Level 60 completionism

Oh I'm probably going to get roasted for this. I really hate the "every zone is your level" mechanic in retail... but what about just one toggle?

There's a lot of great content and you have to pick and choose which areas you get to experience on your leveling journey... which is great! A different story every time. But maybe you're not an altoholic like me, or maybe your both an altoholic and a completionist.

What if, at level 60, you can switch back and forth between Azeroth as it is, and the exact same Azeroth but with all of the mobs and stuff adjusted for level 60? Not even updated rewards - well, maybe more coin for the time. Just a way to go back and do all the quests in the zones you didn't experience in this playthrough and have it feel like a challenge instead of just walking through all the low-level quests. Hit a portal in any capital city and bam, all the mobs are your level. Go back to the and portal any time to rejoin "regular" players and help lower level friends.

Experience the entire breadth of the world without being that one weird level 60 one-shotting everything in Red Ridge for completionism.

Specific generator recommendations

There's a lot online and filtering them all is difficult, then there's a matter of getting decibel information and pretending I know what it means.

I need a generator with a 50 amp, 4 prong connection. With all equipment running at once I'm pulling north of 40 amps, and so it's a juggle with my current 30 amp, 7500 watt generator.

I have ramps, or could install a winch/crane over my back door if needed, so weight isn't a huge problem. Propane and gasoline are both readily accessible here so either or both fuels.

And quiet. I can usually set up about 20' away, usually on the back side away from window, but I just want to be able to hear myself think.

Bonus points if it's a model you are/have used personally

Why didn't I use venom?

Coming back after a long away, and I play bad non-meta builds, usually doing a decent job maxing them out and just having fun with them.

My 93 assassin focuses on double-claw maximum single-target face-scratching damage. But... I didn't put a single point in venom, which on the surface is just more passive damage added to my attacks.

I think I avoided it on purpose, but I cannot recall why. Does anyone know why a melee assassin would avoid venom entirely? I vaguely think it was some issue with damage over time. This would have been like 3 years ago, so things could have changed.

The rest of the build: Max claw mastery, weapon block, death sentry, and dragon-claw. Uses 1 point dragon flight for mobility and cloak of shadows for weakening enemies (plus reapers toll on merc). The rest of the points are being dumped into burst of speed.

Officially listed number is a scam

The phone number listed at https://ohioroster.ohiosos.gov/board_view.aspx?ID=19894 for the UCRC is not correct (should be 866) and when I googled, it was the number google had pulled as the contact number.

Nobody there seems to care. Reported it weeks ago both online and when on the phone with a UCRC agent (once I figured out the issue) and it's still up. Maybe someone here sees it and can get it updated. The listed number for a government agency on a government site sends people to one of those scammy/phishing numbers.

Generator sound reduction

I have this plastic foldout table I've started using to block some of the noise from my generator. Relatively cheap - especially if you already have one or can buy used, easy, and surprisingly effective! I don't have a way to know for sure but it sounds about half as loud on the truck with the table in place.

Fair warning, the table will probably be warped from sunlight heat alone. The generator is also carefully placed to direct exhaust in the opposite direction and the table is far enough from to not get any direct hear.

What weather is worth canceling for?

So far we've only canceled for storms, which seems pretty reasonable.

But we have a heat wave moving in this week. We don't have AC, or even a hood. We have lots of openings and a good fan in the door. High 80s it was a sweat box. With temps hitting mid 90s and zero cloud cover, am I even going to be functional inside the aluminum sauna?

My equipment is a couple of countertop cooker/warmers and a panini press.

How about everyone else? Do you have a policy? Do you just wing it? Do I just suck it up?

Hotdog slicer

I have a dish we call "Walk the Dog", which is a take on a walking taco. It's by far the most time consuming thing we make because I'm manually slicing the dogs.

But... we have natural casing franks, I don't think a plastic banana slicer is going to do it well, probably just squish things a bunch before cutting.

So I need something sharp, one motion, easily cleanable so the health department doesn't get fussy, and something where the pieces don't go rolling away.

Internet stranger power go!

Any humans left at unemployment office?

Was on unemployment.

Had to do an assessment.

Website not working, couldn't submit assessment. After some hours was able to get tech support to look at it and they couldn't get it to work either.

Local JFS employee was able to input the information on their end. I have a screenshot from them confirming it in the unemployment system.

Unemployment later cancels my benefits saying the assessment was not complete.

I appeal, including the communication with the JFS employee and the screenshot of their system confirming it was done weeks before the deadline. Completion of this assessment was necessary for other services I've also received.

Appeal denied after weeks of waiting for review.

The benefits I've paid into for 23 years are being denied to my family and we are now facing eviction.

Attempting to call unemployment is a labyrinth. The phone tree ultimately says they are not open or are too busy and to try again tomorrow no matter when or how many times I've tried. Then it automatically hangs up on you.

I'm fairly convinced that there are no human beings working in that office.

To anyone I've ever dismissed when they've complained about this system in the past, I apologize.

Puree

I have a recipe I recipe I want to add involving pureed onion. Has to be able to pass health inspection, so NSF or similar equipment.

​

I do already dice onion, so I can start from those.

​

I'm limited on both space and money. I was considering a stainless steel mortar and pestle but never tried that with an onion.

​

Any suggestions/ ideas/ experience?

Bunn lid replacement

I have a Bunn Ultra-2 model slushy machine I got in trade. It doesn't have the lids.

The lids online are a bit pricey because they plug into the machine and light up. I don't need this display because they aren't really visible to the customer on my food truck.

I know it's a super-specific question, but does anyone know if there's a lid that works that doesn't have the electrical components? Adding these to my menu would really be a big boost, but we're just starting up and $300 for the pair isn't feasible yet.

Hotdog prep

This seems a strange question for a hotdog vendor to be asking, but how do you prepare a hotdog?

I have a quality all beef frank with natural casings as my primary product. I keep it hot in water until ordered, then grill it for two minutes in a panini press. This works great, they stay plump and hot and look great for hours.

I've just recently added a more typical all-meat hotdog as an option. I'm preparing in the same way. They look a little gray after a bit, and sort of... bloated? Very unappealing. The grilling hides this somewhat, and they seem to taste alright, but I'd like to hear from other pros with more experience with this product.

Trim canvas size to fit design

I'm probably going to get roasted for this, but I've been out of the design game for some time. Used to use photoshop heavily. I have a pretty basic design I worked up in Canva. Even paid for the pro. I am trying to export a PNG of this design. The problem is, the "canvas" is about 4x the size of the design part.

In Photoshop, you'd hit the trim button, and bam the entire canvas size matches your design size.

I can't find anything remotely similar here. Is it just not an option? Seems like a major miss, which is why I'm asking, but after an hour of searching online I'm just not finding it.

Minimum budget, maximum style

We didn't have any money for a nice fancy wrap, but a couple cans of tractor paint and a $15 banner will at least get us going in a truck that's probably older than half of you!

My many previous attempts have taught me to keep it simple. My bank balance has taught me to keep it creatively cheap.

Sticky stuff removal?

Recently bought an old food truck. Working on repainting the exterior. I'm pulling off this stick-on velcro stuff and the residue is pretty strong. I'm currently trying to scrape it off with a metal scraper, but it's so sticky that it isn't really working.

I'm not terribly worried about damaging the paint underneath, but I don't want to use some other chemical removal option if that ends up affecting the new paint.

Anyone have any actual experience with this stuff?

Container for chilidogs

I have a chilidog food truck.

I use the waxy paper boats most of the time, but if I want a closed container that won't disintegrate what would people recommend?

If it's a to-go kind of situation I'd like something where it's also going to keep the heat in decently.

I'm not a huge fan of Styrofoam, though that might just be from my grandmother ranting about the environment.

Tomato but with some meat?

I'm exploring canning some of my chili sauce for later use. It's fully and very well cooked for hours, I'm not canning it raw. It's mostly tomato sauce with some ground beef and other ingredients. I'm looking to get a PH meter just to be sure of the acidity of the entire chili once cooked.

Assuming it's high-acidity, is a regular water bath good enough? Or does the presence of meat, even if cooked and even if the chili is high-acidity, mandate the use of a pressure canner?

Any issue with stepping down to 30 amp plug?

I have a 14-50 (4 prong 50 amp) plug wired to a panel on a food truck.

I have a L14-30 receptacle (4 prong 30 amp) on my generator.

Assuming I'm not pulling more than 30A of 240V off the panel anyhow, is there any reason I can't swap out the 14-50 plug for a L14-30 plug on that same cord? It just means I have a 50A extension cord being underutilized and everything else should be fine, the breaker on the generator would trip if I tried to pull more than 30A on that L14-30 anyhow, right?

I think this is fine but I'm not an electrician.

My very limited understanding is that "normal" 120V is a single phase (one hot) and 240V is two phase (two hots), 2x 120V hots. Seems to track. 240V two phase outlet has 4 prongs (2 hots, neutral, ground) where the two hots lead back to a double-pole breaker at the panel that connects to both panel phases.

How does a 240V single phase play into this? I recently acquired a 240V single-phase appliance, that's 3 prongs, only one hot. I don't think I can get 240V out of a single 120V phase, and I don't think I can connect one wire to both phases at the panel.

Type of plug? It's connected to a sandwich press. The information on the press makes me think this is an ungrounded 2- phase plug?

u/Freer4 — 5 months ago

I have a food truck with a 14-50P and a generator with an L14-30R. There are adapters for these. My understanding is that this connection will be find, I just won't be able to draw more than than 30 A from the generator.

The gen itself is rated for more 7000W, but I'm trying to determine how much equipment I can hypothetically run with this wiring.

The outlets are all 120V (or 110V? either way I think the math is roughly the same) run off a panel on the truck fed from that connection. So I can draw 30A at 240V through the plug to the generator, which means 60A of 120V power is actually available for the appliances?

Is it safe to just say I have up to 7200W (based on 30A 240V from generator) I can use on the truck, or does splitting the load up into 120V outlets affect this somehow?

---

My novice electrical understanding makes me think that it actually depends entirely on how the outlets are connected to the panel. 240V has 2 hots, and if all the outlets were connected to one of those hots, I'd be capped at 3600W. Basically, I'll have to be aware of which outlets are attached to which hot from the generator and balance my appliance draw accordingly.
