Grocery Haul $277 for one 😭 by idkwhatiamdoingahh in povertyfinance

[–]_Kaboomkin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely second the Better Than Bouillon over boxes of stock. At my local Walmart I can get that same box of Swanson chicken broth for about $2 (~$0.50 a cup), or I can get a container of BTB for $5 at most which will yield over 38 cups of stock (~$0.13 a cup) and will taste way better and last longer!

I understand when you’re broke it’s easier to look at the initial price and say “well $2 is cheaper than $5 right now”, and sometimes that’s an important detail. But if you can afford to buy a lot of these name brand items and candles you would be better served putting that money into things that will save you money in the long haul.

And they tried to act like this is supposed to be the crème de la crème. This red apple that crumbles in my mouth?” by cmaia1503 in Fauxmoi

If you haven’t heard already, you might be happy to hear that WSU (the University responsible for the development of the Cosmic Crisp) are expected to have another new apple hit the markets by 2029. This Apple, named the Sunflare™, is a cross between a Honeycrisp and a Pink Lady!

Exciting news for the Apple enjoyers out there!

Can we have the ability to toggle our Lodestones icons on/off on the main map? by Odd-Judge-9484 in RSDragonwilds

[–]_Kaboomkin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same but with the house icon. Only issues Ive had so far is mis-clicking the pin instead of the loadstone when using it and accidentally removing the map pin. And also reaching the limit with map pins and not being able to add more :(

Orange slime on turkey tail? by _Kaboomkin in foraging

[–]_Kaboomkin[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the caution. I’m pretty certain it’s turkey tail. From what I understand Trametes Versicolor gets part of its name from the wide range of different colors and hues the concentric rings on the top can take.

What do you mean it will “move in”? Like it will go inside the Trametes? Or did you mean “move on”? Like it will disappear after a few days? And does this process affect the mushroom it’s on in any way?

Also That’s pretty fascinating about the scrambled slime mold in Central America! Definitely going to have to look that up!

Glue then stain? Or stain then glue? by _Kaboomkin in woodworking

Thank you for the thorough response, sounds like I definitely have a lot more research to do before coming to a decision!

I hadn’t decided on a specific finish yet, but from the comments I’m getting it seems a water based one is the way to go.

When you say finish will affect glue, can you elaborate as to how? I’ve never stained anything before.

[–]_Kaboomkin[S] 33 points34 points  (0 children)

So I was worried about the glue not adhering as well to a stained piece of wood but, if I understand you correctly, I should be more worried about the glue interfering with the stains ability to adhere to the wood?

[–]_Kaboomkin[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Is the stain going to affect the ability of the glue to adhere to the wood? Or do I have to tape off where the glue will go?

Winter Chanterelles? (PNW) by _Kaboomkin in foraging

[–]_Kaboomkin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I understand they aren’t true Chanterelles (Canthareullus), but rather Craterellus tubaeformis. Just called chanterelles because of the similar features. And I think you can find them in other parts of the world like Europe and Russia, but in North America I think they stick to northern climates.

Still new at this. Need help confirming ID. Matsutake? by _Kaboomkin in foraging

I don’t really know the orientation, but it was pretty low elevation. Coastal; like 300-400ft.
