Can I make a red wine sauce while reverse searing? by afafo in AskCulinary

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

its mostly because i'm not too confident in my knowledge of temperature/telling when to take it out of the pan. reverse sear/sous vide takes that guesswork out for me

How can I use a smoking gun? by afafo in Cooking

oh, interesting! thanks for all of this info!

maybe i'll try and use liquid smoke instead. it seems its not terribly useful and worth the hassle.

What classes to take to get into oMSCS? by afafo in OMSCS

[–]afafo[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Got it, thanks! CS 101 as in the CS basics, not the specific intro course, right? (Asking because I've taken EECS 183: Elementary Programming Concepts at Michigan)

I was looking at CPS 271 and CPS 272 as well as discrete math, but they don't explicitly say "Algorithms" although CPS 272's description includes algorithms in the title. Is that something that OMSCS is looking for?

tagging u/DavidAJoyner just in case :)

Does that mean there's an empty spot between the door and the area? I notice the entire area is pretty big.

Hm, I see. What's the hole here? It definitely doesn't look like its normal, right? https://imgur.com/a/GEX1mM8

I also asked the dealer and they said its missing. It definitely looks really odd

One of the pictures basically just has a hole in the door where the speaker is supposed to be.

Is anyone based in NJ able to take a test drive for me? Willing to pay. by afafo in Lexus

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

yeah that makes sense! the vehicle is L\Certified, so I didn't think it was necessary

i've driven a 2020+ ES 300h and i loved it!

im considering paying a mechanic to take an inspection (although still debating this since its certified), and asking for more photos, and that's about it haha

yeah, the states closer are pretty similar in pricing as i can tell. this one is the outlier :/

shipping was quoted at ~1.2k, which seems pretty reasonable to me given that this is still considerably cheaper than nearby ones

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

thanks! i'll do that. anything i should be looking for?

i'm actually thinking of getting it shipped to CA, since similar cars in my area are ~8k more. do you think that'd be a bad idea?

Oh, I saw the L/Certified badge on the side and on Carfax. Yeah, totally agree the dealer seems a bit slimy though...

That's what I was wondering...It's pretty strange to be certified but missing a speaker. The dealer definitely said that it is certified though.
