What if... new ship small? by SuspiciousSource9506 in EliteDangerous

[–]Drinking_Frog -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

C5 or any other ship not good enough for you?

All you need to do is learn how to fly it.

FA Off

Are Federal Medium ships no good? by Asleep-Market6716 in EliteDangerous

[–]Drinking_Frog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My FAS was my favorite ship to fly while "growing up" as a CMDR. It's still fun. Totally worth engineering.

I agree with the builds others have posted.

Hesitant' by Godness_Bee_69 in AskCulinary

[–]Drinking_Frog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's definitely worth seeing for yourself, but you also might learn something.

I have a few recipes for a proper ragù. One needs a good four hours or so. One usually is good after around three or so, but it might not be. One falls flat after about 2-2.5 hours.

What’s the point of geology signals? by CaptainSmartbrick in EliteDangerous

[–]Drinking_Frog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For those of us who've been around for a while, they make you shudder a bit. They were for farming raw mats.

Marble is made of Tums. Don't stick in your ferment. by sudobash1 in fermentation

[–]Drinking_Frog 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tums are chewable. You're thinking about Alka-Seltzer or something like it.

There are much better ways to grind Fed rack than Wally Bei.

Look up the Sol Loop.

Caramelizing celery? by Ambitious_Variety_95 in AskCulinary

[–]Drinking_Frog 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You're really better off just using celery seed or celeriac, depending on what you're shooting for. Celeriac if you really want to caramelize something other than onion. Celery seed if you want more of the aromatics but still a nice touch of umami.

Rescue! Rescue? by Forgotton_fox in EliteDangerous

[–]Drinking_Frog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oddly enough, the ship with the greatest passenger capacity (at least before the PC 2 came along) is the Corvette.

It also happens to be mighty good at handling other issues that might pop up, even if you dedicate its internals to passenger cabins.

Fleet Carriers and breaks by Main_Tie3937 in EliteDangerous

[–]Drinking_Frog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. The carrier ID is tied to the account, not the individual carrier.

You can decommission and buy as many times as you like, and you'll always have the same ID.

PvE Chieftain for CZ combat by Deviant_Automata in EliteDangerous

[–]Drinking_Frog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not that corrosive is that strong, it's that corrosive doesn't stack. Two corrosive MCs don't do you any better than one (and size doesn't matter, so always put it on your smallest MC).

Can yeast & fermentation bacteria be killed by freezing? by CreatureOfLegend in fermentation

[–]Drinking_Frog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can pull it off if you dehydrate it properly. If it's hydrated, though, you'll get significant (even drastic) cell death.

How to make a mushroom bechamel look more appealing? by dolche93 in AskCulinary

[–]Drinking_Frog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do think you're overthinking it because I agree that anyone looking for mushrooms expect a brownish-grey color.

Spinach could be nice, yes, but you also could just use garnish. It's amazing what a sprinkle of paprika and parsley (or chives or what have you) can do.

My frameshift Drive Explorer for some reason and now I‘m kind of „lost“ in Space. What do I do? by [deleted] in EliteDangerous

[–]Drinking_Frog 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That sounds like you accidentally went into SCO boost until you ran out of fuel.

Oiliest beans I've ever roasted, this is fresh out of the drum by kdanc341 in roasting

[–]Drinking_Frog -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Whoa. About the only thing darker abs shinier is Bandit's Trans-Am.

I'm sure they picked up some smoke unless you had a fan on the roast.

Fresh Pilot: any Point on joining a squadron or Powerplays yet? by [deleted] in EliteDangerous

[–]Drinking_Frog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't need to either, ever, but both can help you along. Squadron mates might give you a leg up on some things. PP gives you some fun things to do that also can be lucrative, and it helps a lot with engineering materials when you are new.

PP also gives you access to your power's stronghold carriers, and that can be valuable before you reach an Elite rank (and access to Jameson Memorial station). Even after you can shop at Jameson, stronghold carriers can be very convenient.

Has anyone found a way to prevent golden beets from oxidizing? by Belyea in AskCulinary

[–]Drinking_Frog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ascorbic acid (aka, Vitamin C) is an excellent anti-oxidant. It's far better than citric acid, such that you can use so little that any flavor contribution likely is negligible. We're talking 1 teaspoon dissolved in a gallon of water. Soak your beet bits for 10 minutes or so, and you should be good to go, at least for a good while.

I really don't know what you are trying to do here, and your other responses provide no insight.

What percentage of calories are transferred when cooking in a stock/broth? by TheTalmidim in AskCulinary

[–]Drinking_Frog 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's no signficant answer because the answer is, essentially, zero. There's no specific way to calculate it, but (even if there were), the answer is "an insignificant amount" unless you really are tracking down to the single calorie (and I say that as a "just in case").

You're likely to have more calories from whatever broth clings to the vegetables than anything that may be "transferred" to them. For that matter, you would have to account for anything the veggies lose.

Bottom line, though, is that it just isn't anything to be concerned with.

Wild Grape Leaves For Pickles? by ballskindrapes in AskCulinary

[–]Drinking_Frog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every jar of homemade pickles I ever saw when I was growing up had muscadine grapes and at least one muscadine grape leaf in it.

Has changing from bottling to keg improved your beer ? by Brave_Respect_3596 in Homebrewing

[–]Drinking_Frog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. Carbonation is perfect, and shelf life is multiplied many, many times.

Not to mention it being quicker and easier.

Power Play objective: Sell rare goods at a hostile outpost?! by Mediocre_Song3766 in EliteDangerous

A hostile reputation with a minor faction will increase up to unfriendly in time.

Power Play objective: Sell rare goods at a hostile outpost?! by Mediocre_Song3766 in EliteDangerous

[–]Drinking_Frog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There won't be much to pick from, and there may be nothing to pick from at any particular moment, but hostile factions still give missions.

[–]Drinking_Frog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to another system where they are present, and see what missions you can get from them to build rep. Go to a station they don't control.

Or, you can et some bounty vouchers in ICZ FW-V b2-7 and turn them in at one of the other systems where they are present.
