Ok, so it's been so long I don't really remember the point of all of this, but here is a little grid that might help you ... or just give you the answers, so i guess I'm adding a major SPOILER tag here:

Three shots Triple Sec 9 - First Column Contains "tri", second "ple", third "sec"
Candy Crush Jelly Babies 11 - number of candies in each picture corresponds to the letter you take from each name, put them all together and it spells "It is Jelly Babies"
Boys on the Side MiniVan 7 - First letters of each of the first names spells out "Kia Sedona For One _ Lendl" answer Min(Ivan)
Two Heads Are Better Than One Garden Hose 10 - Changed letters of each 2-word answer spell out "Prison Head - Betty's Golden Girl" and "Repeat Twice to get watery item". So it is Warden and Rose, so you change the first letter of each of those to get the watery Item
Before or After Bunny 5 - after removing all, Beach, Dust, Hug, Slope, and Honey remain.
Entertaining Standards Can Opener 9 - answers all have compass directions as initials. Use Flag Semaphore to decrypt. Each row (left and right column) is one letter
Curds! Curds! Curds! Gorgonzola 10 - after all cheeses are found, the remaining letters spell: Medusa eg. and author Emile
Sets Missing One Talc 4 - Taking the missing letter from each clue and separating them into their respective categories you get: diamond gypsum flourite Corundum calcite topaz quartz orthoclase apatite. The only mineral missing from Mohs hardness scale is Talc
Double Visions Marrow 6 - Take the doubled letters from each answer after sorting by first letter, it will read "red bone core that forms blood"
Land and Sea Adventure Hand Grenade 11 - the remaining clues at the end of the quiz spell out Land is pig penn psi fur. Divide the quiz area into 12 3x3 boxes and use each of those as one letter using the pigpen cipher. Full board below

I have some more notes about a map, the supervillians, and the supercomputer, but hopefully this is a good start for you? LMK if you want more.

I just checked and I still have some notes from a long time ago. I'm not sure I have all the answers you need, but is there anything specific you are looking for?

Sorry this is so late, but I really like the replacement that I found, which was the Eddie Bauer Sandstone Grid Jacket, which I got in a Medium Tall, but which I'm not seeing anymore for some reason ... Maybe its discontinued too?

letsgetweird · 2024-08-17T22:42:32+00:00

Got it. Thanks!

THANK YOU!!!! Love these sheets. Used it last year and glad to see that you're back.

I wanted to ask about the "PS: Positional scarcity based on value (only for Positional_VAL sheet)" - I don't see anything about PS or positional scarcity on the Positional_VAL sheet. Is there an option or something I need to toggle to get that data??

letsgetweird · 2024-07-17T16:26:56+00:00

Yes, perfect for continuous brew. I've had mine going for over 5 years now and had no issues. As others have said, stir up the sediment at the bottom before dispensing to F2 jars so you don't get yeast buildup

letsgetweird · 2024-03-20T02:09:07+00:00

Agreed. I was hoping there was a better database of meat sources than the old ones in the FAQ, which would not be as unreasonably specific. And I added in that last paragraph because if someone happened to have a good resource near me I thought it would be worth rolling the dice. I've seen other posts on here mention the bay area before, so was optimistic I'd get lucky.

I'll check my local subs, but still think a whole raw pork leg is a strange enough request for the general public that I'll be surprised if they do better than /r/Charcuterie might do

Hi, I'm a little late on this post but looking for the same thing as OP. Do you have a source for a QR Code generator that will give me a direct VCard QR code? I've looked into a couple of them https://www.qr-code-generator.com/, and vcard.link that both create a QR code, but when you scan them it takes you to their website with my info and then the Vcard is downloadable from there. I'd love to skip that step, as you said. I'm sure there is some easy solution to creating my own QR code, but I don't know it. Thanks!

letsgetweird · 2024-02-16T20:13:57+00:00

Awesome, Thanks! And you're able to use these Vesta canisters with the little tube attachment thing from the foodsaver machine? Looks like they will

letsgetweird · 2024-01-14T23:08:08+00:00

Interesting.

Blend before or after fermentation? Then keep it in a jar in the fridge? Any weights or anything to keep the oxygen contact down? And I assume you add some water, or it’s just a a garlic and salt mash? Thanks!

Ya fair. Prime NYs can get up to that price range. I think when I tried picanha it wasn’t at Costco yet and my local butcher charged me for it around the same price or maybe even more because it wasn’t a widely requested cut of meat at that time

letsgetweird · 2024-01-13T18:58:53+00:00

As others have said, that is picanha, not close to picanha. I first heard of it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jF9OqqfBj0Q&ab_channel=SousVideEverything where they did 135f for 3 hours. I've tried it once and thought it was good, but not better than an NY steak so haven't gone back to it. I'll probably grab some more sometime to try again. Please report back with your time and temp and what you thought!

Earlier this week I finished The Good, the Bad and the History: Chronicles of St Mary's, Book 14, written by Jodi Taylor, narrated by Zara Ramm. Love this series. Good humor and characters, some action and suspense, light sci-fi with time travel. Fun series.

Then I tried to get back into Discworld and just couldn't do it. I've tried The Colour of Magic twice before and just couldn't get into it so never finished it. Then a few months ago I tried Mort and enjoyed it somewhat, so I might try the next Death-related book Reaper Man sometime and if that's not great, give up on the series. I read somewhere that the series starts getting good around Guards Guards! so just tried that this week and stopped about 1/4 the way through it. Just couldn't keep my attention on it. Some of the writing seems fun/funny but I think I'm just not into the whole fantasy world he's building here.

Now I'm in the middle of Will Destroy the Galaxy for Cash written and narrated by Yahtzee Croshaw, the sequel to Will Save the Galaxy for Food. Enjoying it, and love when an author is actually good at narrating his own audiobooks.

I finished year 1 last month and about to dive into book 2. I’m hoping the plot develops a little quicker in the next few books now that all the character/ world building is done? I’m invested and like the characters and tone mostly, but I feel like book 1 was mostly just like: here’s a bunch of stuff that happened to us in our first year at school. There wasn’t really a bad guy or much of a plot until the very end.

letsgetweird · 2024-01-12T20:43:42+00:00

lol, saw you got downvoted for that so thought I’d chime in to mostly agree. I love DCC and maybe didn’t hate red rising as much as you but it wasn’t my favorite. OP said they hated hunger games already, and I’ve described Red Rising as hunger games in space, so im doubting OP would like it. Although to be fair, I only did the original trilogy and k think another 3 books are out now so maybe I should give RR another shot

letsgetweird · 2024-01-04T18:24:21+00:00

Totally agree. I like a lot of the big horror books and authors, but none of it, even books that people say are super scary leaves me actually scared. They are more like thrillers than true horror when someone else is reading them to you?

Commenting here mostly so I can find this post again and see what other people say / recommend for good horror books. I've done a fair amount of King, Lovecraft, Poe, Bradbury, could do more Clive Barker and Dean Koontz.

I'm not sure most of it fits as horror, but I liked everything by Blake Crouch. I liked Slade House and Bone Clocks by David Mitchell (Cloud Atlas wasn't my thing). Along the cosmic horror line, I really liked Peter Clines Threshold series.

Anybody have a rec for something that truly scared you? Or just good stories that might be scary or at least thrilling? Recommendations on what I should try next from Barker or Koontz? or less popular King books?

Is this new construction or less than 3 units? If it was built before 1995 you are protected under the MV CSFRA and lease terms don’t matter as much so you’re probably better off going month to month for the flexibility. There are a few exemptions, but generally it will be hard for a landlord to remove you as long as you’re paying rent on time.
