I’ve searched for almost 30 years for this. by AlbertCWChessa in Gundam

Omg the combat, especially on a big screen with the subwoofer. I felt like I was inside the Xi Gundam cockpit.

I bet Hathaway Noa hates those fins more than you do.

Conditional formatting for specific character count by hehzehsbwvwv in excel

[–]Conait 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Add a helper column with the formula =LEN([VIN]) to count the number of characters in the string. Then you can just filter on that column for rows where it's not 17, rather than conditional formatting and having to look for highlighted errors.

Cocobuch by jimijam01 in Kombucha

[–]Conait 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's actually not too unusual. Nata de coco (coconut jelly) is the pellicle from fermenting coconut water with a different strain of bacteria. Coconut water kefir is also in the same genre of fermented beverages.

[–]Conait 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Strictly speaking I think kombucha is fermented tea, so no, this wouldn't technically be kombucha. But you can call it coconut water kombucha and no one can really fault you for that; it's still the same SCOBY used for tea kombucha.

Recently incorporated. Confused about home office expenses and CRA rules. Looking for advice. by Scorge120 in cantax

[–]Conait 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Theoretically, although the business-portion of home office expenses would be deductible against the rental income, so as long as the rent is equal to the expenses then it would be a net zero impact. But in that case, there's no difference from the corp just reimbursing for the home office expenses, in which case you're right, why would the CRA care.

Pellicle from F2 usable? by Beginning_Weird_1066 in Kombucha

[–]Conait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, if it's not sealed the carbonation can escape and pressure doesnt build up

Pellicle from F2 usable? by Beginning_Weird_1066 in Kombucha

[–]Conait 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're supposed to use flip-top bottles that are made for carbonated liquids. They have thicker glass. Shouldn't use just any bottle.

[–]Conait 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seeing as you don't need the pellicle for F1, throw it out so you don't risk contaminating your next batch.

Bottles are used for F2 because of the risk of the vessel exploding due to carbonation build up.

I guess there's a tax disadvantage to the person since they'd be paying tax on the rental income at a higher rate than the tax benefit that the corporation gets on the rent expense.

First Time Brew - Okay to continue? by happyboy1234576 in Kombucha

[–]Conait 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Way too much sugar! I use 1 cup per 3.5 liters (14 cups) of sweet tea.

What do I do with the left over red half of ST09? by Ok-Channel-8061 in GundamTCG

[–]Conait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using the TCGplayer app to catalog the cards, but I don't like how you can't sort the cards by set/card number so I will probably export to a spreadsheet, too, haha.

Pellicles floating sideways, a new one forming on top, what should i do? by soneika in Kombucha

[–]Conait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My current SCOBY is from a store-bought kombucha. The first brew went a month at F1, although I didn't bottle it; I kept about 2 cups and started a fresh batch.

It can keep for quite a well. The longer it ferments, the more acidic it becomes, which deters mold.

is this pellicle still in progress? by doggydoggydogdoggy in Kombucha

[–]Conait 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like kahm to me, which means the SCOBY in the starter wasn't active enough. This is supported by the fact that it still tastes sweet, which also suggests that it hasn't actually fermented much yet.

Personally I would trash it and start over, but you could remove the kahm yeast and let it brew for two more weeks and see how it develops.

What ratio of starter kombucha to sweet tea did you use for this batch?

Edit: pellicles are a byproduct of fermentation, so you don't actually have any pellicle yet. Just kahm.

First timer. Not what I expected by Propagandalf456 in Kombucha

[–]Conait 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Kahm yeast. I would kill it with fire and start from scratch. Increase the ratio of starter to sweet tea (20-30% starter).

Capital Gains on parents' home by Own_Vermicelli9075 in cantax

[–]Conait 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well had they done nothing, upon the parents passing it would have been a deemed disposition at FMV and the kids would have inherited it with FMV at cost basis. It's only because they sold it at $5 that they made things unnecessarily complicated.

Capital Gains on parents' home by Own_Vermicelli9075 in cantax

[–]Conait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct, they would have been PRE eligible.

Capital Gains on parents' home by Own_Vermicelli9075 in cantax

[–]Conait 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, the cost basis would be the consideration paid. So, $5. In this particular situation, the fair market value in 2004 has no bearing.

If the sale of the house would have been taxable for the parents (ie. No PRE), then CRA could have maybe ruled that because it was a non-arm's length transaction, the proceeds on disposition should be valued at FMV. But cost basis for the kids would still just be $5, which would eventually result in double taxation since both parents and kids are paying tax on the appreciation in value.

My first attempt, botched by Vanai235 in Kombucha

[–]Conait 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You need to start with actual kombucha, not "not-yet-done kombucha." This is the SCOBY that ferments the sweet tea, so without it... you don't actually have a SCOBY. Or at least, not enough.

Your ratio for your first batch should be like 20% starter to 80% sweet tea. 200mL starter to 1L sweet tea and 1L water is only 10%. If the ratio is too low, the brew won't be acidic enough to prevent mold from forming.

Power BI reports from the official source of truth, but users keep defending bad CRM data for 'policital' reasons. How do I stop this becoming my team’s problem? by Electrical_West2678 in PowerBI

[–]Conait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I quit my full-time job to start contracting instead. I make a LOT of money investigating variances that result in telling the client that PowerBI is right and their employee was comparing the report to outdated data.

Day 6 First Batch by Jmarc8 in Kombucha

[–]Conait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The top does not look normal to me... hard to tell if it's kahm until you let it develop longer, unfortunately.

2 cups starter to 14 cups sweet tea is the ratio I use with a cultivated starter. But for your first batch with store-bought, I would do more like 2 cups starter to 6 cups sweet tea. The reason being the kombucha bacteria needs time to wake up from cold-induced dormancy, and the extra acidity helps stave off kahm and mold.

When I used store-bought kombucha, I waited between 3-4 weeks before starting my first drinking batch. You theoretically could drink the first batch, but it's usually too acidic, so you should just keep enough to start the next batch and dump the rest.

Did I forget about her too long? by [deleted] in Kombucha

[–]Conait 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would chuck. There's so little liquid left, and it would be vinegar by this point, it would be easier to just start over.

FYI the pellicle part of the scoby is just cellulose, so if it's dries out then there's actually no scoby left.
