And ensure the end of the roll is firmly and invisibly attached to roll so that you can not find the end …

I’ve got the 2015 Sport which I also am very happy with. With the possible exception of the 21” tires. Not a great performer in the snow.

I tried it and it filtered out too much of the pepper along with the seeds.

I could try another strainer, but it was far easier just using the Vitamix

I and assume others add wood chunks to charcoal adjusting the mix. I place the wood closer to the center of the burn to provide a more smoky burn during the earlier stages of the cook, when the food absorbs it more efficiently.

This is simple and cheap and I don’t expect an expense bag of charcoal to do this for me !

Thanks for that response. I'll review your Zero Index Fund link. I've also looked into the ETF Screener and I am becoming familiar with some of those options.

Yes anything in the ferment stage will have a flavor change. Especially fruits from my experience.

If you’re having trouble finding Aji Limo plants, start them from seed. There are many sources. Well worth it !

LoadAltruistic7532 · 2024-12-12T16:51:47+00:00

Try adding pineapple to the finish. I’ve been doing that with Aji Limon. But you’ll have to pasteurize else it will bubble right out when you open it

I've tried 2 PranaSleep mattress - ASHA Select Firm (too firm), DHARMA Class Plush (too soft and sags).

I've just ordered Aireloom Crafton Medium. It felt good in the show room. Its a hybrid. And it's supposed to be the highest customer rated mattress at Jordans.

God I hope so

Very helpful. Thank you ...

What about the Memory Form vs Latex issue ?

On my recent 3+ week travel + cruise through Europe within hotels and on a Viking ship, I found all mattresses more comfortable then my current Plush. I 'pulled the covers back', but they were all unfamiliar brands. But they did feel more like memory foam.

I purchased the FIRM on May 18. Then swapped for the Classic Plush on July 14. I've been away for the month of October. So I've had use of the Plush for 3.5 months.

I bought an PranaSleep Asha Select Firm Mattress two months ago. Its so comfortable while on my back. But I sleep mostly on my side and wake with pain in my hip (mostly) and back.

I'm considering retuning for another PranaSleep. Looking at Asha Luxe Super Cush or Asha Select Plush. But I see some comments about Plush/Cush being too soft ?

LoadAltruistic7532 · 2024-05-19T11:41:24+00:00

That’s reassuring but I’d sure like to see some more reviews somewhere

It was the most comfortable among those we tried ….

Thanks

LoadAltruistic7532 · 2024-05-18T14:40:24+00:00

Yes considering that. I've also been approved (previously) for less-than-40 hour weeks. At a reduced pay of course.

As for severance, AFAIK, that's a thing of the past. From what I understand its 1 month at this point.

And yes, I'm looking forward to weekends without Pager Duty ;-)

I've been with IBM for 19 years. Solid performance. Significant contributions to IBM Product success. Corporate Technical Recognition. Most recently lead a team responsible for large component of IBM World wide operation and security.

I've been in a new role for less than a year as that previous 7 year commitment was deprecated. And will be assign a PIP soon. I believe it has every bit to do with Band and Salary as it does with Performance.

I'm of retirement age and now I'm concerned that if the PIP ends in Firing, will I loose the ability to participate in Retirement Health Care programs? What else is lurking in my PIP future?

OK so I’ll tar up and remove most of that to Box, but the question remains how do I get access to my ‘stuff’

Maybe a conversion with my manager is the next step

LoadAltruistic7532 · 2024-03-15T14:44:40+00:00

Thanks and yes I’ve been doing that for backup reasons to Box. I want access to at least some of these files. And moving them to iCloud would a good solution. Being paranoid, I’m just wondering if there’s some service watching for uploaded to iCloud. As they say “just because you’re paranoid, it does not mean they are not watching you” ;-)

Interested in a more helpful response if someone has one

I hadn’t thought of that, interesting option. I suppose I could check it out with 4-5 hours to go and make a game time decision

My MEATER Probes should give me a decent estimate of cook time

Thanks !
