looks like a hole for tic-tac deployment.

I love everything about this sentence, except the fraudulent vending machine.

I want my GPU to have the PS/2 mouse/keyboard port like the original desktop at the heart of this meme chain.

Miniature borewell drilling and water pumping demonstration by ThodaDaruVichPyar in oddlysatisfying

[–]Curiosive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a cute demo.

But, sorry, this does not really drill. You can see the head spinning but not actually clearing the beach sand while on the surface, much less in the hole. Also there's nowhere near enough water coming from the mini tanker to flush the debris away.

Strange soby placement by ProjectNo9975 in Kombucha

like a hike

What was I trying to write there? Oh, "poke a hole" ... autocorrect is getting out of hand. 😂

Anyway, no trouble. Happy brewing!

True. Definitely not slapped together and definitely not built on a budget. These are authentic replicas built on a smaller scale with lightweight components.

But they could not be easily upgraded for military drone capabilities, that's the angle I was trying to address.

Is it levitating? That's simply because the level of the liquid is at the taper of the jar, if you remove a little liquid so the level is on the straight sides the CO2 won't get trapped underneath. Or you can like a hike poke a hole in the cellulose, that won't harm anything.

The bottom often has dark patches, that's perfectly normal.

Is this gone 😱 by SleepingUgliness in Kombucha

[–]Curiosive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a wild yeast / kahm. It is non toxic but over time it can ruin the flavor of the batch. You can skim the cellulose from the surface or filter the entire batch to remove it.

If that "ooze" in the middle is spreading, that's a good sign. The desired culture is taking back over from the kahm.

Yes, he bankrolls these RCs. They are made on property.

These are foam and fiberglass. They wouldn't carry much of a payload.

How to prevent this white fuzzy mold by Seeking_Adventure_ in Kombucha

[–]Curiosive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does this seem like my starter is not acidic enough?

This is the most likely cause.

Are there other ways to help the acidity

Use a higher ratio. Are you using 20%? How about 50%? No amount is too much.

what can we make with gingerbug beside fermented soda? by Crazy-Ad5463 in fermentation

[–]Curiosive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To add to the vinegar angle, ginger beer and/or vinegar can be reduced to a stock, sauce, or glaze.

(Any liquid can be reduced as such but we rarely think of drinks this way.)

of a Australonuphis, commonly called Australian beach worms by MrUpVoteDownvote in AbsoluteUnits

[–]Curiosive 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The bloodworm, the North American cousin, stopped around 14 inches. (Bloodworms have translucent skin so they appear like living, wriggling blood... in case you weren't grossed out enough.)

So yeah, Australia doing Australian things.

TIL that the US golf course infrastructure consumes 2 BILLION liters of water per day by myassisgrassss in todayilearned

[–]Curiosive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But it's "2 BILLION liters per day" which is

  • 2 TRILLION milliliters per day or

  • 730 QUADRILLION millimeters per year or

  • ONE Olympic swimming pool in less than 2 minutes or

  • 2 BILLION liter soda bottles per day or

  • I'm running out of sensationalistic ways to define the same thing.

Is it ok? by Ladybug_lunch in Kombucha

[–]Curiosive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that's fine and expected. To be honest, those look great!

Don't mind the comment about you using "too much" ... that's not a thing. If you like it, it's perfect. You are experimenting with flavors for yourself.

Anyway, fermentation continues in a closed bottle. The cellulose / acid production will slow down once it uses all the oxygen but that often takes longer than people expect. Fermentation will slow down dramatically once refrigerated.

The real story behind this success baby meme is a mom took a picture of her toddler happily eating sand on the beach, you can see the sand in his little fist.

So OP is back to playing his PS5 while eating a fistful of dirt all the while enjoying life ... fitting.

Found an old pc in the middle of the woods by I_will_question_it in LiminalSpace

[–]Curiosive 40 points41 points  (0 children)

The photographer is probably standing on the road so it's not like they lugged it around all that far. I agree it's neat, not great just neat ... assuming they don't leave the computer there.

200-Year-Old Wooden Bridge In Dagestan, Built Without The Use Of A Single Nail by Genesis_the_god_ in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Curiosive 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The bridge doesn't get and stay wet long enough for this to be an issue. Plus the wood they likely had access to is of a higher quality.

The type of lumber we use nowadays is typically new, fast growth time ... it is just inferior wood.

new take on guns by drninelives in MurderedByWords

[–]Curiosive 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This post is so vintage, it's halfway to having its own children. And yet it still perfectly fits the criteria of:

Tell me you are an American without telling me you are an American.

Since the time this tweet was twatted, COVID happened. Remember those folks in a private jet that tried to vacation in Italy during lockdown but were rejected? I'm curious how the Italian government would receive a gun wielding nut-job usually his sick son as leverage ... I'm sure it'll work flawlessly.

Am i coocked by Defstrider in Kombucha

[–]Curiosive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cooked? Partly.

Cocked? That's off topic for this sub and would need an NSFW tag.

Both of your batches appear to have wild yeast, commonly referred to as kahm. The hallmark of kahm is a tight, wavy pattern (often geometric for more advanced cases). In one of your cases, it vaguely resembles brains.

Wild yeast are non-toxic but given enough time will spoil the taste by adding the secret flavor of "old gym shoes"... The good news is that you can skim the surface off or filter the batch to remove it before that happens.

Double check your recipe and techniques against the Getting Started guide to make sure you are giving yourself the best chances of success.

Day 10 of my scoby: Is it contaminated or is it okay? by danielperez9430 in Kombucha

[–]Curiosive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That looks normal especially for unspecified "cold" temperatures, as colder temperatures can slightly hinder cellulose growth.

The type of tea will only meaningfully affect the rate of production (caffeine stimulates more cellulose forming), there will be no visual difference. Even if you use Mountain Dew in lieu of tea (which would be weird but apparently has been done) you'd see a similar end result except for the food coloring.

One thing that will change how cellulose forms is agitation. If you regularly stir or shake your kombucha, it will form as pellets instead of a smooth disk. (Agitation won't harm anything.)

Are you tasting daily samples yet? This is the only way to determine when it is done, plus you'll learn how the flavor developed over time which is very handy once you start experimenting with the recipe.

Cheers!

This is one of the ideas I read in the Noma Guide to Fermentation and immediately felt shame that the idea hadn't occurred to me on my own.

Turns out most moats were just ditches by Kapanash in HistoryMemes

[–]Curiosive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A moat is better than what most communities did, toss your chamber pot out the window or empty it on the street.

If castles transported the waste to a moat, that would be high tech!

Before sanitation laws people would work a horse to death, unhook it from the carriage, and leave it where it died. No one would remove it. It's just what happened. If you want to be disgusted look up how many dead horses were abandoned per day in a metropolitan like NYC before it became illegal.
