The Rehearsal was the first time I’ve ever seen anything made by Nathan Fielder. I thought he was genuinely like an autistic guy who HBO gave money to who genuinely wanted to help people “rehearse” life scenarios. I know, I’m an idiot.

I’m now watching Nathan for You. I see now with “poop flavored” frozen yogurt it’s all just a bit. Which is funny, just didn’t know it was the same for the rehearsal

So my question is, did he genuinely feel a connection to that one kid in the finale of s1? Has he spoken publicly about regretting a decision to use kids (outside of s2 where he talked about not using autistic kids in the airport)? Did he really care about pilot communication in the cockpit? Are there any speaking’s (talk shows/podcasts) he’s given where he’s not really in character?

Edit: I don’t want me assuming he’s autistic to be a bad thing. Just that’s the vibe he gave off. Like super detail oriented. Lacking a lot of eye contact, not picking up on certain social cues

Usually by cherry tomatoes and they go bad within the week. Nobody else eats them. I bought on the vine cherry tomatoes and they lasted like 6 weeks. Is that the norm? They were so fresh and tasteful.

Had issues with my ecobee just straight up being off that was resolved after “unplugging” and plugging in

Got me thinking about how many people have “dumb” thermostats for decades.

For certain things that aren’t consumables like lights (mainly shades, temp sensors, cameras, ) how long do you expect it to last?

Edit: people are referring to app support. I more meant like if your smart plug stopped working after 10 years would you accept it or think like “there’s houses that are 100 years old and their outlets work just fine”

I don’t think the solution exists, but figured I’d ask.

I have 110 automations. For example any time a door opens the HomePod downstairs plays the “song” like “X door opened”. So during the day, if I’m on the couch, I’ll hear “Front door opened”. The problem is sometimes my son falls asleep on the couch, so it now wakes up and announces each door I open.

Another example, in my son’s room an automation gently turns on the lights and has an alarm go off at 7:30 on school days. On snow days/sick days I have to manually go in and shut that off, wish I could just execute.

My son (now 9) has been “cooking” since he was 4 at least. Judge me if you want, I don’t care. At 4 he could only do basic stuff. Grilled cheese, scrambled eggs, anything oven (bagel bites, pizza rolls, etc. just put it in and set a timer).

Now he has a very well versed palette and is wanting to make his own dishes for himself (shepherds pie, garlic parm crusted steak/pork chop, chicken cutlet) He can do some things very well. Like know how much to season steak, check for tenderness (with and without a probe).

The biggest issue is his knife skills are not good. I’m not trained, but he has flimsy wrists when chopping potatoes, onions, garlic, etc etc.

Pretty much is there anything I can say to him to get it click. Our knives are great. Neither chefs knife nor santoku seem to fit him. Is there any trick (golf: keep your head down. Ski: never lean back/superman the whole time. Tech: reboot first) that can help him or is it really just something a professional needs to teach?

Son used to always say yes to everything. At 2 he loved sushi. He tried a bite and fell in love. He also tried blue cheese stuffed olives and almost threw up. He fell in love with roller coasters and water parks and golf and skiing at like 4.

But now he’s just so scared. He doesn’t try new foods. Even foods he has had before that we know he loves (like have a bite of my cheesesteak) is now met with “ehhhh im okay”. Going outside for anything is now met with “theres bees!” (He was stung one time when he was 18 mo). Hes now even scared to ride his brand new bike, that he paid half for, because he doesnt want to flip over the handle bars. He’s now scared of spice because it could be too hot (he literally used to chug hot sauce if he could).

The big thing is any “go play outside” is met with “well there could be bats, snakes, ticks, bees”. Any “let’s go on this amusement park ride” is met with “it could break and we all die”.

Idk if it’s stupid YouTube influencers, or just normal. And a lot of the times we kinda just reiterate to just do it or don’t have fun.

TL;DR Son used to try and do everything. Had good and bad experiences. Now is scared of anything new. Scared of things he used to love. Any words of encouragement for him/parenting techniques?

When someone says something like “what do you think Jerry’s jacket cost?” And the results are all “it costs what it costs” or “YOU PAID $500”. It’s just lame. You’re all hacks. If someone says “you kept driving the bus?!” And you reply “I’m Batman”. Whatever it’s a joke.

But it’s annoying when people, who aren’t from this country, or demographic ask “what would it really cost for Jerry’s apartment” or “was street parking really that bad?”

And I expect all these responses to be “this guy, is not my kinda guy” or “I’m not gonna dumb it down”. Sometimes that’s funny. But this sub is just a circle of the same jokes.

I buy a wedge of blue cheese and plan to eat it within 2 weeks. Upon opening it, it’s delicious. I wrap it in parchment paper, then place in an airtight container. By the end of the first week it’s almost entirely mold inside wet parchment paper.

Should I just put it in ziploc and no parchment paper? How would it be if i vacuum sealed it? Can i freeze it and not notice diminishing texture (mainly use the cheese to make blue cheese dressing, or crumbles for a salad or burger)

When I buy blue cheese crumbles from the store they last for a month. So I just be doing something wrong

Came from 2018 rogue which doors were very stiff, and I just got used to it. Pathy however is very sensitive so it seems like everyone shutting their door is an argument ending slam.

On season 4 right now. Started about 3 days ago. Just saw there is a podcast. If i listen to the podcast are there points where they say “and later in season 9 we know xyz happens?”

I know kind of a weird question.

Let’s say I throw in some raw chicken wings in the oven (or burgers in a pan). Then I go to flip it. The utensil has now touched the raw side. Should I technically swap it for a different utensil because if I go to serve the food wouldn’t the raw meat have tainted the utensil?
