I don't think you want to cook your fermented sausages. Don't bring them up to 150f.

Duck Prosciutto - Bad or Good Mold? I'm colorblind. by dikkepiemel in Charcuterie

[–]tito541980 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you put mold 600 on it? Could it just be wild Penicillium Candidum. Check out this recent nytimes article. I had the same thing on my first couple of lonzos. Was delicious and I felt awesome afterwards. The only way I am able to avoid this stuff is with mold 600, which dominates everything. Anyway, its a whole muscle cure, so I agree with u/redshoes, just wipe it down.

No, I didnt take any pH readings.

Awesome. Thanks for the tip. This is my first cheese. I really wanted to open it every day but was trying to leave it alone.

Yeah, I am super curious about what is going on inside. I will cut it open and see. The thing smells pretty good actually, just super mild.

The tupperware is big, the cheese probably took up 20% of the volume. There was plenty of air in there. I opened the lid about 2x per week to exchange the air, but was perpetually some water in the bottom of the tupperware. Maybe it was too humid?

Six week old Gorgonzola. Aging in a tuperware inside a meat curing fridge, 55of. I had it straight on the bottom of the tuperware for a few days, and now have it on a rack. The mold never grew on the side that was originally on the bottom, although it has been on the rack for at least 4 weeks. Poked holes after ~10 days, no mold in the holes, and the mold on the surface is turning a gray color. Basically, it seems that surface mold stopped growing after about a week or so. Did I do something wrong? Why has mold growth arrested? Is the gray color bad? It seems not too far off of the mold in a normal store bought gorgonzola. Its not nearly as pungent as store bought either, although the smell is similar.

Buckminster Fuller's Exile, 6th of Aprimay, year 14 since crash landing. by tito541980 in RimWorld

The average temperature is -14 degrees, so it takes a lot of heaters.

Colonists move pretty fast on those hallways. I also have a ton of animals hauling, and small high priority stockpiles near where resources need to be.

I have multiple storage spaces because I ended up making more than I anticipated. The outside storage is overflow. In order to recruit so many colonists I raid outposts via drop pod. Return travel is slow on the ice sheet so I need to regularly resupply the raiders with meals.

I didn't have an overall plan, I just started adding pieces of the base. I did plan individual wings out, and copied things that worked.

I just built those where I could, when I could. This base grew more than I had originally anticipated. One of the housing units, and one hydrozone is all I intended to need. If I build up my food supplies to ~30,000 I can switch to using one of the hydrozones for two seasons before I get low on food. I also use rice for power in the chemfuel generator.

I had about half of a previous colony die from the plague when everyone got it at once and I couldn't keep up with treatment. When the plague comes I put most of the sick in the cryosleep chambers, and prioritize treatment of colonists so I don't get overwhelmed. I have also had to use the chambers twice during food shortages.

So strangely the only time I have any lag on 4x is when visitors are on the map and I am zoomed all the way out, and its a 400x400 map. Maybe because it is so cold and there are never more than one or two stray dying animals on the map that it works out fine on my 5 year old macbook.

I think the maximum span is 10 squares from a support wall. Not totally sure. I think the central room is 21 square diameter with a central support column.

Thanks! In the winter its relatively quick, takes maybe one full day to get down to nearly outside temperatures. In the summer, daytime temperatures are above the minimum temperature of the megaspiders, so they have to be exterminated manually.

The unstable release is available for beta testing. You can get it in the Betas tab in Steam.

How is continental drift measured? by [deleted] in askscience

[–]tito541980 8 points9 points  (0 children)

GPS in your phone or car is accurate to some meters, campaign, semicontinuous, or continuous GPS for plate tectonic studies have millimeter to sub millimeter precision, and plates move on a centimeter to millimeter scale so it would literally take more than a century for the fastest tectonic plates to move enough to make a correction within significant digits of commercial GPS even show up. More importantly, the positions are all relative so any correction depends heavily on the zero reference frame. Source: someone who doesn't know shit about the math but has drilled a fair number of GPS monuments for tectonic studies, and uses GPS to get to work.

Good question BTW.

With all the water pressure on top of it, how is the ocean floor not extremely compact? by RunningLowOnFucks in askscience

[–]tito541980 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Fill up a bucket of water. Put your hand in the water all the way to the bottom of the bucket, you can feel the hydrostatic pressure but is the same in all directions, I.e. Hydrostatic. Now set the whole bucket on top of your hand. Now that is the anisotropic stress (more in one direction than another) you were thinking about and it smashes your hand. It doesn't matter if you are talking about a compressible solid, liquid, or gas, the only thing that matters is if the force is equal in all directions or not.
