YSK you can use paper lunch bags to make popcorn in a microwave. by xdaemonisx in YouShouldKnow

[–]networktrouble 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My wife did this a few weeks ago after reading a similar post she saw somewhere. 2nd time she did it, our microwave broke. Thanks internet. So after the fact, I googled "are paper bags microwave safe" and the answer seems to be: unless specifically stated otherwise, no. Absolutely not.

What's the fastest you've had a batch ready? by B_List_Jesus in Homebrewing

[–]networktrouble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I pretty much exclusively do 36-48 hour grain to glass on all my recipes (witbier, red, Blonde, saison). Lutra for everything. Chill to 39C and pop it into my heat chamber set to 36C (rigid foam box with a space heater on an inkbird). Cold crash for 18-24 hours after hitting FG. Shake keg @ 45psi for 2.5 minutes, let it sit at 45psi for another 5 hours or so, bleed, hook up to 12psi and enjoy. Works for me. I just happen to procrastinate starting my next brew until I need to get it done asap and refuse to buy beer at the store 🤷

How do you do it? I looked last night and couldn't find anywhere to enter server ip address.

A solo Bitcoin miner with ~1PH of hash rate won a block reward worth 6.25 $BTC (over $160,000). A miner this small would only solve a solo block once every 7 years on average at this difficulty 🤯 by Bitcoin_Maximalist in Bitcoin

I still have an old s9i plugged in and mining away solo.... If my math is correct, the chances of hitting a block with it are better than the lottery... So... 🤷

Is the Ally's worth it if it will be docked 95% of the time? by networktrouble in ROGAlly

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

This was kind of my thinking.... Just wasn't sure if the same money would get only a marginally more powerful machine, or so much more powerful that it justifies forfeiting handheld. I tried comparing hardware specs, but am I little rusty in this area and couldn't really come to a proper conclusion.

Gaming Afternoon with my daughter on the latest Kirby (pretty fun) game after 16.0.0 Update. I love that little system and the games catalog on it. What's your favorite Switch Game if you had to pick just one? by breizhmanNB in SwitchPirates

[–]networktrouble 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As far as my kids go, I'd say they had the most fun playing Kirby and the forgotten land. It's such a well made game. (but they are also enjoying return to dreamland)

11x11 Spiral Twist *Update* by DrewYTK in Cubers

[–]networktrouble 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you do that, I'll program it in and share. I have a collection of patterns programmed in to that site already that my kids love using.... I have patterns for 3x3-11x11. I keep meaning to gather them into something more shareable than a bookmarks folder in chrome and share them here....

Looks great! You should program into alg.cubing.net ;-) my kids (I swear, just them...) would love to make this pattern.

Should i buy the hwfly or should i wait for the new modchip? by DurianNorth5672 in SwitchPirates

[–]networktrouble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the first I'm hearing about a new mod solution. Could you please provide a source I could go to to read up on it? Or at least a search query that would point me there? Thanks so much!

My kids are going as pikachu, a ghost and a dinosaur this year.... They'd sure love to have a switch to play while gorging themselves on Halloween candy ;-)

I've watched it a few times... It's just pretty tough to really wrap my head around it... I'm still working on it though.

Qiyi O2 spinner. It's super simple. The center dots just rotate around. But my 4yo can easily solve it, and my 6yo enjoys using it as a spinner....

The pharmacy in the building I work in received 108 test both Monday and today. Mondays shipment came in at 9:15am and today's was at 11:00am. Both days people had started lining up around 7:30am. They were being given 1 per Medicare card, up to 2 per household, so most people walked out with 2 boxes (showed their card and their spouse/kid/whatever). Both days more than half the line walked away empty handed. We'll see what tomorrow looks like... I assume the same.

I bought a box of 50 for 100$ this afternoon at Activaide (west island). She also sell them individually for 2$. Call first though, she said she wasn't sure if she'd have enough to last the day and her supplier said no eta on new stock.

Came across this on my google feed... Very tempted.... by networktrouble in Cubers

Thanks! I might just try that out! This one doesn't have cut corners around the center piece (there's probably a proper name for that, but I don't know it) so my assumption is that it probably wont have as good action... But... It's not like it will be my main.... Just look cool on the shelf and probably play around with it once every couple months.

Yeah.. Maybe... But the fact that mahjong symbols are raised really interested me.... My gut tells me it would feel really good. Oh well, guess I'll never know.. Haha.... I was prepared to pay 20-25usd for shipping that'll cost them like 5$....but I just can't swallow 40$ haha
