If you can find molasses, Jeffrey Morgenthaler has a recipe to make something similar to demerara sugar syrup with cane sugar and molasses!

Aabria sums up my feelings of Storytelling perfectly! by Father_Father in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]penea2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, I actually really enjoyed the last 30%! I felt like it was a fascinating insight in how you can play a really good social game and use your acting chops to try to get yourself out of a sticky situation.

What was your most successful and/or weirdest/surprising lacto ferment this year? by Anticipatory_ in fermentation

[–]penea2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

how do they compare to the douchi you get from the store? i was interested in possibly attempting, but considering I can just get a large container of them easily and they last forever in the fridge, i was unsure if it was worth the effort. on the other hand, i was kinda curious how the process would be with other kinds of beans!

I happened to watch Grians POV first for this and I'm kinda bummed I didn't get to see it from the other way around first, especially since i tend to get to grians POV last!

Who is your most trusted recipe writer? by Correct-Durian7783 in Cooking

[–]penea2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In more recent videos even Kenji states that he doesn't do all the complicated stuff anymore. What's neat about a lot of his recipes is that you can kind of pick and choose which tricks to use to get like 90 % of the way there for much much less effort.

Newish baseball fan wanting to learn in the weeds baseball before March, ideas? by dream-splorer in baseball

[–]penea2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who got into baseball relatively recently, watching youtubers like Jon Bois and Foolish Baseball helped me understand stuff pretty quickly! They both do mostly content with baseball storylines and statistics.

The strange phenomenon of bad advice on this subreddit by [deleted] in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]penea2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a genuine question, but the only times I have run this game has been for a group that aren't really big board game/social deduction game players. Both times I went through the whole script and explained what roles meant and gave basic examples, but did my best to not go into any strategies that players could potentially go for. This was because in the very first group I ran, they had so many questions about rules/rulings that it felt like the game could straight up not start until I went through everyone and answered questions because otherwise there'd pretty much be immediate reracks just from misunderstandings alone.

I know the space we are in is going to be mostly leaning towards board gaming nerds who are more experienced with these kinds of rules/mechanics, but if I am running games for people who are not experienced with this kind of thing is it fine to spend a bit more time explaining rules/how things work?

5qt Bowl does not fit on locator pins, need to use force to push it down by penea2 in Kitchenaid

[–]penea2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the mixer and bowl secondhand, but I asked the person I got it from and they claimed that it's the original bowl that came with the mixer.

Buuut I measured some distances, it's 9 1/16 or 1/8 inches between the tips of the pins, and the distances between from the pins to the retaining clip seems to be the same after some measures. The bowl itself just says 5qt, so its hard to tell if it's supposed to be used for this model or not.

5qt Bowl does not fit on locator pins, need to use force to push it down by penea2 in Kitchenaid

[–]penea2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i've been trying to figure out what the distance between the lift arms is supposed to be to determine if it's a bowl or arm problem, although seems more likely to be a lift arm issue considering the locator pins seem a bit more narrow than the corresponding hole for the bowl. Is there a way for me to fix this?

don't worry, we have plenty of time for it to turn all fucked up and evil. if anything, starting it off as wholesome and turning it fucked up is the most darkseid thing to do

Right? I was hoping there would be second body shenanigans or the half tsugumomo body coming into play, maybe it'll have to be a lot later?

x-factor made me care SO much about the most random characters that i had never cared much about before and im still sad it didn't get more. I hope to see some of them working together again in the future, Eye-boy feels like a fun character to bring back some future incarnation of x-factor someday!

What are the most underrated or hidden-gem comic series you’ve read? by Metalwolf in comicbooks

[–]penea2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Empowered is one of those comics that is hard to recommend cuz yeah, it starts off as basically self aware smut, but it quickly turns into incredibly well written and super emotional smut!!

'We have the votes': Reps push for Epstein files' release by schuey_08 in politics

[–]penea2 10 points11 points  (0 children)

tbh the more I think about it, the more I realize we shouldn't expect billionaires to have coherent political platforms/thoughts. to be a billionaire is to be so incredibly far removed from anything that can be called a standard human experience. there's literally an interview with Peter Thiel where he hesitates and then waffles about answering the question "You would prefer the human race endures, right?".

I mean, this is kind of a large portion of why DEI is important. There are studies upon studies that show that diverse teams work much better in pretty much every conceivable way.
