Message me and let me know what you were wanting to learn about me here and I’ll consider putting it in my bio.
I definitely feel like I’m more of like a dumpling than a woman at this point in my life.
hm, I don’t think so - non-Newtonian fluids are like water + cornstarch: they flow like a liquid unless you apply force, then they harden into a solid.
The tomato paste is just not a liquid, it’s so thick it functions like a solid. So if you spoon some of it into a jar, the paste will just stay where you spooned it, it won’t settle like a liquid would. AFAIK, a non-Newtonian fluid would settle like a liquid when not under force, unlike the tomato paste.
oooo, thank you - I didn’t know this was a thing, but that’s sorta how it feels … so what’s physically happening - the towel is able to absorb the force from the jar better? the harder surface makes the jar bounce off it more, so those rebound forces work against the gravity that settles the tomato paste?
+1 for Lady Butterfly - she’s the best!!
I literally learned to read so I could read Harry Potter books so I didn’t have to wait for bedtime for my dad to read them to me; even though I was a “boy” I badly wanted to be Hermione Granger when I grew up
it’s really heart-breaking that she became so deranged and hateful, a lot of us loved her books growing up
might help to clarify in what ways you’re a picky eater and what kinds of chains you already like
also, why big food chain restaurants? it seems like you’re more likely to have poor experiences at chain restaurants than local ones, I would be seeking out recommended, good quality non-chain restaurants if you want positive experiences.
They’re not the only person who thinks a PT Cruiser is poor taste …
oh, I’m dumb then, oops 😝
I think a Hummer would give me the ick faster; I feel like a PT Cruiser is ugly and poor taste, but I would at least find out if like they inherited the car or someone gifted them the car before nopeing out, whereas a Hummer wouldn’t probably get that level of benefit of the doubt, I would be looking for the quickest opportunity to nope.
I think I would also feel that way about Corvettes and certain other luxury cars. BMW is also a red flag. Lexus is borderline.
But yeah, I’m also not a typical person who actually went on dates or participated in much courting. At some point it was my goal to never have a romantic partner, and I see it as a fluke (even a failure) that someone found me anyway.
no worries - just seems like you’re the kind of person that would care about these things, and thought it was information you’d like to have
I’m a dirty liar
back in the day it felt like authors sometimes had accounts on Goodreads, but I don’t know that this is still true … Bluesky does seem like a good recommendation, it seems like a lot of people on Bluesky are writers.
I also realized if OOP is a man, that sometimes women will judge men on their financial status because the traditional path assumes “the woman” will need to depend on “the man” financially as a stay-at-home mom, and so a desirable man to a traditional, straight woman is usually a wealthy man.
Since I’m a gay woman and I accidentally assumed OOP was also a gay woman, I found it really confusing why she was worried the girl she is going out on a date would judge her for her old but reliable car.
The whole meme makes more sense to me with OOP being a straight man 😅
a 2004 Honda Civic is like a personal green flag for me, it’s actually hard to wrap my head around that being a bad thing
I forgot straight people exist and was confused why a 2004 Honda Civic would be a problem
I didn’t know there was a TV adaptation, but my day is immediately ruined ☹️
+1 for The City & the City
hm, that’s an interesting theory - I do think I’m able to get a sharper impact with the wet rag, there is no slow down before hitting the surface whereas maybe I’m not being as forceful but I’m also slowing down the jar more before hitting the hard surface? I guess that’s not that different than just using less force, right?
