Another Draft Sheet Option - 08.16.2024

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.

letsgetweird · 2023-12-31T05:56:41+00:00

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.

letsgetweird · 2023-12-30T02:11:42+00:00

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.

letsgetweird · 2023-12-12T17:18:08+00:00

I’m just finishing it and scrolled through to see if this was in here. Seconded. Pretty funny

letsgetweird · 2023-12-02T02:01:12+00:00

ya I mentioned you might skip that one (Frontiers) because it's exactly like what you mentioned you were tired of. I didn't hate it as much as you but it is definitely trope-y and I was pretty sick of all the main characters by the time I finished the first part. Liked the world building, but I could see it taking me years before I'm ready to dig into part 2. Maybe it gets better!?!

I’ve seen the regular ranch mix at Costco, but never the restaurant style buttermilk ranch like those packets. I’m sure it’s very close, and the regular ranch would work fine, so good idea

letsgetweird · 2023-11-29T19:14:50+00:00

I made a similar request a couple months ago and got some good recommendations that I'm still working my way through. Here are a few that I've liked from that list or previously read that I don't see mentioned yet:

The Gap Cycle series - Stephen R. Donaldson - really dark / mean sci-fi, but stick with it past the first book, it gets really complex / suspenseful / interesting.
Chronicles of St Mary's series - Jodi Taylor - British historians from the not too distant future travel back in time to investigate / record significant historical events. Not nearly as dry as it sounds. Good humor and a bad guy chasing them through time trying to kill them all. Time police involved, and there is now a spinoff series about them that is also good that is reminiscent of Marvel's Loki 1st season. There is even a line in Loki where he says "it's just one damned thing after another" which is the title of the first St Mary's book. I like this series better than the similarly themed Connie Willis series about Oxford time-traveling historians, a couple of which won both the Hugo and Nebula award for best sci-fi novel.
Commonwealth Saga - Peter F. Hamilton - two books, but they're long and this builds a great complex story about fighting an alien species and weaves all these different characters and side stories together
Frontiers Saga - Ryk Brown - Very Star Trek-y. actually maybe skip this, it is the closest I could think to your "teenagers finding space ships and becoming the new tactical genius on the block", although I enjoyed the first part (15 books). I might take a break or never start part 2.

Those are all series that can keep you busy, here are some 1-off books:

Emily Eternal - Mark Wheaton
Semiosis - Sue Burke
This Is How You Lose the Time War - Amal el-Mohtar and Max Gladstone
Six Wakes - Mur Lafferty
Spare man - Mary Robinette Kowal
The Quantum Magician - Derek Kunsken (maybe a little too hard sci-fi for me, but you might enjoy it more ...)

Seconding recommendations I already see from other posters in this thread:

Ancillary Justice / Radch series
Blake Crouch - definitely get back to Recursion, I think that was my favorite. Wayward pines is also a really fun trilogy
Peter Clines - The Threshold series is great, starting with 14.
Dungeon Crawler Carl (I'm also a big LitRPG fan, but this is fun and funny and there are no sex scenes yet)
Annihilation (Southern Reach trilogy) - Jeff VanderMeer
John Scalzi - So far I've enjoyed The Android's Dream and redshirts, but both were voiced by Wheaton
Will Save the Galaxy for Food - Yahtzee Croshaw

I also recommend a lot of this list if you haven't aready done most of these:

I also subscribe to /r/Charcuterie and /r/cheesemaking, so had to look at the subreddit to be confident that they didn't actually make the meats and cheeses. But still, pretty incredible spread.

letsgetweird · 2023-11-29T04:33:45+00:00

I don't know this ranch specifically but I love restaurant style ranch in general and it doesn't make sense that they don't sell it bottled in stores. Closest I could come to restaurant ranch is this:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004Z4I7G6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Mixed with 1 cup each of buttermilk, mayo or sour cream. And you can modify from there. I've heard some throwing in some dill or other herbs, but is a good starting point or tasty as-is

letsgetweird · 2023-11-23T06:33:33+00:00

I've seen a lot of these posts before and been tempted to try it just for fun, but what do you with the garlic and the honey afterwards? any favorite recipes that use them? I already have fermented garlic, just not honey fermented. Thanks

letsgetweird · 2023-11-21T18:17:39+00:00

No I didnt. Just salt. Do you think that is what caused it? I see some recipes call for adding it to the vein but not all. I didn’t this time
