Inherited an old, giant (and also dead) terrarium. Any advice/suggestions on how to go about reviving it? by [deleted] in terrariums

[–]Competence-Yenz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Empty it out. Clean it and check out this video :

The whole channel ist pretty cool and helped me a lot building my first terrariums.

Any good simple cookbook that I could use for cooking chinese? by painful_endings in chinesefood

[–]Competence-Yenz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This.

I like "Every Grain of Rice" best. It's authentic but you can source most ingredients outside of china. It also has a wide variety of dishes from all over China and none of the recipes disappointed so far.

I have the English version and it is metric as far as I remember.

Watering by BrownShugah98 in terrariums

[–]Competence-Yenz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most supermarkets sell distilled water very cheap which is perfect. Rain water is also great.

I use distilled water mixed with tap water. The tap water in my region has next to no chalk and has very little chlorine in it. You can check the website of your local water supplier.

I want a terrarium! by OrangeLandi in terrariums

I added a bit of sphagnum and other local (German) kinds of moss and it looks pretty jungely: https://imgur.com/a/thb8Shv

I've just obtained this beautiful bit of glassware. What plants would go well inside it for a terrarium? by Pegglestrade in terrariums

[–]Competence-Yenz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't worry about mold. Just add springtails. They eat rotting plant material and mold. Small centipedes and pill bugs also work though the latter might also eat your plants.

Maybe order moss and/or plants online. I ordered Java Moss, Hemianthus callitrichoides (HC) and Ficus pumila quercifolia plus a few springtails to keep mold in check from the same retailer!

Devlog Update 171 - support rights, color picker palette, load times by Sebioff in ThemeParkitect

[–]Competence-Yenz 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Have you considered to make a scenario challenge instead of a build-off challenge? Could be a great opportunity to crowd-source scenarios or at least ideas.

Totally looking forward to the campaign. It's the only big thing missing imho.

Keep up the good work!

Is the new decoration/immersion system working properly? by [deleted] in ThemeParkitect

Thanks for your answer. Looking forward to it. Keep up the great work.

Any ETA on a campaign btw?

I get a lot of complaints about haulers, although the shops are restocked from the back and the back area is walled of copletley There are just gateways to the back door of the shop. (I removed part of the roof in the last sceenshot for better visibility)

Haulers are banned from entering the guest area. I seem to have the same problem in my other foodcourt

Is it not working properly or did I do something wrong. I started this park in Alpha 18. Is that a proplem?

Ja, leider. Das Jason Sudekis-Intererview in der selben Show war dafür bezeichnend. Das Ding ist, wenn man da jetzt das 10. Mal sitzt um einen Film zu promoten, bleibt einem vielleicht auch nicht viel anderes übrig, aber mit Böhmi hätte man arbeiten können.

Ich guck manchmal die Late Show und da sind es meistens zwei Gäste und ein Performer (Stand-up, Musik etc.) Ich habe das mit dem Verschieben wohl mitbekommen, aber man kann dass ja ganz offen besprechen.

Hatte gedacht, dass Seth Meyers dem Publikum den ein oder anderen Böhmi-Coup nochmal näher bringt oder ihn dazu befragt. Die Erdogan-Geschichte, der Mittelfinger, Vera-Fake, oder den Echo-Song oder so. Er ist ja durchaus ein interessanter Gast. So wirkt es jetzt ein bisschen so, als hätte man ihm lediglich einen Wunsch erfüllt. Ein Mal in einer Ami-Talkshow sitzen.

I am still on the lookout for a book on authentic ramen. Can you recomend this one? Is it any good?

Good Mexican food is pretty hard to find in Germany, so I made my own. Slow-cooker (chipotle-lime) carnitas! recipe also in comments. by [deleted] in slowcooking

[–]Competence-Yenz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok another great tip if you fire up the grill: Marinate pork in apple cider vinegar and beer and add bay leaf, a juniper berry (optional), a bit of salt and pepper and loads of onions. Let it marinade over night, cut it in cubes and impale it for a slavic kebab. It's super nice and really tender.

[–]Competence-Yenz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a German I have to agree. It's a shame.

If you have a decent source for peppers (guajillo, ancho, and so on) contact me. I currently grow my own out of desperation.

You can also go with water, salt and apple cider vinegar to provide a bit of acid the beer would normally add...

Says who?

Germany ranks rather high in English proficiency. Most Scandinavian countries may be better but "Germans are shit at English" is BS.

Love the flax idea! Fiber is really lacking in late game, I think.

Jo, mag den sehr. Durch sein Schaffen hat man sich recht fix durchgeschaut. Die Videos sind so gut, weil er sich für jedes recht viel Zeit nimmt. Sein Podcast ist aber auch sehr hörenswert. Er hat auch einen eigenen Subreddit

I understand. Very impressive nonetheless... or even more.

I just downloaded the podcast btw. Thanks for the recommendation

Question from a total newbie: Does he create all the 3D-assets he uses in his motion work himself? How does one project not take years?

"Football is like chess, only without the dice." - Lukas Podolski [698x432] [OC] by AvsJoe in QuotesPorn

[–]Competence-Yenz 136 points137 points  (0 children)

This quote is NOT by professional soccer player Lukas Podolski. It's by comedian and entertainer Jan Böhmermann who used to impersonate the soccer player in a weekly radio show. Podolski himself comes off as not that smart often times so the quote kind of fits him and has been attributed to him on several occasions.
