GWBBQ posted:It's recommended that you only use cold water for cooking, even if you're heating it, because hot will leach small amounts of lead from pipe solder. In reality, I think the vast majority of people use warm or hot water to start, I know I do. I just start with cold. Takes a little longer to boil but i'd have to wait for the hot water to finally work its way to the faucet so it's a wash either way.

bunnielab posted:Wait, isnt America 120v/20amp? Or is that just commercial stuff? I have metered a ton of outlets for work and most are like 18-19amp. Most outlets in the average American home will be 15A. Some homes may have a few 20A outlets in the bathroom and/or kitchen, and if they have outlets on the outside of the house, those might be 20A as well. But most are just 15. Here's a picture so you can tell a 15A outlet from a 20A.  \And yeah, a lot of commercial applications are typically 20A, IIRC.

I prefer my leftovers cold, and I know I'm weird. Lukewarm maybe. It's a snow day and my plans got derailed after I was dumb enough to drive in it and got stuck (and then the state trooper who came to check on my car did too, whoooops) so I'm going to sit at home in a snuggie and drink wine all afternoon. Bachelorette life.

Grape Soda posted:I prefer my leftovers cold, and I know I'm weird. Lukewarm maybe. Cold leftover pizza Cold leftover pork chops Cold leftover taco meat Anyone who doesn't like either of these is not a true bachelor  e: One of my favorite quick-n-easy meals is just to fry up some shredded pork with frozen wok veggie mix (must include sliced water chestnuts, or no deal!), add some random-rear end spices and drown the whole thing in hot sauce. Usually lasts 2 days on a 1lb pack of pork, and awesome at any temperature. Nastyman has a new favorite as of 22:56 on Feb 4, 2014 |

Enjoy your inevitable food poisoning? There's no shame in using the refrigerator for its given purpose. After all, you should have a designated beer fridge so you don't need to compromise.

I've always left leftovers sitting out. You have to be more careful and make sure it doesn't have fish or milk in it in the summertime but its really not a big deal.

It's even worse than this, 15A is the limit of the outlet. Devices are permitted to draw no more than 80% of the power of the outlet rating. A 15A device is limited to 12A, or 1,440W. I'm envious of 230V countries

Anything that could spoil I just dont make extra of. In Texas AC is a must so place stays 70 degrees. I like to throw a ton of vegetables and either strip steak or strips of chicken in a big rear end skillet with some oil and spices. Eat out of the pan and then just put the lid back on till I am hungry again and eat some more out of it at room temperature. Lasts a day or two and saves me from having to do dishes except for rinsing the pan out every couple days.

Happens on a routine basis to me as well. Have a few things on a list jotted down. Often end up coming out with some form of meat, cheese, and beer combination regardless of the list.

Haha this reminds me, I had the flu the other month and ordered a pizza, and because I was a feverish and responsible citizen I answered the door with everything but my eyes covered. I'm a big guy, so the pizza dude understandably looked ready to pull a gun on me.

A normally not at all "cutesy" friend of mine bought a chipmunk one of those and is currently blowing up FB with pictures of herself in it while all hopped up on painkillers from wisdom teeth removal. I suspect there may be some regret at some point.

I probably consume 4-5 cups (as in 8 oz. per) of strong, black coffee an hour over the course of anywhere between 12-14 hours a day. Some of us have a pretty high tolerance to caffeine.

It's well over the recommended daily allowance, but I've built up a serious tolerance to caffeine over the last two decades or so. It's surprising how little of an effect I feel from a single cup of coffee or an energy drink unless it's the first one of the day.

As a tall man, I'd be happy with the classic red union suit (with buttflap), but I would never be opposed to rocking a dinosaur onesie. On another note, I want to get drunk and steal one of these for a downtown festival, like Mardi Gras. I think I'd have a lot of fun. gently caress the haters. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hb3mFgFV_1c I might have to practice beforehand.

Semi bachelor question, how early is too early to dishwasher / washing machine / vacuum in an apartment? I say 7AM weekdays 9AM weekends, girlfriend says 9AM any day. She also does not get my Bubb Rubb "You're supposed to be cooking breakfast for somebody, it's like an alarm clock" jokes so I may dump her.

My dishwasher has a timer on it, so I can have it start after 9 when I go to wokr in the mornings.

That said, would running the dishwasher/washing machine really wake her up? Get her earplugs.

bunnielab posted:Do electric kettles whistle? Not doing that would be a deal breaker for me. If I'm going to be in another room where I won't be able to hear the click of the switch, I balance a spoon against it so that when it shuts off it flicks the spoon onto the floor and makes a racket. It wouldn't be too tough to expand this into a Rube Goldberg machine that ends with a whistling toy train.
