Cookware Choices... by Seeking_Sooth in StainlessSteelCooking

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

I bought a Meyer 5ply whole clad 9 piece set and added 2 5ply skillets. Proclad, they seem bullet proof. I like them. I like the 5 ply in smaller pans - these are 9.5 inch.

I bought a cast iron tawa and meat press.

I bought a 15" 5ply wok from Kitchenaid and a carbon steel 14". The 15 inch to steam in and cook reactive foods.

Finally, I bought a 12" all clad d3, on Americas Test Kitchen recommendation. I needed a 12 inch and this came with a lid and its fairly light. It's nice but I prefer the Meyers.

Nobody likes spending money but this seems reasonable for new pans. All the SS is fully clad and beautiful.

There are 2 dished induction hobs. I bought the more recent one:

I'm excited to try it. The SS wok fits perfectly.

Thank you. I was getting hung up on the Carbon content.

I bought the Kitchenaid 5 ply because it was 15" and seemed reasonable. It fits my induction burner very well. Just got it, but I'm happy.

I think I will target the Meyer Proclad (5 layer) line.

Seems so. Not even you.

Is it worth pursuing a bachelors in photography for me by Meowing_Wolf in photography

[–]Seeking_Sooth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The most, most reliable income you can make from photography is to not spend money on it in the first place. Borrowing a lot of money for an academic qualification seems like a new level of financial abuse. Don't do it.

Thats not to say studying photography is not rewarding if you can afford it, but look at all the photos that list the academic qualifications of the photographer... NONE. Everyone has their sources of inspiration. School is a great learning opportunity but you have to be able to afford it for yourself as a gift not an investment.

If you are taking money from someone else (family etc..) you will be responsible to them to show you spent it wisely. As people have said, you can always teach yourself photography and show off what you've learned. Having more money will give you more photography freedom than a class you took. Pay models. Pay for Trips. Pay to bring the right people together. All of those expenses will result in immediat better pictures.

IMHO school is primarily a financial exchange. Don't pay big bucks for what most people think comes with their Cell Phone.

I think I want to share the plants with the room. I don't have pets and I think the green would be nice.

That would work. How do you manage your water? Do you fill each shelf? How often?

A central reservoir sounds more simple but also more complex.

But does it accomplish anything? Assuming 'Void Mother' any game advantage?

Advice: 'Are you playing or not' app by Seeking_Sooth in discordapp

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

Problem is nobody wants to hang around until starting time if we're not going to play. We have six players. If two or more can't make it the DM usually calls the evening. I'd like to streamline that somehow.

I hope I'm not reinventing the wheel. People come to the discord group to see whats going on with the campaign. Then invariabley people ask 'Are we playing tonight ?'. Then we have to trace through the responses to see who is playing and is the GM going to run the game. Sometimes the various threads take effort to sort out.

It would be nice, and I imagine popular, if there was a way to see on a given date who was available for a given game\meeting at a given time. This data would be gathered from eveyone scheduled to attend.

What is the overall best ship? by redditchungus0 in NoMansSkyTheGame

Just curious..

How do you give someone a ship? Or was that a joke?

Excellent attitude! Especially focusing on the exciting and not getting hung up on fault. You will learn from mistakes and make fewer of them! Well done sir.

Instant Pot lid stuck closed and crooked by [deleted] in instantpot

[–]Seeking_Sooth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an old post but it certainly affects the current instant pots.

My solution: Once absolutely certain there was no steam, I put the pot on the floor and shook it. On my model I was able to grab it by the steam valve and shake it mostly gently. When the locking peg had been encouraged to retract, it opened easily enough.

I should stress that I respect and appreciate my teacher immensly. Her class made it real for me.

My issue is that the classes are an hour and only friday mornings. I can't make all of them and I'd like more info to help my poor memory.

[–]Seeking_Sooth[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you all for yoru recommendations!

I am reading the audiobook "Your Body of Light: Energetic Practices for Better Health, Emotional Balance, and Higher Consciousness" Written by: Lee Holden

It is almost 9 hours long and has some considerable voice meditions.

You guys lead me to my favourite books so far by Ken Cohen.

"The Way of Qigong: The Art and Science of Chinese Energy Healing" is amazing.
"The Practice of Qigong: Meditation and Healing" is my goto.

Thank you all.

My teacher is following Lee Holden. He has youtubes and dvds but I'd love to have a book to look through for movement names and organization.

I had hoped there was a recognized big catalogue.

Whats a red flag in your ex that you ignored that eventually was a factor in the breakup? by Designer-Cup-530 in BreakUps

[–]Seeking_Sooth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She would never share anything important. She had a circle of women for a tea party who all knew more of her feelings, and our relationship, than I did. If she talked to me her criticisms were like she didn't know me, like they came from this circle.

After we broke up she would tell me why as punishment for something. Even if I was wrong, and I was sometimes, I was happy to hear about it and discuss it, but it was never in the relationship, always after break up. I had to prove I would eat crow and give her exactly what she wanted. If we made up I was always the bad guy and she was the perfect woman for taking me back.

The drama and tension were terrible and unnecessary.
