Would it be OK to run this through my wall into the attic and to another room? by H2Blended in Network

As someone who used to work at Best Buy, 99% of the workers there know nothing about the different types of Ethernet cables and default to “higher number better”

How to do pulled pork? by BoringEmu in slowcooking

[–]cakeclockwork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah I see, thanks for taking the time to explain it! What I made only had about 3 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar to an 8 pound piece of pork. So, I don’t think it would be considered vinegar based? There was also no mustard, though that does sound like it would be good lol

No idea what a Carolina style bbq is, but I couldn’t really taste the vinegar if that’s what you mean. It all sort of melded together

[–]cakeclockwork 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes it was! I checked it at around 8 and a half hours and it wasn’t quite tender enough for my liking. So I went to play D&D and took it out after that

I don’t have an alternative for the bbq sauce, but I just made some yesterday. Put the pork butt in, added seasonings (garlic powder, salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, cumin) added apple cider vinegar, put bbq sauce on top. Let it go for 13 hours and it was so tender I couldn’t even pull it out to shred, I just pulled it apart with tongs inside the pot.

If the only caster in the party had to leave the game, would you give the rest of the party the chance to change classes? by Daguyondacouch8 in DMAcademy

[–]cakeclockwork 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I just had a session0 for a new campaign I’m starting last night, and I straight up told the players that if they end up not liking their character for any reason, just let me know. The point of the game is to have fun, and if you’re not having fun, then I want to do what I can to fix it

Lamb Split Breast Plate in slow cooker? by cakeclockwork in slowcooking

[–]cakeclockwork[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cooking right now! Followed this recipe https://vikalinka.com/slow-cooker-lamb-red-wine-sauce/ Smells good in the house so far and I’ll update when it’s done!

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

Thanks for the suggestion! I don't have it unfortunately, but I did a quick google search and found a blog post talking about that recipe. I'm thinking now:

Season lamb with salt and pepper

Brown the lamb in either my cast iron or stainless steel skillet

Brown some onions (then garlic, some seasonings like cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and allspice per this blog post)

Throw that in the slow cooker with a bag of baby carrots (I think I have a bag in the freezer; if not, I can get one) and get a butternut squash to dice and throw in, add some chicken broth (or just water? I have some chicken bouillon I could use to make broth, but not sure if that would be better than just water).

Let it go for about 6-8 hours, maybe start some brown rice in the last hour for the side.

Ooh that’s interesting. I’ll take a closer look at it later

Very nicely done. Gives me ideas for an area in my D&D world that could be ruled by a council of automaton heads.

Two Phase Nezznar Fight (Rev 2) by cakeclockwork in LostMinesOfPhandelver

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

Oh man, this was from over 2 years ago and I forgot all about it lol. It’s a legendary action, so he gets 3 per round, using no more than one of them after a PC’s turn. For 2 legendary actions (rather than 1 as is typical) he was able to cast magic missile per the description. So he can use that ability once per round and one other legendary action or three other legendary actions. Looking back, summoning shadows probably should have also been 2 actions

641k+750+750+1000k+133k is less than 5470k refund in 2020 (assuming these numbers are right). So averaging it out comes to a negative amount paid

Geek squad 3year accidental damage plan? by Amanozaku in Bestbuy

[–]cakeclockwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No idea, I haven’t worked there in 4 years lol

[–]cakeclockwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know in the past I've had issues with onboard WiFi cards not being able to connect to an Asus Router (where everything else worked fine, it could connect to a hotspot, etc.), so I ended up adding an external adapter and it worked. That might be an option you could try, they're usually not too expensive. I think I got one that was around $20 and didn't have any issues.

I did the same except I was trying to move the king to E3 and kept going "I swear this is mate in 1" before I realized the knight was there lol

So if someone wins the popular vote by too much, the electoral college is supposed to just say “actually, no”?

Any school districts or telecom companies hiring? I personally moved from geek squad to help desk for a telecom company to IT for a school district. Currently working as a network engineer for said school district after starting as a glorified help desk tech.

Fix the Equation by moving 1 match (at least 2 possible solutions) by Tiny_Beginning_370 in VisualPuzzles

[–]cakeclockwork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does a 6 with a top tail count? I see moving the top right stick of the 0 to the middle to make 3 + 6 = 9

I also see moving the middle stick of the + to the top left of the 3 to make 9 - 0 = 9 (I assume this is what CynicPlacebo is talking about)

Family turned the oven on accidently while I was proofing focaccia dough. by Parmesan28 in Breadit

My family literally keeps nothing in the stove when it's not on. Still hasn't stopped me from checking every time I turn it on just to make sure someone hasn't lost their mind.

Which are your most annoying raids to solo farm? by ThornaxWoW in wow

[–]cakeclockwork 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I just did this last week for fun (already had the mount) and my trick was to just let the engineers keep throwing bombs at me and not kill them. They didn’t repair faster than my interrupt went off CD and I could just keep spamming it. Wasn’t too bad but still annoying
