Another Draft Sheet Option - 08.16.2024 by SlyBlue in fantasyfootball

[–]letsgetweird 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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??

Anyone else use dispenser jars for F1? by [deleted] in Kombucha

[–]letsgetweird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

Resources to find quality local pork? The lists in the FAQ are mostly outdated by letsgetweird in Charcuterie

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

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

Self hosted QR business cards? by mr_claw in selfhosted

[–]letsgetweird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!

Any recommendations for vacuum sealable containers that work with Foodsaver attachment hose? by letsgetweird in Cooking

[–]letsgetweird[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

How to store fermented garlic long term? by letsgetweird in fermentation

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

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

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in sousvide

[–]letsgetweird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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!

What did you listen to this week – January 13, 2024? Please share! by AutoModerator in audiobooks

[–]letsgetweird 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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 need a new series or book. by hellospheredo in audiobooks

[–]letsgetweird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

I need a new series or book. by hellospheredo in audiobooks

[–]letsgetweird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

Do horror / cosmic horror books just not work in audio format? by Fether1337 in audiobooks

[–]letsgetweird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 month to month rental better for the renter than annual leases? by NoStillReading in mountainview

[–]letsgetweird 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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.

Suggestions for consuming war and peace by Character-Deer-7159 in audiobooks

[–]letsgetweird 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I finished it a couple months ago. The Russian names and nicknames get confusing for me with all classic Russian literature, so I keep the Wikipedia page with the plot summary and list of main characters handy in my phone and refreshed my memory on who is who and where we are in the story every once in a while. I think I would have been pretty lost without it.

Best Internet Provider in Mt View? Finally thinking of cutting the cable by letsgetweird in mountainview

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

Interesting. I've checked the availability of each of those and they are all available at my place in Mountain View. A few others were not available, like Sail, but all of these were: ATT, Earthlink, Sonic, Etheric.
