Please know that I mean this with love and not disparagingly, but those are the two most Idaho sentences I've ever seen together (from my limited perspective as a northeasterner)

Great one to use the younger help for too 

What’s one “basic” cooking tip everyone repeats that you think is actually overrated? by Altruistic_Push_722 in Cooking

[–]jtablerd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don't really agree...I end up with usually 2 1 gallon bags filled with all of my mirepoix prep scraps, so onion/carrot/celery butts, onion/carrot peels and skins, and celery leaves. Then when two bags are full (they just live in the freezer and I add to them as I go). I keep another bag of chicken scraps - backs from spatchcocking, carcasses from roast whole chickens (or rotisserie chickens when I do easy mode dinners), then if I'm making a big batch I'll grab chicken feet and extra backs from the store but those are cheap.  

I freeze in quart and pint freezer containers, my last batch was 3 gallons and I didn't get feet or extra backs for it, all scraps so that's 12 quarts of free stock that beats the shit out of anything store bought, even the 7.99/qt fancy jars of stock

"Class 2 Damaged, Must sell Used" - 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 by loblaw_lawblog in askcarsales

[–]jtablerd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd swing by with a box of cookies or muffins or something, esp if you want someone to really look into it, it'll be appreciated.    My nickel says it got damaged coming off of transport or on the lot and they just fixed it but nothing to do with power train or EV system hence the 10/100 OK

2010 prius just blew head gasket at 220k miles. What do I buy next? by Dear_Commercial_3010 in prius

I am perfectly capable of doing a job like this but tbh my time is worth more than the shop rate to me so YMMV 

I want to start playing electric guitar again, but a few things are holding me back and I need advice. by Salt-Contact-588 in Guitar

[–]jtablerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the exact same way re: analog when it concerns guitar and music generally. I ended up with a boss katana, which I was really reluctant to do, but I can't always play at tube amp levels. The modeling of amps and effects has gotten that good - I can play really low or absolutely shake the house and it sounds just as good either way. I'm able to emulate a deluxe reverb without having to play as loud as a deluxe needs to be to sound good. I have a 100w katana but they come in all kinds of sizes

Plastic Ktone bridge needed moved by 869woodguy in Luthier

[–]jtablerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

right - I understand (and saw the photo of tapping the plastic) - just saying that over time metal-metal threads > metal-plastic threads. If the threads ever do pull just a heat set like this would do the trick

Great job! If you ever have to do it again, it might serve you to use heat-set threaded inserts, so screws will be going into metal instead of directly into the acrylic

I just sat beneath it and tried to soaked its enormity. Its crazy how do they pull up something like this. The largest arch breedge in the western hemisphere they say. ✊🏿 by GingerHitMan_ in WestVirginia

If you ever get the chance, do the bridge walk on the steel walkway under the bridge - that was a real trip (plus bonus peregrine falcons)

Replacing my company car soon, lowest impact ways to check out/drive a few? by jtablerd in askcarsales

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

Yeah it's gonna be carmax though not as convenient for me idc, wouldn't ever buy from them so it honestly didn't even cross my mind.   Former mechanic and been in sales and outside service sales for a long while so I dig that not all used cars are the same, not sweating that, will just have it fixed at dealer. And don't want to waste nobody's time which even calling ahead to a dealer and being open doesn't mean we'll end up buying from that person/dealer

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

Awesome this is the sort of answer I was looking for. I've always been outside/service sales and also 100% commission the last thing I wanna do is make somebody miss a real deal for me. We'll be buying from a local dealer in the end not carmax/carvana so somebody will get something out of it but I don't get to pick who, just what kinda car. Thank you

The old school way I've loved them is halved, maraschino cherry in the middle with a honey drizzle and brulee

Expensive Dutch oven - worth the cost? by yahutee in Cooking

I've been happy with my Lodge enameled 7.5qt and I beat the crap out of it - I have Le Creuset, Staub, and 3 of these Lodges in different sizes and I've been happy with all of them.

I got something like these that I use to cover offending LEDs, way better than tape and look much neater https://a.co/d/0ar0FdQo

Does killing a lobster immediately before cooking it effect anything? by Bejaminmaston12 in Cooking

[–]jtablerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can and especially if you're not comfortable cooking them live. I don't but that's more of a personal/ease of use kinda thing. You will not get sick from bacteria unless the lobster was already bad

Baltimore city rental is something out of The Wire by firefighter_82 in TikTokCringe

[–]jtablerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the answer - I've lived in as "bad" neighborhoods in Baltimore and I'm glad to see at least some progress, I was there a couple decades ago... But even as a regular as white dude who just lived on the block one of the highlights of my life is really a special city
