Why is this thread in gorl twak?

'cause most dudes don't give a fuck about sharing how to survive when poorfagging it. Gorls are social fucktards who will give each other support hugs while secretly whispering about how they're glad they're not poorfags like you all while giving advice on how to survive as a poorfag.

Thread tax: if you need a cheap way to get rid of fire ants and are balking at the cost of commercial ant killer, just mix borax with peanut butter, mix until it's a fine paste, and then smear it near the mound. The ants will happily eat it up (fire ants are protein-driven and adore peanut butter) and then die like the miserable cunts they are because they can't digest the borax. For black carpenter ants, use honey or syrup instead of peanut butter for the same results. I used this around my property when I first purchased it and have no problems with fire ants anymore.

Thread 'The Ramen thread, instant noodles and the like'

Oct 30, 2016

As someone who sometimes eats cupped noodles, what are some of your favorite brands of ramen/instant noodles? If so, what modifications do you make to your noodles? Lately I've been eating Shin Ramyun, the spicy flavor. Sometimes i put some chopped onions and carrots in my noodles.

Gayest post I've ever read in my life.

Thank you for proving my point, my dude.

 

[Sneaky lurker]

Thank you for proving my point, my dude.

It's not what you said, its the way you said it.

Final response:

Stop shitting up the thread.

That is all.

Thread tax: 2 liter bottles are of course cheaper than individual cans of soda if you must have your carbonated fix. Once you're done with your 2 liter, there are a plethora of uses for that giant plastic bottle when you're done. Using them in late winter to make planters for seedlings for planting once the threat of frost is gone is a great way to recycle them (and get a head start on your tomato plants, because why the fuck spend good money on those things later?).

Also, growing your tomatoes from slices of tomatoes in your fast food burgers or from last year's harvest does work. Might not be the best variety of tomato, but hey, low-cost food.

I had a neighbor that showed us how to get rid of pests like roaches and rats by mixing borax with enough flour, water, and sugar to form a paste. Place it where they congregate, then watch as these fuckers disvolve from the inside out. No way of building up an immunity when your insides turn into half-set Jello.

mix borax with peanut butter, mix until it's a fine paste, and then smear it near the mound.

If you look at the ready-made borax ant baits, it's easy to reverse engineer them, if you're worried about idiot mammals eating the floor candy.

Borax mixture in a jar with nail holes in the lid, I guess glue the lid on if you're worried about a child and not a pet. Anything to let only ants in.

Question: Who tipped off the boomers about the value of their silver?
You used to be able to get cheapies from places like consignment stores and flea markets, now the prices reflect market value. Boooooo

The sister threads linked in OP are also in Gorl Tawk, likely for the same reasons. It’s not in Self-Sufficiency because not only is that subforum newer, but also because this thread doesn’t completely shit on using government services if you really need it at that moment.

Continuing the pest control topic, if you tend to get a bunch of fruit flies in your house when the weather first warms up no matter what, a good way to create traps is to mix a couple squirts of dish soap and vinegar in a small dish and leave it on a counter overnight. While you may need to do a couple more rounds, it often takes out a bunch of them in one go.

This one is fantastic. I find that ACV attracts more of the little bastards than regular white vinegar for some reason, may be because of the whole "apple" aspect but I'm not a scholar learned on insect behaviour.
I always add a bit more water as the vinegar dries out, no need to make a new portion if you're a pennypinching asshole like me.
Leave it for as long as you need to.

I've done a similar experiment.

White vinegar + soap = Some dead fruit flies
ACV + soap = MANY dead fruit flies

I have experienced the same. White is fine in a pinch, but apple cider vinegar is more effective when there are a ton of them (or feels that way). It also smells less pungent than white if that’s a concern.

I'm a foid with decent money and I love shin ramyun because it tastes good. Absolutely no shame in the ramen game (until the doctor takes ur blood pressure jfc)

 

[annikaguts]

One of my favorite ways to save money, yet still enjoy tasty foods, is to focus on using inexpensive foods to create most of the meal. Also portion control. For instance, this meal was made up of kale ($1.69/bunch), cabbage ($2.50/medium-sized head), tofu ($2.19 for 15 oz.), red pepper (bought in a three-pack containing 1 red, 1 yellow, and 1 orange for $2.99), Pea microgreens (grew them myself, bought 5 lbs. for around $25, including delivery), and Greek yogurt (to make the sauce, $2.94/32 oz).

This allowed me to use my more expensive ingredients (wasabi almond, 2 lbs $11.4, tahini ($13.99/32 oz), and maple syrup ($15.98, 32 oz) to maximize the rest of the dish. It also helps that the more expensive ingredients are the higher-calorie ones, so it definitely helps with portion control.

I also do a lot of sprouting. The initial investment in seeds can seem like a lot, but when you realize how many servings 2 tablespoons of broccoli seeds make, it’s not much at all. You can even sprout/grow microgreens from store-bought lentils.

This gives me money so I can save for fun things, like mason jars, and other things for my indoor hydroponic setup. (Kratky method).

I eat so many chickpeas. I usually cook them in a pressure cooker. I use the chickpea cooking liquid to make mayo and low calorie salad dressing.

My dinner last night: Spicy curried chickpea salad, and pea shoots. (that I grew)

Chickpeas are so good! If someone "doesn't like beans," they should try chickpeas (and of course my beloved lentils); they're so mild and smooth.

Cold cooked chickpeas were always a staple option during the heyday of the salad bar. They are a versatile and inoffensive bean.

If you have practically no storage space in your shitty little apartment or wherever you are, get a few nice soup plates and call it a day (it sounds like a joke, like 'save money by just eating with sporks!' but they're actually great as both bowls and plates and so you can buy less, store less, and still have something fit to serve company off of).

This is really good advice, kids, don't buy those boxes sets of dishes and ESPCIALLY don't buy those boxed sets of cookware. It looks like a good deal becasue you get so many pieces but you will never use most of them. Do you need 4 coffee cups with saucers? Do you need 4 dinner plates AND 4 salad plates? NO. You don't even need dinner plates fatty, eat off the human-sized salad plate. Pasta/soup bowls are terrific and you can find all sorts of great stuff at the thrifty. Buy all white and you can mix and match patterns (pass this off a deliberately boho style choice) but buy your frying pan at Ross or TJmax or whereever.

You don't need a massive knife block with weird shit in it like a sharpening rod. You need an 8 or 10 inch frying pan, get ceramic coated or stainless* but not teflon (only good for eggs). You need a soup pot, a small one to cook one can of soup or a packet of ramen or boiling eggs, and you can get a big pasta pot someday (for now, boil your pasta in your frying pan). You need a 9x13" banking pan if you have an oven. Cast iron is a reddit meme.

The more shit you own the more kitchen space you need to pay for and that's dumb.

*stainless has a real skill ramp-up. Learn to heat your pan for way longer than you think it needs to heat. Youtube will show you what you need to know.

 

[Aunt Carol]

Buy all white and you can mix and match patterns (pass this off a deliberately boho style choice)

Or, specifically, buy Corelle dishes open stock (in meatspace). Pick the plain white ones and you'll still be able to add exact duplicates in 10 or 50 years, or get the cute patterns and mix and match. Corelle's good stuff. Microwave-safe, nigh-unbreakable, not plastic so you don't feel like a loser, and you can safely scrub the bejesus out of them if you have to.



More of a housekeeping thing, but if you're just setting out on your own for the very first time, it's really better to have two bowls than to buy an eight-pack of bowls, even if the price per bowl pencils out better. Two dirty bowls in the sink and none in the cabinet: "I'd better wash dishes so I can use 'em." Eight bowls can just end up dirty in the sink one by one, and then you turn around and if you want a bowl you have to wash an entire week's worth of dishes that have just been sitting out.

Depending on how the rest of your life is going, this could feel like a whole thing, and the next thing you know you're a paper plate person or you owe your firstborn to DoorDash. Better to get into the habit of cleaning up after yourself as you go.

You don't need a massive knife block with weird shit in it like a sharpening rod.

A whetstone and a honing rod are great to have. I do 99.9% of my kitchen chopping with a chefs knife plus small cheap paring knife so I do agree with not needing 20 random knives though. Spending a few bucks and a little time learning to hone and sharpen your knives is worth it.
