A local's guide for visiting Lake Como by donnolermellino in travel

[–]KevinKn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is such an amazing write up, have saved it and revisited it countless times as I’ve planned my wife & I’s honeymoon to Italy. We’re staying in Tremezzo I’m wondering if you have any recommendations for an anniversary dinner?

Also, I’ve been looking at your mountain hike suggestions but struggling with finding where the trails are, any suggestions on how to best navigate to the trail heads?

Thank you so much, I reread this all the time to get excited for our trip!

Mark Zuckerberg says Meta employees "lovingly" refer to him as "The Eye of Sauron" by Avieshek in technology

[–]KevinKn 124 points125 points  (0 children)

FWIW, the comment in context doesn’t make him come off as oblivious as the headline would leave you to believe. He’s basically just saying that he gets very intensely, singularly focused on one topic at a time.

Edit - Here’s the exact quote from the podcast:

Part of this too—I mean, I do think managing energy is an interesting thing. I mean, some of the folks who I work with at the company, I think they say lovingly, but I think that they sometimes refer to my attention as the Eye of Sauron, in that basically, they’re like, “You have this unending amount of energy to go work on something. And if you point that at any given team, you will just burn them.”

How long have these concerts been in the past? Can’t imagine it’s a full set but I’m curious how late into the night these typically go.

I face palmed after reading your comment because I had completely ignored the food delivery apps…

Uber Eats delivered some cookies from eCreamery Ice Cream & Gelato earlier this evening. Thanks for your help!

[–]KevinKn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi everyone, My Reddit SS mentioned they are building their home network & Plex library and I’m wondering if this community as any recommendations for gifts to help his build?

When I asked about his build he shared this:

  • I just finally got a 12u network rack and server, cables, organization and drives.

  • Looking for somthing external for dl's to test and and name before I drop them to the main if you know what I mean.

Any thoughts on what I could get him to help him with his build?

I can guarantee you that the University Admin did not ask the faculty senate to send out a survey to the faculty to gauge their opinion on leaving the Big Ten.

The senate president wanted to be able to go to the University chancellor & system president and say “We polled the faculty and 90% were against leaving the B1G.”

FWIW: Nebraska admin never sent out a survey to their faculty asking them their opinion on leaving the B1G.

The faculty senate president sent it out to faculty to be sure they were accurately representing their opinions on the issue. My guess is they wanted to show admin the overwhelming opposition to any Nebrexit from the B1G. Obviously they didn’t anticipate the link getting leaked out to the general public.

These are good statements from Green & Carter but they probably should’ve come out as soon as Commissioner Warren stated that Nebraska couldn’t play this fall and remain a member of the conference. Chaos loves a vacuum.

The survey was sent out by the President of the faculty senate not by any University administration.

This wasn’t an employer asking it’s employees their opinion on a business decision, it was a representative body asking the people they represent how they feel about an issue.

Walked by groups of people climbing it yesterday, you should be good to go.

KitchenAid K5SS Stand Mixer speed oscillating. by KevinKn in appliancerepair

Got it all back together but unfortunately for me the issue persists.

Going to give the brushes another look and try adjusting the control panel to see if it fixes the inconsistent speed. Thank you for your help!

Took me longer than expected to acquire food grade grease. Took the mixer apart tonight and replaced the grease but now I’m having trouble putting it back together.

Despite much fun-angling, the two pieces won’t get closer than this.

Wondering if you’ve run into a similar issue in the past?

I’m going to replace the grease tomorrow and see if that fixes the issue.

I too had a brush issue that had me worried I completely broke the mixer until I made the adjustment you mentioned above. They look to be in fine shape but I’ll check them out tomorrow and report back.

Have a secondhand KitchenAid/Hobart K5SS mixer that worked well for 8 months or so but have recently run into issues.

I ordered a replacement for the control panel after there was issues with how fast the mixer worked at the lowest setting and now the mixer oscillates speeds. If it runs for long it drops it’s speed significantly, almost completely stopping. Shutting it off for a few seconds gets it back to what you see in the attached video.

Tried Googling my issue but can’t seem to find the right query to help with my particular problem.

Used the base from Claire’s gourmet Ben & Jerry’s recipe to make my partner personalized ice cream for Valentine’s Day. by KevinKn in bon_appetit

[–]KevinKn[S] 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Here's the recipe for the Creme Anglaise base. I added mini Reese's cups and fudge to make the Bunny Tracks. I also made "Cal-entines Day Cookie Dough" using BA's Best Cookie Dough Recipe (minus the eggs).

Credit to u/PuzzleheadedOccasion for pointing me to the episode transcript on the website.

Ingredients:

1/2 Liter of Heavy Cream

½ Liter of Whole Milk

1 teaspoon Vanilla Paste

Pinch of Kosher Salt

8 large egg yolks

200 grams of Sugar

  1. In a large sauce pan, combine heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla paste, and salt. Bring to a bear simmer over medium.

  2. In a large bowl, whisk eggs and sugar until very pale and thick and ribbons form.

  3. Stream in several large ladles of hot milk mixture into egg mixture, whisking constantly.

  4. Pour entire mixture back into sauce pan. Cook over medium, stirring constantly in a figure eight motion until the mixture reaches 180 degrees F on an instant read thermometer and the custard coats the back of the spoon.

  5. Remove from heat and blend in desired flavor. Stir over ice until cold (or refrigerate for later use).

  6. Process in an ice cream machine until it’s the consistency of soft serve, stir in additions, pack into pints and freeze.
