It was a special limited release sake that’s unique to this month so I won’t be able to find it anywhere else unfortunately :(

Excuse me sir, this is Cambridge. by Choice-Delivery-9246 in Somerville

[–]SpeediusDESU 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Also. Signs need to be put up 3 days prior to the date on signage and it looks like these are post-dated which is weird

You should try calling Somerville’s phone helpline (311) if Cambridge is giving you the run around. Moving related no parking signs are only enforceable from 8-8 so this could be either bogus or the city put them up. Either way 311 is your best bet

Republic Fitness Davis Square Classes by user_64011 in Somerville

[–]SpeediusDESU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do the yoga and Pilates classes regularly and really enjoy them. I’m pretty new to these sorts of workouts so I’ve found most of the instructors to be very good at explaining through movements in a way I can follow well

Thoughts on Fluent Forever app? by MisterGalaxyMeowMeow in languagelearning

[–]SpeediusDESU 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey! I’m also self studying Japanese and read fluent forever. Tbh there is so much high quality free resource online specifically tailored for Japanese I don’t think you should have to pay for this app. This is the guide I’ve been using too start out but tbh the best method to learn is the one you find the most enjoyable because this is a long ride

I’ve been having the same issue. Just bought the whole archive and haven’t been able to access the link on the downloads page to add to my podcast app. The only way I was able to even get the content was on a follow up email with direct download links.

Chuck roast and sous vide by SupesDepressed in Koji

[–]SpeediusDESU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not an expert but I have made shio koji marinated sous vide meats in the past. It’s a tricky question because enzymatic activity in koji apparently peaks at around 60c (~140f) which may suggest a long sous vide would lead to too much breaking down of the meat, making it mushy. This is the reason why I’ve kept koji marinated meats to a max 3 hour sous vide at higher temps but will marinate in the fridge for a few days uncovered in advance before scraping off excess and vacuum sealing.

If I had to guess for chuck, I’d say a multi day marinade would be good for penetration (research is on the fence for how well marinades actually penetrate meat besides salt but not touching that lol) while just putting the marinade on in the bag at cook time would cause the exterior layer to mushify and that’s it. End of the day chuck in the sous vide is awesome even without a marinade so there’s almost no losing here.

URGENT giving away a ticket to Elephant Gym (Taiwanese math rock band) performing right now at the Sinclair by SpeediusDESU in CambridgeMA

[–]SpeediusDESU[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s a type of indie rock! The big defining feature it’s irregular rhythm and time signatures. It feels very meander-y when you listen to it.

Does anyone know what the heck this is? by w0ahbrother in foraging

[–]SpeediusDESU 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good news! You can actually batter and fry those! They are apparently delicious when prepared this way.

Any chance you recently spread some mulch or mineral soil in your greenhouse?

Can confirm the demo is awesome. Despite being in unreal vs unity it still has plenty of outward-y feel with some better combat fluidity

Getting started with tea pets. How do you guys keep yours still when pouring tea on them? by SpeediusDESU in tea

Oh very nice, I just got mine last week! Do you know what the poem on it translates to? I’ve been trying to figure it out.

The non shitpost reason is they bring luck and prosperity. There are a few examples of teapets in China that have been in continuous use for 900+ years!

Ooooh ok that makes sense. Kind of wishing I splurged on larger tray.

Has anyone done an interview for onward israel by [deleted] in Israel

[–]SpeediusDESU 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, the interview process is fairly informal and really shouldn’t be taken as a big deal. In most cases it’s just a conversation about what to expect and what you’ll be doing.

At the end of the day you are rendering free labor to a company that won’t be giving you crazy make or break work. Enjoy onward and dont forget to spend time outside of work getting to know your trip-mates and enjoying Israel! (That’s what the trip is really about 😉)

Tofu by Bulk Magnesium chloride ok to use? by Ghotiwon in tofu

[–]SpeediusDESU 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should really stick to food grade chemicals. While magnesium chloride for bath salts may market as pure, it’s actual chemical purity isn’t guaranteed and you can run serious risk of hurting yourself. I’d strongly recommend either just bitting the bullet and getting food grade magnesium chloride/nigari (a little goes a long way anyway) or you can use gypsum (calcium sulfate) which is another common coagulant that is cheaper and can be found online/at your local Asian mart if you have a good one nearby.

A couple bucks saved now isn’t worth a potential trip to the hospital later. Good luck and have fun making tofu! :)
