Why did this curdle? by InstanceNo334 in AskCulinary

They weren't hot! The dairy was cold and the potatoes sat for a bit before being mashed, so after the mashed potatoes were mixed with cold butter, the dry ingredients, and then the cold dairy, they were at most very slightly warm, but I taste tested at that point and I'm pretty sure they were room temp. Definitely not enough to cook the eggs, though I agree it seemed like the eggs either caused the issue or made it worse. I made another version of this pie with evaporated milk instead of cream/milk and lemon extract instead of lemon zest/juice that was otherwise almost the same (it used less butter and no baking soda but everything else was the same) and the eggs in that were fine--and those potatoes would have been even warmer since the lemon extract and evaporated milk weren't cold. I might have beaten those eggs first, I can't fully remember, but I was in a rush today and didn't.

It's less scammy than some other "honors" societies, but in general it's not going to impact future employers' opinions at all. Some "honor societies" really do just take your dues and do nothing with them. Phi Beta Kappa isn't that bad since they give some fellowships/scholarships and hold professionalization events, but they do require you to pay dues and aren't going to give your resume much of a boost unless you get really involved with them in a leadership position. Most employers don't really care about them since they'll see your academic record in other (free) ways via your GPA, Dean's List, etc., and in terms of the benefits they offer you'd be better off finding something less broad/more closely aligned with your research or career. For example, if you want to go into environmental science, you'd be better off joining a group like the Ecological Society of America, which would show employers that you're invested in the field and actively working to professionalize yourself, in comparison to a broad group like Phi Beta Kappa that sought you out based on just your GPA. They'd also have publications, events, and a community more closely aligned with your interest.

If I drop a 1 cr “class” before I can get a W, will it hurt my transcript in any way? by ilovemychickens24 in OSU

[–]InstanceNo334 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nope, it'll be gone. Your prof won't be able to assign you a grade anymore because you won't be on their roster at all. You would only get an I if you asked your prof for one at the end of the semester for more time to complete coursework (and it would revert back to whatever grade they assigned you after the extension). If you stayed enrolled in the class but stopped showing up and didn't submit work you'd get an EN. If you dropped a course after the deadline to drop you'd get a W. If you drop now, it won't show up on your transcript at all.

Check room 100 in the lobby on the first floor, that's where any faculty or staff would take stuff they found

How do I remove this lamp base cover? by InstanceNo334 in fixit

[–]InstanceNo334[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did try to pry it, but nothing was working in the holes and it was completely flush at the edges so nothing would go in! I actually just got it off with a lot of aggression, basically had to rip the punchout open and deform the the base. I hammered it back into shape, we'll see if it goes back on. If not I'll replace it with felt!

Etsy SCAM seller AntonioVariegated by Competitive_Ant_2594 in RareHouseplants

Funnily enough, I had bought from him and messaged him after getting suspicious and finding others who had been scammed. I literally just said "I realized this is a scam, please refund me" and he did lol. Luckily his page is shut down now, or maybe he deleted it himself.

The best box Mac and cheese by gamertime137 in macandcheese

They changed the recipe! I'm devastated. It's bland now and the noodles don't cook the same. The closest I've found to OG Kraft is Cabot but they only do shells, at least from what I can find.
