Yeah, I never attempted things like lactic acid fermentation and the homemade sauerkraut, kimchi or pickles has been a mixed bag, to be honest.

Agreed, this year I dried a ton of apples, pears and plums, bumper crop. I call it "homesteading".

Just out of curiosity, how did you end up wasting so much food? Did it go bad or just not taste good.

Nice site, I made some quince jelly a few days ago so checked their recipe and process out of interest, looks like I did it right!

Hard to say what the actual tech is but it sounds like they use way more blades and rotate much slower than traditional fans.

I never understood why journalists loved Twitter so much, as it turns out they were writing for each other the whole time and the general public didn't really care.

Yeah, it's very context sensitive. My father in law learned Hungarian as his first language in a Hungarian neighborhood in Cleveland. When he went to Hungary decades later they told him he spoke like their great grandparents.

That's great, keep it up. Mine took German through high school and the oder one got a minor in German in college. The younger is still not that interested in German but they both have both citizenships, hopefully will take advantage la

I think part of it is that so many people around the world speak English so if English is your first language it's easier to get around.

This is great, hopefully OP can keep it up. I spoke only my native German to our first daughter and it went great but when the second one came around she wanted to have nothing to do with it. "Stop speaking Spanish!" was her reply

Scroll down in the comments in the article for a table of affordable cars. The shocker headline is based on cars costing more than I would ever consider, with my 200K+ household income.

Oh, wow. I remember when it came out. My multi-configs were epic. At that time I was actually an OS/2 programmer but we also had a DOS product so some time reluctantly spent in DOS.

Agree and in addition to enjoying meeting and working with people 1-1 I found that the single most effective thing I've done in my career is trying to help people solve their problems. This may appear counterintuitive in early career b

Good point. Not where I work (big corporation) but certainly in a lot of other companies. I think it's also the larger companies that are now forcing a return to office.

Obviously WFH works better for some individuals and it only works for certain job description. What's less clear is whether WFH productivity is relatively high because it leverages structures and relationships that were established pre

I wonder if this could theoretically happen for the main display in front of the steering wheel. Are there safety standards carmakers have to certify to when it comes to speedometer, etc.?

Yeah, those are nice, I had them on my road bike. On my current touring bike I use Schwalbe Marathon, also not bad. I don't know if they make Gatorskin in wider versions.

Ok, now I'm sad! I hope the one I bought recently is a bit better than the old ones you guys tried, we'll see. I've only used it a handful of times so far.

It's headed that way, I recently bought a "self inflating" air mattress for camping and I love it. Basically memory-foam, still has air pockets but no pump needed.

Good point. Hertz is weird because it automatically makes one think of frequency but it's really just "per-second". I just read up about Hertz - weird he lived not that long ago. What did they use for frequency before Hertz?
