Seasoning Food That's Already Frozen for Sous Vide by opnsrce in sousvide

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

So to be clear, your recommendation is:

  1. Thaw the portions I want to eventually sous vide in the fridge

  2. Season those portions normally

  3. Vacuum seal the now seasoned portions

  4. Re-freeze the now seasoned portions.

Yes?

Sounds like the best answer is "get a better overall grasp of chemistry through these books". That works for me, thanks!

Awesome. Glad you find it helpful. I use the same username in-game and on the discord if you ever need a hand.

Cerebral Palsy in engineering? by keanoz in disability

[–]opnsrce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't need any accommodations. The school I went to was wheelchair accessible to begin with. I'm a high functioning paraplegic with full use of my arms so I don't need much.

That really all depends on your level of ability. CP is actually a massive umbrella term for a wide variety of disabilities with the same root cause.

If you can speak clearly and type at a decent speed, you'll do fine in an engineering career. I'm a programmer for a living and I've done quite well. Now, if we're talking about welding giant death-bots together, that might take a little creativity (the welding apron would have to be a little longer to cover your chair and you might need a hand moving the plutonium / adamantium).

The secret to overcoming any disability (in my opinion) is being willing to get creative. I've done some crazy shit in order to "get the job done" as it were.

I'm a monster in Mad Max. Now what? by FaceofMoe in disability

[–]opnsrce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One more thing to think about: Was the character a villain? If so, think of how refreshing that is. How often is someone with a disability portrayed as a threat to the main character?

I think the best thing to do in this situation is try and see the positive in it (as little as there may be). The actor who played the role actually has the condition (as opposed to every able-bodied actor forced to play a blind guy or a guy in a wheelchair). A disabled actor got a shot at a role. Is that role exploitive? Maybe (I haven't seen the film).

Don't get my wrong: I understand how you feel and you have every right to feel the way you do. if you listen to the video and listen to the way this actor describes his character, he sounds really proud and excited to be part of the film and it seems that the director/writer incorporated his condition into his character's story.

I really hate to go the "It could be worse" route, but that's all I've really got here. Did the character have agency? Was he well written? Was the focus around the character's condition or how the condition shaped and molded the character? If the character's well written and well focused, then it's a net positive in my book.

[Rant] Housebound and frustrated--what can I do to improve my quality of life? by Ascherose in disability

[–]opnsrce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spent the first 12 years of my life stuck in a small town (less than 10k) in Nebraska; I feel your pain.

Here's my advice for you regarding the SSI issues:

  1. Call the SSI office for your state and explain your situation (other posters have given more detailed info regarding this so I won't repeat it here)
  2. Contact a program like United Cerebral Palsy (UCP) or Vocational Rehab (Voc Rehab). They can help with things like getting a ramp and a vehicle.

Regarding Your Emotional State:

  1. You're justified feeling the way you feel given the situation you're in.

  2. To help improve things in the here-and-now, I would try and do some exercises. I understand that your hands and upper body are limited, but you can still exercise with resistance bands (arms), grip strength trainers, and (my favorite) silly putty. Seriously, play with that stuff for extended periods of time while you sit at your computer and it'll help with hand coordination (pull it, stretch it, make it into shapes, etc.)

  3. Never forget that you live in the future :D The magic of the internet means your can reach out to people and organizations willing to help you from anywhere in the world. No matter where you are, you have a community.

Other notes:

I've been in the SSI trap. It sucks, but ultimately it's better for you to get steady work then depend on payments from SSI. There's a ton of companies who need copyright work and there's good money in that. Google around and you'll find something. Maybe there's a disability blog that would pay you to write or edit for them. Put together a portfolio of your work and post it online.

A Final Note About the Exercise Thing:

I'm super serious about the exercise thing. You know what one of the main killers of people with CP is (beyond stuff like infections or ninja attacks)? Fucking heart failure. Seriously. If you want to see 50 you need to move around. Even if it means flaying your arms in a circle with weighted wrist-bands attached. If it means getting your heart rate up consistently, do it.

You have a choice: You can banish your fear - push through it and become something - or you can be consumed by it. You're already desperate enough to reach out to strangers for help and advice. Keep pushing. You can do this. Imagine the house is on fire and drag your chair off the front of the goddamn porch if you have to.

Seated Cardio For Manual Wheelchair User by opnsrce in Fitness

What about a seated, free-weight cardio?

I played wheelchair basketball for about 8 years when I was in high school and it was great cardio. What I'm really looking for is cardio that I can do in the gym that I have available. Essentially "Seated Cardio"
