.

  • I need a savoury, summery drink as an alternative to beer

    Jump

  • Tonic and lime. Ginger beer. (Might have to try a few before finding one that's not too sweet) Non alc apple cider, same as above for sweetness.

  • Ideas for very simple improvements to instant noodles?

    Jump

  • Try putting the egg in later, so it's still soft after cooking.

    You can buy crispy onion pretty cheaply, put it on at the end to give it a little texture.

    Try it soupy, try it dry. Try draining it and adding the seasoning to the dry noodles.

    Big spoonful of peanut butter / gochujang / miso / langaoma

    Frozen veggies.

    Mince meat, shredded chicken,

    There's also heaps of different brands, give em a whirl.

  • TIL In 1968 a man in Arizona bought the London Bridge and had it shipped to the US

    Jump

  • I find another part of this story pretty wild- The US 'rebuild' was done over dry land, then a canal was dug underneath.

  • Software Development is like a Brazilian soap opera

    Jump

  • In my world, very much not software development, the two roles would essentially be the same thing. What's the difference for you?

  • Removed

    Can a Smart TV piggy back the internet of a HDMI device?

    Jump

  • Telstra in Australia were at one stage providing routers to homes with a hidden SSID for their premium 'public' wifi.

    I think it was solidly isolated from the home wifi, and did not eat into the homes speed quota, but still...

  • She's out of town and I'm cleaning her entire collection as a surprise

    Jump

  • Yeah, this is the first step in properly refurbishing cast iron.
