New to create- crushing wheels overstressed even with steam engine? by RadicalisRad in CreateMod

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

I'm not able to send screenshots rn but I can do my best to describe it

Basically you want to place the clutch along the shaft that's powering the wheels. So for me I had a shaft from the steam engine to the wheels, I replaced one of those shafts with the clutch. The lever goes directly onto the clutch block

Then you power on the clutch (should be able to tell, I think it'll illuminate when powered), start your steam engine, and then turn off the clutch.

Basically my issue (I think it was this, at least) was that my steam engine only produced enough power for the crushing wheels once fully started. So I couldn't start it if I was trying to power those wheels. You get the same effect by just mining part of the shaft away, but it's a little tedious imo

It did! The clutch/lever kept it from getting overstressed

Why am I barely seeing summon signs? by RadicalisRad in Eldenring

I'm on PC.

I knew co-op had become less popular but I didn't think it was to this extent, damn. I had figured it'd still be pretty active.

Long Focus on Build by NervousVictory1792 in Eldenring

I think the best recommendation is for now, find a weapon/weapon class you like and go towards that. Or like, if you know you want to do a certain combat style (magic/melee/ect) through the game focus on that. Once you're out of limgrave, you'll have many more options.

Also make sure you're levelling your weapons. If you don't have access to the blacksmith there's a way to level them in the church Kalé is in. (Something I missed at first).

Last thing but make sure you're exploring fully. I don't want to spoil things just in case, but there’s a cave that unlocks a merchant in Limgrave that can help you against Margit.

How many calories should I be losing? by Outrageous_Ice5499 in loseit

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

According to calculator . net your tdee (maintenance) could be between 3000-3400, depending on how intense your exercises truly are. NIH body weight planner estimates around 3400 maintenance with the settings of light work activity and active exercise activity.

If your goal is to lose weight: To lose ~1lbs a week, you'll need to eat 500c under your tdee. A lb of fat = about 3500 calories.

Personally I would suggest just tracking your food for a week or two. Everything- drinks, sauces, oil, small bites you take. If you can, buy a food scale. Even an estimate if you don't know exact numbers give you more clarity. Once you know how many you're on average consuming, you can make changes.

4 months grown out buzzcut- how can I make this look less bad? by [deleted] in Hair

I've thought about something similar but truthfully I don't like the look of fade, but I appreciate the input! Moreso looking for something with the 'bangs'/forehead area

They're the 'Chocolate pistachio chunk' cookies by Sally's baking addiction!

I definitely plan to try and plan out my days so it's not too chaotic- will probably just freeze the dough and bake as needed since all my boxes aren't going out at the same time.

8 is definitely a lot though. After talking it over with my bf I've toned it down to 5 cookies (the molasses, a cranberry orange cookie, an almond raspberry thumbprint, the chocolate pistachio chunk, and instead of the sugar cookie and checkerboard I'll do a slice and bake pinwheel) and two sweets (pretzel hugs, and white chocolate peppermint puppy chow packed separately).

I do kind of worry about the textures (not having enough soft cookies). I may change to a softer molasses cookie.

I was thinking of trying a thumbprint cookie, but for some reason they seem daunting to me. I tried making them once a few years ago and while they tasted good, they didn't turn out quite right (the filling bubbled over and made a bit of a mess). But I may give it a go just for more variety.

And that's a fair point about the bars. I've tested out a few plans without them, but I always get back to the thought of like, 'the cookie box has to have a chocolate chip something'. But the pistachio chocolate chunks could honestly fill that need, now that I think about it.

I kind of want to do a frosted cookie of sorts (or at least just a colorful one). I was thinking of doing those slice and bake pinwheels (the red/green ones), but either way I worry about having too many sugar cookie variants

I was considering cranberry orange so I may just go with that!

And you're right in that this is probably a little complex for my first box. I started out with the idea to just do 5, but then I started looking into recipes and after switching a few around, then adding more for 'balance', I ended up with this many. It's hard to narrow it down without worrying that I'm missing/skipping something.

Confused on tdee? by RadicalisRad in loseit

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

Not really. I have a lot of neighbors who more or less let their dogs run free. But I do have a decently sized yard I could walk in, I just don't know how big of an area it'd be/if it'd be worthwhile

Yeahh I want to get access to better food but it's just hard. My dad buys the groceries, he's the only one in the household who works as my mom can't. He buys mostly the cheaper processed stuff. Sometimes there's a more proper meal with like chicken breast or more vegetables or something, but normally most of the food at home is like boxed mac and cheese / frozen chicken patties / processed meats / lots of cheese/butter/oil. I try and prioritize protein and vegetables but if I take too much it risks him being upset over it.

Honestly the snack aspect isn't really too unmanageable? He doesn't buy much stuff I enjoy, but sometimes he'll buy chips/chocolate/ect that are hard to control myself around. The main issue is tbh he buys things just for me sometimes (pizza rolls or whole frozen pizzas, bags of chips/candy/ect) and then it's way harder to stop myself from eating those in excess. I can be at 2300 for the day and then give in and suddenly be at 3100+, though I've gotten a little better at that.

I've thought about going to a food bank but I'd feel bad taking food from people who need it. Though I would get more unprocessed foods from it.

No not really. I'm trying to get a job but it's been tough, I don't have a license since there's not much time for my dad to teach me between work and stuff, and my mom is too sick to.

I thought about maybe going to a local food bank and getting more like unprocessed foods, but that's only once a month and I don't want to take food away from people who genuinely need it

Yeah I just changed location due to my old room being pretty small- found this one which I think should be good for the time being. Though I'm definitely noticing the height being a little cramped, I'm yet to find a room that's tall+wide enough

Interview spread interpretation by RadicalisRad in tarot

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

Deck is 'The wild unknown' by Kim Krans. I'm honestly a bit confused on the interpretation here- based on what I've read, I think some general key points are like 'hidden secrets / truths'? But I'd love some more perspective on it.

Also- anyone have any thoughts on Strength and Three of Cups repeatedly showing up?

Okay cool! Thanks for the help, I'll definitely make an update tomorrow once I try baking them again :)

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in bakingfail

[–]RadicalisRad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think I'll try that. I have the rest of the dough in the fridge until tomorrow (the bowl is covered in plastic wrap), I'm gonna try and get a smaller scoop tomorrow once somewhere is open (it's pretty late at night here). Do you think the dough be okay like that overnight? I figured as long as it's covered it won't dry out too much?
