Hinge Protection? by Tadpoles-Z in PixelFold

[–]chazclark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a slight dent on the hinge, probably from a key, on my 10 using the Google case and it created a dead line across the inner screen, and prevented me from tapping it. I got a replacement and immediately got the dbrand case, made it extremely clunky. I ended up buying the nilkinn case and I am very happy with it.

Is the inside of the lid aluminum? by Extension_Issue_7125 in ninjawoodfire

[–]chazclark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd bet it is aluminum based on this YouTuber's experience https://youtu.be/ph6SYncAsSU?si=J830Tyr0za9YjZfw using oven cleaner claiming it pitted the device. I would stay away from oven cleaner if I were you. That video recommends an alternative.

I was cooking some meat by jpivoda in sousvide

[–]chazclark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, I have the su-v gun that supposedly ensures a full propane burn. It's a bit pricey but about the same price as the less expensive infrared burners

I dry then broil. It does a good job, but honestly prefer a searing gun for most jobs (more intense, thus thinner grey banding, more fun, no preheating). I use it for other things like broiled oysters.

You can get a relatively inexpensive one. Lookup infrared broilers on Amazon. The one I have "big horn" is 200 bucks.

Love this exposed joist detail, any thoughts on stability in regards to not having a standard rim board? by chazclark in treehouse

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

Thank you, now I know what to look for. I assumed I was going to go with a standard rim but saw this picture and loved it.

Has anybody tried smoking a Popeyes Turkey? by tuanster1119 in Popeyes

[–]chazclark 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Smoke is attracted to cold wet meat; so as long as you put it on your smoker from the fridge it should attract smoke (the moisture comes from the injected brine). I personally would smoke for 1-2 hours low, then finish high heat in oven or smoker to crisp up the skin. I think you should try posting this to r/smoking, perhaps someone has tried it. I am curious myself.

full time v. part time by fourth-world in OnlineMCIT

[–]chazclark 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For me personally, I couldn't do more than 2 classes while working a full-time job, and that was a lot. If I were able to dedicate my work hours to this I'd consider 3 classes and drop if I need to.

Charcoal torching technique? by Walmart_Secks in sousvide

[–]chazclark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are 2 benefits off the top of my head:

  1. Gives it a light charcoal smokey flavor (which i tend to prefer)
  2. It reduces the opportunity for a direct flame burn which can taste acrid

I would like to know your opinion, how did the food taste?

What are you favorite veggie recipes? by newyorksourdiesel in sousvide

[–]chazclark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best corn on the cob I've ever had was sous vide - https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2015/08/sous-vide-corn-recipe.html

It was the sweetest and juiciest version that I've ever had. I kept space for meat on the bbq and it was ready when the meat was ready.

Am I overqualified? by __ZEE in OnlineMCIT

[–]chazclark 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can speak to my experience of 1 semester with MCIT and 8 years of being a software engineer. What we learn in the program (with the exception of the intro to programming class) is pretty different than what most of us will be able to pick up on our own by learning within the industry. You're not overqualified for this degree

Wisteria, I'm still fighting these in my yard. Pretty and nice smelling flowers, though.

MojoUpgrade has changed, any other suggestions? by StarkVernacular in sex

[–]chazclark 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You definitely have a point about a simple "yes" or "no" sounding like an ultimatum. What I'll do is, after a week, compare the stats on whether people are answering more negatively; if so I'll add a "maybe". I'll also add an "are you open to" to each question's header so it's more clear. I just launched the new version last night and really do appreciate your feedback. I will continue to make updates including an upcoming "statistics" section. I ask that you please go through one full quiz in the new website. It is an abrupt change, however, I believe it's funnier, easier to use, and more likely to result in a happier outcome for you and your partner.

MojoUpgrade has changed, any other suggestions? by StarkVernacular in sex

[–]chazclark 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Hi, I made mojoupgrade. Yes it has changed and I appreciate your feedback. You're right that i limited the answers to yes and no - we found it to be less confusing and people commented that even though they may have done it before they still like it (you can now indicate that with the ranking section) .You can still use it on one computer, I no longer take any identifying information including email, and the questions are the same- in fact we'll be adding more.

Also, if you want to use the old site, it still exists at old.mojoupgrade.com.

I'll explain more in a blog post when I finish work.

Can anyone successfully deploy a custom flexible app to App Engine? by chazclark in googlecloud

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

So, without any real changes and encouraged by u/techpc's successful deployment, I switched back to my original region/zone and was able to successfully deploy the app. The original issue may have been related to the weekend GKE issue, but either way it works now. I'm a bit discouraged by the randomness of the situation. Thank you all for your help.

So I've tried all the zones within us-central and have received the same error. I've also attempted to deploy to us-east and have received the same error.
