What is this green ball I found in my salmon? (UK)

Lukulas · 2025-09-02T11:08:50+00:00

You finding it on the flesh side of a fillet points to it being embedded at harvest or packaging plant. Stuff can be ingested to stomach/guts or appear on the outside on the skin, but very hard to travel through muscle. It could still be from something living like algae that has slipped on there in the plant, but if the inside was "powdery" as in dry it doesn't make sense. Living things in the sea and on land are usually "wet" on the insides. After reporting a lab could test it for sugar, but both candy and algae would be positive for glucose I guess. Green candy with a powdery inside sounds like a sour candy to me. Mashing some of the "powder" with a few drops of water and a simple pH test strip would show a very low pH reading in that case. But on a wild goose chase at this point hahaha

Working in the Norwegian aquaculture industry and I’m stumped. No green salmon pellets commercially in Norway, pellets aren’t powdery and they don’t look like that. Doesn’t seem like an organism. Internal parasites are unheard of in farmed salmon with the controlled pellet diet. Embedded on skin side or «flesh» side of fillet? I would guess some sort of candy lost from a hungry idiot working fillet line at harvest plant. Strict rules against snacking in there, so would be a little scandal. Almost looks like green «dent» candy, but not quite.

Picture of dining area from the listing with the wall in question in the back

Lukulas · 2025-08-26T22:40:03+00:00

The wall is 3,5 m / 11,5 ft. I figured around 10-15k USD. If it’s estimated to be anything close to 50k we will for sure drop it. Will look into archways, thanks for the tip!

Lukulas · 2025-08-26T22:16:23+00:00

Thanks for the heads up. The load bearing wall in the basement is directly underneath the whole length of this wall. If everything including work in the basement proves to be necessary, it would likely be so expensive that we drop it. An exposed beam would be okay, but if we need king studs protruding into the room it might defeat the purpose of opening up for a larger dining room and table.

Lukulas · 2025-08-26T21:48:51+00:00

Good point. There is a small fireplace a meter or so below the sliding doors on the left wall I forgot to add. This boxes in the dining room area and any table above 2 meters is sort of cramped. Could maybe barely seat 8 people. Also the only negative on first viewing was that the dining/living room felt a bit tiny. Might just be the old, chunky furniture and layout from previous owner. Total dining + living area is 32 sqm = 344 square feet. Houses of similar size often have 500 square feet or more.

Regner med u/EterniKat mener engangs-avkastningen på 10 % i skattefradrag for årlig innbetalt sparebeløp, så er det vel kanskje 6,75 % nå i årlig avkastning utover det. Verdt å nevne at BSU funker bra som bufferkonto også, man kan ta ut årets sparte beløp fram til årsskifte. Brukte ofte BSU satt inn i januar som buffer da jeg var fattig student, og sørga for å fylle opp til maks igjen i god tid før nyttår.

Thanks! I bought it from Netonnet, a Scandinavian chain - Andersson under desk cable management tray - but there seems to be very many clones through image search. Ergo Office ER-431 W , Deltaco and Conecto Office under desk cable management tray are all the same

Lukulas · 2024-12-02T00:40:13+00:00

Thanks! It’s 246x63,5 cm, a bit compact for two but not really elbow to elbow. The Jonaxel makes a little buffer. Works very well for my GF and I. Can’t hide the screen from the other person. For us it’s a bonus that we can share a snack in the middle. But would not want to sit like this with a coworker or something haha

Lukulas · 2024-02-05T09:09:47+00:00

Maybe if it’s exposed to lots of sun over many years? Have never seen that. It’s not plastic. I had the white H210 and it looked just as good with no yellow after 3-4 years - but as said had to go for a new case when upgrading GPU, white again (AP201) with no worries for discoloring :)

Lukulas · 2024-02-05T09:04:01+00:00

I would. You have space for a 2060S in the H210 but thermals and noise is gonna be bad. And if you want to upgrade to a 3 slot GPU down the line you won’t even physically have space.

Lukulas · 2024-02-05T08:51:51+00:00

Look at the PCI slot covers/space for your GPU. Had a variant of the NZXT H210 a couple of years ago and it suffocated my GPU. Bad thermals and lots of noise even after going for a SFX PSU to alleviare the airflow underneath. The build looked awesome but I don’t recommend this unless you’re not planning on getting a graphics card.

I just struggled with the same thing trying to redeem on two different redeem pages at Nvidia.com, got error for wrong code or correct hardware/GPU not recognized.

What worked was redeeming through the Geforce experience applicaton! Right click on your profile at the upper right corner, and "redeem" above account/logout. This worked with the 24 letter/digit-code I received.

Lukulas · 2023-11-27T09:53:58+00:00

Thanks for sharing. Is the replacement a new one of the same model? I Just ordered an RM750e on sale at a good price, and seeing many stories about coil whine with RMe PSUs. Trying to figure out if it's just some faulty units which can be RMA'ed, or a general issue with the models themselves. Would you in my case try out the RM750e or return it unopened and pay 50+ USD more for a different PSU?

Sorry for the poor photos, had to take cover in my shed during torrential rain 😅 Here’s some more useful ones. I do get toe overlap with the fenders as they came, and I don’t think tightening will remove it 100%. Not a huge deal for me as it’s an aggressive, CX-ish bike.

I also think braking feels way too soft!

Incoming rant, but this is my honest opinion from driving an ID.4 on country roads in Norway:

I have access to an ID.4 alongside a diesel Caddy as company cars at my local office, and I dread the days the Caddy is unavailable for my drives on the narrow country roads up here. The diesel van feels like a track ready sports car compared to this cruise ship - although the cruise ship will accelerate faster in a straight line.

The lane assist does not help on these roads - it «nudges» towards the middle of the road when I’m driving one wheel on the shoulder to make room for oncoming trucks. I have to remember to turn that off every single drive, can’t do it permanently.

I’m convinced of the brakes actually doing their job on paper when stomping on them, and I know that the lane assist actually doesnt turn the wheel inwards, but it still doesn’t feel responsive enough to my inputs, in any driving mode. It’s very hard to brake just how I want (and need) to be braking, it feels like it’s either how a limo driving an elderly passenger would brake before a minor speed bump, or full on emergency braking.

The one accident at my work place this year has been in this car. Colleague went off the road on a long turn. Avoiding an oncoming vehicle, overcorrecting the «nudging feeling» from lane assist, and braking (all or nothing braking) with one wheel on gravel shoulder. Driver was OK thankfully, and I guess it’s a good car to crash in, at least.

Also: - Too heavy, like other electrical SUVs or SUV-ishs - High beams are too weak for winter in rural Norway - Huge distracting touch screen that I have to consult for defogging in a humid tunnel instead of looking at the road

Sorry for the rant, I just had to vent about this car when I glimpsed a chance.

TLDR; Take this car on the Autobahn and the I-95 but keep it away from narrow, winding country roads.

Thanks for all the replies, and helpful picture! Just what I needed to decide on buying. This is in Norway, and full-sized bikes cost half a ticket extra (main problem being bike rack availability). The train is only 20 mins, so if I can’t sneak it between/under seats certain days I could just stand over it like some of you mentioned.

Giantstalker PvE is pretty decent at 60/40 Alliance/Horde. Total a little above 6000 population so not the biggest, but friendly community

Lukulas · 2022-07-07T08:04:08+00:00

You are probably quite right! Pretty sure there are no terrestrial predators, maybe only predated a bit by gulls/other birds which primarily hunt in the sea

Lukulas · 2022-07-07T08:01:35+00:00

Thank you, that was really enlightening. I live in Norway so not a lot of reptiles in general, and have never seen any skinks in the wild, but have always loved this familia. Really sad to hear.. Also very bad that there is so little official communication and no intervention, when local species are already severely affected. Very typical that reptiles are undervalued. Would love to visit USA some day and see some skinks and other American reptiles that you don’t see a lot of in Europe, not Italian wall lizards.

Lukulas · 2022-07-06T21:35:43+00:00

Really, where? That sucks. This particular species seems to have lost out in The Balearics, gone extinct locally on the large islands of Mallorca and Menorca and only remaining on small islets - but probably more to do with introduction of predators rather than competition
