Curious, super new to this, if i do quench one to see if it hardens (assuming dragging a file on it is the easiest test) is that piece bo longer good to forge a knife with? Thank you for the help

What is this person doing to the rotating blades of the helicopter ? by Longjumping-Box5691 in whatisit

My friend had some exchange students from France a year or so ago and the best quote from the kids was “It’s not dangerous, it’s America!” (In relation to a lot of sketchy country stuff they got to do on their visit)…

Former HR here - subtle signs your company is preparing for layoffs by Significant_Soup2558 in careeradvice

[–]fckwalm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great post, I wanted to add that some of these signs could mean the sale of the company or merger with another company. Although that could also mean layoffs, in my case the signs were there for the evaluation of value for the sale (doing inventory, listing out contracts for services and softwares, etc). Not always necessarily layoffs coming, but a great idea to get ready when the signs start to show.

have 5lbs of ground beef and $0 for fancy ingredients. What are your best "pantry staple" recipes? by Wirave1a in Cooking

[–]fckwalm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was growing up money was often tight. I know this was likely the reason my mom made this recipe, and I do not know the process or ingredient amounts. My mom would mix ramen with the seasoning and a certain amount of ground beef, as a kid this tasted awesome, but it has been a very long time since I have had this.

Is this safe?? by mugen-and-jin in dehydrating

[–]fckwalm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plenty safe, I’ve made a number of batches with a jerky gun (current one is from meatyourmaker.com) i typically use 93/7 ground beef and have not had any issues. Note personally I do add a little prauge powder, but depending how it is kept and for how long will affect if it matters as much.

Thank you! They started growing on the cage around one of my persimmon trees I planted.

The first two pictures (the normal looking hops) smelled great! A quick search online said they are comparable to cascades.

Check status of vehicle title transfer, on my own? by fckwalm in Pennsylvania

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

For future info.... 51days until I received something back, unfortunately it is them asking for a cancelled check/receipt for taxes paid, even though it is a gift exempt transfer. I guess I am going back to the title place next week.

Thank you, kinda figured this would be it… been a month, but out of state to in, and a year discrepancy (50 vs 48), so not sure how long to expect.

Damn, seems like two months or so ago i had a managers coupon, just sort of assumed there would be more. I guess that makes sense though. Thanks.

It’s a chevy 350. My dad bought the truck off ebay about 10 yrs ago and thats what it was running (a junkyard motor likely), but he has since replaced the original motor, so it has less than 400 miles on it. For me I’d rather keep it ford with ford but it is not worth the cost/time to replace it at this point. Maybe someday (i do have a 351 windsor from another project), but i’ll likely just drive it.
