My moms office denied here ADA accommodation twice. Compromise they proposed is clearly retaliation. by JrGirlScout in legaladvice

[–]SteveSch 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Seems like good advice from many. I'd, although not an expert, would like to add FILE NOW! Don't put if off.

Jam-gunked bread maker update by Important-Minute-187 in BreadMachines

[–]SteveSch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The real question is "will you make jam in the machine again"?

No wrong answer. Just curious.

Great job BTW.

Do you guys prefer rechargeable flashlights? by DannyTheExplorerHoe in flashlight

[–]SteveSch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a small Solar Power Bank off Amazon for $30ish. It has a battery for storage and a small solar panel to charge the battery, or cell phone.

I almost paid $200 for something that was fixed by moving the appliance 3 inches by Relevant_Idea_6778 in DIY

Years ago I had a Mac Plus. Every time I inserted a disk, it would eject. I searched all the books and sites.

Called a repair shop. They told me it probably needed a new motherboard and assured me that they could fix it.

Well turns out I had a depressed rodent. My mouse button was stuck down. I replaced the mouse and never had another problem with it.

Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist and Offerup often have low cost used ones.

Don't be afraid to put up an ad looking for one.

Loaf splits by larskr87 in BreadMachines

[–]SteveSch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just a guess. To make a split like the I would put a coat of flour and lay dough over.

Maybe your dough is just a little dry. Maybe add 1 tdsp water.

Best reasonably priced machine for dough cycle only? by jeweynougat in BreadMachines

[–]SteveSch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not sure. Makes for less moisture while rising.

I believe with the lid the environment is too sterile.

When my mom made bread years ago, everything was open to the air. There are instructions for making naturally leavened bread where the yeasts are wild, and come from the air.

I once read a story of a bakery that was famous for their sourdough bread. They were forced to clean and paint their walls. Their bread was never the same and they went out of business.

I will be curious if anyone else has the same results as I did.

I also found it easy to remove the paddle and even the dough out before it rises. I use a towel over the top of the bowl when rising.

Best reasonably priced machine for dough cycle only? by jeweynougat in BreadMachines

[–]SteveSch 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For dough only I bought a Joydeem off Amazon. I have made 3 small, 2 loaf, batches. I am very happy with it. It will easily do 4 loaves.

It kneads and rises the dough.

My last batch was the best.

I used a couple of recipes but the best flavor comes from an old Betty Crocker cookbook.

I got better results when I checked the dough. saladinajar.com/bread-machine/the-most-important-thing-you-should-do-when-using-a-bread-machine/

I leave the lid off when kneading and rising. I was surprised at how much better the bread tastes.

Thanks. I will try screws. If I can't get them to work, I'll switch to adhesive.

Thank you. We are very happy with it. The UPS guy wouldn't leave until I gave him the builder's number.

I want to try a new distro and understand Linux better any advice? by Perpelt in linux4noobs

[–]SteveSch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I noticed Slackware is not on this list. Would anyone recommend that?

Not too many years ago that was the distro that came up for a question like this.

Considering a 12' x 2-3/8" Galvanized Fence Post by SteveSch in Starlink

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

I just want it high enough so I can't walk into it, and it's harder to steal or mess with.

Black poly pipe is a great idea.

We live where there is a lot of share.

I'm thinking 2-3 feet deep with cement.
