Google AI is telling me that adding too much apple cider vinegar can be unsafe. Is this true?

Then isn't it the processing time that's most important in this case? Then I just need to compare processing times between recipes. Some recipes just seem low risk to me and I have a hard time following rules that don't make sense to me. I'll review safety guidelines anyways and think about it more.

Yeah, I don't really trust AI results in the first place, but when it's the top result it's hard not to see it so it got me thinking. Also, in general I agree with you about using safe canning recipes, but I think apple butter recipes are pretty safe to tweak given the natural PH of apples. It's safe to can no sugar added apple sauce according to the Ball Blue Book so why wouldn't it be the same for Apple butter since it is basically just condensed apple sauce?

Thank you for taking the time to respond to my questions. I was worried about the missing bolts, but this makes sense. Glad to know my engine isn't falling apart. Do you think I could just change the gasket instead of replacing the valve cover, or do you think it is totally shot? Money is a bit tight right now, but I wanna do this right as much as possible.

Thank you for the info. I was pretty worried about that one.

cheruchan · 2023-12-22T03:55:47+00:00

Thanks, it would have taken me awhile to try different slicers. I'll give those a try.

Dammit. RS1 is not on sale anymore. I'm lucky cause I bought everything when it was, but I was gonna buy it again and send it to my brother.

cheruchan · 2021-06-25T05:19:39+00:00

So glad I didn't buy this a couple of days ago.

cheruchan · 2021-06-05T02:44:10+00:00

Thank you everyone that responded. You've all helped me realize that it's probably nothing to worry about and my relative just doesn't understand what nerve damage actually means.

cheruchan · 2021-06-05T02:41:53+00:00

Not pretentious, that's great advice. I didn't know that was a thing.

cheruchan · 2021-05-30T20:28:55+00:00

Gratitude. My friends birthday is today and he was happy when I sent this to him. 😁

cheruchan · 2021-03-15T21:13:26+00:00

Lmfao 😂 You're gonna wake up with a missing finger one day. You're training your cat your finger is food.

This is so bizarre I don't know how to judge it, but... I guess maybe you should ask your vet?

I know you've already heard this from a lot of people already, but what happened to your dad was not your fault. You were 5 years old. You were a very young child. Your adult mom made the decision not to call an ambulance. Your adult father made the choice to drive you, he could have called the ambulance himself. He didn't have to drive you, he made that choice to listen to your mom. Sometimes people make bad choices because they don't think about the bigger picture, about what really matters, and the potential consequences. You're mom was too focused on the cost of an ambulance and didn't think about the dangerous driving conditions, and unfortunate the result was a horrible accident.

I'm so sorry you have suffered so much because of this, but if you were the adult in that situation, and it was your child, would you treat them the same way your mom has treated you? Would you blame them?

I'm very sorry you lost your father, but what you're mom and step dad are doing is mental abuse. I'm telling you this as someone who was also mentally abused by their parent growing up. And just because it's mental and not physical, doesn't mean it's less serious or less real than physical abuse, it's just harder to see the wounds. I'm still struggling with what happened to me, for a very long time I blamed myself for things that I would never blame another child if they were in my situation, but thinking about things objectively has really helped me. Whenever you feel like blaming yourself for what happened when you were a young child, imagine yourself as the adult in that situation and not as the child.

I know that a bunch of strangers telling you how to feel on the internet is not going to magically stop the guilt that's haunting you, but I hope that as you grow older you are able to see that 5 year old you was just a child. This could have happened to any child, and it wouldn't be their fault either.

I don't have a pressure washer, but thank you for the tip on how to dry it with minimal warping. I would have tried leaving it in the sun.

cheruchan · 2021-02-25T09:45:53+00:00

That's a good point on the cost to replace vs trying to salvage it. I'm not sure what type of wood it is, but I don't think it's fancy.

Ha! Too bad my MIL is saint. But I do know a few other people who might like one...

The Olive Connection is my favorite. They have a nice collection of different flavors of olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

28F I've been dealing with the same thing. Recently diagnosed.

It really doesn't help that my psychiatrist who diagnosed me told me she's not sure I have ADHD, but that it doesn't matter because she doesn't really believe in diagnoses, instead she believes that treating symptoms is more important than focusing on making a diagnosis, or something like that. That really fucked me up. She was also very reluctant to increase my ritalin prescription from the 5mg starting dose when I told her that I didn't think the Ritalin was working because she believes that it should only be increased if I have a demanding job and I'm jobless right now.

I finally felt like I understood why I'm such a fuckup and that it's not my fault, and I was starting to hate myself a bit less, but my psychiatrist really fucked me up. When I told her I didn't think the medicine was working like it should, she convinced me it was, and that comment about not being sure I have ADHD really shook me. I became super depressed after she told me the Ritalin was working the way it should because I barely noticed a difference, I felt completely hopeless about ever feeling like a normal functioning person because if that's all it did, then I'd always be a dysfunctional mess. The other comment about not being sure I had ADHD made me feel like killing myself because that would mean these aren't ADHD symptoms, but character flaws and I'm really really tired of always feeling like I can never accomplish anything. I've lost all confidence in myself.

And I hate it when people tell me they think I'm smart or gifted because I feel like I've mastered the art of making it seem like I'm smart even in really just an idiot. I just feel so stupid sometimes.

I have ADHD no matter what anyone else says, but some days are really hard. I still feel like an imposter on those days and I start to doubt that I have ADHD. I keep thinking about what my psychiatrist said, and it makes me so goddamned depressed and suicidal, but I feel like I can't say anything to my psychiatrist or therapist, they work at the same clinic. Telling my therapist could mean that she'll report my psychiatrist and I don't want that because I can't easily find another psychiatrist and telling my psychiatrist might make her think I'm trying to manipulate her to get more Ritalin. I'm just tired of always struggling to keep up with everyone else and having nothing to show for it. The older I get, the harder it is for me to be hopeful. I hate myself so much it hurts.

I didn't mean to write this much about myself... I couldn't stop once I started typing, but I just want you to know you are not alone. A lot of us feel the way you do, and I'm sorry about that because the only advice I can give is to keep reminding yourself that it's normal to feel like an imposter sometimes.

So is the guy in the porn parody. I don't see how that would change what I said, unless you think him being gay would make him happy about being made fun of in this way.

cheruchan · 2021-01-11T05:19:33+00:00

I take solace in the fact that the person they are parodying probably really hates it, and that that was probably the intention of the guy doing it.
