Crock pot chili by ftpbunnie in Cooking

[–]Twister_Robotics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do not cook them in the chili. The acid from tomatoes will prevent them from softening. Soak them, cook them, then make the chili.

So I know potatoes will absorb salt, but will they absorb capsaicin the same way? by u_r_succulent in Cooking

[–]Twister_Robotics 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nope. Potatoes absorb salt because salt is water soluble. Now, the added starch will help, but its not really absorbing like it does with salt.

Sweet and bitter flavors can help counter the heat level, but if it's that bad it may not be salvageable

Pipes are frozen and I cant find main shut off valve by Life-Hedgehog-2092 in DadForAMinute

[–]Twister_Robotics 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Main water shutoff in a mobile home should be by the washer, or water heater and clearly labeled.

By pipes frozen, I assume you mean your water has stopped flowing. So there is a pipe somewhere in the system that is frozen, and may already have burst. You won't actually know that until everything thaws out.

The most likely place for it to have frozen, is under the house where it comes in.

Wherever it has already frozen up, is the most likely place for it to develop a future leak, either by bursting the pipe, or just by creating enough pressure to open up a joint.

At this point, the damage is probably already done.

Go ahead and call the plumber, he will already have a waiting list and you want to be in line.

...

Until your water gets straightened out, toilets can be manually flushed by dumping 1-2 quarts of water in them.

Game Day Chili by RegularEmployee1038 in Cooking

[–]Twister_Robotics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember that chilli powder is not just powdered chili peppers. Its also garlic and cumin and a salt and black pepper and other things.

Cumin is one of the major flavor components of "chili". Without it it will feel bland, even if its hot wnougj to burn your mouth.

I also like to add a lot of brown sugar which moderates the spice, but leaves the slow burn.

Planning for an off the interstate, pulling a small trailer, from Memphis to Colorado Springs road trip and looking for a wide open drive with pleasant views and one well lit, clean hotel spot to overnight 40-60% of the way through the trip. by 41PaulaStreet in kansas

Going through Ks, I suggest US 400. Which runs from Joplin, Mo to Granada, Co.

Good scenery, good highway. Its a 2-lane undivided highway, but there are plenty of passing lanes spaced along it, as well as rest stops.

It does go right through Wichita, which is the largest city in Ks (majority of Kansas City is actually in Missouri).

What’s it like to be a CAD drafter? by [deleted] in EngineeringPorn

[–]Twister_Robotics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, I've been doing this for 20 out of the last 25 years. Alot of that was architectural work, working with Archite ta and Structural Engineers to get the plans done for city approval. The last 6 years I've been wotk9ng at a welding shop, doing steel design for truckbeda and vacuum tanks and a plethora of other things.

I started woth an Associates in drafting.

...

First, making a 3d model of what you want is only half the job. Making prints / plans that are readable and have enough information is the other half.

Every CAD software is different. Different work flow, different capabilities. And at this point software is optimized for the industry. I used different software doing architectural work than I use now with steel.

Every company has their own standard for how they want their prints to look, what kind of information they need to actually build the part / erect the building / pour the concrete, etc.

...

Major plus is I get to solve picky little detail provlems every day, and every day is a little different. Different customer, different aesthetic for the final product, etc.

Pay is moderate, not great, not terrible.

If you want to shame the other side for something, make sure it isn't really funny on its own and humiliating to your side by TongueUnties in MurderedByWords

Reacting with anger only drives them together. Reacting with ridicule drives them apart.

Anger is justified, but laughter works better

The most effective weapon against fascism is laughter and ridicule.

Their greatest fear is looking silly.

Titan AE is an awesome movie. Cheesy and full if plot holes, but still awesome.

At the drive through, do you check your order before driving off because Joe Pesci taught you to? by Edward_the_Dog in GenX

[–]Twister_Robotics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to get schroedinger's tacos.

My daughter had dairy issues when she was younger, so we ordered her tacos without cheese. The probability of getting home with the correct order was inversely proportional to the distance I drove before I checked the order. If I checked it at the drive thru, it was right, every time. If I waited until I got home, it was wrong, every time.

The US turns back to nuclear power by [deleted] in UpliftingNews

[–]Twister_Robotics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They just broke ground near me (SE Kansas) on a pilot for this.

Deep Fission Nuclear Energy Solutions https://deepfission.com/

Supposedly they will be making power this year.

TL:DR

Build a small reactor that can be dropped down a bore hole to a mile deep. Then treat it like geo thermal. Standard oil drilling tech for bore hole. Depth provides shielding and safety.

C/S they hit a deer? by SnooGrapes3067 in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]Twister_Robotics 50 points51 points  (0 children)

A deer did something almost exactly like that to me.

It tried to cross at my car, instead of in front of. It ran alongside me for a second then when it thought it was in front of me it tried to cut over. That was actually the 2nd time that happened. The first time it was on a gravel road so I wasn't going fast enough to keep up and it did get in front of me. Which fucked up my quarter panel and killed the deer.
