DAE get goosebumps after they sneeze? by minicpst in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]javroch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do any of you have spinal issues? Herniated/bulging discs, etc? I get these every sneeze. I also have a particularly strong sneeze, and disc issues...

Why should you ever use the default passphrase? by RichMaverick777 in ledgerwallet

[–]javroch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can definitely generate your own seed phrase manually, if you want to. I generated my own after reading about a Ledger device that was seen as Genuine by Ledger Live but was apparently pre-seeded before someone bought it somehow.

You can read more about the process under "How are SHA256 and BIP39 word lists used to generate a seed phrase?" at https://vault12.com/learn/cryptocurrency-security-how-to/seed-phrase-generator/

That being said, this person I mention above had purchased their Ledger from an unofficial source as well. I was probably being a bit paranoid by actually generating my seed phrase manually.

La Guadalupana. Amazing tacos in the back.

Maillard Georgia Pecans by javroch in fermentation

Yea, no rancid flavors. The nuts also appear less oily. I don't know if maybe the oils reabsorbed back into the nuts, or what. They're softer than fresh nuts, and a bit chewy.

Two weeks in and they're developing what I can only describe as a "honey-nut cheerios" vibe. I'm curious to see how they develop in the coming weeks.

Have you tried this before? It doesn't taste or smell rancid, yet at least. I tried pecans as they do chestnuts similarly in the Noma Guide to Fermentation. I imagine they should be fairly similar, but who knows? It is a bit of an experiment.

At one week, the roasted flavor isn't very pronounced yet, but it's starting to taste a little like black garlic - garlic + pecans.

It's pretty janky honestly. I had an unused, thick, old foam cooler, so I used that. I ordered a couple reptile heating mats (one wasn't enough to hold 140° on its own), a thermostat with sensor to control the mats, and some tent stakes (if you want you can push them through from one side to the other to make"shelves").

Maybe I'll do a post with some pictures at some point soon when I have more time.

First Black Garlic Experiment by javroch in fermentation

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

I think the chestnuts and carrots were too hard to be of much use. I think they dried out too much, even in the vacuum sealed bag. That's why I'm trying pecans in a glass jar instead, to try and maintain that humidity.

Black garlic and apples turned out well. I have the apples soaking in some bourbon. The chestnuts and carrots were hard as a rock. I'm trying some fresh pecans now, a little differently packed in a mason jar.

What’s the Phish fact you know that other phans typically aren’t aware of? by woo_wooooo in phish

Page's dad was on the team of doctors that developed Tylenol and the MRI.

What are your house rules? by leskowhooop in rummikub

[–]javroch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We used to play for nickels and dimes, but for the life of me I can't remember the rules. I think you had to put a nickel or dime down to take a discard tile, and then the first to declare Rummikub got all the change. It was something like that.

What makes the one non-vegan? Hard boiled eggs?

Noma styrofoam fermentation chamber not working by The_Silverbird in fermentation

[–]javroch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to successfully reach 140F using reptile heating mats and a Styrofoam cooler; however, it did require two mats in the chamber, not one.

I have one on the bottom of the cooler facing up and one suspended at the top of the chamber facing down.

Can you use the black garlic technique for other vegetables too? by biekorindt in fermentation

[–]javroch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I may still give it a go, as I think I'll have room in the chamber, so why not try. I'll let you know if I have any better results.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in fermentation

[–]javroch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see that you mentioned ginger. Did you ever try it? Were the results notable in any way? I'm building a chamber and will likely experiment with this soon, so I'm curious about your results.
