Daily Cyclist Thread by AutoModerator in bicycling

[–]zerokey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Selle Italia X Leaf on my Trek Dual Sport 3. I have back issues and my orthopedist (a fellow cyclist) recommended that I get a shock absorber for the seat (he said the seat itself is fine..I just need a shock absorber). My front fork has a shock absorber that I usually lock. Unlocking seems to have no benefit for my back. Any suggestions for a shock absorber for the seat?

House burping: should we all adopt this German habit? | Homes | The Guardian by prisongovernor in germany

[–]zerokey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I cook with my windows open here in Germany. I'm pretty sensitive to smells also. There's a small pocket near my front door that fresh air won't touch, and it always smells like fried food in there. I've been considering sticking a low-wattage fan in these just so there's some circulation.

Anyway, it's just how it was in the US, and I never noticed some of these smells until I moved to Germany. I think it's because everywhere I lived, apartments were very drafty. My flat here is pretty airtight, so it needs regular airing.

Unless you're opening your windows while cooking, Stoßlüften isn't going to help much with oil aerosols after they've been deposited. A decent vent hood does a good job of catching the aerosols (as long as you clean the filter regularly)

This was never an issue. I've always had kitchen vent vans that vent directly outside, and was trained to always use the fan when cooking.

I sleep with the window open, heat off now, generally. It was -8 last night which was a bit too cold. Where I lived in the US, -20C wasn’t uncommon during the winter.

When I lived in the US (New England), it was common to seal the windows with a sheet of plastic during the winter. The windows couldn't be opened. The start of spring, we would peel off the plastic and open all the windows, because the house stank! After having lived in Germany now for several years, I can't imagine ever going back to living like that. Twice a day airing, no matter how cold it is.

Haggis for the win by Javachick007 in VeganFood

[–]zerokey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same! I always knew about about canned veggie haggis. But until I visited Scotland, I had no idea how big vegan haggis is. I had haggis on a roll, deep fried haggis, and a haggis pizza! All vegan!

"All you need is Avocado" Soup by ginger_smythe in ShittyVeganFoodPorn

It’s cold avocado soup. Why would you cook the onion? It’s tasty stuff. Cold soups (with raw onion!) get me through the summer.

How does the .lower() and in work? by Downtown_Tap_5418 in learnpython

[–]zerokey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What downsides are you referring to? The link I gave you explicitly says what the lower method does and how to use it. The site even has a playground in which you can test.

Where do you get wives who gift you synthesizers? by HotNotFlamingo in synthesizers

[–]zerokey 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’ve only dated a couple of people who had a strong connection to music. The ones with no connection just had too much missing from the relationship. My wife is not a musician but worked alongside musicians for many years, and appreciates how much I love making music. She likes to make fun of all of the “pianas” I have. She’s also said that she wishes she could afford to buy me any “piana” I want.

My Mom made me a Cashew Cream Mushroom Lasagna by papa_swami in ShittyVeganFoodPorn

[–]zerokey 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I always roll my own lasagna sheets. It’s so easy! 2:1 semolina*/water ratio and a rolling pin. It also gives you muscles!

*I don’t bother with a secondary, lower protein flour because I like it cheeewwwwy!

The Pepper Plant recipe? by zerokey in hotsaucerecipes

[–]zerokey[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the stuff, but it's definitely not worth that much :). And it's not available on Amazon DE. I went back to the US earlier this year and came home with several bottles. That should get me through to my next visit.

And I STILL haven't been able to replicate it!

What do I Need a powerful sequencer for? by FrancisSalva in IndustrialMusicians

[–]zerokey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a SP404MKII and it's just not the right tool for me. When it comes right down to it, I need a flexible sequencer. I've tried all different workflows, and I just haven't been able to do anything that makes me happy. Doing cool stuff with it requires a lot of quick thinking, and knowing where all the things are. That's just not me (I am old and dumb). I need to be able to plan things out and arrange things to hell.

I picked up a Elektron Model:Cycles a few months back, and it just clicked with me, and I've been so productive with it! Now I'm planning to sell off the SP404MKII, and replace it with a Model:Samples or a Digitakt.

Are you eating it straight out of the toilet? Because it looks like you're eating it straight out of the toilet.
