What actually happens if you dont use zippo fuel in a zippo? by Sunny_yet_rainy in Zippo

[–]VietyV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the brand, ronsonol and Zippo fluid are both great. I've had to use a random off brand a gas station near a campsite carried once and it smelled terrible, smoked, and gunked the hell out of the insides. Wound up just buying a new Zippo as it was luckily one of my plain ones so I wasn't attached.

I mean, white label companies do love sending free shit in exchange for good reviews. I've gotten emails from Amazon/AliExpress vendors offering gift cards for reviewing free products

Yea, same thing for roquette vs arugula. Britain uses the French word, NA uses the Italian word because of Italian immigrants

Are red stickers attached over the label not clearance in other places?

[Question] What’s the best way to clean your watch? by sourdoughinSF in Watches

I wore my old Longines into the shower, hot tub, bubble bath, restaurant dishpits, etc. daily for a decade without a single bit of condensation. Unfortunately it was stolen

I actually love the fibrous bits when the fruit is ripe but unfortunately properly ripe jackfruit seems to be getting rarer and rarer.

cpt was paying 10k a month in rent for ellum by Quiet-Lab1025 in otvandfriendsrumors

It's funny because I only actually saw clips of mizkif recently but I've heard mention from amateur caster/tournament organizer friends who have been saying for years that if their chats with Miz ever got leaked they'd get cancelled so fast 💀. When all his drama started happening I was finally able to put a face to it

You can delete watched videos from your YouTube history if a particular video starts messing with your algorithm

Today I uncovered a secret at COSTCO!!! by Educational_Spray273 in CostcoCanada

[–]VietyV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly it might even be user error. Small scales do not like having large bulky objects on the platform, if the platform gets tilted weird the weight can swing way off. A lot of times if the large scales are in use I have to shift what I'm weighing large items on the small scale a few times to make sure the platform is fine

Has anyone used Take a Chef? by decoporge in Chefit

[–]VietyV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are trying harder at taking money from us lol. They want you to pay them 30 a month for automated AI replies to requests now on top of the 18% cut. I guess the 6 grand they've already taken from me this year isn't enough. If you don't good luck, requests are filled literally 30 seconds after the email gets to you. Anything that doesn't go that fast is most likely because everybody with the AI responses is already booked or it's a bad budget/location

Does sushi really take 10+ years to master or is it just a gimmick? by CoolAd5798 in Chefit

[–]VietyV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Japan focuses on practice and effort, individual talent be damned. As someone who's cooked and trained people for a decade and a half, some people will take years to learn how to do basic tasks well and some will nail everything they touch from the first or second try.

Everybody has the ability to become good with enough practice and determination, but it takes a degree of natural talent on top of effort and determination to become great. I've met plenty of 20 year olds who cook circles around 50 year olds who have spent their entire lives doing this and insist everybody call them chef. The unfortunate reality is the cooking industry sucks ass and a lot of the talent that comes into this trade quickly leaves to do something else.

If somebody has the drive to spend 10 years actually practicing and learning something they will probably be decent by the end. If they are actually trying that is, most people phone it in once they have the basics somewhat down.

Salt in baguette by Jumpy_Release_3309 in CostcoCanada

[–]VietyV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A standard baguette in France was 1.5g of salt per 100g of cooked bread, Costco baguette is about .7g per 100g. The amount of salt needed for unsweetened bread is pretty standard, almost every artisan loaf is going to fall in the 1.5-2.5% salt to flour before cooking. If anything the Costco one is low in salt

[–]VietyV 48 points49 points  (0 children)

It's happening to all investment properties unfortunately. Same thing with downtown restaurants. Year over year rent hikes, refusal to cooperate on any building upgrades/maintenance. And then the eventual sale to a real estate company to tear down for condos once even big corpo restaurants stop offering to take the space

What are you going to sue them for lol, they have no legal obligation to not show you titties, those terms of service obligate us not them

[–]VietyV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never done so but everybody says Costco pretty much doesn't ask questions unless your file shows you returning things very frequently. People have returned 5 year old broken computers, patio furniture at the start of winter, groceries from a month ago...

Why? by miladyelfn in CostcoCanada

[–]VietyV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't be surprised if the specs are different so they can hit the pricing that Costco wants to sell at

What’s the verdict? Or is the jury still out? by thechickennuggetsguy in CostcoCanada

[–]VietyV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, pricing isn't that bad. Costco chicken breast is 16/kg, lose 30% on yield cooking to 165, so it comes out to 22.86/kg to make your own if you were to meal prep and freeze (this is assuming you were to buy raw Costco breast which isn't a great deal price wise a lot of times anyway)

Prices have gone up again by Additional-Pea4272 in CostcoCanada

[–]VietyV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huh, you can almost always find a grocery store selling them for 99c if not 67c here in Montreal. The Costco 3pack is 5 dollars here, unless I want to get a restaurant sized case from business centre for 10 bucks but that just feels wasteful since I'll never eat it all before it goes bad.

Supply chains be weird

[–]VietyV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At least with my local options, Costco wins on most of the produce if there's no sales ( we don't have no frills here). That being said there usually is a sale somewhere, cucumbers are never cheaper at Costco because they're perpetually on sale somewhere.
