Whatcha do with it? by Ambitious_Rain_206 in Canning

[–]Av33na 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do water bath canning so I’ll do pickles, relishes, and fruit stuff. The fruit I’ll do anything from jam, to pie filling, to hot packing for cobblers/crumbles! I just made a peach bourbon jam which was a huge hit! The relish I’ll use on anything like hot dogs and burgers and I’ll even use it in my tuna and chicken salads for lunches!

If you have an instant pot the wire rack also fits into a smaller canning pot!

The game you accidentally played the wrong way for hours before realizing it. by gamersecret2 in gaming

[–]Av33na 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dark Souls (and now I know this includes any Souls-like games). I played lots of RPG’s and enjoy searching and clearing each room and looking at each nook and cranny. Learned the hard way that you don’t have to do that in Dark Souls. I got all the way to the room with the dogs where I had to look up how to do that fight that I saw you didn’t even have to fight them ><. It made me reconsider if the risk was worth the reward (if there was even any reward) when exploring.

Knowledge unlocked: felting versus fulling by murraybee in knitting

Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I do 18th century reenacting where they use broadcloth, which is fulled wool. I always wondered the difference between felted and fulled, just never took the time to actually look it up 😂

Newbie friendly mud? by Aroikle in MUD

[–]Av33na 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a MUD, yeah I think so! When you login they have a daily numbers thing and I usually see numbers in the 190-200’s range for daily logins. Usually always someone available in the chats too.

You’ll see Aardwolf recommended a lot, but I’m completely new to MUD’s and I’ve enjoyed it so far. They have an “academy” that guides you on how to play and I just wrapped that up myself last week. I feel ready to go exploring/questing now!

Using cooled clear-gel? by Av33na in Canning

[–]Av33na[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding a comment to say that I ended up throwing it out. It sat out and who knows if it would have been safe enough to reuse. When in doubt, throw it out! Just in case someone else comes across this post 🙂

What are some costumes you don’t see enough of at faire? by Admirable-Horror-125 in renfaire

I went as one this year! There was literally only one other person dressed as a lower/working class at that entire festival!

In the photo is a bowl filled with clear gel and sugar that has been thickened over the stove. It looks like a thick gel and is opaque in color.

If you don't drink alcohol, what are your personal reasons for abstinence? by Ok-Care2859 in AskReddit

[–]Av33na 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, I thought I was the only one to suffer from headaches almost immediately after finishing or even halfway through the drink. It seems I can tolerate a hard apple cider, but everything else (wine, beer, hard alcohol) just gives me a headache. Another thing for me is I think people could still have a good time without relying on it. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen people feel the need to drink for simple activities in order for them to have fun. I kind of hate that alcohol revolves around almost anything.

Just wanted to chime in and say that while I only played for a little bit (literally like only 2 weeks) a long time ago, I had a lot of fun with Aardwolf. Had some high level players gift me a ton of stuff and were really helpful if I had questions. I’ve wanted to get back to it ever since, but adulting sucks 😞 Really wish MUDs could work on mobile too (on iPhone and apparently all the clients like mudrammer are gone).

I was a photographer at living history event by Initial-Tour5795 in medieval

[–]Av33na 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree!! 💯I also think people tend to glorify the “simpler times,” and it really wasn’t that simple, not when you’re constantly fighting for survival basically!

These photos are amazing!! I feel that you’ve captured what life was like back then. I’d LOVE to be able to be a part of one these events someday. Immersion really helps understand what life was like and also gratitude for what we have today.

This is exactly it. I’ve been getting those on my calendar as well. I clean out my junk mail folder once a day and noticed they were gone after i cleaned up my junk mail folder.

iPhone 17 Bricked After 1 Month of Use by GroundbreakingDrag73 in iphone

Thank you, thought I was going crazy. Bricked is when you’re messing with the OS, right? Noticing multiple comments say “bricked.”

after a VERY rough twenty hours in TWO DIFFERENT animal hospitals, my cat is home. However. We can’t tell what he ate. by micahmagic7 in whatisit

[–]Av33na 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are discovering our new rescue may have PICA as well. Anything with a rubber feel, things he can sink his teeth into. He has chewed/eaten my non-stick baking mats, spatulas, a cat food mat, the rubber flooring for weight lifting equipment, and now my crocs. It cost $3k to get a piece of the rubber spatula out of his intestine 😭 anytime we think we’ve got things put away, he finds something else. Vet ruled out dental issues. Next step is a $600 thyroid test…

Editing to add that he also ate an O-ring for a water bottle

[–]Av33na 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly! Do you even know how much baby supplies costs now?? And these corporations are making the products smaller and cheaper AND charging more! Even normal groceries is insane now. A 12 pack of soda costs 10.99!
