After I picked up cooking, I dialed in a classic Russian pancakes recipe of my grandma (the babushka) and made it sugar-free. I cook those pancakes for my wife every Saturday, and she says they taste heavenly.
So, here’s the recipe of kiki’s pancakes:
- 8 eggs, 150g of 82% butter, 300g of flour, baking powder, 800ml of 3.2% fat milk. If you have a blender, it’ll make things easier
- let them sit and make all of them the same temperature
- take 8 eggs, add milk, stir
- liquify the butter in the microwave, add, stir
- sift the flour in while stirring continuously
- let it sit for 30 minutes
- take a pan, add little butter or sunflower seed oil, make it scary hot
- after you pour, flip the pancake when its top gets dry
to flip them easily, spread pastry wide when pouring, overlapping frying pan edges. Then, use those edges (now bone dry) to flip the pancake. After you’re done, those edges (now almost black) will break away, leaving a perfect pancake. This works especially well if you don’t have a good non-stick frying pan.
enjoy!

Do you think it’s appropriate to use the phrase "dried" in commit messages to refer to removing duplicate code? (DRY = don’t repeat yourself)
I just used it and I’m not sure if it’s ok because some devs might not understand it and the the original letters from DRY went away and became "dried" so it might be even more cryptic.
On the other hand it’s so much more concise having "dried type X" compared to "refactored the code so that it doesn’t contain duplicates of type X"13 -
Alright fellow sweaty programmers, mama Kiki is here to teach you the basics of hygiene.
TEETH
- If you have a toothpaste prescription, use it.
- Every single whitening toothpaste is a scam. Don’t use them.
- Every single over-the-counter toothpaste that decreases sensitivity does work. If your teeth are sensitive, use it.
- Otherwise, buy the cheapest name-brand toothpaste.
- Use dental floss. As long as it’s flat and waxed, the cheapest one will do.
- When flossing, never move the floss back and forth as if you try to saw through your gums. Just put the floss in, then out. Repeat if necessary.
- Don’t put your toothpaste on your toothbrush. Put a small amount of it directly in your mouth with a bit of water. Close your mouth and spread toothpaste all over your teeth using a rinsing motion, as if it was mouthwash. Now your teeth are completely covered.
- When brushing teeth, don’t use -90°/0°/90° angles. Use -35°/35°. This way you will spend less time while getting better cleansing. Bristle ends should touch where your teeth meet your gums.
- Get yourself a tongue scrubber. Scrub your tongue until what comes off of it is clean. Dirty tongue is why your breath smells bad, not dirty teeth.
- After you’re done, don’t rinse! Spit the toothpaste out, but let its residue stay there. The remineralization process is now started. If you follow the routine, you don’t need mouthwash at all.
- Drinking/eating sugary things, not washing your teeth and going straight to bed is the best way to get cavities ASAP. In your mouth, sugar quickly turns into the kind of acid that we use for soldering. It can strip the oxide layer off of copper. Do you know how after you drink Coke, your teeth become almost squeaky clean? That’s this. If you like sugary drinks, carefully drink them using a straw. Rinse immediately after you’re done drinking & eating.
SHAVING
- Get yourself an old-school safety T-razor, the one that takes suicide blades. It will last a lifetime. Mühle and Merkur are good manufacturers (not affiliated). Once you have it, for the rest of your life, you will only buy blades. This is the most environmentally friendly way to get a clean, close shave. Electric razors save water, but they often contain batteries.
- Because of how violently electric razor’s blades hit hair while cutting it, they chip your hair. This leads to your freshly grown hair being sharp, rough and unpleasant to the touch. The manual razor, on the other hand, produce clean edges. When your hair grows back, it will be softer than what you get with an electric razor.
- Feather brand blades (not affiliated) are the sharpest in the world. The sharper the blade, the less traumatic it is. Watch T-razor tutorials on YouTube. There are different shaving techniques that will get you a killer shave.
- T-razor blades last considerably longer than their modern soyboy single-use counterparts.
- Because of a single blade construction, T-razor almost never leaves irritation.
- Basically, modern single-use plastic blades are horrible for the environment, and they’re almost a scam for how much you get for your money. They’re only rivaled by printer ink. Use them only for intimate shaving, as they’re considerably handier down there.
- Always shave after hot shower.
- Before shaving, dry the skin surface. Apply shaving foam on dry skin only, as it contains chemicals that make your hair softer. When diluted, they’re not as effective, and shaving unsoftened hair is almost always unpleasant and dangerous.
- After applying the foam, wait about a minute for the foam to work. If the skin gets irritated, don’t wait for as long, or perhaps try a different foam brand.
- Before shaving, thoroughly clean your razor with hand sanitizer or ethanol. Ideally, it should be sterile. Using boiling hot water is also a good option, just be careful with it.
- After shaving, rinse off foam, immediately dry your skin with a clean towel, then apply aftershave. After applying it, don’t touch your skin until it completely dries. If you follow this routine, your skin won’t get any pimples, guaranteed.
- Scrubs won’t help you. Don’t use them.

I hate the process of trying to get hydrated when I’ve gone through a period of apparently thinking I’m a cactus.
When I don’t drink water at all, I feel fine. No dry mouth, no symptoms of dehydration.
I *start* trying to hydrate and it’s like my body thinks this is the best time to start giving me all those dehydration symptoms it doesn’t even bother with when I’m not drinking water because it’s just given up on me listening to them.
I drank 64 oz of water yesterday and woke up with my tongue stuck to the roof of my mouth and my throat scratchy.
I know that I need to keep drinking water in large quantities for a period of time for my body to chill the fuck out again, but words can’t describe how tempting it is to just go back to being a cactus.
Hydrating sucks.8 -
When it comes to healthcare professionals, uniforms are not just about appearance—they play a key role in daily performance. For men working in hospitals, clinics, or medical facilities, the right scrubs for men can significantly affect comfort, focus, and overall work performance. Whether you are a doctor, nurse, or any other medical professional, understanding the factors that impact your choice of male scrubs can make a difference in how efficiently you work.

Durability
Working in a healthcare setting often exposes your uniform to rough conditions—spills, stains, and wear and tear. The best mens scrub options are made from durable fabrics that can withstand daily use and frequent washing. Scrubs made from lower-quality materials can fade, shrink, or lose their shape quickly, resulting in the need to replace them more often.
Durable male scrubs save time and money in the long run, ensuring you don’t have to keep buying new ones. This also adds peace of mind, as you won’t be distracted by the state of your uniform and can stay focused on patient care. When buying scrubs for men, it’s essential to consider durability to maintain a professional appearance throughout your shifts.
Breathability and Temperature Control
Healthcare professionals spend long hours on their feet, often in warm or stuffy environments. Wearing mens scrub sets made from breathable fabrics is essential to stay cool and comfortable. Scrubs with moisture-wicking properties are designed to draw sweat away from the body, keeping you dry and preventing body odor.
The best medical scrubs for men are made with fabrics that allow for airflow, preventing overheating and promoting comfort in both high-pressure and high-temperature environments. When your body temperature is regulated, it’s easier to stay focused and perform tasks without feeling distracted by discomfort.
Comfort and Fit
One of the most important factors affecting work performance is the fit and comfort of mens scrubs. Scrubs that are too tight or too loose can restrict movement, making it difficult to perform essential tasks. Best male scrubs are designed with a comfortable fit that allows healthcare professionals to move freely, bend, stretch, and lift without any discomfort. Scrubs that fit well reduce distractions, allowing you to focus on your patients and work at your best.
Additionally, the fabric’s softness is crucial for comfort, especially during long shifts. Best medical scrubs for men are often made of materials like cotton blends or moisture-wicking fabrics that provide comfort all day long. If your scrubs are uncomfortable, it could lead to irritation or fatigue, which can hinder your performance.
Pockets and Practicality
As a healthcare professional, you need quick access to medical tools and instruments like pens, thermometers, and stethoscopes. The placement and number of pockets in male scrubs can play a big role in your ability to keep essential items within reach. Scrubs with multiple, well-placed pockets allow you to organize your tools and supplies efficiently.
Choosing the best male scrubs that offer functional pockets can boost your productivity. Scrubs with extra pockets on the chest or thighs give you the ability to carry all your tools without needing to leave your station or interrupt your workflow. This feature directly impacts your ability to stay organized, focused, and on-task throughout the day.
Flexibility and Range of Motion
Another important factor that affects work performance is the level of flexibility offered by your mens scrubs. Healthcare professionals need scrubs that allow for a full range of motion to perform physical tasks such as lifting, bending, and assisting patients. Scrubs that are too stiff or tight can limit your movements, making it harder to perform hands-on tasks efficiently.
When you choose the best medical scrubs for men, opt for scrubs with stretchable fabric blends that provide flexibility without compromising comfort. This ensures that you can move easily and focus on your work without feeling restricted by your uniform.
Professional Appearance
The way you look in your scrubs plays a role in your confidence and professionalism. Scrubs that are well-fitted and stylish contribute to a more polished appearance, which can influence how patients and colleagues perceive you. Wearing the best mens scrub that fits your personal style while adhering to professional standards can make you feel more confident and prepared.
When you look professional, it not only boosts your self-esteem but also helps build trust with your patients. A neat, tidy, and well-maintained uniform is a sign of competence and care, which can positively influence your interactions with others in the healthcare setting.
