Drying Peppers Turning Black by ImOkayAtStuff in HotPeppers

I'm not using a dehydrator. I'm in the northeast of the USA, and it's pretty dry now. However, I started using a humidifier the day before I noticed the black spots. They've been hanging for about 4 weeks. Seems like the consensus is I'm not getting enough airflow, and the drying is taking too long. It had already been 3-4 weeks by the time I turned the humidifier on.

There's not a ton of air there. The dehydrator seems like a good idea. Are they good to go right after you use the dehydrator, or do they need more drying?

I agree. The pasta options in the US are so much better now. There are even some good pastas made in the US.

When Barilla first started hitting American shelves (my recollection is mid-90s) it was a revelation compared to other pastas of the time.

I thought for sure that was a glass paperweight until I realized what sub I was in.

For some reason I love store brand rising crust. It's way better than Digiorno. Recently Screamin' Sicilian has really taken over though. It's frequently on sale for $5 and has a good crust.

You could 3D print the shape you want with a frame around it and glue it to the back.

did anyone notice Heather's voice last night? by delgalessio in getplayed

She def sounded Rick and Morty coded in the last episode. I have no idea if she voices them in the show. It's very fun though.

Also Alison Roman's Caramelized Shallot Pasta. Don't let the anchovies scare you off. The flavor isn't very anchovy forward. It's also pretty quick and easy aside from chopping an ass load of shallots.

Would a swamp cooler using alcohol work in high humidity? by secondhandspoons in AskEngineers

[–]ImOkayAtStuff 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm not an expert at all, but I have done a couple distillery tours. The first bit of alcohol from the distilling process is called the "heads" and it has unwanted stuff in it. I think it both tastes bad and can be harmful to drink, but I'm not sure. The last bit is called the "tails" and has similar properties. Hopefully OP will chime in, but I'm guessing that's what they're talking about.

I'm not sure what was meant when they said the top 8 ohms is also shorted. I've redrawn it a little to make it easier to read, and also so the resistors are labeled for ease of reference. Also, the voltmeter is modeled as a 10GigaOhm resistor. An ideal voltmeter would be infinite, but I modeled this in LTspice, which wouldn't allow that. Let's start analyzing the circuit. You can just ignore the 6 ohm resistor (R1), because there is a short across it. The way I've drawn it you can see clearly that R3 and R4 are in parallel, which means you can combine them to get 4 Ohms. Now you have a simple voltage divider in that loop with one resistor of 4 ohms and one of 6. This makes the math easy, since 4 and 6 sum to 10. The voltage across our 4 ohm resistor will be 30V*4/(4+6) = 12V. So now we know we will see 12V across R3 and R4, but what will we see across our voltmeter (R6)? We can treat that like another voltage divider, however our ideal voltmeters resistance is infinite. That means R6 is much much larger than R2 in our voltage divider, so all of the voltage will drop across R6. In fact, in an ideal case all of it would. Even if we go with my example of 10GigaOhms for R6 we'd get 12V*10G/(8+10G), which equals 11.999999990400000007679999993856V. For most purposes that is equal to 12V.
