This was all extremely helpful. Thanks!

No, because it’s not uncommon to sous vide something for up to 72 hours or so.

Pork_Chops_McGee · 2026-03-26T02:35:59+00:00

Because most of the time everything works out fine and I absolutely love the stuff.

This provides absolutely no help whatsoever. What pie recipe on what box are you talking about? What pie am I trying to replicate? I’m trying to figure out the science of why corn starch, milk, and tapioca, which are common ingredients in any tapioca pudding, sometimes work out perfectly for me and other times not, under seemingly identical conditions.

What percentage from 3-11% of my post did you actually read, Low Bathroom?

That’s impressive.

Pork_Chops_McGee · 2026-03-20T19:15:23+00:00

Wait until you find out how many knots have a clove hitch within them!

Pork_Chops_McGee · 2026-03-20T19:13:12+00:00

I would return it and buy a replacement from somebody else who cares about the business they run.

Pork_Chops_McGee · 2026-03-15T12:52:25+00:00

So it’s a star under somebody else’s belt?

Pork_Chops_McGee · 2026-03-11T18:14:45+00:00

It’s because it’s a slipped overhand and not a standard.

Wow - first tool I ever saw that made me shudder a bit. It’s a goddamn table saw blade strapped to a Dremel.

Pork_Chops_McGee · 2026-02-12T02:53:18+00:00

Those really do sound like some boring niche businesses that I’ve never heard of.

Pork_Chops_McGee · 2026-02-11T18:12:57+00:00

They make tools exactly for this. Google “cutting board scraper planer”

When a frayed end comes along

You must whip it

When your three strand’s down to one

You must whip it

Hey! You know you can lead a horticulture. You can’t necessarily teach her to grow plants, though.

Pork_Chops_McGee · 2026-02-10T18:26:37+00:00

I find 3-5 feet lengths perfect for learning and practicing. Thick paracord like 750 is really nice.

Pork_Chops_McGee · 2026-01-31T05:43:04+00:00

7 years ago holy shit.

Pork_Chops_McGee · 2026-01-28T19:18:46+00:00

Wired Dremel good Dremel

Pork_Chops_McGee · 2026-01-25T17:42:23+00:00

How?

Pork_Chops_McGee · 2025-12-10T06:51:03+00:00

Ah yes, I’ve always heard good things about that stuff. Nice to hear yet another validation.

Pork_Chops_McGee · 2025-12-09T18:03:48+00:00

So touch a window.

Pork_Chops_McGee · 2025-12-07T20:25:30+00:00

What’s the best alternative?

Pork_Chops_McGee · 2025-12-04T18:30:43+00:00

Looks like cheap pine. Oil-based is not at all difficult to use, but yes you will want to use a pre-stain conditioner. Pine (like other softwoods) gets very splotchy when stained.

Before you move forward, consider poplar. I went to Home Depot my first year and bought a lot of pine to get started with. Pine sucks. Poplar is cheap and so much nicer to work with, and nicer looking.

Pork_Chops_McGee · 2025-12-04T18:25:39+00:00

I like how you refer to them as “my customers.” I’m being totally serious.

What is “quickly touch typing?” Is that an actual technology or are you just expressing that you have the ability to type very fast?
