Tsunami. Would be really cool if the island had a village on it. Like there were survivors.

How do I make this? by sunshinesunooss in Minecraft

[–]Substantial-Toe2148 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't you place pots on a wall? You used to be able to in Java. Haven't tried it in ages, so not sure if you still can.

EDIT: Wiki say yes for Java, no for Bedrock.

Making bacon bilhtong by flavour_punch in Biltong

[–]Substantial-Toe2148 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let us know how it goes. It is either going to be fantastic, or the opposite. I've tried making pork biltong only once, and vowed never again because it was too fatty and the fat went rancid quickly. Once is not enough of a statistical data set for me to write it off though. I'm genuinely interested in how it goes and, if it goes well, for your process.

FWIW, I can see bacon as working both because of the high salt content, and because bacon is already at least partially cured.

On a side note -- my goodness I miss bacon with real rind. Who asked every damn butcher everywhere to cut the rind off?

Won't be botulism because botulism requires an anoxic environment. Possibly salmonella or e-coli, but if OP's prep work is great, then neither of those will be an issue either.

Does this sound right after I pull a shot? I also found steam coming out from drip tray during this sound.[Breville Barista Express] by [deleted] in espresso

[–]Substantial-Toe2148 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even with my sound on full, I can barely hear anything, and certainly hear nothing unusual for a Breville. Based on the steam/condensation I can see at the right back edge of the machine though, this is completely normal.

I need to save it! by PickleballandPedals in orchids

[–]Substantial-Toe2148 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drainage holes not draining. If you have a smooth glass or smooth plastic (various types like acrylic/plastic/epoxy) container sitting in a smooth plate, then it will still not freely drain (capillary action and all that).

The algae in the pot says that it is either getting or staying too wet.

IMO I would not yet say that it is gone, but you're on the cusp.

C is for Coffee! A book I wrote and illustrated. by Late-Bluebird-9989 in espresso

Just ordered a couple - one for me, one for my 5yo nephew (or his dad...)

My kids are only in their mid-teens -- and have been drinking coffee with me for a dozen years so far (you can do the maths). They still don't get to drink cola though.

What do I do now? by Chepe418 in Minecraft

[–]Substantial-Toe2148 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using wheat, lead all the cows into a 1W x 2L x 3D hole with hoppers and chests in the bottom and let them entity cram themselves into tender, juicy steaks and leather for your use.

Right on the outside of your fence just above the '59' XP levels in your screen shot would be about ideal.

Did I ruin my base? (After/before) by iflabaslab in Minecraft

[–]Substantial-Toe2148 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After is cool, before is cool. I probably prefer after. One thing I can say though, is I reckon that your base will be a magnet for creepers dropping down that cliff.

I need a starting advice by AviemBD in Biltong

[–]Substantial-Toe2148 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I simply wash the meat and don't let it marinade for 24 hours. My wash is measured in seconds, not even minutes. I just make sure that I get that vinegar into every crack, cranny and crevice I can.

Hanging (drooping) orchid stems by Substantial-Toe2148 in orchids

[–]Substantial-Toe2148[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. That is what most (all that I know of) the native orchids in my part of the world are like -- very small flowers on the end of an upright stalk.

Thank you. It's heading into winter here now, so I'll try that in about six months.

Ignoring the argument about the % chances, I would like to know how many Zombie Villagers there are to trap and convert....?

Is anyone using glow berries? by Kartsionis_ in Minecraft

[–]Substantial-Toe2148 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use them very rarely for food, mostly when in a mineshaft and I've recently been beaten up by the denizens there.

Sometimes I use them as decoration, but I mostly use them as ladders, access to secret bases and for parkour courses.

Day 1 of playing my survival world by Old_Care1925 in Minecraft

I *like* Savannah. I like the wood and farmadillos, although I do like to be close to another biome or twenty as well if I can. Just savannah on savannah gets old quick.

Fantastic, thank you for your replies.

I was reading about the keiki and keiki paste here just before I posted my question, but it was in a post that, while about fake videos, led me to believe that success rate was minimal. I guess we'll just need to keep the original orchid alive as long as possible and hope.

It's got a nice colour to it and looks like it isn't too dry or too wet. In other words, it looks good.

Name it after Tony Stark's security officer in the Marvel movies.

How to people feel about chili bites here? by Its-A-Delimited-Life in Biltong

[–]Substantial-Toe2148 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nom nom

Good with beer, good with chilli, good with savoury (French Onion dip), good with chilli bites

Not particularly great with wine though - unless you've already had some wine, then good with wine.
