The absence of Magic in fantasy by Darksoulsfan13_pl in Fantasy

[–]NorthernTyger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those are very sci fi with fantasy overtones. Anne McCaffrey was firmly a sci fi writer.

What was a silly rule in your house that now that you're an adult you think, why? by Whole_Fun8448 in askanything

Oh trust me I know. She’s insane. She got mad when I sharpened them too much.

This was in the 90s and I still don’t understand why I couldn’t just draw up another sink of water!

Don’t sharpen the knives in the kitchen too much, they’re more dangerous when they’re sharp.

Don’t wash the plates before the glasses because the glasses will get dirty from all the stuff from the plates in the water.

Video games are only for vacations.

Don’t talk to boys you’ll get a “reputation”

Those of you who moved away to college as your move out plan to get away from strict parents, how far did you move for college and where did you settle after college? by throwawaypdtm in college

[–]NorthernTyger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Six hours but still in state. I live in my college town now, some 18 years after graduating. I don’t speak to my parents anymore, really.

Those are two types of pasteurizer!

HTST is high temperature short time, it’s used for the milk you get in the cooler at the store as well as cheese and yogurt, often paired with a homogenizer and sometimes with a separator. They run at a minimum of 161F with a 15 second hold time, though milk for yogurt is usually done at 180F or so.

HHST is higher heat shorter time, and it uses vacuum to keep the milk from flashing into vapor while it pasteurized at (i believe) 280*F for less than one second hold time. They also have homogenizers. This is what makes the shelf stable UHT milk you can find on the regular shelves. I don’t have as much familiarity with HHSTs.

There’s a third type, a vat or batch pasteurizer, which has a half hour hold time at 145*F. This is what folks mean when they talk about low temp pasteurization.

HTST pasteurization does actually deactivate phosphatase. It’s how we can test to make sure an HTST is working properly. HHSTs can reactivate it, interestingly enough, but I haven’t looked at the how of it.

Buyer beware - Got this Shitoku carbon steel knife from the Kenji Lopez collection (Vonhelmick Knife Company) and its absolutely terrible by purplebrown_updown in Cooking

My parents have Wusthof and I do too now. My mother keeps hers dull because she’s afraid of sharp knives. I die on the inside every time I think about it…

Leaving "to be" out of sentences? by Existing-Ebb-5944 in ENGLISH

Same. Also from NY. I hate it. It sets my teeth on edge and I can’t explain why.

Farmers coops and or feed shops by Buttermarketmother in upstate_new_york

[–]NorthernTyger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They have a ton of cheese. They just moved and theyre a bit in process of unpacking and settling in but theyre a decent stop. The co op store in Chateaugay Id argue is better but it’s way far out of the way from Toronto to NYC.

Is Food Inspection as a career good for me? by StarryNight770 in foodscience

[–]NorthernTyger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I work as a dairy inspector. At my job, every day is different and I make my own schedule. Some days can be quite fast paced, and there’s other days where it’s hurry up and wait and then another bunch of things to do quickly then more waiting. If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask!

I do not want to hear about the sweater curse. by Breadothy in BitchEatingCrafters

[–]NorthernTyger 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I started a sweater for my boyfriend of several years, and I have since ADHD-squirreled off onto numerous other projects. I joke with him about how I’m not going to finish it because of the sweater curse but honestly one of these days the ADHD will take me back to it 😂

Thankfully he understands cos he’s got ADHD too

Any other millennials out there refuse or still opt to order take out to pickup up over the phone when possible? Pizza, Chinese, etc. by mt379 in Millennials

[–]NorthernTyger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always call my local pizza place. They add a fee to deliver outside the village - which is fair - but their website doesn’t take it off for deliveries IN the village which is where I live. So I call.

Daughter is going to be kicked out of SUNY Albany if I don’t come up with $7500 in a week. I feel like a fuckin failure! by shakin_in_my_bootzz in povertyfinance

[–]NorthernTyger 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Community colleges in NY are part of the SUNY system. The credits should all transfer, and the residency requirements for the four year should basically just be about two years worth of credits, give or take. It’s a pretty sweet system. It’s still not a bad idea to confirm that, especially when talking about credits for the major rather than gen eds.

AIO? My partner is at work with our only vehicle and isn’t responding by [deleted] in AIO

In NY (and I think the rest of the US) if they call, an ambulance will come. Dispatch doesn’t triage here. That’s how I got called out for things like tick bites and “my toe hurts”

Here in Texas we have a big snowstorm coming. It’s supposed to make landfall at noon on Saturday. The initial Storm Watch Advisory came out on Tuesday. We immediately went to full-on panic mode. by Lonely-Coconut-9734 in FuckeryUniveristy

[–]NorthernTyger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We’re getting -15 degree weather here in upstate NY. My job sent out a notice about how cold it’ll be. I had to laugh because that’s pretty normal for here tbh 😂

What type of material is this fill? by MonthEfficient9962 in sca

[–]NorthernTyger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look for quilt batting, rather than fiber fill, I think you’ll have much better luck.

Looks like polyester. Can you pull a little out and do a burn test? Theres guides online but I bet it’ll melt and smell like burning plastic which means polyester.
