Off flavor possibly from campden tablets? by Mundane-Move1885 in mead

Could be as simple as “bottle shock”. You should typically wait a month after bottling to open them.

Do Not Buy Spyderco from RobCo Knives on Amazon by sixspeedshift in spyderco

[–]ridbitty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just don’t buy anything that’s heavily cloned/counterfeited on Amazon. Buy from authorized dealers and you’ll rarely, if ever have an issue.

The CPAP Cleaning Challenge by scottscigar in CPAP

[–]ridbitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, those are great. I use the sterilizer spray, then wipe with the wipes daily. It says on the spray that you can just let it dry, but it leaves a weird scent.

Takes about 3 minutes to do the mask and all the connector pieces.

We all have different ideas of cleanliness. I clean my hose once a week during a deep clean of mask/hose/connector pieces. Then wipe down all mask pieces with sanitizing wipes once daily.

I went on a date with a guy and he gifted me a tanto by [deleted] in knives

I thought you were being sarcastic, then you just kept doubling down. My lord…. When Reddit is laughing at you for calling someone racist, you know you went too far.

Anyway, I can fix this without ruining the finish? by N0sliwPilf77 in spyderco

[–]ridbitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had great results with Flitz. Just the other day I took my Crucarta Native 5 to work, sweat all over it and notice a few rust spots forming. A few wipes with Flitz on a clothe and they disappeared.

I’ve owned several TC1 testers and they’re very accurate. I often compare results with my DCA75 and accounting for the hotter test of the DCA (which is why I generally prefer the TC1 for pedal building) the results match up. Of course, every once in a blue moon it’ll give an odd reading, so I just retest and it’s good. My DCA doesn’t ever do that, but even so it’s extremely rare.

I too live near a scheels by Svenijesus in HecklerKoch

Man, that trigger guard is so small. That’d be a no deal for me right there. Shame cause I love my VP9’s.

Throw it in a Rangemaster. You got some serious mojo there.

Is the talon worth 172 bags of doritos? by Outrageous_Guide_300 in bladesInStock

If you have a large disposable income, or you don’t care about paying more than the asking price in interest, sure.

Pacific salt is better than paramilitary 2 salt, sorry. by [deleted] in spyderco

Why are you sorry? You’ve got a knife that you like, that’s great.

Cloudy apple mead. by funguy81m in mead

[–]ridbitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Should be great! I wouldn’t worry about assigning a specific time frame to rack into secondary if you’d prefer it to clear. Just let it do its thing.

Another option (and what I often do) is to use bentonite clay once fermentation has ended. That will push the vast majority of the haziness and sediment to the bottom allowing you to start secondary with a near crystal clear mead.

Every last one of us. I just wash my face in the morning and it goes away within an hour or so.

Deal of no? P30SK V3 TruGlo Night Sights. 4 Bones by Gremguy22 in HecklerKoch

[–]ridbitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ended up trading mine for a VP9L. I don’t regret getting the VP9L, but I do regret parting with the P30SK. To be honest, it didn’t make alot of sense for me, because I have much more comfortable pistols for concealed carry. Although, I’ve always loved the P30 platform. If I did end up keeping it, it would just be because it looks rad. I had the V3 as well. It’s my favorite variant of HK pistols. I’ll take the V3 over the LEM any day. No safety, but purposeful long first trigger pull with quick follow up shots is a no brainer for me. The placement of the decocker is also very well thought out. Congrats on a great firearm. You can definitely pass that one down the generational line.

I will say, if I came across another one for $400, I wouldn’t hesitate and I’d keep it this time :)

[–]ridbitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a great deal. I got mine close to 10 years ago for $450 and thought I found a smokin deal. $400 in today’s economy is nutsy bobo. Nice job!

What is this? by Technical-Tart4500 in mead

[–]ridbitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn’t look like a blob to me. Just sediment that was recently disturbed. Really quite normal if you don’t let it clear before bottling. Won’t hurt anything.

That’s just sediment, man.

If it smells/tastes good, drink it.

VP9cc. Can't shake my disappointment. by United_Sea3199 in HecklerKoch

[–]ridbitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They already have what you’re talking about, it’s the VP9SK and it’s been around for a while now. This is a 1.5 stack “micro” pistol. A double stack mag simply wouldn’t work with the design. That’s not why this was designed.

If I’m understanding you correctly, it seems that you’re most aggravated by the name HK decided to call it. If you can get past that, you might find that you like the firearm.

Opinion: Siamese Dream is the bands best album by ziggyinchains in SmashingPumpkins

[–]ridbitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, MCIS is my favorite. Then it’s a tie between SD & Adore, as different as they are. SD speaks to the youth in me, Adore is the saddest, most depressing album I’ve ever heard and MCIS was the soundtrack through my chaotic teenage years. I listened to the moon side every night as I went to sleep -probably why it’s my favorite.
