    Don’t ever, for any reason, do anything, to anyone, for any reason, ever, no matter what, no matter where, or who, or who you are with, or where you are going, or where you’ve been, ever, for any reason whatsoever.

    Sorry, I don’t have any experience in anything and I don’t know much about something. But I can type this: “GGKJDGgkjdsgakKGKJDGhkwGHJKKK”.

    Cool, huh? Alas, I lack experience, but I improve myself from time to time.

    I can even quit from vim!

    The stem on a wine glass has a purpose besides looking fancy. A wine drinker is meant to hold the glass by the stem so the temperature in their hand doesn’t affect the flavor profile in the wine. All wines have an ideal serving temperature also. It depends on the specific wine, but in general, reds are slightly below room temperature and whites are slightly above fridge temperature.

    Not to brag, but a quick calculation reveals that I have over 3000 hours of pooping experience, so yeah, I know some stuff about pooping 😎

    I know that I know nothing, that must count as something right?

      "If you know that you know nothing, then that means you know 1 thing; which would cancel out the fact that you know nothing, making you a fool.

      The key is to recognize that you only know that you’ve more to learn about the things you do not know, though you don’t know what those may be. Only then can you never be mistaken in these regards."

      I read that on a fortune cookie once.

    Wifi is just radio. So, having your access point or wifi enabled router surrounded by things is bad for your wifi experience.

    To a certain degree, you can do a “poor-mans” way of figuring out how good your wifi would be by just putting a speaker where the wifi should be coming from, then go someplace else in the building and ask yourself, “Can I hear the music still?”. You get an idea of how the wifi is moving about. (Keep in mind, it’s not perfect, but if you don’t want to use apps or specialized equipment and want to wing it… this will work in a pinch). Sound is better than light because wifi will penetrate walls/floors/etc, where light won’t, so you can listen against said surfaces and close doors, etc, to get a general idea of things.

      Yeah, sound is better than light for that kind of test - but also still not good; because there are many things that block sound but don’t block wifi, and visa versa. (eg. a well insulated double-glazed window is good vs sound, but doesn’t stop any wifi; and a metal mesh can block wifi while stopping very little sound.)

      I remember one time I spent ages trying to debug a wifi problem with my laptop. I was messing around with computer settings and router settings for ages trying to work out why my wifi had stopped working. But in the end, I found that it was entirely due to where I was sitting. I sitting in front of my desktop computer’s very large monitor, and the router directly behind the monitor on a shelf in the room next door. The monitor was blocking the wifi. If I move the laptop or the monitor, it worked fine.

        Yeah, that method isn’t intended for enterprise work. But someone who isn’t technical can use it to help figure out what’s going on. Not a single person I’ve ever helped with wifi issues wants to map out things with a wifi analyzer. But ask them to use music and people are far more interested. Even as a thought process since (most) people understand how sound works, if they start thinking of wifi as “noise” they can better understand it.

    In order to make sourkraut, you need cabbage, salt, a knife, a cutting board, a big bowl, a scale, and an appropriate storage container for fermentation.

    Start by rinsing the outside of the cabbage. Peel off any leaves that are damaged badly, cut out any smaller bad spots, then quarter each head, remove the core, and cut small strips. Weight the cabbage you have remaining, divide the weight by 50, and put that much salt together with the cabbage strips in the large bowl. Mix the salt and cabbage occasionally, and either punch it, or squeeze it. After 2 - 4 hours, there should be a good bit of liquid at the bottom of the bowl.

    Transfer the cabbage and the liquid to your fermentation vessel. Use weights or a plastic bag full of water to make sure the cabbage is below the salty water. Wait for 6-12 weeks, checking on it at least once per week.

    Lots of things can be used for fermenting, but the best is a stone crock with a lid that has a water seal around the outside, and a gas release valve on top. The cabbage can smell strongly during fermentation, so get approval from anyone you live with before attempting this recipe.
