Wine grapes aren’t typically as palatable as table grapes

Finished up installing our new Mailbox/post/house numbers and did some yard work.

Hiking can be nearly free especially on beginner trails that don’t require special equipment

Writing is something I hated in school but as I’ve gotten older it can be fun to kinda play god with peoples lives.

Cooking isn’t free but could actually save you money if you eat out a lot.

Well the appeal basically boils down to they’re fucking delicious; particularly when compared to other chicken parts seasoned in the same way.

Your focus on the meat of it all is probably your downfall. Fat brings the flavor and chicken skin is packed with it. Wings, far and away have the best skin to meat ratio of all the chicken parts.

How long does it take for them to grow back?

Wait; what?

In This House We Believe
Chicken thighs are always better than chicken breast.

…but at least you have some fat from the coconut milk to help lubricate things…

Wait; what?

I mean, maybe they’re a liiiittle fatty, but I’m not going to be eating boneless skinless chicken breast instead.

I don’t think I could ever bring myself buy a home with shared walls again(condo or townhouse). I’d have no problem renting but there is too much risk in owning something you don’t have full control of

Turns out they don’t build houses like this in the nicest spots

It’s Elm Cove, San Antonio, TX (Google Maps)

 
 

The biggest argument for the answer being “Yes” would seem to be their contributions to the Kessler Syndrome but I’m really not that up to speed on how severe or critical the situation currently is.

 
 

Maybe I’m oversensitive? We all know our votes here are public record, but to me it seems like weird, obsessive, and unhealthy behavior.

It definitely is a red flag for me to the point where I wonder if I shouldn’t just outright block people who go around making it known it’s something the participate in.

 

There would a lot of problems with the feasibility and enforceability of such a project, but putting that aside…

 

Backend Resources cannot be accessed at the moment. This incident was created by an automated monitoring service.

Figured I’d post this in case anyone else came by trying to figure out what the heck was going on…

 

So today was coffee station deep clean day including descaling my coffee maker.

After running the descaling solution through the coffee maker, I wanted to soak the shower head in the solution since it was pretty hard hit with scale and the brief contact with the solution while brewing wasn’t enough to clean it up.

So I dumped the hot descaling solution in a stainless steel bowl with the shower heat and left it to soak.

When I came back to check on it (30-60 minutes) everywhere the bowl was in contact with solution was purple. When I touched the purple tint it turned black (I really regret not having taken a photo at this point). It turned out the purple was just residue but the black underneath was (etched?) into the bowl.

I tried scrubbing with dish soap and water, which helped a bit but the bowl was still dulled and dark where it had been in contact with the solution. I then hit it was barkeepers friend which left me with what you see in the photo.

I guess my question is “what the heck happened?”. My best guess is that the bowl is not actually stainless steel and the solution ate off whatever was giving the bowl its shine? The shower head is also stainless steel and it was unaffected in this way. In fact the solution did successfully remove most of the scale build up on it.

Thoughts?

 

I just bought my first air compressor. The manual says to turn the regulator all the way down when you turn the compressor on and then to turn it up when you want to use the air but it doesn’t say how high. 

If I want to fill my tires to 35psi, do I just set the regulator to 35? Or do I set it higher so the tires fill faster?

Overnight figs (lemmy.world)
submitted 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) by ccunning@lemmy.world to c/gardening@lemmy.world
 

Just yesterday these figs were about half as big and green. Every time they ripen like this on my tree it blows me away.

Now we’re just in a race for them to finish ripening so we can harvest them before the squirrels do…

(also, if anyone has a guess on the variety I’d love to hear it. I even bought and planted the trees and still managed to lose track of the variety 🫣)
