Even better when you move in with someone, you have two blenders and still never use them. I’ll do smoothies tomorrow, for sure.

Excuse me while I make my shake for 12:30. I know this meeting is about monkeys and such, but the shake must be done.

It's how meme communities work mate, no need to link to repost. Not everyone saw it the first time. It's all good

This reminds me. I got some good quality Atta (Indian whole grain wheat flour) for making Rotis a few weeks ago. Haven't even opened the packet yet.

Aaaalmost happened to me, unti one I day I thought about putting inside a cup of milk, a banana, 1-2table spoons of greek yogurt and a vanilla icecream protein poweder scoop (from ON if it matters). I made my blender useful again and found a simple and quick breakfast :)

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago

Okay but does seeing the blender after the honeymoon period fill you with guilt about your lack of discipline to stick to something?

This is a mutual experience that many people can relate to but its mechanics is also core Adhd where this scenario is more extrme and frequent. (Possibly even with important life choices and not just hobbies)

Normalize acknowledging the smaller neurodivergent features that exists in most people as it can help them understand major ones. but do keep it distinct from “everyone has a bit of adhd/autism/anxiety” which is tonedeaf

COMPLETELY unrelated, I have about $800 worth of RC equipment to make my own planes and cars, and haven't touched it in over a year.

I want to break it out and make use of it to get my money's worth, but apparently I don't want to want to...

My 3 year old calligraphy set has only been used twice, and not even for the purpose they were purchased.

I've got over 1k in flight sim equipment that I haven't touched in 4 years but tbf i did stick with that hobby for about 10 years

I have a really nice set of whittling knives from the time i was passionately experimenting with a borrowed knife.

Guess how much time i have whittled since acquiring that set?

In my defense apparently i missed out on a free tiny whetstone because i bought on a local farmers market rather the amazon page. From this i have convinced myself i need to master knife sharpening and maintenance skills first so i don't abuse my set.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

oh that reminds me, I need a proper whetstone, the metal rod thingy from tesco's is just not (making it so my knives are properly) cutting it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

A honing rod and whetstone fulfill different functions. You should ideally be using both for knife maintenance.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

dang, what does the rod do? It was sold under the name of "knife sharpener"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

So the fine edge of the blade can warp as you use it. The honing rod helps straighten that back out to improve cutting. The whetstone actually removes bits of steel in order to create a new edge. Honing should be done regularly, but using a whetstone to sharpen the blade is periodic.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

ohhh thank you! yeah my 2 year old knives definitely need a whetstone at this point. I suppose the honing rod can only help you so far
