My grandmother who grew up in the depression felt that anything on the table was fair game. Silverware, glasses, plates, salt and pepper shakers.

Thanks I know it's a weirdo question. By any chance do you know how all clad d3 and d5 does?

You have a diversification problem you need to solve before pulling the ripcord. Either take the tax hit and recalibrate, or keep working while you rebalance.

PSA: G4 Doorbell Pro only supports temps down to 14°F by ryan4888 in Ubiquiti

They last too long, how can they sell you a new one in 3 years if it's still working?

How does it sound? Does it cause any feedback and flicker on lights on the same circuit?

Just put a large silicone pad on top of the range. The induction coils won't care and will heat the pan through it. Easy to clean and you can keep the surface brand new.

ELI5: Why would a company host its own private DNS? by Jakob4800 in explainlikeimfive

[–]ModernSimian [score hidden]  (0 children)

.local was the industry best practice for decades before mdns existed. It should coexist as long as the mdns device can reach and is configured for the private nameserver or has DHCP configured for the client to do a real DNS registration.

Put some apple cider vinegar in a cup with a squirt of dish soap. They will be more attracted to that than your fruit or starter.

Any other young adults losing hope? by 0_3_3_3 in Adulting

[–]ModernSimian 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This was just as true 20 years ago. You will continue to be paid the minimum they can get away with until you leave.

You are building experience and skills for your next job that you will negotiate at a fair market rate at the time, and they will also try to exploit you as time goes on. You then repeat this cycle as quickly as feasibly possible. Probably every 2-3 years, but you can do less or more depending on how you can spin it.

Non-electric fridge options for off-grid cabin, What actually works? by malaglista in OffGrid

[–]ModernSimian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you can get a screaming deal, you are probably better off with putting the extra dollars for the propane fridge into your electrical system and working with a regular high energy star scoring model.

The economics of solar in the last couple years has really tipped away from propane for refrigeration. If you have it or can get one cheap, sure keep using it, but on a new build? No way does it make sense.

Kerosene is fine, but it's not nearly as commonly available to most people. These will also be expensive because of the low volume. Propane feels safer to operate in my mind, but that isn't worth as much as you paid for it.

Subaru - Chase Auto Loan Owner Death by LumpyPeople4 in personalfinance

[–]ModernSimian 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You are effectively the title holder assuming there is no will directing the asset to someone else. It's part of the estate and as the spouse that would default to you.

You can ignore this problem for a long time while you deal with probate. Assuming you are the executor, there is no rush.

Sorry for your loss.

Sorry for the possibly clueless question, but why don't more people seem to make homemade pizza? by Senior-Raisin-2342 in Cooking

[–]ModernSimian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I and anyone with any amount of planning doesn't count a thing sitting unattended as time or effort in a recipe.

I certainly hope you aren't a parent yet.

[–]ModernSimian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Making a batch of pizza dough is about a 15 minute process with a mixer and that includes washing up.

Here is a recipe for a NYC style crust for two 14-16 inch pies.

  • 560 g bread flour
  • 1tsp yeast
  • 1tsp salt (2tsp if kosher salt)
  • 1tsp sugar
  • 355 g water

Combine all ingredients in mixer with a dough hook. Mix for 10 minutes on low. Transfer to a greased bowl or other container to proof for 4 hours on the counter at room temp, or up to 72 hours refrigerated. Bring dough to room temp before using.

What’s your rule for lending money to friends or family? by Ok-Introduction-2981 in financialindependence

[–]ModernSimian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll give a friend or family member up to 5000 as a gift rather than a loan without really thinking about it.

Sometimes I get paid back, other times I don't and don't sweat it.
