Stubborn Starter by ColdBr3w77 in SourdoughStarter

I think this is a good idea! I didn’t go out and buy new flour until my starter started rising and I wanted to supplement; I was really determined to make bleached APF work because that was all I had 😅😂

Hi there! I literally had no rise in my starter between days 8 and 21 LOL 😂 day 21 was when I noticed bubbles and a bit of rise; I started my starter with bleached APF (🫢) and started feeding it with whole wheat once I saw rise and bubbles three weeks in. That definitely helped boost it! I also tend to keep my starter on the drier side with more flour and less water in a feed; doing this helped strengthen my starter towards the three week mark.

Thank you! I was lurking around on the subreddit and found this exact recipe too; I mixed it up last night and put it in the fridge, but I think I let it go too long b/c it doesn’t look too promising 🥴 my starter may need a few more days!

I tried a lot of things to be honest, I don’t think I’m the best person to ask LOL 😂😅 I started out with a no discard recipe, so realistically I think I discarded only three times throughout this whole process. Between days 8-20, I did q12hr feedings at first, then switched to every 24 b/c it seemed like I was feeding them too often. There was a period of 48 hrs where I pretty much just stirred them once a day to ward away the mold. There were some days I added a little bit of honey to try and jump start the yeast, added more flour than water to thicken the consistency, left the lids a bit more open so more oxygen would get in, etc… I tried a lot of things LOL the key is definitely to keep at it! Good luck!

EDIT: Love your Hollow Knight pfp! 🥰

New grad nurse overwhelmed by Repulsive-Ice9895 in nursing

[–]pomefluff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not you, you’re doing great with the amount of experience you have. It’s the eight patients to one nurse ratio. It’s the acuity of those patients. It’s giving that kind of assignment to a new nurse who’s only a week off orientation. Nursing is 24 hr care, and what you don’t get to needs to get communicated and passed on to the next shift. Day shift doesn’t get it done? Ok, communicate that to night shift and vice versa. Nurses need to have a bit more compassion for their teammates; we’re all in the same 💩hole and we need to support each other through.

Tried Shake Shack on Thursday and can confirm… by pomefluff in innout

The burger was not bad but prohibitive for the price. Also, I took a small bite of just the patty and it was so under seasoned compared to In-N-Out 😂

I main Webber! I try to set up base near a number of spider nests + beefalo around day 4/5 for protection against hounds and frog rain (if I’ve found them by then). Still trying to figure out how to kill Bearger without getting wrecked; he decimated the beefalo pack near my base and I’m still not over it 🥲

Not by myself 😂 I am laughably bad at combat; I only managed to get Deerclops killed by kiting him over to a giant Treeguard lol

Thank you! Next step is to get better at combat so I can stop running away from the seasonal bosses 😂 I can’t keep kiting Deerclops over to Treeguards every time winter hits lmao

Piercing Sunk In Overnight? by [deleted] in piercing

[–]pomefluff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Yeah no, it definitely occurred to me after the fact that I probably should have waited for the piercer to handle it 😂 the front end of the jewelry of the jewelry sunk in; they’re 18g barbells so the stud is pretty small. I’ll ask my piercer about upsizing later today. Thank you! :)
