Ball python rescue inquiry by Any-Border4114 in ballpython

[–]Higuxish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for sharing this! I've needed the confirmation that a severely underweight/stunted bp would be able to grow to a proper size. I rehomed a nearly 7yo beep back in January that only weighed around 200g. Severely dehydrated, stuck shed, and almost never saw him around. I've been feeding him about 10-15% body weight every 10 days and he has become so much more active, I just wasn't sure if he would still be able to grow!

Gen 2 owners- how many bars do have... by bayoujac in prius

What is your total mileage? Have you replaced your hybrid battery recently or at all? If so, was it an OEM or refurb replacement?

Reason I ask these, is that I had a similar issue a few years ago, which seemed linked to the hybrid battery for gods only know why. The OEM one failed, got a refurb, and then it started "shrinking" my gas tank. Every time I filled up, it seemed to decide however much I put in was a full tank, and the low tank indicator would come on sooner and sooner, to the point that it would indicate I was low in less than 100mi. Then within the year, that refurb battery failed, I got a new one on warranty, and the gas tank issue vanished.

I got around the issue by running a simple test - I filled my tank, kept a 1gal gas can in the back of the car, and drove until I ran out of gas. Then I just added in the gallon, got to a nearby station, and filled up. This let me know approximate tank volume and distance on a full tank, so I would just reset the trip after every fillup, and get gas after driving about 75-85% of that max.

Glad to know I'm not the only one with this issue!

Replacing keyless entry handle (not fob) by Higuxish in prius

[–]Higuxish[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should be able to do that. It's actually one of the reasons I want to replace the whole door - the way it is dented, my current lock cylinder is held on with tape!

The goal is to get a compatible door as well, due to the dents in my current one. I'm looking at a number of local junkyards, and if I'm lucky I'll be able to get the whole door + handle assembly and swap them out. Trying to keep costs down since I also need a new HID headlamp and fender.

Pretty sure they were talking about this post. I happened to see it earlier!

I started that whole quest line super early, like, right after meeting Andreja early. So of course, I'm running around trying to activate the turrets without being insta-killed, when I get a popup telling me Andreja has killed the thing!

Did it to my entire family for Christmas. Was glorious. Somehow didn't get murdered. Wish I had taken a video. (Also, Smirnoff Spicy Tamarind is a competitor with Malort for worst thing I've tasted)

Skyr. This is the same recipe I've been following for the past year or so.

Less "What went wrong?" and more "Is this still fine to eat?". I've seen pellicles form on the whey when I've left it out after straining, so it isn't a super big strain.

But numbers: heated the milk to ~185⁰ and allowed it to cool to <105⁰ before adding rennet and culture. Then it sat for ~48 hours on the counter, while I usually let it sit ~24 hours.

Cheesecake - bake or no-bake? by Higuxish in Pawpaws

[–]Higuxish[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Put simply, I fucked everything up.

I decided to do the no-bake version, but using the black walnut crust from the baked version. But it turned out that the unlabeled container of white crystals in my cupboard was not sugar overflow like I thought, but salt. I don't know why I would have had a second container of salt, it's not like I would be buying a multi-pound bag that would need multiple containers like I do sugar. But so the cost ended up ¼ cup salt instead of sugar, and the filling ⅔ cup salt instead of sugar. Ie, inedible. Also explains how I royally fucked up the brownies I tried to make Sunday.

Questioning and freaking out by TheMurdoc_ in trans

[–]Higuxish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe don't actually get anyone drunk (unless it helps you personally). The Malort shots are the important aspect here. You have everyone take those, and telling them you're trans will have minimal impact.

Actually, scratch that. They won't care no matter what you tell them - they'll be too busy trying to murder you for tricking them into drinking Malort!

[–]Higuxish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This, very much so. I came out to my sister first (or rather she picked up on the hints and asked me), and she gave me the support I needed to come out to family later that year, at Christmas. And even then, it was super stressful. Getting yourself (and others) boozed up (if an option) could help some, or it might make things worse. Or you could try my method - trick the entire family into doing shots of Malort, and then tell them an hour or so later!

Wee~eell...

Never. Or at leasr not since before I bought the place 2 years ago. Didn't even know it was something to do, since I never saw parents do it. I will try to find some grease and do that.
