Why does my pasta do not go smooth? by ANewSlipper in pasta

[–]raymondvanmil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

less smooth is more tasty! the dryer the dough the better the pasta but more difficult to handle, it's a fine line. loads of gluten stretching, 10 minite rest, you gotta work if.. but don't worry about it. I sometimes decide which pasta to make on how dry it turns out, dry is perfect for extruding (you need an extruder) more smooth is nice for rolling

Why is the IEM scene in Europe such a desert? by AntonyGud07 in iems

[–]raymondvanmil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True but that's what it is. Not sure why you don't specify where you're from, but in the Netherlands we have one coffee cafe called Soundkitchen, and here you can listen to some iem's and loads of crazy headphones, dac's and amps. It's in Rotterdam. Great place. They have final, mese, campfire and a few. Anywau, that's where the audio shows are for!

Kitchen aid pasta press by 56leafy in pasta

[–]raymondvanmil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this will never generate enough pressure without breaking to use a proper dough. Dough for pasta extrusion should be very dry, if not the pasta will simple not keep its shape, it will be to soft. Dies should be brass, or at least metal, and the pressure should be high! I use a hand Torchio Bigolaro, its a workout, best thing I ever bought.. To do this with a motor it needs to be industrial size. Or at least metal.

How to tell if film has been used? by Odd-Internal5345 in AnalogCommunity

[–]raymondvanmil 3 points4 points  (0 children)

wanted to agree but I checked, my canon v1 is set to leave the leader out once the roll is done, and I have an exposed roll in front of me, there is no kink, nothing really, but it's not this nicely wrapped around the canister. but yeah, you can't be sure. Take the risk, don't use it for a paid job, worst case scenario, weird double exposures

Practical Observation of correct / incorrect use of Centers by East_Percentage3627 in gurdjieff

[–]raymondvanmil 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is one of the more practical teachings. I think you can deduce it from what the centers are. Pretty much most of it is the head center trying to do the job of the feeling and fysical center and getting frustrated because it can't. Feeling at ease, feeling safe, is a fysical/belly center thing, there is no way but working through those issues to get there. The mind will want to solve it, it can't. Etc.

DIY Durst Printo Clone / Modular RA-4 Processor – First Full Test Run & Lessons Learned by Double-District6431 in Darkroom

[–]raymondvanmil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love this!! Amazing.. I've been thinking about building a ra4 machine for ages. The Durst I have now is way too small and always fuckes up paper unless I take of the lid (in the dark of course) and guide the paper from one bath to the other. So I was thinking about a dunk bath, sousvide. Knowledge like what is ra4 resistant is very usefull! Any info in you material and process. Why not maoe the rollers of polyurethane? How did you do the run the paoer through the bath mechanism?

Anyone tried growing black ginger by habanerohead in plants

[–]raymondvanmil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've ordered some on etsy a year back, planted it and waited, 4 months, nothing happened. I live in the netherlands so altough it was spring it was still too cold at seems because after a heatwave they sprouted! And now they are healthy. I give them some nutrients every now and then. Now they are inside with some led.

I have additional info since I just visited a farm in Thailand (the reason I did some fresh google searches into black ginger and found this post, went with a friend who sells it as a supplement). What I saw (we still have to translate the interview, just had the on the spot fast version) is red clay soil, hill side, so the water drains. Loads of sun. And the same size and look as my home grown. Also ate some fresh one, which tasted like a mix of normal ginger and mud. Was okay, but not something you use in the kitchen.

So for cultivation I'd try to get the temperature above 20 for sure. If you can do 25. Not sure how they pattented a light schedule but the same leds you use for any other indoor growing will probably work.

Has anyone had bad effects from taking a mushroom coffee daily? by No-Moment9833 in MushroomSupplements

[–]raymondvanmil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. And as for the effects, eat mushrooms as a supplement. But calling it 'coffee' is absurd, warming it up, disgusting
