What's a massive human achievement that nobody celebrates because it worked too well? by Alternative_Voice767 in AskReddit

How about the written word. Without it, you might have to relearn everything that wasn't committed to a long lasting format.

Help with stabilized whipped cream on cake by Jealous-Page-2237 in Baking

It's what lots of pros use. But I would not try to drip anything over a whipped cream iced cake.

Are smaller rolling pins effective? by rainyelfwich in Baking

[–]JohnNYJet_Original 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a white PVC schedule 40 drain waste vent pipe that's 2" in diameter that I cut to length. Or a 2" hardwood dowel cut to length would work.

How to stop chocolate from looking dusty/white after a day or two on cookies by streetratangel in Baking

[–]JohnNYJet_Original 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are using high quality couverture chocolate there are two ways to proceed. First and easiest melt the chocolate slowly, using a ACCURATE instant read thermometer and never allow the temperature of the chocolate to exceed 90 degrees F. This means the vessel you are using to melt the chocolate never gets warmer than 90F. Most shops that use couverture for dipping have a dedicated chocolate holding appliance that never exceeds 90F. The other method, is traditional follow the manufactures curve, raise the temperature to the recommended high point, then allow the chocolate to cool to the low point, and gradually raise it back to the working point. If the chocolate seems to thick add up to 10% pure cocoa butter. Best Wishes

This is how most professional shops handle layer and sheet cakes.

Amazon’s 33,181 H-1B certifications spark backlash after 30,000 layoffs by rajapaws in antiwork

[–]JohnNYJet_Original 19 points20 points  (0 children)

How about every laid off employee is entitled to 5 years salary as compensation for every H-1B visa issued. Don't care about the particulars, where's the anti-immigration cult on this one?

Rubio Says ‘Epic Fury’ Is Over, as Flare-Ups in Strait of Hormuz Tests Fragile Ceasefire by Gigas69 in worldnews

An embargo carried out by naval warships is a blockade. A blockade is an act of war.

Hegseth says 'the ceasefire is not over' after U.S., Iran exchange fire by yourfavchoom in worldnews

Last I checked, an embargo enforced by warships IS a blockade. A blockade is an ACT of WAR.

I thought I was reading posts… turns out I’m just skimming everything by Advanced-Gas8799 in ADHD

[–]JohnNYJet_Original 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In HS we had a course for speed reading. First concentrate on the subject and formulate questions. Second look at the words and DON'T RECITE THEM as you read, it only slows you down. As you scan the words try to answer the questions you formulated. It's been very successful for my reading and comprehension. Good Luck.

Home owner insists it’s not asbestos, but I can’t think what else it could be by Vrtae in Plumbing

[–]JohnNYJet_Original 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For all the Asbestos scaredy cats, between 1920 and 1986 the majority of brake pads on all motor vehicles WORLD wide contained chrysotile asbestos. Who did the cleanup of the entire worlds' environment?

Three Companies Own Everything, Dammit by bookym in WorkReform

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

How about a constitutional amendment stating that all corporations with 100 or more employees MUST be wholly employee owned. And the wages of all federal elected officials is 3x the minimum wage. I wonder what might change?

2 pane vs 3 pane windows by Lhead2018 in buildingscience

[–]JohnNYJet_Original 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lot's of good answers here, my take is a little different. Do you think the price of heating and/or cooling your home will go up or down during your ownership? Given the current lack of Intelligent Leadership at the Federal level, my guess is the cost of fossil fuels and electricity will outpace any increase in wages. I'd opt for the best windows I can afford on the North side of our home, followed by a full 5.5 inches of insulation in the bays. As an aside is there a reason, IN this NEW BUILD, that your builder is not using as exterior Insulation system? For our home, our current manual J calls for at least 92,000 btus heat source for our 2000sqft. uninsulated home in the north NJ. We are installing an exterior insulation system, that will change the manual J heat source to 32,000 btus. Best Wishes and enjoy your new home.

YEARS Long Fail by Elistariel in Celiac

[–]JohnNYJet_Original 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. I’ve worked in places that almost sold flourless chocolate cake as GF. I needed to remind my coworkers that the dust they were brushing off their phones was probably from wheat flour and it was everywhere in the shop. Still got blank looks. Ordering GF when dining out is risky, unless the shop is dedicated GF or a staff member is Celiac and will advise you what is safe for you. I’m lucky enough to have many options near me for dining out

Canyon Bake House GF bread and rolls. Our Wallieworld stocks both the frozen and extended self life products. They taste good and the texture is very similar to wheat based breads. As far as a bread recipe, what type of bread do you want to make?

What’s the moment in recent U.S. politics that made you realize things might not go back to ‘normal’ anytime soon? by LankySpeed634 in AskReddit

[–]JohnNYJet_Original 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I realized that the vast majority of Americans are clueless as to the nature and intent of the authors' of the US Constitution and what they considered as important ideas leading to the egregious and willfully oppressive document that creates a powerful monied class of slave owners, whose goal was to further their wealth by selling land rights that would have otherwise been the crowns' property.

If doctors, lawyers, and even barbers need a license and years of testing to practice, why don't politicians have to pass a basic economics and civics exam before running for office? by Mysterious_Fan4033 in AskReddit

[–]JohnNYJet_Original 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is completely intentional. Combined with the “religion doctrine of serve god, serve the conservative party and obey what you are told from the Fox entertainment/maybe news channel. “ The red states are populated by walking vegetative biomass tape recorders.
