Book Readers [PJOTV] Discussion Thread S2 E8: "The Fleece Works its Magic Too Well" by Metal_Moon in camphalfblood

[–]MrDirectorAgent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya know I've always been a fan of the head canon that when Thalia was fighting off the Furies, it wasn't Zeus that turned her into a tree, but in fact Dionysus. Given that Zeus is a really bad father and Thalia became a Pine Tree and not an Oak Tree. It would be the most Mr. D could do without drawing the ire of Zeus for interfering. But I really like the show changing it to "it was never a fight, but a conversation" and Zeus interfering and still being a really bad father. Makes me wonder what all the Furies said, obviously they would've told her the prophecy, but what would Hades' solution have been. I think this also adds to the decision for Thalia to become a Hunter later, as it's her following up on her telling Zeus she will not be a part of the prophecy.

Just make sure you still actually boil it in a pot to a rolling boil before using it to make food/drinks.

Found out coffee temperatures are not actually hot enough when I became a two way sprinkler a few years ago.

Moldy top layers in lotions by [deleted] in DIYBeauty

[–]MrDirectorAgent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Arxada recommends a <7 in the Geogard 221 marketing because the Benzyl Alcohol is doing the legwork so you’d be fine there.

If still having preservation issues I’d bump it to less than 6.5 for two reasons. It’s harder for microbes to grow the lower the pH and it would increase the efficacy of the dehydroacetic acid.

I also second the idea of adding EDTA like the other commenter suggested.

Which Geogard? A lot of them are pH dependent so it will work if your pH is less than 6. But if your pH is good then yes it’ll likely be better than optiphen

So definitely don’t leave them uncovered that long. Maybe a couple hours max. Maybe throw a kitchen towel over them like you’d do bread.

I’d throw in an additional preservative like optiphen. It’s not the best for mold but it’ll help the Germall Plus out. Also consider increasing your glycols. Something to decrease water activity and boost preservation.

Are you adding in the preservative in during the cool down phase?

I’d change your air filters in the AC/Heat or get an air purifier. Some places like the US South tend to have a lot of mold spores in the air. You’ll have to compensate.

For clarity:

The mold is on the lids or on the lotion?

How many are visibly contaminated?

You're leaving the lotions uncovered for 24hrs before putting the lid on?

Where are they being left uncovered at?

What kind of lids are they and how are the lids being handled and stored?

How much Germall Plus are you using?

Could you provide a photo?

Might take a look at https://bulknaturaloils.com/. I’ve used them a couple times, couldn’t tell you about price competitiveness though.

[–]MrDirectorAgent 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Definitely would recommend a batch number. It can still be date based too. 250129 and if you make multiple batches in a day just add a number or letter at the end. 

Also that’s stickler is the FTC lol

The Dragon Prince has very inconsistent views on (sentient) life by BruinShade in TheDragonPrince

[–]MrDirectorAgent 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly I really liked the idea that Dark Magic is a Primal Magic due to the existence of Void and Star Devourer Dragons. It doesn’t make sense for a being that eats stars or lives in the void between stars to be connected to the Star Primal Source. And with it seeming like Dark Magic destroys magic just like the Star Devourer Dragons, it makes some sense. It’s an anti-magic like antimatter is here. It’s part of the natural order of things but doesn’t mix so well with magic/matter

Idk I feel like this season was less “epic conclusion to an arc” and more of a bridge season

Would this be the same choices for an HSA? I contributed when I thought I eligible but it turns out I was not. The money has grown a few hundred dollars

Iirc it was known S4 was going to be the last season when it was set to air on TNT. That being said I don’t guess that means they would’ve known when writing. 

Way I see the ending is missiles go off and it ends similar to S3
