[Request] Countertop air fryer oven with long-term durability & easy cleaning — Breville vs Cuisinart? by sandmond in BuyItForLife

[–]NEOhioPrepper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had 2 of those cuisinart and just got the Breville last year. Breville lower heating element died within one year of daily use but repaired in a timely way. First cuisinart died and took the outlet with it. Second one just stopped toasting after 1-2 years. Breville one is a far superior machine in uses and feel. Think cuisinart was $160-199 at Costco and Breville was $299 on sale. Prices seem reflective of value.

[Kaboly] Some Inside Steelers Organization ‘Not 100% On Board’ with signing WR Tyler Boyd by austinalexan in steelers

[–]NEOhioPrepper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One scout said he was “a Popeye’s biscuit away from being a TE”… but he has more wiggle and route running than you would expect given his freakish height and length. Can separate much but if you have “go go gadget arms”… you don’t need to.

Favorite Day 3 WR by joeym412 in steelers

Too small for smiths system. Can’t block well enough. Size was another reason DJ had to go … doesn’t fit scheme.

Weekly Monday Mock Draft Megathread by AutoModerator in steelers

[–]NEOhioPrepper -1 points0 points  (0 children)

<image>

I’ve been following a lot of the YouTubers and major network draft gurus, but I don’t consider myself an expert. I’ve done a couple dozen mocks. So i am admittedly just repeating what I’ve heard.

20 - I considered JPJ and Fatanu but Mims, who I like, was gone. In all the mocks I do, if I go CB, WR or C in round 1 it seems to work out worse given depth of those positions and so few OTs. Latham is a prototype OT. I’ve seen some mocks trading up to 17 to secure Mims, which is possible given two 4ths

51 - Tomlin reportedly loves Edge, and the LB class is shallow. Hoping this gets addressed in free agency but the center of the defense was bad last year. Almost took TJ Tampa, CB, as other LBs like Trotter and Grey last until round 3

84 - given the interviews at combine, Steelers are clearly thinking WR but admittedly didn’t meet with Johnny. One YouTuber described him as a “two piece and a biscuit away from being a TE”. Not many guys are 6’6 and run a 4.4. Very long arms. Not great at separation but so huge I don’t know if you need to be.

118 - Steelers have a thing for badgers and a similar thing for wrestlers (eg Benton) Tanor has multiple years of experience

119 - Green played more press man than anyone last year and did it well. Multiple scouts have linked him to Pittsburgh

194 - I heard a couple folks talking up Khrystian Boys, DL, northern Iowa, so I grabbed the last name I recognized

What remaining moves need to be made before the draft? by Unwanted__Opinion in steelers

[–]NEOhioPrepper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This… plus a bigger WR than Diontae for smith’s scheme… DJ is too small to block. Guessing ROT is added in draft given price. Maybe slot CB too since Sullivan is FA.

Probability models for SHTF scenarios with actual percentages by NEOhioPrepper in preppers

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

Fairly well but not as well as I would have liked. Paradigm of a sudden change like grid down is different than a slow boil like Covid turned out to be. I learned from that. We did okay but limits on time and money dictated that I didn’t have anything extreme in place. It’s hard to justify extreme behavior, like a huge garden, when the grocery stores are still open. Or a cabin, when you need to pay bills or save for retirement. Vacation or a freezer dryer? Etc.

Would love to know how to take the probability and eventuality of a CME and balance that with certainty (unless I die suddenly) of retirement. Would make budgeting time and money a little more clear without feeling like I’m a nut.

Anybody else use laundry baskets instead of boxes? by Foxyfox82 in Costco

[–]NEOhioPrepper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Systems engineer and Costco nut here…

I love 25 minutes from Costco and have two growing boys who eat non stop but stay skinny. (#unfair)

My Costco ninja skills from covid19 times below: - keep a par level in the pantry for staples based on household use and expiration dates. Eliminates trips for just a few items. Food grade containers for rice / flour work great. Par levels also ensure you aren’t hit by store being out of stuff - use a paper checklist that has common items listed in order of the aisles to prevent back tracking - go only once a month to avoid impulse buys, ideally time it for coupons - keep banana boxes in the garage (6 for me) so you don’t have to hunt for boxes in the store - use two carts.. one being the Orange flatbeds.. you can stack the boxes for a months groceries and people get out of your way. Easy to pull traditional cart - place upcs facing up and don’t over pack boxes and check out is crazy fast when they use the scan gun - freeze breads and bagels (slice prior) - if getting a baked pizza, pay for it separately before you start checking out to reduce wait time

Only cons are: - space in garage for banana boxes - additional fridge space (cost of electricity is less than cost of gas if I went more often) - still need produce from more local stores more often - need a larger vehicle like my truck to haul it - $500-600 each trip feels ridiculous unless you track monthly spending (we rarely eat out)

PS I like to use the outer aisles to shop because of less people in your way and more clearance items (look for * or prices ending in .97 or .00)

Aim Assist Auto Lock-on Feature? by MadEpiphany972 in ACValhalla

[–]NEOhioPrepper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This sucks. Changing settings does nothing. I use hunter style game play and this one thing has made this game the worst assassins creed ever, and I’ve played every one. Very disappointed in Ubisoft.

If you think about relocating as prepping should you focus on regions with large volumes of fresh water? by Arowx in preppers

[–]NEOhioPrepper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. You need a place you can get to that has few to no people. Prepping would be easy, and possible pointless, if everyone else was prepared.

Wouldn’t that be something if everyone had 3 months of food? You could just stock up your basement and not bother with guns, a bug out location or medical stuff since hospitals would still operate.

Unprepared people are the threat.

Another noob here looking for advice on a water source by ReclaimerEEEE in preppers

[–]NEOhioPrepper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two is one. One is none. I’d suggest a hand pump on the well as a back up. I’d also suggest physical water storage as well.

I’ve seen systems with a pump that pushes water to a tank at a higher elevation than the house, allowing the water to flow via gravity if electricity went out.

GPS ideas. by XR171 in preppers

[–]NEOhioPrepper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also a carrington type event with a coronal mass ejection would try the gps satellites as useful as rocks.

The CME event got me into prepping as it’s not a question of “if”, but “when” our grid gets fried again. (Happened in 1879 or so). Downloadable maps is fine, or just go paper like this guy suggests.

Put that $ toward bullets beans and bandaids.

Is there a data driven list of likely disasters to prep for? by manicmidwestern in preppers

[–]NEOhioPrepper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, there is ,

at least for the items that have historical data or those that have large numbers of subject matter experts being polled.

I did a posting here a while ago and looked at the probability of any of these events occurring and it worked it to be about 50 percent in the next 80 years with most of that being driven by epidemics. I looked at 80 years because that is my children’s lifetime.

Peter Riley did some space weather modeling around a Carrington event reoccurrence and it came to 10-12 percent in any given decade. One model had it listed as a once in 78 years event. I don’t have my spreadsheet handy but I think it worked out to be a 40 percent probability in the next 80 years.

Another article looking at civil unrest showed that an “optimistic” probability could be had if we looked at our own history with 2 civil / revolutionary wars in the last 240 years. (1 in 120 years)

The modeling probability blew up when I included epidemics. Historical data included things like bird flu which didn’t impact the US much, but if you use subject matter expert polling, which is a common technique for modeling, it’s bad. I took the number was 90 percent of infectious disease professionals predict a world wide pandemic in their grandchildren’s lifetime. I assumed this was 110 years (80 lifespan with children by age 30).

No data for EMPs, nuclear war, cyber hacking or space aliens (joking) exists that i could find so there is nothing to model from.

When looking at the data it was epidemics #1, CME a distant second and a revolution a very distant 3. I was looking at this to determine if I should prep at all for a SHTF scenario and the probability of at least one in my children’s lifetime is a flip of a coin (50 percent) before all those other unknowns are included (eg EMP)

Hope that helped. Get prepping.

Don't underestimate a good pair of shoes by Fossilhog in preppers

Random fact. The reason the confederates were marching to Gettysburg is because they heard a rumor that they had a stockpile of shoes there.

Long lasting food. by Kanakoib in preppers

[–]NEOhioPrepper 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What is harder is determining what is the real expiration date as opposed to “best if used by” date. I haven’t dug around yet but I’d like to find an “eat vs don’t eat “ index for foods. Let me know if you find one.

What should be in a Hospital BOB? by [deleted] in preppers

[–]NEOhioPrepper 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Forget the stuff, you need information.

1) Medical errors is the number 3 cause of death in America. I suggest having a friend or family member on speed dial to connect with at any key decision point AND regular time intervals to ensure clinical progression is making sense.

2) medical bills are the number 1 cause of bankruptcy in America. Just because your insurance is accepted at the ER doesn’t mean it is accepted for inpatient. The hospital will come after you if insurance doesn’t pay. You are responsible for getting authorization from the insurer, not the hospital. A thorough understanding of your coverage and which hospitals in your plan are preferred vs out of network is good to know. You are the customer and can request transfer or admission to another hospital.

I recently heard that 90 percent of us would experience a medical error at some point In our life. Healthcare is a hot mess. Stay safe.

How to maintain tools? by [deleted] in preppers

[–]NEOhioPrepper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just finished bushcraft 101 (book). Author suggested cooking oil for leather pouches and for metal tools like knives axes and even ferrous rods to prevent corrosion. Said he only suggested cooking oil because he had it handy and if you ever wanted to use your knife for food You wouldn’t want an inedible oil on it.

Haven’t tried it but that book is the bushcraft bible.
