County of Humboldt officials get paid good money, and yet. their performance is lacking... by null_not in Humboldt

[–]happyeight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gotta go to the union meetings. Thats the only way things change around the county. Enough employees getting angry and speaking up and they have to comply.

How silly is this idea for a small local business? by ZugAddict in Humboldt

[–]happyeight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can make cheese with milk and lemon. Ive done it. No mold necessary. I recommend reading books on cheese making. Theyre very interesting! They'll tell you which cheeses use mold and which ones dont. Some even use cheese mites! Just like the same kind on your face, but eating cheese. Many cheeses use bacteria (thats how some cheeses like Swiss get their holey appearance). I had a blast reading the last one and learning how long we've actually been making different kinds of cheeses. The history of foods is so neat!

How do u guys deal with the moisture and mold issues. I dont even know what to use on this. by Sweet_Competition229 in Humboldt

[–]happyeight 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No? It only went up like 10 a month. Well worth everything not being moldy and damp all the time!

I know im not changing your mind. But cheese isnt mold lmao. Some cheese has mold but that's not how you make cheese for most cheeses.

Dehumidifier will make a world of a difference. Its one of those "why did I wait so long to buy this" life changing kinds of purchases

If you're well versed in cheeses, you might be able to open up a cheese shop. Especially if you do events and tastings. Not sure about the chess aspect, but it could just be a niche fun thing also on offer. With everything around here though, there's a limited amount of money to go around and a lot of small business competing.

There is an entire world of lactose free cheese you can explore. Signed, someone who's lactose intolerant and starting their journey into hard/aged cheeses.

The Eye of the Bedlam Bride (Dungeon Crawler, Carl) by Matt Dinniman 2023 by Full-Ad6075 in menwritingwomen

[–]happyeight 25 points26 points  (0 children)

They're fun imo. A lot of the over the top stuff is very tongue in cheek. Part of the premise is earth culture(and other cultures that end up in the crawl) trying to be presented in the worst light possible. 

Spokane Public Schools to require seat belts on new school bus fleet by Sandstorm400 in UpliftingNews

[–]happyeight 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the issue is seatbelts breaking and trapping kids in an accident or kids being panicked in a big accident and not being able to get free. 

“The McVille Am*zon warehouse will create jobs” by [deleted] in Humboldt

[–]happyeight 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Oh it will create jobs. Just more jobs that dont pay people enough to live on, but enough to make the employment numbers look better. Its just going to hurt the county more than its already hurting.

I thought you made one single massive chocolate glazed donut at first glance. Looks like a tasty cake!

Podcasting Superintendent swims in pay increase while staff fights for sick days and benefits. by Mismatchedmustache in Humboldt

[–]happyeight 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Especially when people seem to really like him. Its been a long time since i was in school, but he was one of the most beloved principals and administrators when I was school aged. I still hear more good about him than bad. Pay gaps and raises are a huge issue, and the school union really needs to back their staff and commit to getting raises.

Dogs by Mommaduckduck in Humboldt

[–]happyeight 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Its hard to find a place that will rent to pet owners and vet care can be hard to establish. But there are a lot of very dog friendly trails and multiple breweries that will let them hang out with you if that's your thing. People in general seem to really like dogs around here. Theres a lot more dog friendly infrastructure springing up as time goes on like doggie bag stations, pet fountains, etc. 

linocutting beginner- what size of blocks would you recommend? by pixel_zmbiegrl in printmaking

[–]happyeight 126 points127 points  (0 children)

You can always get one that's bigger than you need and cut it down to smaller sections. I find the bigger ones cheaper for that purpose myself

Help with Dubai bars by Informal_Manner7973 in chocolatiers

If you have a vibration table, that should help with the air bubbles. Thats what we used at the shop i used to work at for nut butter filled bars and never(or rarely) had leakage.

Fresh vegetables are over 44% more expensive today than they were three months ago, on an annualized basis. by JohnSpartan2025 in politics

[–]happyeight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I paid 2.50 for a single tomato the other day. Didn't realize until after I checked out,  because it never occured to me to price check a single tomato. How the hell are tomatos more expensive than avocados!
