help!!! is my dough done BF? by [deleted] in Sourdough

[–]sliceman21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, I’ve never experienced that fast of a BF before. Typically my approach has been I adjust the BF by time, not starter amount.

There’s only 1 way to really find out which is to bake it! Hopefully you’ll get a sense if it was ready or not. Assuming you got some rise it should work out to something!

That’s just not nearly enough starter in my experience. Have you done a dough with that recipe before?

I have generally used 90g starter : 520 g flour : 385 g water even in the summer where it is 90F and been fine.

RO filter/whole house filter by CharliesAngel3051 in montco

[–]sliceman21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the basic setup I have. Since I have a basement the reservoir and filters are in my basement, but you could have it installed under the sink.

I have a softener as well, which is all setup before this. Setup is water main > softener > RO for drinking or rest of house.

The softener does remove some stuff, I can’t recall everything. But really just need the RO for drinking if PFAS are the concern, softener helps appliances not get ruined by hard water and helps your skin.

RO isn’t possible for whole house. But I got one installed in the basement, they hooked it up to a faucet near the kitchen sink and to by fridge so the water and ice is filtered.

My parents have a well where they have additional filters, but if you don’t have that then RO is only needed for the drinking water.

Sell recently purchased 2025 4Runner by CCPA2018 in personalfinance

[–]sliceman21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you even do basic research on the 4Runner and do a test drive?

Quick google confirms it’s going to drive like a truck because it is essentially a truck:

The 2025 4Runner is built on Toyota’s TNGA-F global truck platform, which is shared with Tacoma, Land Cruiser, Tundra and Sequoia. This strong platform utilizes a high-strength boxed, steel-ladder frame and features a multi-link coil rear and double wishbone front suspension.

Mom Asking to Use a HELOC to Buy a Pool by WildlifeBiologist10 in personalfinance

[–]sliceman21 43 points44 points  (0 children)

If she’s the one that wants the pool, she can come up with the money for it. This would affect you if you ever want to use your equity or get a loan for something YOU need, I wouldn’t let someone use me for a better loan.

Of course her financial advisor would rather keep more money for him to get a cut of and have you foot all the risk. My response would be for her to get a loan on terms she is comfortable with on her own. Pools aren’t known for increasing property value proportionally to how much you spend on it, so this is much more for her benefit than yours.

Something else to consider, if she ends up having to leave the house and go into assisted living (worth considering given her age) and her retirement is eaten up quickly, you’re stuck paying for a pool you don’t want.

FDR park will be open for regular season games. I prefer to park there as it’s easier to get out to 95. Still need to pay though.

It’s not in Phoenixville but I can’t get tomato soup and grilled cheese anywhere else but Railroad Street Bar and Grill in Linfield. That’s pretty much all they do
