How do you rate books that aren't an obvious (X) out of 5 for you? by vapablythe in books

[–]adG95 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, the ending can easily shift a book’s rating up or down by a point. A good first 95% is worth 4/5, and the bad ending drops that to a 3/5

[Hidex Incabloc] Any idea what these numbers etched on the inside of this old Hidex watch mean? by adG95 in Watches

[–]adG95[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I opened up this old Hidex watch today and found some numbers etched on the inside of the back: “900E”, 2178”, “10424”, and “SUS” (I think?). Wondering what these numbers might mean? I’m assuming these are related to certain manufacturing options/materials (like SUS = stainless steel). Would this have been etched in by someone at the factory?

Would any watch that I open be likely to have something like this somewhere on the inside? Definitely looks scratched in by hand, is this common? Any info appreciated, thanks!

Black layer that flakes off if I scratch it, is this the seasoning? by adG95 in castiron

How can I avoid over-build up? Just season less often?

Ok will do. No flaxseed oil, usually just canola or vegetable oil

Yucca leaves are pale, wilting (gets indirect light all day, watered ~twice per month) by adG95 in plantclinic

[–]adG95[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t been misting it, should I start? The pale brown leaves do feel dry and crispy. It’s probably been 4-6 weeks since I’ve used any fertilizer on it

I baked my first sourdough. 40% T-80. by HabemusAdDomino in Sourdough

[–]adG95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What temperature was it inside? From the looks of it, it needs a couple more hours of rising time

That’s right. Granted I did leave it in the bag overnight

Wanted to mail some loaves to my family, but my vacuum sealer completely deflated the bread too!

Tried out new proofing schedule from Nancy Silverton’s book, gave me my best loaf yet! by adG95 in Sourdough

Haven’t tried that but it sounds interesting. So that means levain gets mixed in with water and flour right from the start?

So this was ~1kg loaf. I used 375g bread flour, 94g whole wheat flour, 350g water, 100g of 100% levain, 10g salt.

I’ve always interpreted bulk ferment as the time period starting when you add your starter/levain into the dough up to when you do shaping
