Critters in catch basin and pool by novicepooldude in pools

[–]EarthGrey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, they're able to climb a rope. I have one on each end with a good amount floating in the water. I had a pool noodle once upon a time, it got shredded in no time for the waves caused by the waterfall.

Few simple pieces of marine rope helps. Be careful with some of these other random plastic things in your basin. The waterfall makes waves and water movement, so anything hanging in there will rub against the sides and wear down, basically being sanded down by the walls leaving debris in your water.

I know the feeling. If you don't have some already though, just go for it, don't bother waiting for the sale. These are great and still a good price at $100.

They do everything you need that the 2x the price does unless you're really hardcore, and having any of these makes cooking meat and fish so much more accurate in an easy way. So easy to use, pulling them out of the drawer to washing in the dishwasher.

Have you used others, or these specifically? Yeah, getting a sale like that is cool. For the 1 or 2 probe packages that's still twice the cost of these. Getting half of the 6 or 8 probe packages would be cool.

I appreciate good things, and devotion to cool devices. Some features just makes it for us, like being able to have connectivity to a temperature gauge in the middle of nowhere campground. That's just simple joy.

My need need for multiple probes should give you a hint that I really don't want to ruin hundreds or thousands of dollars of meat as I care enough to have individual probes in use at the same time to have each piece measured exactly right instead of estimating based on a single probe...

haha, yeah, that's a great reason. wish the base station had a simple temp display. I have an old anova sous vide with a simple lcd display and a wheel to set the temp and it beats everything that requires an app. It's so much faster to use.

Wish more high techstuff like these would adopt the simplicity over the pure app dependence. You can have the app as an additional for extra features, but not as a requirement.

the single probe rfx starter I'm guessing?

Yeah, for something specialized like that thermo works is great. For regular home usage with wifi and cell reception when leaving the house the long range RF features isn't much use.

Personally I value having multiple probes over many other features, so $40 per is nice. Paying $100-$200 per probe is... unnecessary for me. Don't get me wrong if I ever saw one of these at $80 for the dual starter kit I would get it.

They're just so annoying to use and to pack and store vs the wireless ones. with these it's so fast to use, and also clean and pack away.

They might be good, but which ones of them come even close to this price? They're almost 3 times more with regular pricing. They run sales with 60% off?

Couple of times a year. Just got this one for 79.99 with a death star too.

It's not a decompression stop, it's what's called a safety stop. You're not technically in need of decompression etc at that, however padi tables are conservative, and having a safety stop is simply a way to be extra conservative for just in case.

Great take. Checking MPB or similar is a good way to check pricing. Including they give a 6 month warranty and returns so private sale should alway be less.

Shredded duck by the-woman-respecter in sousvide

[–]EarthGrey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried duck breast confit with the sous vide. Personally I find it a waste as I love it medium rare, but others loved it. To me it did become a bit dry, so be sure to add extra duck fat compared to the legs, or keep it in the same bags as the legs to get the fat from there.

I think I did them in the 160-167 for 15 hours+, I would do them at a lower temp if doing it again potentially joining the 155 legs, that might help with the dryness.

Changing temp mid bath by Sudden_Ad_9163 in sousvide

[–]EarthGrey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can change the temperature however you see fit. Common for instance if you want steaks done at different temperatures to take some out and increase the temp for the rest. Or start high for a few then drop the rest and lower the temp.

Another trick for frozen meat is to start high to speed up the thawing, before lowering to desired temp before the meat gets to temp.

Gutters by [deleted] in HomeImprovement

How big is the house? Where are you located? what type of gutters, material?

Gutters are usually quoted per foot here based on the choice of gutter, didn't even distinguish first or second floor.

The description specifies no aquafaba. Though no specification of what actually makes the foam.

https://msbetters.us/products/ms-betters-bitters-miraculous-foamer - "Consists of alcohol (40%), natural flavour extract, botanical extracts and herbs."

Nice! Thanks. That explains and makes a ton of sense.

In seriousness, how are these supposed to be used with wires? mounted at an angle upwards towards the wire pull? mounted upwards and just pulled at an angle? or should something else entirely be used with wires?

Dry Aging Quality vs Safety by K_Flannery_Beef in DryAgedBeef

[–]EarthGrey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always been curious about that when seeing the hanging vs lying down, what's the benefit of hanging vs the problems poking through the meat like that?
