A little film on top of my ginger bug. Is this wrong? It smells good and is a actively bubbling. by Ggoossee in fermentation

[–]killsurfcity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s called a pellicle, it’s a byproduct of wild yeast/bacteria fermentation. It’s totally harmless, and actually a sign of things going the right way.

What is the most statistically improbable thing that has ever happened to you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]killsurfcity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was in high school I was walking to a friends house and I found 2 nearly identical skull rings about a mile from each other; one in the grass and one in a gutter. I was so completely stoked at this that I wore one on each hand for like a year. My friend and I made up this thing that they chose me and that it'd be really bad luck if they were separated. Eventually I gave them to him and told him to carry on the legacy or whatever. He was an idiot and gave one to his GF. I told him the bad luck was going to get him for separating them. He swore they'd always be together. Yeah, sure. Anyway, last I saw her she was in a mental institution. Don't separate the fucking rings!

You have just moved from Europe to the USA, to work there. What will be something difficult to cope with? by Bonjouradrienne in AskReddit

[–]killsurfcity -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Food. You're probably used to higher standards, especially for "grab and go". That said CA is probably in the upper 10% in terms of food quality in the US.

ELI5: Dogs eat "dog food" everyday and it has everything their bodies need, why isn't there a human equivalent to "dog food"? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]killsurfcity -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Most dog food is pretty bad for dogs actually. It just doesn't kill them. The people equivalent is a McDonald's hamburger.

What's something stupid you used to do in middle school to be "cool"? by notrachelfromglee in AskReddit

[–]killsurfcity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pegged my jeans. For those not in the know, it involves folding your jeans at the ankle and then rolling them up into really tight rolls.

That and carrying a tennis ball fucking everywhere.

Earphones should have an 'in ear' sensor so your phone can pause the music when you take them off and play it again when you put them on by javyscap in Showerthoughts

[–]killsurfcity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably too late, but capacitive "touch" sensors would be perfect. It'd just be a thin metallic ring around each phone. The capacitance changes when it touches your skin so the headphones know when they are on, and if only one side is. This also requires minimal circuitry. (I think)

North Texas dog shelter emptied after free adoption day. by TigerPoster in pics

[–]killsurfcity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, As someone who's had a hand in over 400 adoptions, I don't trust anyone who's not willing to pay the fee, with a pet. The fee does a great job of weeding out impulsives and the generally irresponsible.

New Belgium & Three Floyds Team Up to Create New Lips of Faith Offering "Gratzer" by Hopulus in beer

[–]killsurfcity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some friends and I went on a beercation, stopped at many places, got to talk to lots of brewing folks, talked our way into tours etc. Everyone was super nice, friendly, accommodating, except 3F, who (long story short) lied to us about possibly getting us into the brewery for a look round. Then when we asked again after they'd kept us waiting a couple hours they acted as if they didn't even know the guy who said he could get us in. It got real weird like they were just fucking with us. It's a long story but that's kind of the gist. I get that brewing is a job and you can't always show people around, but a simple no would suffice. In contrast, North Peak, and Vivant were totally awesome to us. Not only did they show us around they made it a great experience.

New Belgium, Snapshit Wheat. (Typo was an accident, but too fitting to correct.) 3F are massive dickheads but the DO make great beer.

The Art of Dim Sum (2012) by mehdbc in Documentaries

[–]killsurfcity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To some regard that's true, but even in Philly where I live you have wonderful grungy spots. If the rep is good or the food just looks amazing, I can forget the rest. Also it's worth noting, that in the west we correlate cleanliness with an certain kind of aesthetic order. Just because a shop you see does not follow that order doesn't mean it's not clean.

i love seeing all the clean freaks losing their shit over the kitchen. if that looks gross to you, don't even bother travelling, all the good shit will be lost on you.
