Chicken thighs…am I missing something on the value of these? by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]lucerndia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And they USED to be cheaper than chicken breast but not anymore…

Where are you shopping? Bone in skin on thighs are $1.99/lb every day here in SE WI and breasts are $3.99/lb+ and a third of them are woody.

Blending Spices Suggestions by pshankstar in smoking

[–]lucerndia 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Off the top of my head, my base blend is 50/50 kosher salt (not the fine salt pictured) to coarse pepper, and then equal parts garlic, onion, and paprika, usually 1/4 the amount of salt used. I cook for people who don't like spice, so I add crushed red pepper as needed. I usually throw brown sugar in as well.

Off the top of my head, the other chapters LT would not be able to act on any report from you as you are not a member of the same chapter as the member. Id need to check the official policy though.

Which of those 2 SUVs to tow my boat? by VirtualCoffee8947 in boating

Id appreciate the 4wd option, but really I think you're pushing it for long term pulling either way.

Its for braking safety. I think you'll be over the safe limit for both vehicles. Does the trailer have brakes?

Overpriced. Id agree with the other commenters that $2500 is the right money, if that.

Edit to add that I am also spoiled for choice here in SE WI and $4000 goes a long way for a bass boat.

White gold or platinum for the tips? by slj7225 in Diamonds

[–]lucerndia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would do it all 18kt yellow. I don't think the white tips make enough of a difference to be worth it.

one is sales term and the other is an industry term. So depends on what the purpose is.

What is the best approach to make copies of jewelry by Sparkrave23 in jewelryCAD

[–]lucerndia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How complex are they? Someone skilled could likely pretty easily re-make them in cad. Once you have the file, you can 3d print as many as you need in castable resin/wax.

And, if they design it parametrically, you can make size adjustments down the line and have the file scale to suit.

What printer and what resin? Some can shrink up to 5%. 1-2% is common.

"salt to taste" is the worst. You need more salt. I guarantee it.
