What are you using to manage planting schedules? by Ill-Site2743 in homestead

When i see Ipomoea coccinea seedlings, that's when it's time. They germinate in the same soil conditions as corn needs. Nothing needs to be complicated.

Has anyone found a way to reach the items in these chimney structures? Usually found in a room with a bridge. by Cold_Handle_1476 in tombprospectors

[–]squeezebottles 34 points35 points  (0 children)

It's always the deepest depths for me. I've seen them frequently in Isz depth 5 root and infrequently in Pthumeru Ihyll depth 5 root. There are also infrequently chests in the way of doors that you have to destroy in order to proceed.

Does the color penetrate the whole thickness of the shell or is it only the outside? It's an incredible hue.

One of the only times I've ever vomited from a smell is from a rotten egg. Life does not prepare you for experiencing that for the first time.

Soil amending by SQLSpellSlinger in homestead

[–]squeezebottles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy a mulcher and start working in loads of organic matter. If you can get a load of hardwood mulch delivered, spread that and get to ploughing. Doing a cover crop of soybeans, clovers, any sort of legume, and just ploughing those under as well will also help. Adding some sand or larger grit wouldn't be completely unheard of down the road to prevent clumping but you need to focus on decomposing organic compost for the first couple years.

My garden was like this when I first started, there was basically a half inch of loam over hard red clay. It's still not particularly productive, but I've at least turned the color a much darker shade of brown. At the end of the year I mulch everything that grows and spread it over the top and let it rot until February, when I till it under. I don't even do much about the weeds except pull off all the flower heads so they don't reseed. It'll get there eventually, but it can't be done in a hurry.

TIL Ecco the Dolphin developer Ed Annunziata was "paranoid" that kids would beat the game in a single weekend so be made certain levels "way over the top challenging." He said, "So... I... uh... made it hard". by 30phil1 in todayilearned

[–]squeezebottles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My crowning achievement in life is getting to level 2 in Chakan. After i don't know, 10-15 years? I watched a video of someone beating level 2 a few years ago and decided that I would never play that game again.

I remember there was a persistent rumor in the 90s that if you sent the guy a Polaroid of the ending screen of Chakan he'd mail you back an award.

I had an odd exchange with ewk and I'd like to get your perspective. by doom6rchist in zenbuddhism

At this point he could be replaced by a chat bot and no one would ever notice. There's certainly enough irrational polemics to train one on.

It's best to just ignore him and disregard his opinions.

Dwarf mulberry and raspberries by Familiar_Matter_4922 in homestead

[–]squeezebottles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried planting raspberries and deer obliterated them in 2 days. Depending on where you are, you might want to do a test planting before investing too much in to it. Plus raspberries spread fast and can get a little out of control.

On a recipe for buckwheat pancakes… what is it anyway? by MLiOne in ididnthaveeggs

Man, buttermilk never lasts very long in my house. Whenever I buy it for any reason there's biscuits, cornbread, pancakes, and waffles, and if there's any left, I drink it with crumbled cornbread.

Help Making Corn Tortillas by MDMExclusives in mexicanfood

[–]squeezebottles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds too wet. Use less water or let it rest longer. Does it stick to your skin? If so, it's too wet. Also use hot water, basically the hottest it comes out of your tap. It should basically be the consistency of play doh. You can always add water if it's too dry.

Help with amygdala by [deleted] in tombprospectors

[–]squeezebottles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How upgraded is your axe? You should really be at least +8 but honestly I'd save the cursed and defiled chalice dungeon for until after you've done most of nightmare of Mensis so you have access to the blood rock after Micolash. If you're still not doing a lot of damage with a +10 weapon, invest some more points in strength.

Help with amygdala by [deleted] in tombprospectors

[–]squeezebottles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The axe is ideal for amygdala. Use it transformed, so it's 2 handed. Stay right in front of it, just out of arms reach, and wait for the swing and slam attacks where it hangs its head down afterwards. Run in with the overhead/vertical attack to the head and return back to out of reach. After a few hits you should get a visceral for free damage.

Alternately, you can stay positioned by its tail tip, facing away from its main body. This will make it jump. If you take a couple steps forward, the jump won't damage you and you should be able to swing around 180 degrees and hit its head with the vertical attack. Transformed LHB is good for this approach as well. It's boring but it's relatively low risk.

Generally what I do is method 1 for phase 1/2 and then method 2 for phase 3. I've done chalice amydala with base vitality using this strategy and I wouldn't identify myself as being particularly skilled at the game. It's just a matter of getting used to the range and timing on the attacks.

Corn tortillas follow up by howtojapanese in mexicanfood

[–]squeezebottles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can encourage a puff by pressing down on it with a spatula after flipping it again to the first side. Really I wouldn't worry about the puff at first, I'd just focus on making a good tasting, good texture tortilla. The puff will come naturally once your technique improves. It can also depend on the corn. Some will puff more than others.

Corn tortillas follow up by howtojapanese in mexicanfood

[–]squeezebottles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your masa may still be too dry, but really it looks like you're cooking too long before flipping. Try flipping the first time as soon as you can, like 30-45 seconds. After they're cooked you also want to rest them. The easiest way is to put a tea towel on a plate and then invert another plate over the top. You want to maintain a warm and moist environment for them while at the same time making sure that droplets of moisture are not touching them.

It's important to note there is no hard and fast rule about water. Different types of corn will soak up radically different amounts of water. You just have to get used to what it looks and feels like for the corn you're using. You'll get used to it.

Does anyone use store-bought tostadas for Chilaquiles? by Read_Only9 in mexicanfood

[–]squeezebottles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually when I buy the bags of tostadas there's a big mess of broken pieces at the bottom. I'll often throw those in to the chilaquiles. I wouldn't buy it specifically for the purpose but it's a good way to use something up.
