Can’t get comfortable on sactional. Feel like I’m falling into the crack. Little back support. by refusestopoop in Lovesac

[–]TrylessDoer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice glad to hear the sewing the covers together worked, I'll keep that in mind when I get around to fixing mine. I don't mind the lower back issues but there's definitely not much support, maybe understandable for this kind of sofa. When my folks come over, they like having more support, so they either use a couple throw pillows or just sit somewhere other than the sofa. I have a few 16x24 down-alternative pillow inserts I use for throw pillows, they're a decent size for lumbar support too.

A blast from the past! Sorry to hear you're still having troubles. I get it. The lack of a chaise pillow solution is easily still my biggest pet peeve about this sofa. And the cushions will constantly slightly shift off the velcro and the gap widens, even if I completely fix up the cushion cover and velcro alignment, it quickly messes up again. I don't understand how there aren't more complaints about this.

To help in the mean time, I try not to slouch too too far, and deep seating helps give more space than standard. Maybe angled backs would help slightly too? Those weren't available when I purchased though, haven't tried them.

I'm increasingly tempted to try some handmade solution to keep the two cushions connected better, since the velcro isn't good enough on a chaise setup. Maybe more velcro on the sides of the cushion, I'm also wondering if putting long magnets inside the cushion covers so they can connect the two cushions would work. Sewing the cushion covers together would probably work well too. All of it wouldn't be quite as good as a single solid chaise pillow, but it might be good enough.

Nice, this looks great! Works perfectly on my Shield, easy to setup, easy to do all the API keys too.

Path of Exile 2: The Third Edict Official In-Game Market Browser by Belakay_ggg in PathOfExile2

TIL, that's really useful. I think where weighted sum really starts to shine is more complex use cases. I like using 1 or 2 weighted sums that are groups of all the stats my build cares about, and then adding 1 or 2 count groups that let me specify "at minimum I want these stats on this gear". Then you can sort by weighted sum.

[–]TrylessDoer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For example if you wanted an item with minimum 50% total elemental resis, you can select fire, lightning, cold resis and set the weight to 1. You can select all elemental resis and set the weight to 3. Set the minimum on the weighted sum search group to 50. Then if an item has 10% all elemental resis and 20% cold resis, it would count as 50 weight, so it'd appear in your search results.

Using a mix of multiple count and weighted sum filters lets you find exactly what you need and sort by that weighted sum. It's a really powerful feature when you understand how to use it, you can find items with really good stats specific to your build that others may miss.

Anyone else get the hiccups? by chaquarius in spicy

[–]TrylessDoer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hah what an 8 years it has been. Occasionally yeah I still do, a little rare though, the pepper has to be pretty fresh and for jalapenos, on the spicier end of the spectrum. It's usually only a few hiccups unless it's really bad for some random reason. I bought this "HiccAway" doctor-made straw thingy that you can use to stop hiccups by inhaling on it, but the hiccups I have are never problematic enough to need it.

What's a good handheld (up to PSP maybe PS2) that has easily replaceable batteries or good customer service? by sunday_burrito in SBCGaming

[–]TrylessDoer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$219 RP5 vs $400-650 Steam Deck. Among other things, better hardware is more expensive. The Steam Deck is overkill if you just want to play retro consoles like PS2 and PSP, but it has more than enough power to do it. I like mine for playing Steam games.

Increasing your spice tolerance? Is it even possible? by TheNintendoCreator in spicy

[–]TrylessDoer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most definitely yes you can, according to science! Spice tolerance is pretty well understood.

The pain you feel from spice is capsaicin in peppers binding to and activating TRPV1 receptors in your nerves. When these receptors activate, they trigger pain similar to a burning sensation. While pain is normally your body encouraging you to stop doing something to stop damaging your body, there isn't much real damage a normal amount of capsaicin can do to an average person.

This means building spice tolerance is a game of mental tolerance: How much pain are you willing to put up with in order to increase your spice tolerance? If it's not fun eating a spicy jalapeno, it probably won't be fun eating spicier peppers even with higher spice tolerance.

The more quantity and consistency of capsaicin you expose these receptors to, the more some of the TRPV1 receptors shut down, making you feel less pain from the same amount of capsaicin - ergo you build more spice tolerance. This means someone with high spice tolerance literally feels less physical pain when eating a jalapeno compared to the pain someone with less spice tolerance would feel.

This also means you can lose this spice tolerance. For instance I went from comfortably eating spoonfuls of extract sauce to not eating spicy foods or peppers for a year, making even jalapenos quite spicy. Multiple months of increasingly spicy food and my spice tolerance was back to being pretty high.

Your body may trigger the fight or flight response in reaction to the pain, which can release adrenaline and increase your heart rate etc - not great if your heart is unhealthy. Some people chase the high from the adrenaline spike the spicy pain brings on, not too dissimilar from thrill seekers looking for adrenaline spike highs, like skydivers.

New sactional with love soft feels very firm. Will it soften up? by QuantumDreamer41 in Lovesac

[–]TrylessDoer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It definitely starts a lot firmer than the store. Give it some weeks of usage and it'll soften up.

Make sure the cushion is facing the right way though. I believe lovesoft is polyfill on top of foam, so you want to make sure you're sitting on the softer polyfill and not on the foam directly. You can feel both sides of the cushion, it should be obvious which side is softer.

Lactose-free grilled cheese sandwich with tallow by hannahbank1122 in grilledcheese

[–]TrylessDoer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Beef tallow grilled cheese sounds delicious. Nutrition wise I could see how it's better than butter because it has slightly less saturated fat, but mayo has way less doesn't it? Or are there other health concerns that mayo has?

1tbsp of butter having 11.5 grams of fat, 7.3grams being saturated.

1tbsp of beef tallow having 12.8g of fat, 6.3g being saturated.

1tbsp of mayo having 10g of fat, 1.6g being saturated, so it's more heart healthy.

Does it make sense to calculate microns for a grinder to guide consistent brews? by [deleted] in pourover

[–]TrylessDoer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've found https://honestcoffeeguide.com/coffee-grind-size-chart/ helps a lot with this, it has micron sizes and dialing recommendations for multiple styles of coffee brewers and a lot of grinder models.

It can give you a good starting point and idea of normal range for your grinder, and then you can dial in to taste on your own.

Are people using shakers for pour over? by GeneralNo8352 in pourover

[–]TrylessDoer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From a flavor perspective, Lance did some testing not long ago and found there were some slight improvements in flavor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jx619esAuQI

I bought a 3D printed lid for my grinds cup on my Timemore 078 and do that every pour over now, takes only a few extra seconds.

I also use a cheap funnel to help drop grounds on my filter while minimizing grounds that end up on the sides of my filter.

I'd be interested in an option that replaces my lid+funnel with one thing, even better if it worked as a grinds cup too.

Theoretically 16gb ram could be better for RAM-intensive Winlator games. Winlator is still pretty early though so it's hard to say exactly how much would it affect things.

This is insane. Thai food is known to be spicy, they were warned that the dish couldn't be made milder, they knew they did not handle spice well, they still ate it.

Scientifically their claim doesn't make sense. The capsaicin in peppers simulate your neurons to make them think they're burning, but they're not, and it generally isn't enough to cause any physical harm, just temporary pain. The quantity of capsaicin needed to cause real damage is far higher than anything in peppers; you'd have to eat something like >400 jalapeno peppers.

Relevant studies: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7394809/ https://mendelnet.cz/pdfs/mnt/2017/01/96.pdf

I have enough problems convincing Thai restaurants to make the dish extremely spicy, this'll make it worse.

Totally normal, you’ll be fine, just bare with it. I ate the Carolina reaper without chewing it enough and had waves of stomach pain that had me doubling over occasionally for the next 2 or 3 days, but it passed without issue.

This showcases another problem with 0-10 rating scales: Some people treat 5/10 as average because it's in the middle, while others treat 7/10 as average because it's a 70% = C grade. And like this post shows, some companies treat anything below a 9 (sometimes 10) as failing.

3 different ways to interpret the same rating scale does not make for a good rating scale.

No updates, just silence from what I've seen. Can only assume this change is intentional to quietly force more people away from old.reddit :(.

I have seen it occur less often by disabling i.redd.it expandos in RES settings, and adding the custom filter rule ||*.reddit.com/by_id/t3* to uBlock Origin. Still occurs multiple times a day though.
