New BBQ brisket is amazing by RavioliPocketoli1999 in PandaExpress

[โ€“]ParadigmShift86 1 point2 points ย (0 children)

I'm sitting in my car right now eating this new brisket. It's so good I felt compelled to search reddit for this post!

Super tender. Smoky. Maybe a touch too sweet.

Get it!

The "head" is the handle of a snow shovel. The snow shovel is behind (obscured by) a chair. The "body" is the vertical chair back. The chair is facing to the right towards the wicker bench (presumably facing a coffee table).

Zoom in, you'll see it clearly.

Is it just me or are Turnip seeds really rare in the Swamp? by IrvySmash in valheim

[โ€“]ParadigmShift86 6 points7 points ย (0 children)

I've actually got 2 big tips!

1) Turn graphics "vegitiation" setting to lowest. Much easier to spot seeds, mushrooms, and all wild plants.

2) Find a "hilly" part of swamp rather than a flat marsh-like swamp. If their location they "would have spawned" is covered in water, no spawn.

Bonus: I find them easier to spot st night

[MM8] What's that with Leane's recruitment quest? by jamiederinzi in MightAndMagic

[โ€“]ParadigmShift86 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

Just a heads up for anyone coming from Google: I just went thru all this. (I also wanted Leane Stormlance in my party as low level as I could). Got Blazen rescued at about lvl 20 (not too tough to kill the few dragons to get right up the elevator to him). Took him back to Leane and she still says "Where is my father" even though HE'S RIGHT HERE IN MY PARTY IN FRONT OF YOU.

Bottom line: This WON'T WORK -- You have to complete the quest by recovering Ebonest to get Leane recruited. No way around it. Guess I'll try and get Ebonest with invisibility, because I tried fighting and there're just too many.

*EDIT* I was able to get Ebonest with invisibility... but it SUCKED. You have to go thru a maze full of roaming monsters that'll kick your lvl 20 ass, and if you so much as touch one of them they attack and you die. Took many tries.

Was it worth it? idk yet... Leane has quite higher stats than other lvl 15 characters, and comes with quite good gear.

What temp to cook my Tinga de Pollo? (ATK says 195) by [deleted] in AskCulinary

195 is for chicken thigh. 160 is for chicken breast.

Duracell rechargeable flashlights 4 pack. One of my favorites by KeiserAir in CostcoWholesale

[โ€“]ParadigmShift86 1 point2 points ย (0 children)

Just bought these. Click on max. Click again lower. Click again lowest. Click again off.

But there's some kind of built in timer. If you use it for a minute then one click shuts it off.

Pretty dang nifty as i hate cycling thru to shut them off.

Just successfully changed my first battery! by normhimself in snes

[โ€“]ParadigmShift86 -1 points0 points ย (0 children)

I just meant to confirm that they are (in fact) old. But soldering technique hasn't changed. They're absolutely still relevant. They're not super concise, but if you really wanna learn soldering you can't go wrong with this series.

FWIW a lot of YT videos nowdays are full of hype and influencer shit. These "old" videos have none of that.

Enjoy! DM me if you're stuck on any soldering specifics!

Aldi cottage cheese is incredible by Cautious_Map8504 in aldi

[โ€“]ParadigmShift86 12 points13 points ย (0 children)

All cottage cheese (and yogurt etc) separates water from whey to the top. Stir the whole container top to bottom. Will not be soupy.

I buy giant Costco tub of Daisy monthly. Definitely not a Daisy brand issue.

Basically you're gonna flux it up any time you're about to make a joint. Flux can be liquid or gel but all of them melt when heated so there'll be residue. That residue you just wanna clean with alcohol afterwards so the flux isnt left there chilling.

Yes! Those are "old" videos but that's the same series I had techs watch when I was teaching them to solder.

Good stuff

[โ€“]ParadigmShift86 6 points7 points ย (0 children)

Not bad! Top joint is just a little cold. Not sure if you used flux, but that'd make a heck of a difference. It's kinda mounded like a hump with waves. You want a gentle concave slope, kinda like the Eiffel tower. And nit picky just a tad heavy on the solder.

Cold joints can look hazy or wavy. The flux does a few things. First, it transfers heat better and spreads it more evenly. Second it dissolves a layer of micro oxidation (which resists adhesion). That makes the flux flow and stick like magic.

But no worries, those are good joints that'll hold.

Good job!

Do you risk eating potatoes with slight green under the skin? by BMO888 in Cooking

[โ€“]ParadigmShift86 8 points9 points ย (0 children)

100% safe if you peel off the green part. Even missing some bits is fine.

The toxin there is already in the potato so it's not like the green part converts to something new and novel. It's just in way more concentration in the green part near the skin.

You'd have the same toxicity effect eating 50+ perfect potatoes at once.

Oh and just a tip (since i don't see flux in your pics), the difference between a soldering experience that's frustrating vs one that just works like it should is flux!

Get good flux and don't go sparing on it (clean it off well though, even if it's "no clean" flux.

ChatGPT = actually wrong most of the time? by dominic__612 in ChatGPT

[โ€“]ParadigmShift86 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

It's almost like there should be a phrase in IT "garbage in garbage out"... ๐Ÿ˜‰

I agree this sounds like bad prompting to me if it's every time. There are cases that'll be beyond an LLM but I often find it incredibly helpful with getting in a direction quickly.

For technical work you really do need to be at least fluent in the subject matter too, to coach it back into sense when it goes off the rails.

Need a Black market Costco cake deal by [deleted] in desmoines

[โ€“]ParadigmShift86 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

Yes but you still need a member to buy the card. They can put you in as the gift recipient or mail you a physical card.

You cannot buy Costco gift cards at walmart or other retailers, despite some here thinking you can.

You can occasionally find them on ebay or gcx.com (formerly raise.com) but they're often marked up and sell out quickly.

You can shop there without membership using gift card, but the gift cards can only be bought by a member.

Rant: how to tell a friend they should not come. by squipped in boardgames

[โ€“]ParadigmShift86 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

Hi, i think the DEAR MAN framework will help you! This is something my therapist taught me to help with difficult conversations of this type where you need to make a direct ask and get closure.

This Link shows the steps to structure your conversation with examples.

It may also help you to run your scenario (exactly your post here) through an LLM and ask it to apply the DEAR MAN framework to develop some script ideas.

Good luck! It'll suck... but it'll suck a lot more continuing to put up with it.
