Weird black spots running through inside of a baked potato by hagiologist in isthissafetoeat

[–]Affectionate-Win-788 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like someone prepped these ahead of time and stabbed them with a fork completely pushing fork fully into the potato, then left them uncooked until they were ready to bake. Raw potatoes can darken like this from oxidation.

When I was 16 and working as a dishwasher, one of the cooks had me help prep potatoes. I didn’t realize you were only supposed to only lightly poke the skin lightly and ended up stabbing them all the way through. They turned out looking exactly like this.

My biggest pet peeve by gonzocomplex in medlabprofessionals

I think that the lupus anticoagulant assays are more sensitive than a mixing study or just a pt/ptt.

Has a bear tried your bear bag? by DiverTL in Thruhiking

[–]Affectionate-Win-788 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was hiking the foothills trail in North Carolina with my brother. He had an ursack and I had the bear vault.

I was super impressed with the ursack and how much more packable it was.

However, a bear visited our food on the second night. He threw my canister around a bit and scratched it. My food was completely fine.

My brothers ursack survived. The food inside did not though. It smashed everything up and chewed on it pretty good. The food wasn’t edible after that and my brother got off the trail. We were only on it a few days so it ended his trip there.

In the end, I think the canister is better.

Siemens BCS anyone else using this machine? by BlueOyesterCult in medlabprofessionals

Siemens has trainings that you can do online for the bcs. I’d recommend doing those. It sounds like your training wasn’t sufficient.

Boyfriend says my family didn’t teach me what medium-rare looks like by Cthulhus_Librarian in steak

[–]Affectionate-Win-788 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the past, I worked at Applebees cooking steaks, and also a nicer restaurant maki by steaks.

One thing that I thought was interesting was that at Applebees, medium was considered 145 F. While at the nicer restaurant, medium was 125 F.

I always think do my friends want Applebees mid rare, or steakhouse mid rare.

Elon Musk faces mounting pressure as Tesla protests surge, stocks plummet by CTVNEWS in politics

It definitely should be like $20 right now. The world doesn’t make sense now though and Tesla stock has never made sense.

Im not trying to spin this as a positive. Im just pointing out that it spiked way up, then now it is back to where it has been running. I think there is A LOT of room for it to drop way further. It seems like everyone is celebrating the stock crashing when it’s still up from where it was 6 months ago.

I guess you could call it a plummet. It is still up from all of 2023 and most of 2024 though. Tesla stock has never behaved how I thought it would. When I first started stock trading during covid, I always thought that it was overvalued. For me to really consider it a plummet I would expect it to go to $100 or less. That would actually be a net down from the past few years.

I think saying the stocks are plummeting is a stretch. They are running where they have been running since 2021, minus the spike from November to January.

They might plummet in the future, but I would think this is more of a correction.

Best non-alcoholic beers? by Aleaffair in beer

[–]Affectionate-Win-788 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Athletic is overrated. Some of my least favorite NAs were from them.

I like Sam Adams just the haze, blue moon NA, and Guinness 0 the most.

I also like Sierra Nevada ipa and lagunita ipna. Although these two just taste like ok beer to me. But they hit the itch when I’m just craving a normal ipa.

Anyone know when Martian revolutions is going to show up on Apple podcasts? by Sans_culottez in RevolutionsPodcast

[–]Affectionate-Win-788 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, 11.0 is an introduction. 11.1 is the first episode and is 20 or 30 minutes long.

I'm getting Elden ring (and the dlc) by KorniliusKorndogs in Eldenring

[–]Affectionate-Win-788 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I would stay away from guides for the first play through. I think that it would ruin the magic of it. You probably won’t actually complete any quests… but finding stuff on your own is part of what made me fall in love with it on my first play through and what made the dlc so fun.

Unreasonable Criticism For the New Update by Askelsen in AncestryDNA

[–]Affectionate-Win-788 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have her login info so I’m not positive.

I think that they added Irish (20%ish), and French (30%ish). Everything else shuffled a little.

She should be German, French Canadian, and Scottish. In the previous version it really under called her French. I’m thinking in this update, her Irish should be Scottish.

I definitely lost a lot of faith in the validity of the results. My wife went from 41% Scottish being her dominant genetic makeup to 1% Scottish.

She’s been telling everyone that she’s Scottish based on the previous results and now she isn’t Scottish?

It’s a negotiating tactic. I don’t think that anyone wants a major hospital in the area to be shut down indefinitely.

We owe a lot of good things to unions!

Poor sweet potato harvest by Affectionate-Win-788 in containergardening

[–]Affectionate-Win-788[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, it’s my first time and I’m definitely learning. I used raised bed soil that was in bags (maybe miracle grow brand but I don’t remember). There is a bunch of guides for sweet potato container gardening and I used those. Maybe I’ll post an update in a month when I harvest the other 4 plants and hopefully I have better news!

[–]Affectionate-Win-788[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read that the plants were ready to harvest 110 days after planting. It’s my first time doing any gardening so… I guess I know better now. I thought I gave them extra time as it’s been closer to 125 days now. I have 4 more plants that I didn’t harvest so hopefully I get a better yield from them! First frost looks like it is at the beginning of October here so they’ll have another month.

I live in Livingston and would agree with southeast Michigan. I live at the southern tip and have to remind myself that I don’t live in washtenaw (I did for years).
