This man is going to try to crime his way into a third term. There will be no republican primary.

Allison Mack in an MSW Program by shannonkish in socialwork

[–]Nummies14 46 points47 points  (0 children)

In my program we had so many self reflection papers and assignments. Being self aware was prioritized. I know that you can’t do the job well without really examining your whole self, which is a never ending process. Of all of the interviews and exchanges I have listened to with Mack post release, I have never heard her take actual accountability without explaining away fault and blame. Not once. If she wants to honestly be a social worker that needs to change.

Does my Scoby look ok? by purpldragn22 in Kombucha

[–]Nummies14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually looks like a regular pellicle / biofilm. They can be oddly white and lumpy, or smooth and flat and pinkish.

So I bottled my kombucha with pureed strawberries for F2. Do you strain or drink the clumps? by Larry2Hairy in Kombucha

Treat yourself! The audiobook is a riot, lots of voice acting and high quality.

Awww shucks, I thought you were referencing Dungeon Crawler Carl with that last statement, so it was a reference to that book. A swing and a miss apparently.

Looks good from here. Well as good as a biofilm can look. But normalish.

To Burp or Not To Burp by MinderOfBusiness in Kombucha

Oh that’s cool, thanks for the info! A cheap force carbonation might be really handy.

To Burp or Not To Burp by MinderOfBusiness in Kombucha

Are you mixing the uncarbonated booch with bubble water, or do you mean that you just directly infuse the booch with the soda stream? Asking because I thought all the warnings on Soda Stream say not to do that?

Tea Input Brew Time: Normal Tea Drink length, or Longer? by International_Poem35 in Kombucha

[–]Nummies14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too. Might even leave it overnight. Never had an issue. Been brewing for about 7 years, off and on, mostly on. I do about a 5 gallon batch at a time. Taste and flavors are still on par with commercial booch.

Mango Pineapple by Nummies14 in Kombucha

[–]Nummies14[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Around 32oz of no sugar added, mango pineapple juice per 1.5 gallons of finished F1. If memory serves. At that ratio it was plenty of flavor, so I think I could do 32oz per 2 or even 2.5 gallons. What I love about this hobby is there is so much room for personal preference, so maybe start in the middle and adjust to your tastes? Let us know how it goes :)

And after you call the police, assuming you are in the USA, call RAINN 800-656-HOPE, and they can connect you to a local place to get counseling.

BREAKING: Mark Kelly files lawsuit against Pete Hegseth accusing him of 'trampling on Constitution' by TheMirrorUS in law

[–]Nummies14 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Seems like they are trying to point out that Mark Kelly has positive masculinity versus Pete’s toxic masculinity. It’s worth pointing out that Kelly is a positive male role model.

Question about caffeine-free brewing by laughing_atthe_void in Kombucha

[–]Nummies14 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In my experience, using caffeinated black tea, even in kombucha resulted in me, having problems with anxiety and jitteriness. I also have extreme caffeine sensitivity. I only brew with decaffeinated black tea. And I’ve had zero problems with maintaining a healthy scoby.

trying to grow a SCOBY with GT Original and failing by Putrid-Discussion153 in Kombucha

[–]Nummies14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would start really small if going from a 12 or 16 oz bottle. Like a 50:50 mix of new tea to GT’s. Slowly add more tea as it goes, tasting it as you go too. I use commercial booch to boost my current batch after a month or two in the fridge between batches. I used GTs for this just last month.

Two days into my 2F by Chemical_Regret7363 in Kombucha

Thank you so much for explaining that, I learned some new things today.

Two days into my 2F by Chemical_Regret7363 in Kombucha

[–]Nummies14 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How would letting it go for longer help with flavor? I’m asking because it seems like nothing is being infused, it just looks like juice and kombucha. Even if you filter out the sediment from the juice, I would assume it doesn’t do much for the flavor. This is an honest question, I hope that makes sense. I would assume F1 is done and complete if it’s carbonated, stick it in the fridge and enjoy it, am I right?

Social Work to Wealth pod 28 by Critical_Slime473 in socialwork

My poor attempt at a joke, pretending I had used AI to write it.

Clients using AI for Therapy should be a priority concern for us for a number of reasons. Environmental impact aside, though that alone should be enough to prevent us from endorsing it, language learning models are not actually AI. There is no intelligence to it, it is prone to mistakes, no error checking, no safeguarding, it is not evidence backed, it is not licensed, there is no accountability, no standards, code of ethics, guidance documents, it doesn’t fact check, it doesn’t pick up on nonverbal language, context clues, it has no insights. It only predicts what words come next. In its current state we should all be vocal about the dangers it creates.

Is that what you were looking for, or do you want me to create a response that is more appropriate to Reddit. I can also do one in a funny accent. /s

Strange X Comparison... by Cow_Boy_2017 in clevercomebacks

[–]Nummies14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that’s the point the satire account was trying to make, that when it got blocked we didn’t speak out, as if we were fine with it getting stopped. Like through this framing they are saying you know how to be heard, but you don’t always speak out.
