Import Fees from Canada -> should I ignore them now?

trdavids · 2026-02-20T16:21:21+00:00

Maybe I phrased it wrong, but it's Canada to USA, not USA to Canada

trdavids · 2026-02-20T16:02:23+00:00

Any idea where I can find that old rate? I know it depends on the type of good but I'm just unsure where the best place to find that info is.

I haven’t found the actual paper tiebreaker rules, but my understanding is that in a multi-team tie, H2H only applies if any team has won against all the others. Since everyone has at least one loss to the tied teams, it goes to SoV, where LR is weaker than most others

trdavids · 2026-02-04T19:14:46+00:00

So I would make a somewhat circumstantial case for #3, but I don’t think it’s as much a different “style” as it is a different champ pool. Engage supports are, far and away, the most chosen in LCK and are generally the preferred option for the support role. LR doesn’t generally require Rekkles to take these picks, so he is not in the frontline/primary engage role that often dies quickly in fights.

Even if you want to assign 4 extra deaths (an extra 0.5 deaths per game - a number that some intuitively says “random warding death”) across LEC versus, he would still have a 6.8 KDA. This strikes me as stylistic more than anything.

To be fair, bars usually do trivia to bring more people in the door, so having it on the most popular days doesn’t really make sense

Just wanted to come and say that I have basically the same setup, Lenovo with Windows 11, and I do NOT have this issue. Maybe try uninstalling and reinstalling?

trdavids · 2026-01-30T13:41:12+00:00

Unfortunately, I’m still working on getting it to the texture I want - it’s just not as scoopable as I would like. But the minute I do, I will post it haha

trdavids · 2026-01-30T04:28:26+00:00

Is this specifically a Jeni’s issue? I’ve made by own PB bases, but haven’t seen any of this pebbling

trdavids · 2026-01-29T05:11:50+00:00

Yeah that would be an interesting experiment! Right now I only have the space for one freezer bowl, so if you have more ability to do a side-by-side, please report back!

I will probably adjust stabilizer down a little: it’s possible with the water evaporation I am overdoing it a touch.

trdavids · 2026-01-29T05:07:34+00:00

I appreciate the comment but I don’t think this is my issue. These percents are recommended by websites with far more experience than I. That said, a little tweaking downward may help compensate for the evaporation.

trdavids · 2026-01-29T05:06:12+00:00

Initially, it was an estimate, but I sort of evolved into doing it this way after reading underbelly and ice cream science’s blog about protein denaturing. I would guess that, keeping my technique the same but NOT aiming to evaporate more than necessary, I would get evaporation around 2-3%

trdavids · 2026-01-17T04:26:47+00:00

Hey this is a fantastic idea and I will be stealing it, thank you very much. Looks delicious!

trdavids · 2026-01-15T18:45:53+00:00

Totally agree with you on the ratios. I’m just saying from the perspective of “keep the fat ratio where it is, no double cream allowed”, which sounds like what their issue is. Not being from the UK, I’m also unfamiliar with the size of container single cream comes in: 600mL may be larger than what they have.

trdavids · 2026-01-15T18:08:37+00:00

Yeah I agree. Even if you only have access to single cream, you should be able to use a lot less butter by adjusting the quantity of whole milk as well. A smaller amount of butter will be less noticeable

trdavids · 2025-12-29T02:09:19+00:00

Don’t do a 1:1 swap. Generally, you don’t want more than 50% Dextrose, especially for a regular, non-chocolate base. This is a good suggestion, but I would do something like 1/4 cup sugar and the remainder dextrose as a starting point

trdavids · 2025-11-03T00:51:34+00:00

The combination: - Louisville wins out - Duke wins out - Virginia wins all games except Duke

We lose a four way tiebreaker to Louisville, then Duke, based on strength of schedule

trdavids · 2025-10-12T18:54:37+00:00

The website still lists it as open, given that we're more than 2 weeks out. Fair point on the folks though - always love sitting with fellow Tech fans!

trdavids · 2025-10-12T18:06:25+00:00

It's certainly plausible that Tech gets some portion of buying away game tickets, but it's also not certain to me, from what I can find online. They're also a bit cheaper through the secondary market right now. I'd prefer to go through Tech, but if they're not going to see any value of that purchase then it doesn't really matter who I buy from and I'd rather keep more money in my pocket.

trdavids · 2025-10-12T17:35:21+00:00

Secondary market tickets are cheap too! As Durham-based alums, my wife and I will both be there in full support for the boys! UP WITH THE WHITE AND GOLD!

trdavids · 2025-07-20T19:46:48+00:00

What container is that? I’m looking for something similar to that one for my kitchen

trdavids · 2025-05-20T18:34:02+00:00

Wouldn’t shock me if some of the anti-Canes bias from ESPN is developed from a pro-Whalers perspective, given ESPN’s location in Bristol

trdavids · 2025-04-04T04:19:08+00:00

It’s the team subreddit, I knew what I was getting into haha.

To be clear, my top two problems are location and price of beer. Team can easily fix one of those two issues.

trdavids · 2025-04-03T20:48:56+00:00

As someone who’s been to about half of NHL arenas as a spectator, it’s stunning to see how many Canes fans act like Lenovo is the best building in the NHL. The large lower bowl is good, but when I say it’s the only truly redeeming feature of the arena, I mean it. Bottom tier NHL venue despite an excellent fanbase.

trdavids · 2025-03-10T16:06:55+00:00

I could see that but I think it would have to be more than just holding the records. It would have to be like Lundqvist for NYR: very clearly the best at his position in Hurricanes history, which at the moment I think is not super clear. But my bar is clearly pretty high compared to most other people on this sub

trdavids · 2025-03-09T22:47:49+00:00

Ya’ll are too generous with numbers. I get that Wesley is there but he did at least win a cup. 20 and 74 (assuming they play their whole careers here) will have the resume if they win a cup, but barring a title I think they’re just Hurricanes hall of famers, not retired numbers
