MarcusSA posted:It is a bit weird she’s asking him to gently caress off every Thursday(or whatever)and figure something out to do. He didn't say three bedroom, he said three rooms - I think that means they're in Europe? I'm not well versed in apartment/house terminology outside of the US but it doesn't mean the same as three bedrooms. And honestly, I can kind of understand it... I miss having our 2br apartment to myself sometimes when my husband would work late or do something on his own. I'm a big introvert and am anxious from the lack of alone time at home.

Smirking_Serpent posted:WIBTA if I take my daughter to get the HPV vaccine, behind her dad's back? This part is a huge yikes: Even though he's lived with me and the kids their whole life, (and he has been home nearly 24/7 that whole time,) he hasn't been an involved parent. He spends his days & nights either asleep, or on his phone. Which means, I've had to play the role of both mom and dad to them. So in many ways, I do feel like they are MY kids, rather than OUR kids. Which is the only reason why I'd even consider getting her vaccinated behind his back. But even so, it still feels wrong for some reason.

Kenshin posted:Yeah my landlord has never inspected my apartment, I've lived in the building I'm in for about 3 years now. In fact, I can't remember any apartment I've ever had an apartment inspection in here in the Seattle area. Huh, I've lived in my building in Seattle for almost a decade and we have inspections/entry at least twice a year. Once to check the smoke alarms and once to vacuum the dryer ducts. They've seemed reasonable.  Could just be a building management thing.

Yes I am also insufferable for knowing this, but if I offered someone a beverage and they asked for water, I wouldn't correct them or make it a thing, even to be cute. I've worked in the beverage industry for years (including at a water company), I've always considered water a beverage if it's bottled.

Gnoman posted:There are precisely three food coloring agents more restricted in the EU than in the US - two yellow dyes and red 40. These require a warning label for possible hyperactivity in the EU but not the US. There are no artificial flavorings that are, on a quick search. Food scientist/product developer here, it's hard to compare flavor designations because the regulations around how flavors are termed "natural" and "artificial" are complicated and pretty different between the US and the EU. In the US though, artificial flavors are perfectly safe and are the same chemicals that natural flavors are (everything is a chemical). Often they taste better, too, because it can be difficult to extract the precise flavor note from the named source. Flavors are made by extracting aromatic chemicals, then recombining them to make the flavor profile that you want.

Not to keep the food derail going too long but: There's no evidence that red #40 can cause anaphylactic reactions - could have been an intolerance or just an overreactive parent. There's a lot of those. Bruceski posted:Just out of curiosity, how does this deal with allergens? If you use "artificial" flavors to mimic a strawberry, is that information available to people allergic to strawberries? I honestly don't know if the products used would actually be an allergy risk, but flavor alone's likely to trigger an aversion reaction that's best avoided. In the US only the "big 8" allergens are required to be specifically called out, so I'd recommend anyone with a non-big-8 allergy with concerns like that to reach out to the manufacturer. We keep that information on file or can get it from our suppliers pretty readily. Flavors are very unlikely to have any of the allergenic material, though. Motronic posted:Cooks Illustrated, the "mayo is too spicy" midwestern magazine that started the most bland cooking show ever, Americas Test Kitchen. They take a methodical, somewhat scientific approach, and blind tasting is much more reliable than unblinded - humans have an incredible amount of bias. Cook's Illustrated themselves are from the east coast (they do have a "midwestern magazine"/Taste of Home spinoff), but they're generally relatively trustworthy from my perspective. Also, when exposed to heat, the complexity of natural vanilla extract is lost due to how volatile the aromatics are.

They're the rear end in a top hat, but it's very easy to spend $200 on Christmas dinner. We have a quarantine bubble with our friends; the locally raised, trimmed and prepped 3lb beef tenderloin alone was $140. Potatoes, brussels, wine, dessert, etc meant about $300 for the four of us. But the meal is our gift to them as well. My mom took money from me when I was growing up and promised to repay me, which never happened.

Normally I buy a 6 lb prime beef tenderloin from Costco and it runs us over $150. Wanted to support a local butcher this year. Very much  absolutely.Edit: oh and I work in the food industry. I completely understand that "local meat" is a marketing thing - I was supporting a local butcher vs Costco. And I'm mostly vegetarian and this is a once a year treat so having someone do the prepping and trimming for me is worth it.

They're so goddamn concerned with SINNING BOOBS but God forbid they give you a shirt that hides them. And of course they put little girls in skirts, knowing drat well that if they play, panties might be flashed. Bonus is, I went to Catholic school with Ron DeSantis and his sister. So the kind of school that spit him out is what that was. Thankfully my mom did pull me out early since I was being bullied and put me into the much better Florida public school system (I'm not joking, it was much better than the Catholic school).
