“Naturally [revert] to” doesn’t really strike me as “good”. Naturally we have proven to be an extremely violent species. If we all followed what our body/brains said we wouldn’t be productive, kind, physically active (assuming we didn’t need to hunt) and would consume just fats and sugars. Most Americans already do a…

Naturalist theory says we are supposed to do something, but what research says it’s actually better for you? There’s been a ton of research done on the brain when sleeping, cognitive tests as well as stress related ones. I think we are doing better than fine by getting the normal 7-9 hours sleep, no mid night wakeup…

A good digital thermometer will work for all sorts of foods, projects and more. It can also keep you healthy. Not a fun hack, but for about $20 it’s gonna get a lot of love and your food will not be over or under due to unreliable breadcrumbs

I’m crashing with my in-laws right now. They politely hoarded (not tv worthy lol) 25+ years of stuff in their basement. Knowing how frugal the father in law is, if he followed this rule we’d have the basement to ourselves and not the junk! (Our room is in a small corner in the basement, the rest is just.... “stuff”)

If I have to use the oven, having a toaster oven keep the heat output down a ton. It usually cooks just as quick or faster since it doesn’t really need time to preheat

I know this isn’t a hack, but my presto deep fryer/multicooker is a life saver. The oil doesn’t pop up as bad as it would in a pan, it fries the entire food product at once. And, with a cheap temp controller it’s a wonderful sous vide. I could never go back to frying on a stove

Probably haha

As a mid 20s engaged guy who just moved into my soon-to-be in-laws’ house this April I have some insight. I think... lol

Things change dramatically when you fill a house that only had 2 daughters with a now adult daughter and her man (me), who has a very opposite personality from the 2 daughters. The parent’s are…

I’ve had powder stuck in the wash a couple times, must be my washer?

Spores don’t die at boiling temps, and can often be much worse than the bacteria they are created by. Also, every meat has bacteria and spores, so there’s no -might-, it’s an absolute.

I would emphasize one big point that people seem to be missing in the comment section. This is not just about bacteria. Spores will NOT die in boiling temperatures. It’s really just best to not use any marinade that’s been in contact with raw meats. If you bring your contaminated marinade to a boil, and don’t use it…

It needs to be boiled for several minutes. If any fat was added then it should boil about 10-15 minutes. Be more cautious serving that stuff to kids and elderly unless it’s been boiled for a long time, not just brought to boil. If you’re healthy and the meat wasn’t on the edge of expiration then just bringing to boil…

The biggest one missed is to wash your shoes! You shouldn’t do this with every shoe, leather being the first to come to mind, or with any fancy artwork that may fade or peel off. If you have a basic canvas shoe then throw them in the wash on warm (NOT hot). Use oxyclean and detergent and a small amount of OdoBan (I…

Anyone know how many watts the pi can handle? Most applications I might need it for require come sort of usable, but not excessive energy. The pictures I posted can handle about 2500 watts, for example

They cannot, which I realize is a helpful tool. They would be working on their own to maintain stasis, and no logging would take place, either

Fair point. Though I think for a temp controller and humidistat controller they would perform any needed fixing on their own, without my need to observe or record, but that doesn’t cover all applications

The last sentence is my nightmare. I have a hard time finishing some projects anyway, I don't need them going against me! Lol

It seems like the pi loses again. I know it had its purpose, but it seems like both financially and aesthetically it loses out in several projects where it’s simply replaced by something better. I would have bought it by now, but it hasn't been the best choice so far for my needs

Part 1-5 by some of the best in the world. You’re welcome

I don’t know how many people are loose enough to just jump into power cleans and not wreck their shit. Especially newbies to the leg game. If they haven’t done front squats it’s not a great recommendation. I’d rather stick with at knee or below pin pulls.
