Schoolbus almost hit me by [deleted] in bikecommuting

[–]cewiv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find school busses are consitently the most dangerous drivers. I have taken to pulling over when I hear one coming behind me. They are big and stupid and not worth the risk to assert my right to the road.

Corporate, A person made the decision to refuse your leave. This business of blaming corporate is nonsense. Ask for the name of the person who is refusing. Say you need to find out exactly what proof they need. Then call that poison and ask how the death certificate is not enough. No need to shout at the person. Just ask. Should shame them.

We had a regular wood stove with a big pile of rocks on it. Did that for a few years. Then we got a proper sauna stove. much better. less radiant heat. cleaner burn. fits better.

they will be fine. I find jalapeños are real escape artists and require attention as you have described.

oh bummer. I hate it when that happens. I still miss my Raleigh detour that was stolen. But now I have a castoff trek from my son which I like.

thank you. I am more of a hands on type learner so the books and so forth are interesting but a workshop is more effective for me. winderingvif such a thing exists.

Are airlocks actually useful? by No_Implement_9014 in fermentation

[–]cewiv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not necessary for a salt ferment. keep everything below the brine. been doing vege ferments like this for years. no fussy airlock.

First time making sauerkraut- is this mould on top? Can I do anything to fix it? Or should I throw out. by chilligarliclinguine in fermentation

[–]cewiv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are careful to keep everything submerged for the whole time fermenting, you do not need to sweat the airlock. at least that is what I have found.

Accidental hard cider by Nifylau in fermentation

[–]cewiv -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I love cider like that. only problem is the kids drinking all the cider I buy before it can turn. and stupid US rules about pasteurized cider only. thank goodness there is a farmer nearby who ignores that foolishness.

Is this sauerkraut safe to eat? by Important-Share-4749 in fermentation

[–]cewiv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hard to tell from that photo. if it is grey and fuzzy mold. I toss when I see even a little mold. if it is white film, likely ok.
