I’ve been annoyed by people who say “teach you to do x” when they mean “teach you how to do x”; but I acknowledge that’s a me problem.
VENDOR: I’ll teach you to hit me!
CHICOLINI: You no gotta teach me, I know how! [hits him]
Hummus, with no lemon juice? Inconceivable!
What are you seeing as the second ingredient in that recipe?
Edit: oh, you were just looking at the little preview window. Bonus points: cooked.wiki edits that preview window away! Just the recipe, complete with lemon juice!
“en pointe” Ballet taught to children. I was once in the same small apt building with a Prima Ballerina- she retired and only taught- her feet were a nightmare.
Sure, many legit ballet schools say they wont go there until 13, but I think it should be 18.
I see it now.
There is a browser extension (works on Chrome & variants) which does the hard
work for you. Then you just go to a recipe page and click on the extension’s icon.
Get it here.
Park in front of their house. If they complain, offer to swap spots.
I mostly pull up recipes on my iPhone, which does not allow chrome extensions. It sounds like there is another browser that contains a workaround, but at that point, it sounds like more trouble than just using the website I listed above.
This changed my life, too, back when someone, probably you, recommended it here - maybe last year? Thanks!
I get so annoyed by folks that have aggressive motion-activated security lights. I’m walking down a neighborhood street, ON THE PUBLIC SIDEWALK, and when I pass their house I get a face full of high-power floodlights without warning. I also hate people who face their warehouse-rated floodlights out into the street and sidewalk. There’s only a few like this in my area, but they’re enough to really bug me.
Another example was at a new home in a neighborhood with no sidewalks so I was walking in the street. It was during the day, but the annoying thing was that the house had security cameras and as I walked by, there was a little whistle/tweeting sound which caused me to look up and towards the camera. I realized what was happening after that so after that I ignored all the whistles. I had to go back past the house because it is located at the entrance to a cul-de-sac. I was feeling annoyed at the overly aggressive cameras and feeling subversive. So pulled my hat low and looked at the ground in front of me. And sure enough, just as I was passing his house, still in the street, he just happens to come sort of rushing out with his dogs acting like he’s just taking them for a walk. I kept walking and he went back inside without even letting the dogs pee. So he clearly was trying to check who was going past in the public right-of-way. An old guy with nothing better to do than be overly aggressive about his “security.” I wish he lived closer so that I could walk past his place more often. But it’s not an area I go that often.
I am very ditto on the second. I wrote a note to one such- nothing was done, so I called the Police NON-emergency number. It took a couple weeks, but the light was redirected.
Drivers who don’t dip their headlights for pedestrians.
Actually, this one is important, so maybe doesn’t fit in this thread.
Leaf disposal in the center of one of the largest biomasses of hardwood (Georgia, USA. Funny how the Southern apologists never mention how easily it was to rebuild Atlanta after Sherman moved on).
The burn ban ends with September, but many of us Northern transplants didn’t grow up burning leaves and find it somehow wrong. In my case, I’m out there performing yard work with what little lung tissue Covid spared me while the neighbors are filling the sky with soot.
I’m in New England. Because it’s been incredibly dry this fall (except the last 48 hours) we have had outdoor burning bans. Despite there being numerous woodland fires, my neighbors were defiantly burning leaves, and daring the fire and police department to do anything about it on Facebook.
Of course these are the biggest supporters of our local first responder “heroes” as well.
Dip my headlights?? Do you mean take them off high beam?
Yes, that’s what that means
But I don’t drive with my high beams at all, basically. Nothing to dip. I thought he meant turning them off or something.
Yeah, same here, just on dark rural roads with no cars or anyone. I dont see people driving around with their high beams on anymore. Nor have I heard it as 'dip your headlights".
Count me among those who found this confusing. In fact, thrice confusing, because
- I’ve never heard the word “dip” used in this context
- I, like others, don’t commonly drive with high beams on except on dark rural roads
- I’ve never encountered advice to dim one’s headlights for the benefit of pedestrians, only other drivers, and I’m wondering what “dipping” headlights has to do with pedestrians (and why they’re out walking on those dark, rural roads)
