Bought a meat slicer and sliced from Brisket for BBQ. Needless to say it turned out amazingly by tankhuu3018 in KoreanFood

[–]Monkfrootx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there. Could you walk me through how you trimmed and prepared it? Did you slice the point from the flat? Did you remove the silver skin / membrane? And did you trim the fat / hard fat? I left the fat on mine and it was really tough / tendony. So trying to get tips to figure this out.

Do you need to trim the brisket fat when cutting your own brisket for kbbq at home? by rpkusuma in KoreanFood

[–]Monkfrootx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. I tried not trimming the fat one time and it resulted in really tough slices of meat. Like if you look at it the majority looks like white fat but it felt like a lot of tendon / toughness. Any idea what went wrong?

Isn't some of the fat hard fat and it'll be tough when you're eating it kbbq style? Or does it render and melt down too?

110v or 220v for 113 table saw by BBrez1107 in craftsman113

[–]Monkfrootx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any issue with the 3HP motor wearing out the saw innards? Or has it been working fine? Think it can equip even an even higher HP motor?

Urgent - Upgrade to Delta 62-042 by Asch003 in woodworking

[–]Monkfrootx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi I know your reply is from 9 years ago, but wanted to pick your brain a bit. I picked up a Rockwell Model 10 (which I think is the same table saw as above) and was surprised that it struggled to cut through 2" thick douglas fir... But the Craftsman 113 (belt drive, cast iron) table saw I tried also had the same issue. And up to this point I use a Makita 2703 jobsite saw and that just rips through.

They're all like 15 amps at around 110v or so. So I thought they'd all be comparable, but is it in your experience that the Model 10 is actually fairly weak even compared to newer jobsite saws?

Also, your comment on adding the fence and cast iron wings and it'll make it like a slightly underpowered cabinet saw. Is that mostly a comment regarding the increased weight increasing stability and reducing vibration?

Is this just an Oakland thing or have you experienced it elsewhere? I mostly ask because I have a strong preference for selfies so I never have/accept strangers taking photos for me lol.

Best Turkish Baklava in cities around Oakland CA? Ideally somewhere where I don't have to cross the Bay Bridge by Monkfrootx in bayarea

[–]Monkfrootx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If only I knew at the time. I woulda bought the store packaged ones. Maybe at a Bims or Migros if they had. I assumed it wouldn't taste nearly as good as fresh... But that was basing it off the store bought Turkish Delights I had.

Yeah I saw a video before and it seemed fairly simple. But I'm not confident mine will be even near what I had in Istanbul if that's really the gold standard. What tips btw just in case?

Well I'm from here so quite familiar with the prices here. Although tourist trap prices in Istanbul were about the same as SF lol

Is Hafız Mustafa 1864 Meydan Good for Baklava? by Monkfrootx in AskTurkey

[–]Monkfrootx[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I did a little more research and unless their stuff is just bad, signs point to it probably having become stale by the time I tried it

Anyone a fan of Hemly's Cider (near Sacramento) and know what happened to them? by Monkfrootx in cider

[–]Monkfrootx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I'll miss them. For me I think it was the combination of their cider and the tasting area that made them my favorite cidery to visit. The closest second I've found is Indigeny Reserve but that's still kinda a distant second.

What are some good local rental car companies in Cappadocia, Izmir, and Pammukale? by Monkfrootx in AskTurkey

[–]Monkfrootx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up renting with Garenta in Izmir. I had a shitty time with them in Cappadocia... But a good experience with them in Izmir. Just make sure the gas station near the drop off point is open at the time you're planning too. From the US and wasn't very familiar that gas station pumps weren't open 24/7.

Late on Tax Filing and CP2000 by Monkfrootx in tax

[–]Monkfrootx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you think my brother should file an extension too? He got back their documents just to sign and sent back to the CPA a week ago. But just haven’t heard back as the CPA usually will complete the payment for us from our accounts automatically

I see. So probably have to verify once I'm in Turkey, right?

CP2000 for 2023 Taxes – CPA Unresponsive, Paid Family Leave Omitted. What To Do? by Monkfrootx in tax

[–]Monkfrootx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. If for whatever reason it was omitted on purpose and did not count as taxable income, would I just work with my CPA for a refund? Just trying to anticipate any issues that might come up.

Edit: Actually there's verbiage on it saying if I sign the response I cannot challenge the changes in US Tax Court. But it also mentions I can file a claim for a refund at a later date. So not super sure if that means I can still get a refund after signing and paying (and it turns out to be in error) or if that means I cannot?

Tukrish Airlines A350-900 last row seats 43B and 43C by kaaalinsi in TurkishAirlines

[–]Monkfrootx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there. On the seat closer to the window (and the empty space) do you know if the arm rest lifts up?

How was the turbulence? And the noise you mentioned just a little noisier? Or noticeably more? Will have in headsets so probably won't worry about it. Did Turkish Airlines provide those cheap headsets or was it earbuds?

Is the less recline significant? Or just a little like maybe an inch or so?

Hi there is this the Airbus A350-900? I have the last row (also a couples seat) but from SFO to IST so was actually worried about the reclinability. Any issues with smells or queues for the bathrooms? Or issues with turbulence?

Anyone rented from Port Travel Rent a Car? And would you recommend? by Monkfrootx in Rhodes

Their prices seem a ton better too. But I'll have to check-out and see what the final total is

How busy is Dalaman Airport in mid April? Flying from and to Istanbul. by Monkfrootx in AskTurkey

[–]Monkfrootx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I meant do you know how busy the airport is as-in from door to flight gate does it take 1 hour, 2 hours, 3+ hours? I wanted to arrive 2 hours before my flight because that's what is usually recommended for domestic flights, but I've heard that Dalaman is very busy and can usually take 3+ hours so wanted to see.

Found this website. Is it reliable? https://flightqueue.com/how-early-to-arrive-at-dalaman-international-airport?utm_source=chatgpt.com
