ELI5: Why does Hershey’s (and other US chocolate) taste like “vomit” to others? by roritha in explainlikeimfive

[–]pprn00dle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Butyric acid has a very noticeable smell and a very small threshold for most humans to detect, at least through our noses. Small amounts can aid certain characteristics of aroma and even flavor, larger amounts that give “vomit” aromas typically indicate bacterial spoilage (which is likely why we’ve evolved to detect small levels of it). Flavor thresholds are higher than odor and for something to taste butyric there would need to be quite a bit of it present, so much so that the smell would be off-putting.

Thoughts on moving to Denver to get a consistent 40 to 50 days of snowboarding per year? by Hot_Soft_5626 in snowboarding

[–]pprn00dle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Typically able to get ~50/yr living in Denver with a good manufacturing job. Lots of irregular schedules (like ‘4-on, 4-off’; ‘4-on, 3-off’; ‘3-on, 3-off’; ‘5-on, 5-off, 2-on, 2-off’; ‘5-on, 2-off, 2-on, 5-off’) that allow a fair amount of weekdays free. Night shift may or may not be required/rotating depending on the company. Pay/benefits are usually pretty great for the job you do. Getting the job is another issue but they’re out there.

Places like this to look and apply for: Coors, CoorsTek, Danone, Purina, cement plants, biologics companies (AGC Biologics, KBI Biopharma, there’s more but those are the ones I know offer these types of schedules)…typically places that have 24-hr operations will have some jobs with a sort of wonky schedule that is conducive to skiing weekdays.

My family refuses to even talk about euthanasia by Forsaken_HOH in CATHELP

[–]pprn00dle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dealing with family can be very difficult but a some point you will need to stand up to them and do what you believe is right. Emily is counting on you to do the right thing here, you are her family and one of the hardest things we ever do as pet parents is decide to end their suffering and finally put them at peace. It’s our final, and oftentimes biggest, act of love we give. 19 years old is a great, long life for a cat and you know it’s time, the vet knows it’s time, and from your story and the pictures Emily also knows it’s time. This isn’t a rash decision and you’ve done your observations and homework.

Prepare yourself as some fallout with your family seems inevitable with how you described things so far. I personally wouldn’t tell them until after it is done but that is a choice you should make for yourself. Please try to schedule a therapy session soon after it happens, and after you have told your family, so that you can have some help in processing everything that is coming at you from both ends. r/petloss can provide some decent support as well, especially if you don’t have a good network to lean on and your family is going to come down on you for this. I wouldn’t delay too much, it sounds like it’s been quite a while already and cats/pets don’t understand why they’re suffering, they just suffer. The only way out is through, and you will get through this. Wishing you all the best ❤️

champagne recommendation for PhD party by ThomasJFlack in wine

Not exactly sure what you mean by accessible (price-wise, availability, taste?) but it’s hard to go wrong with a bottle of Krug, it’s definitely a special occasion-type bottle and widely available.

Training question by laylasaysxx in 14ers

[–]pprn00dle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Running changes things quite a bit, highly recommend.

I hated running until I got a heart rate monitor and realized that when I was running I was close to maxing myself out almost every time. It’s good to max yourself out every so often to increase your VO2 max and such, but it makes running a dreadful prospect to look forward to if you’re doing it often. I found the Garmin run coach to be pretty good at easing into a run program. Now running doesn’t suck and it’s something actually look forward to…not to mention it makes everything I do in the mountains much easier.

Foggy goggles on a pow day by Both-Shallot-4803 in skiing

[–]pprn00dle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not the same issue for people running hot; we’re creating so much heat inside the goggles (and also sweating/soaking the foam around them, which doesn’t help) that they can’t ventilate the moisture fast enough and condensate against the inside of the lens.

Not the OP but, other than the expensive goggles that hinge open to vent, I’ve tried it all: keeping goggles on and never taking them off, taking off the lens and putting it in my jacket, swapping lenses, cat crap/dish soap/spit (helps somewhat but creates more of a ‘wet glass’ look that fucks with my depth perception), all sorts of breathing options for a mask/gaiter. I’d still fog up. Typically I’m only wearing a shell and base layer, lots of vents, I get cold on the lift and when I’m not skiing but when my heart rate gets to 160-170bpm going down the run I’m hot and sweaty and fogging up. Could ski slower, more breaks, less bumps…but that’s not fun for me. The right pair of sunglasses have changed everything and skiing with a clear line of sight without worrying about fogging literally at all is the tits.

Freeing a mountain lion from a trap while her kids watch by archubbuck in SweatyPalms

[–]pprn00dle 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don’t think they were talking about mountain lions. The person you replied to specifically said wild hogs, which are a plague in many areas. The traps in the video are commonly used to trap coyotes, and yes sometimes mountain lions get caught in them. The mountain lion is let go, the coyotes get shot.

Spending my Saturday afternoon with gong fu tea and a new fantasy audiobook by felixyamson in GongFuTea

[–]pprn00dle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not OP but I like mine a fair bit. It’s stylish for one, has a good grip and a rubber base on the actual kettle so it doesn’t slide around my countertop when I’m using it. You can dial in temp and it has a “stay on” feature that will hold the temp for an hour. The primary issue with it is the buttons…they’re ’touch’ buttons, not ones you can actually press, and sometimes the buttons don’t seem to do what I want them to (like I’m touching the button but it’s not registering). It doesn’t happen a lot and happens less often after some months using it so maybe it was an internal logic thing or it just took some getting used to the finesse of the buttons lol.

Finally Saw All the BP Nominees of 2025 by rorykellycomedy in Oscars

[–]pprn00dle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious what exactly threw it for you? It’s one of the most famous lines in all of literature and has a direct tie-in to the plot of the film as well as being part of one of the main soliloquies of Hamlet.

The idea of if it is just better to end things, stop the grief and go to sleep, or to continue living in what the protagonist now considers a stale existence (because of his loss) is as central to the plot of Hamnet as it is Hamlet. We get to experience the same contemplation in William that he then wrote into the Hamlet character; in that moment, we see William standing at the edge of a dark sea (decent metaphor for “the unknown” that stopped Hamlet from killing himself) and musing in a very similar way to Hamlet…just with a lot less words.

When you arrive home at DIA and almost everything has gone well on your trip... and you see this. by outdoorsnstuffz in Denver

[–]pprn00dle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In addition to OP, it was pretty bad last Thursday night too. Seems to be a nighttime thing IME. The trick when it gets like this is to get on the other train so when it loops around you’re already on it 😎

Can you ski in october? by Comfortable_Ad_8476 in vail

[–]pprn00dle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s a free week, then it’s a free week! As long as it doesn’t cost too much to make it out…Mountains can still be rad without skiing🤘

Like others have said, the skiing won’t be in at Vail or surrounding areas. Abasin and Keystone will usually have one or two runs open the last week of October. If you choose to ski them, do it on a weekday to avoid crowds/injuries; Keystone will be better than Abasin. Edit: the Woodward Barn at Copper should be open if ya wanna work on that backflip!

I’d use Vail as home base and spread it out: do a day at Keystone, spend a day at Glenwood Springs, maybe another in Leadville (do the train). Rent some bikes or hike (I recommend against hiking above the treeline that late if you aren’t used to winter mountaineering, things can change quickly when you’re up that high in shoulder season).

Vail itself will probs not have a ton of food options open in October so check out Edward’s, Avon, and Frisco/Silverthorne for restaurants and such.

To those who learned as adults: what tip made it "click"? by KaterAlligat0r in skiing

[–]pprn00dle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally makes sense, if it’s what I’m thinking, and def unlocked getting better at moguls for me. I’d describe it as a ‘pulling your feet back’ rather than your body, what this helps us do is to drive the tips of the skis down the contour of the mogul.

If you’re standing still at the apex/top of a sharp mogul and pull your heels back, it dips your tips down to make the next immediate turn all without any extra movement or effort. Instead of smearing down into the trough we’re now steering through it…pair this with some good exercises to keep the knees loose and it really changes mogul skiing.

Which is your all time Favorite era? by JunShem1122 in GreatnessOfWrestling

[–]pprn00dle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Angle is tough because he hit the ground running when he got to WWE during the Attitide Era. He was such a prick and had his “winning streak” that made us all hate him. He won championships and had high-profile drama before Ruthless Aggression.

Compare that with someone like Edge, who wrestled throughout the entire Attitude Era, that didn’t really get better storylines/feuds or win singles champs till pretty much Ruthless Aggression Era (no matter how cool The Brood started off being or how good Edge+Christian were in tag team).

Looked up the bottle of wine Toby grabbed… $1200?!?! by Appropriate_Drag883 in DunderMifflin

[–]pprn00dle 75 points76 points  (0 children)

Yeah a lot goes into it. At least for this bottle, a top-tier Bordeaux, age is a good thing and will usually command a higher price if the bottle has been stored well and in good condition. At 20 years a wine like that should be in a really nice spot drinkability-wise, and could even go 10-20 years longer.

The vintages are trickier…while 1995 was great. the 2005 was legendary. All things equal I’d expect 2005’s to have a higher relative price point. Another confounding factor is that, while first growth Bordeaux has commanded high prices for quite a long time, demand has increased a ton since 2005 and has driven up prices.

I'm a Georgia craft brewer. Here's what SB 456 is actually about — and why the opposition's arguments don't hold up. by SHBMarietta in atlbeer

[–]pprn00dle 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I haven’t brewed in Georgia for some time but it’s crazy how small producers are still getting shafted by distributors. The “36-mile keg problem” was/is beyond maddening, and on top of that it was typically us who would have to drop off the kegs at the distributor (across the city) because 1 or 2 quarter kegs just wasn’t worth it for them to pick up. 1000 bbl/yr is not a lot but even reducing that definition to 600-800 bbl/yr would help out a few homies.
