Reply to LPT Double Check an In-Person Purchase to see if its on Amazon first for much less money. by StMollyoftheKnives
I actually agree. If people are clear that they are a reseller, sure. But if they are presenting themselves as an artisan, it’s a little frustrating. It’s not that I wouldn’t still buy it, but if I want a good piece, I want something that’s not a resale off Amazon.

Other than "you should absolutely make delicious sauce whenever you have caramelized protein": cleaning cooking utensils is simple and should be easy.
Ideally, don't buy nonstick pans, stick with stainless steel pans and pots. Scoop out soft residue with a kitchen towel and compost, try a hard plastic scrub for somewhat stuck residues but for anything harder, go with a copper wire brush. Copper won't scratch steel but is hard enough to get even the most severely burnt in residue out in minutes.
Lather with a bit of soap last, when the cookware is clean, let sit for a minute and then rinse off.

I once had a woman at a laundromat ask if she could pay me to fold her fitted sheets. I politely declined and taught her instead.
Stick your hands inside the “pockets” that the corner seams form, starting with two adjacent corners. Match up the points, and then flip one corner over onto the other, so that both corners are now over one hand. Set this side down and repeat on the other side.
Then repeat with the two “double stacked” corners, so that all four corners are layered over each other. At that point, you should be able to fold the “side” parts to form a normal rectangle that’s about 1/4 the size of the mattress. Then fold that rectangle normally.

They're going to erase their own jobs. I just don't use delivery apps anymore because of shit like this. I imagine a lot of people have begun to stop using them.

If you're not going to do your job without getting extras then you're probably not emotionally intelligent enough to hold a better paying position. I'd recommend a hard change to your mentality or you're going to be on a long shitty ride.

That's how I do it. No problems so far.

Which is basically what I said. You explained it more clearly, but my way was pithier...

Grated caerot will do the same trick as well. You're basically deglazing the pan using the residual water in the veg you put in. A slug of wine or spirits works better though

I was replying to the comment saying it’s as easy as “stuffing it inside a pillowcase & calling it a day”. Yeah, it seems objectively easy, but not if you struggle with OCD.
I don’t know if I’m making sense?

That's not true. It's just easier for rich people to not care because they can easily afford the consequences.

You tuck them under all around the edges but yes, fitted are much more convenient.

Can you elaborate on this comment? It sounds exactly like OCD to me.

Unless you are rich. Then you can do whatever the hell you want.

Reply to LPT: When picking souvenirs, choose something you can hang on an Xmas tree. this way you're guaranteed to pull that item out once a year, and remember your trip. this also helps with not getting a "cluttered" house. by Independent-Leg6061
I do this, also works w jewelry. Small, travels well, and every time I pull it out to wear it-it is a memory. I am my own tree.

Why even go to school when you have a mentality that will lead to no employers wanting you to work for them?
