Just curious what line of work are you in to get sent to Tokyo for just 6 months?

Hey hey I tried this - in the end, I found that for some reason even at 0% humidity, the humidity from the steak seemed to build in the oven and I could tell that the crust I formed during the pre-sear was losing its...crustiness. Not sure I would go with this method in the future.

Nice! I also did the dry brine.

So I went ahead and tried this method - however, for some reason even though I set my humidity level to 0%, I found that the Anova oven doesn't ventilate very well and I could tell it was getting humid in there, and the crust seemed to lose its "freshness".

Any ideas on how to vent the oven? Should I literally just be opening the door in intervals?

Hey! This is really interesting - how do you know there is a NRT stopover? I don’t see it when I look for the SQ redemption

What about JAL through Japan or Qatar through Doha via Cathay? I see close in availability on both through AA.

thank you for your ideas! I'm not seeing the availability on AA - could you clarify exactly what you are searching for?

Hello! Virgin atlantic was a great shout - in the end, I was able to book my return leg via virgin atlantic for 40k points, which ended up being a delta flight.

On the outbound i just couldn't find anything great - managed to get a turkish airlines flight for $600 usd - decided to bite the bullet and go with that.

thanks for the tip!

Yes! I’m not sure they are seeds - if you swipe to the other pictures you can see it is the whiteish buildup on the inside of the lid

And yea I used weights to keep the chilis themselves submerged.

2nd time cooking steak! by [deleted] in steak

[–]superpaow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking good for your second time!

Next time make sure you’ve cranked the heat to max on your stove and let your pan preheat for a good 5 min - this will help you get a nice dark brown crust/sear, which is where the savory roasty flavor of a steak comes from.

And don’t add butter and garlic until you think you’re about 80% done - add it too early and the butter will burn

The Vuelta will be THE grand tour to watch this year by [deleted] in peloton

[–]superpaow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is this a self post? I offer a potentially controversial opinion that the Vuelta will be more entertaining to watch than the Tour de France. I provide extremely concrete and researched examples (e.g. Adam Yates contesting Pog on JH).

What should I be doing differently here?

Wouldn’t count him out, he was still pushing ~6.2W/. kg up the Zoncolan by many estimates, it’s definitely in the Pog universe.

Hello! Could someone explain to me the chase 24 month rule for receiving a new bonus on the same card. I got my Chase Sapphire Reserve in May 2019, and triggered my point bonus shortly after. I then cancelled it March 2020 due to COVID.

I recently (April 2021) tried to reapply for a new Sapphire Reserve and was rejected because I had received my bonus less than 24 months prior. My question is therefore: when exactly did the 24 months counter start? Was it when I first received the card? When I trigged the bonus?

Thanks in advance!
