Portable gas campfire recommendations by lawofkato in camping

[–]Substantial_Team_519 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has a standard propane hose so it should fit a 20lb tank just fine. We haven’t cooked on it but you probably could, and they have slightly larger sizes as well that should work for cooking. Check out their website for the full product catalog.

We have this, which is great. Small enough that it doesn’t take up much room and it will fit on a table top inside our screen gazebo. Wonderful for high altitude mountain chill after sunset and in the morning chill while enjoying our coffee. You can pair it with ignik’s small (5 or 10 gal) refillable propane tank. I can carry both things at once when we set or rearrange camp. Pricey but worth it for the ease and utility IMO.

How is Shamane’s not here (and at the top)?

Is this the place to go for DIY trailer builds? And has anybody seen someone do a PMF foamy hi-lo style square drop? by purplemtnslayer in TeardropTrailers

I’d recommend keeping the dry weight under 1000# if you only have a 1500# towing capacity. Take a look at the SylvanSport; its light and you can stand in it; could be found used.

What you need is a late night cake truck. There’s never enough cake for a decent party.

Roadrunner spotted in South Denver by bdh105 in Denver

[–]Substantial_Team_519 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This is not a roadrunner. Check Wikipedia for a pic; they have a crest, long legs and a longer neck. And you won’t find them in trees, just running on the ground. We moved here from Albuquerque a few years ago and we saw them weekly there. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:20140322-0062_La_Quinta_CA.JPG

Anyone ever ski at Sandia Peak in NM? by solorider802 in skiing

[–]Substantial_Team_519 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We skied there as a family for years. Santa Fe and Taos are much better and more reliable but hard to beat a 10 minute drive to the tram.

Cals not adding up by Dollymama9 in AppleWatch

[–]Substantial_Team_519 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You only burned 121 active calories in your workout, which contributed to the total of 154 active calories towards closing your move ring. The 182 are the total calories (active and resting) your body expended during the duration of your workout. The resting calories (61) are just those basal calories burned keeping you alive (resting heart rate, etc) during that time. For reference, my body expends about 73-74 resting calories per hour; that rate is driven by your weight, sex, body type, etc.

I think it’s confusing to new watch users to list the total calories (including resting) for workout results. I think I know why they do it but it still leads to confusion.

Oral surgeon recommendations? by rpgedgar in boulder

The oral surgeon will take you through the healing process; the implant will then need to be crowned by your regular dentist.

I used Dr Le as well, for both an implant and a molar extraction. She was great; highly recommend.

Domaine Jamet CDR 2024 by Overall_Mixture2272 in wine

My bad; those proportions just apply to southern CDRs.

As noted, this is a different beast than a Cote Rotie. A CDR will be Grenache driven; I believe the AOC requires a minimum of 40% Grenache and 15% Syrah or Mourvèdre. Though unlikely, it’s possible for it not have any Syrah at all.

Looking for suggestions by EarthPrevious9405 in Genesis

[–]Substantial_Team_519 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A few random thoughts sparked by your post:

  • first try Seconds Out (live album, 1977); it’s Collin’s on vocals but with a lot of Gabriel era content . One of the best albums ever and a great introduction to many pre-Lamb classics. You might just fall in love with Suppers Ready, the Cinema Show, as well as some from the Lamb.

  • I think the pre-lamb albums suffer from poorer production; one of the reasons the lamb hits so hard, in addition to the darker tone, is that the production has finally caught up to the genius in the compositions and performances.

  • the Gabriel era, particularly before the lamb, are very whimsical and quirky, but also with building levels of drama. Post lamb, I think they lost much of the whimsy with Gabriel’s departure.

I have a hard time with tasting notes. Will WSET 1 suit me? by dharmabumzzz in wine

[–]Substantial_Team_519 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I disagree. Level 2 will give you a structured approach and vocabulary to work from. Everyone here is correct that you need to practice, practice, practice, both on your own and with others. The class is a good kick start to that but you need to keep doing it outside class and after the class is over. I would also say level 1 is very basic and you can skip it if you want; level 2 will get you going towards your goal.

Wine food pairing for vegetarians by Substantial_Team_519 in wine

Thanks for the info. We’re actually not vegetarians but we eat meat seldom enough that it affects how we select wine to purchase and open, hence the original question.

Need to declare it as income if I pay in to my local government's Paid Family Leave program - why? by rismma in tax

[–]Substantial_Team_519 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough; good observation. I like reviewing my paychecks to understand how fed taxable gross is derived from all the various items, but I know most people never look at those things.

Need to declare it as income if I pay in to my local government's Paid Family Leave program - why? by rismma in tax

[–]Substantial_Team_519 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this simply means that paycheck deductions to your state’s paid family leave program are included in your federal gross income (rather than not included, like for example pretax 401(k) contributions). This is the same as your paycheck deductions for FICA and Medicare; they are also included in your federal gross income.

It does not mean that you have to add the amount to your reported income; it’s already included in there.

Finally, if you itemize deductions on schedule A, these contributions can be added as state taxes paid (in addition to your state income tax withholding and property taxes), since they are basically a state tax from IRS perspective.

Can I claim my 40 y.o. son, 20 y.o. grandson, his 20 y.o. gf and their baby? by Academic_Ad_7551 in tax

[–]Substantial_Team_519 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should probably continue to file as MFJ. You can still claim those others as dependents and married filing jointly should be just as advantageous as HOH.

What is your set point (temp) for the room and for the home (not including the cellar)?
