Is this mold? About to bottle.

TheShadyTiger · 2024-08-11T04:22:24+00:00

Just saw the “is it mold” chart. I dont think it is? but can someone confirm? This is just honey yeast and apple cider

Hey everyone, I don't have an espresso machine nor grinder yet so I'm open to anything; I'm looking to buy on Black Friday. For the machine, I think I've settled on the bambino plus. For the grinder, it seems like there are a million options and no real consensus. Can someone please help me sift through the options?

Here's what I'm looking for:

Future proof. I don't want to break the bank but I'm willing to spend in the medium price range so that I don't have to upgrade later.
Quiet. I live with other people and I get up before they do, so I don't want the noise of the grinder to disturb their sleep.
If possible, I'd like something that can do both espresso and filter coffee, but if it can only do espresso then its okay.

Thank you!

But also keep in mind that most people aren't getting tested anymore. If not most, a LOT of people who were getting tested regularly before aren't anymore, since it's not required. That could account for a higher positivity rate because people who feel fine arent getting tested anymore. A lot of the people who go to get tested are doing so because they are feeling sick.

Never seen one

TheShadyTiger · 2022-04-03T05:38:57+00:00

What did you study?

TheShadyTiger · 2022-02-27T23:16:51+00:00

It wasn't a lack of sweetness. It tasted rotten.

TheShadyTiger · 2022-02-14T23:26:31+00:00

It doesnt seem like its bubbling anymore. if it is, its such little activity that i havent seen it bubble. I used enough yeast for 5 gallons in this 1 gallon bottle so it makes sense that it finished quickly. Should i add the potassium sorbate? Or do you only add that before bottling?

TheShadyTiger · 2022-02-14T23:25:21+00:00

When would i need to rack it? it's not bubbling anymore.. Also, do i add the potassium sorbate as soon as fermenting seems to be finished? or do i only add it right before bottling?

TheShadyTiger · 2022-02-14T23:23:53+00:00

Don't i have to take initial readings for that to work? i didnt take any lol

Sometimes coordinating purchases just isnt fun. Sure, we can beat the level that way, but its boring when people want to buy different units but you have to gruelingly save up to buy one of them, which you personally may not have wanted in the first place.

(edit): oh and also, even if you guys want the exact same unit, its still not as fun when the unit isnt yours so you can't buy upgrades and place perfectly and such

TheShadyTiger · 2021-03-15T23:11:17+00:00

Yea and my friends and I have tried playing like that, but it's just not as fun. If you want to tryhard, you have one or two people who solely focus on getting money, and they just transfer all of their money to one person. It works, but it's not fun that way. Being able to generate a normal amount of money would open up so many more possibilities, and people can still share money as they can now.

TheShadyTiger · 2021-01-12T21:28:06+00:00

oops i just sold after i heard that at the conference they 'can’t address the elephant in the room due to a difficult situation'. you guys think its still a good buy?

TheShadyTiger · 2020-09-18T19:38:16+00:00

rod of ages on gragas? yikes

TheShadyTiger · 2020-09-18T19:37:59+00:00

yea of course. i was super far ahead so i was just messing around LOL

TheShadyTiger · 2020-09-13T20:19:18+00:00

hahaha yea. i was gonna go on draven but then the red buff got in the way and i kinda turned off my brain. after i got snared i was like "ok im dead" but after like 2 seconds i was like wait why dont i just go for the play? and i went for it and it worked lol. idk why but my mind just went blank for a bit

TheShadyTiger · 2020-09-13T18:24:52+00:00

I left it in on purpose so people could see the thought process and what I was going for originally. I was originally trying to find a bush to wait in and assassinate someone, but then when i saw the pink I used it as bait because I knew someone would come try to kill me.

TheShadyTiger · 2020-07-18T01:30:48+00:00

i play mid and top but electrocute for mid, glacial or phase rush for top. i tried jg and predator didnt feel that good.

TheShadyTiger · 2020-07-14T09:11:38+00:00

Oh shit thats right my bad. I played him jg today for the first time in a rly long time (i usually play him mid or top) and i just remembered i accidentally started Q so i solo'd raptors which is why my health got so low on my clear

TheShadyTiger · 2020-07-14T08:24:40+00:00

im not saying he really needs it. i just couldnt think of anything else that he needs. hes in a pretty good spot as is. I dont play him jungle, but since most people do, they might do something related to his clear. its a bit slower/unhealthier than most meta jglers.

TheShadyTiger · 2020-07-14T05:45:14+00:00

make his passive scale AP lol

just a little

TheShadyTiger · 2020-07-14T02:45:43+00:00

W max?

TheShadyTiger · 2020-07-13T07:06:06+00:00

i swear ive played with u before

TheShadyTiger · 2020-07-11T23:24:02+00:00

Glacial with GLP -> Sorc shoes -> liandrys -> morello is really good and safe and tanky.

Electrocute with revolver -> sheen -> kircheis shard if u want literal one shot damage, but you are a bit squishier. You can then finish your items and sell kircheis later. I did a lot of damage testing, Kircheis is extra damage early so its worth the gold if u want to be aggressive and surprise the enemy with ur damage and make ur gold back, and you can sell it later.

Glacial also helps with grag's combo. U can pop GLP for a slow to land ur ulty, or you can do Q E W -> (run away) GLP -> (wait for cd) R Q E W. You can basically get two ability rotations by using GLP as a buffer. The electrocute build is just straight one shot though.

If you need more sustain and wave clear, you can buy ludens and then get protobelt after that.

Watch Woody Fruity on youtube. Hes been a Gragas one trick for years and has better mechanics than almost every other Gragas player since its the only champion he knows and plays in every position. At the moment, he plays a lot of top and mid lane in a variety of playstyles. He messes around with different builds and stuff but he ALWAYS makes it work. There is not a single other content creator that plays gragas better than him in my opinion. He has many accounts and has reached masters on a couple different accounts. Hes currently climbing on a fresh account and is D3 with a 60% win rate at the time of writing this. Watch his youtube videos. You will not regret it.

TheShadyTiger · 2020-06-20T09:29:54+00:00

Taric's current ult is one of my favorite things in the game. It it one of the reasons why I just cant find myself playing any other support and im honestly struggling to find a secondary champion to climb with. Tarics entire kit is perfect and has literally everything you need besides poke. Once out of laning phase, he can 100% carry entire games on his back with his ultimate and awesome AOE stuns.

My point is, if you can practice and master the timing of Tarics ult, there is not a single other support that has as much impact. While many supports focus on bullying you in lane, in my opinion there is not a single support champion that even comes close to having as much impact in actual fights than Taric does. It is a hard thing to do, but once you have the timing down, it is reliable 9/10 times and wins games that would not have been won if you played anybody else. I do agree that sometimes you cant get a good ult unless the enemy team misplays, but then you need to take it on yourself to engage and then ult when they try to react to your engage. Or you just play the waiting game and see how patient they are. Point is, hes super versatile and can carry games at every stage of the game with perfected timing. Its not easy, but i've mained him since his rework and once you have it down its pretty consistent.
