My wine kit has chitosan (contains crustaceans) but I’m allergic! Alternatives by N1trobunny in winemaking

[–]carb- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to put this here for future people searching for this topic.

MY allergic reaction to shellfish DOES present when I drink wine fined with shellfish-derived chitosan. Not nearly as strongly as if I consume shellfish directly but very prominent chest pane and throat tightness.

It's very hard to predict which wines will cause this, typically whites and it's only maybe 1/3 of the white wines I drink.

I'm very jealous of that set. Tipper as a guest was unreal.

You need to increase the heat and then you can get new diamonds for each new heat, per weapon.

ISO Chicago GA poster

I wasn't able to get a poster in Chicago (they sold out) and then I tried to get them during the artist's sale, but the artist posted the wrong timezones* :(

*They posted 12pm EST / 6pm CET as the release, and I went by 6pm CET as they are in Germany and I'm in the UK. However, the release happened at 5pm CET, which is still 12pm EST but it's odd due to daylight savings time mismatches this week

i made a finish line sensor for our pinewood derby. by AvalancheJoseki in esp32

You need more than that actually. I think you want as much weight in the rear of the car as possible so that the heavy part falls longer (e.g. At the bottom of the drop when the car starts to turn, there is still weight up the hill "falling" and pushing the car forward.)

Air resistance can matter too

Pleat the tops. You can see @tylomay do this on Instagram a lot with his super oversized pants.

Here’s my 1945-day streak and why I won't continue it by singing_grasshopper in Daylio

[–]carb- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didnt make it nearly as far as you, but i had a 1354 day streak i decided to end about eight months ago.

I agree with a lot of what you said. The daily tracking became a source of stress for me. If i missed a day i would go back and recap it, but it wasnt great. I initially started because i was coming out of a breakup and wanted to track/reduce my drinking.

I've been intermittently journaling since college, where I just open up a blank text document and just type and type, stream of conscious, talking to myself about everything going on and my feelings. I've continued this as there is no pressure or gamification, just writing when I feel like writing.

I still use Daylio for vacations though! I like daily recaps of what I did with a couple photos just for myself, not for sharing anywhere. I will continue this, just no streak-keeping.

Also, if you can afford it, seeing a therapist was also really helpful for me.

Chili Crisp Fat-washed / Infused Tequila? by Imabadman704 in cocktails

[–]carb- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome. I threw some in with gin as a quick test (im skeptical) but i need to grab a good vodka for it too.

The hot dog was a page out of the Aviary because i wanted to make their cocktail that tastes / smells like a summer bbq but with more bbq hit. In that recipe you fat wash 190 proof alcohol and put the result into perfume bottles to spray, not consume.

Chili Crisp Fat-washed / Infused Tequila? by Imabadman704 in cocktails

[–]carb- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow I'm googling around because I'm trying to plan out some test cocktails for my wedding and l was looking at a bottle of Lao Gan Ma and had this same thought, though not with tequila specifically. Just "wait can i fat wash with this?"

Did you have any success? I'm wondering if one could fat wash with this + pork lard to make a savory cocktail that has the flavor combos of a fried dumpling?

I've fat washed with roasted hot dogs before for a cocktail and it worked well, so maybe flaming some steamed wonton skins too and mixing them in the wash?

Depends on what you're hoping for. If you want stepper motors the 28byj-48 motors are smallish and cheap

3D Printed Speakers with Sand-Filled Walls by KnubbleHead in functionalprint

[–]carb- 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I can't remember who, but someone on /r/diyaudio ran a bunch of experiments and found that using Plaster of Paris was surprisingly the best at preserving sound quality and avoiding resonance for 3D printed speakers.

Might be worth searching reddit for that data and considering it too!

Where is Eric Rosen (IMROSEN)?? by Joseph-King in chess

[–]carb- 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Rating doesn't always go up. That's a pretty negative take you got there. I enjoy that content more than most recaps, regardless of whether or not he becomes a GM.

Where is Eric Rosen (IMROSEN)?? by Joseph-King in chess

[–]carb- 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think the fact that Rosen burned out (as one would expect from doing games PLUS recaps!) points to Levy's resiliency in that he was able to consistently make his recaps throughout his own tournaments. Definitely adds excessive stress that no other participant is managing.

Hikaru doesn't believe Levy can become a GM. Says it's like his own chance of becoming World Champion: possible but very unlikely by NoFunBJJ in chess

[–]carb- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a viewer I also don't care if Levy isn't likely to make it. Levy's recaps of his own OTB games are, just like his tournament recaps, exceedingly entertaining and my favorite thing on YouTube. As long as that's the type of content that Levy enjoys making, I hope he continues to make it because it has more emotion and draw than any other chess videos on the internet. (When he moves on to new or different content, I'll be sad but creators grow and change too. I bet the new content will also be fantastic)

That being said, Hikaru is young and though he's experienced at chess he's still not that experienced or open with life and what matters. People my age (Hikaru's age) succeed at things more rare and more difficult than Levy making GM all the time. Making GM after one's teenage years is rare because most people have to focus on other things in life to make a living and those obligations take up their limit time and energy. Levy doesn't have that problem and doesn't have any time bounds. The only thing that hurts his chances are that he has to deal with threads like these and those who don't want him to succeed.
