First harvest. How’s it look?

The one thing I’m not entirely sure about is the bean sprouts. They all have these major roots on them. Not sure if that’s normal and I eat it. If it’s normal and I pick the roots off. Or if I did something wrong.

The broccoli sprouts look great. Grabbed a small handful and they have a really nice peppery taste to them. My first plan was the eat them raw but now I’m thinking they be great in stir fry or even ramen.

Is this mold or part of the process?

First time sprouting. This is my first batch and it’s broccoli sprouts.

I unfortunately fell asleep on the couch last night before my usual final rinse and woke up and they looked like this. Some of them were fuzzy.

After rinsing and shaking it seems to be gone. I just wanted to make sure this was still safe to eat or if I should dump it and start over.

I thought maybe they were roots but wasn’t sure.

Thanks.

Looking to start and have some basic questions.

Sorry if I missed a mega thread or something with this info.

I went to buy a starter kit and sprouts. Something I’ve been meaning to do but honestly the lack of greens in my life bc of this outbreak finally shoved me over.

My first question is jar vs tray? What’s the real difference?
Sub to that. Will using plastic trays essentially put plastic in your final product ? I was very surprised to see so many plastic grow trays for such a health forward movement but maybe because there’s no heat involved it’s fine?

Second question is where to get seeds? There’s this brand all over Amazon sprouting jim but honestly it’s not the mass production that bothers me it’s their use of AI in their ads that makes me not want to use them. If found some links browsing around but I don’t know who is good and affordable. Some of these places want an arm and a leg for these seeds.

What are some recommended seeds or blends to start?

I love broccoli and I miss it after this current admin approved some pretty nasty shit on broccoli so we stopped eating it. So I plan to get broccoli to try.

But I’m curious what is a good general salad mix. Spring mixes are ok but I love Boston and butter lettuce if there’s anything close to that I’m all ears.

And what are good sources of protein? I’m a recent cancer survivor and can’t/don’t eat a lot of meat for medical reason but also ethical. And my girlfriend is vegetarian. We use a lot of morning star and stuff but if there’s a way to get protein this way I’d love that.

Thanks all.

5070ti Laptop user here: What driver should I be using?

So i used to just download the latest, but lately when I have been doing that its been causing problems.

I downloaded 610.62 and my computers been a wreck, laggy, sluggish, in every way. It culminated tonight in my computer freezing on a game ive never had issues on and just shutting down. When I looked at the error log and started looking up the errors the suggestion was to rollback to a more stable graphics driver.

So im wondering, what is a good stable driver I wont run into these issues with? i dont care if its old. Im just tired of this BS.

Common games:
Darktide

Vermintide 2

Various MMOs

Enshrouded

Deeprock Galactic

Skyrim

Can BP spike while fasting? Got my BP taken while fasting for blood work.

Just wondering if this is a thing. My BP was like 142/96 at the doctors office but they took it right as I walked in and kept interviewing me while the cuff was working.

I went home and took it again and it was still high. I did three reads and the best one was 111/86 but the first two were higher.

I did a quick internet search but internet searches are inaccurate now I don’t trust them and wanted to check here.

Thanks everyone.

Looking for reco for decent inexpensive chainsaw

Just that. Had a lot of trees come down in the storm. This has happened enough over my life that I’m finally going to get one.

It also seems no one close to me has one so now I can be the guy who comes over with his chainsaw when they need help.

I don’t need anything crazy or massive and I can’t break the bank on it. Just want a decent run of the mill chain saw.

I tried internet searching but I don’t have much luck with that these days with all the AI slop. It’s just a bunch 80 page long BS articles all showing the same top choices on Amazon which are just the top choices bc someone paid to have them bumped to the top.

Thank you.

How can I keep pincer bugs out of my house DIY?

I can’t afford pest control. But starting around June going until it gets cold I get overrun with pincer bugs in my house. There is obviously some entrance way I can’t find.

So I’m wondering if there’s a safe deterrent I can’t find use inside or something I can sprinkle around my house that won’t hurt my dogs.

I can’t afford pest control so I need to do it myself.

But they’re getting really invasive and now sort of aggressive. We’re finding them crawling on us and they’re getting on the kitchen counter tips.

Thank you.

Looking for advice on how to better map F1-F5

Hi everyone, long time on again off again player.

I do pvp when I play this game, so twitch and response and all that is important.

I typically play things like mesmer and elementalist where I hit f keys one at a time every so often depending on whats going on so its never been an issue.

I recently went untammed, and holy poop I need to use those F keys.

I personally hate F keys as skills, and on my keyboard specifically the F keys are small so I need an alternative.

Im wondering what other people do for key mapping for this.

I do not have a crazy mouse with 100 buttons on it.

Wondering if people maybe use QER or something like that. Or if you can do things like set up a sequence so you can hit one button to cycle through them.

Just generally wondering what works for people to see what people have come up with.

Thanks!

Can’t find brick and mortar Allicin or L reuteri dsm. Won’t use Amazon or allimed.

Wondering what my options are for stabilized Allicin and L reuteri DSM 17938.

After some bad issues with Amazon ordered supplements I won’t get vitamins or supplements off Amazon.

I tried vitamin shoppe and similar places around me.

Can anyone give me a safe option to get stabilized Allicin that’s not allimed/allimax?

Same with the L reuteri. I will order directly from a trusted companies official site. Or go brick and mortar.

I won’t order off anything similar to Amazon or anything that isn’t legit. Like Allicin in American from allimed.

Any help is much appreciated.

Anyone had success with a vibration plate?

These things are all over the place now being touted for all these health benefits.

I was thinking of my own specific issues and the stuff I have difficulty with during therapy. And I was thinking this might help.

Was just wondering if anyone else has used these and if it helped them at all. Or the opposite. Did it make things worse.

Currently on a multiplayer server and someone placed a colony over my claimed chunks and im stuck/locked out of my chests

Wondering if theres a way around this if the person is non responsive. Im playing on a modpack that has FTB and minecolonies, logged out in my home and logged in to a colony over my claimed chunks and I cannot do a single thing. I cant open a chest, mine a block, open a door. Im stuck inside my house and it just seems wild that on a public server with these mods people can grief each other this way by placing a colony over other peoples stuff.

Whats really weird is, we are in a FTB party together, and Im still locked out but they are away or possibly done with the server because they arent coming back and im trying to figure out how to get my stuff back.

NJ (Central) No idea what things cost anymore need advice on some home work

I live in Central Jersey, the back end of my house only runs about 30 or so feat, maybe a few more.

Some squirrels tore some weak parts of the soffits down to get inside them after a little storm damage, this caused the gutter to come down a bit, when i got up there I realized the fascia and soffit were all rotted and needed to be replaced.

To tear down, replace, wrap and put a new gutter on a company quoted me 1455.

Its an established company so this comes with guarantees, insurance during the work etc...

Is that a decent price?

I was also considering getting the siding redone. Its a 1500 square foot home, whats a decent price to get siding replaced in central Jersey? I know the quality of the siding would make a difference. But if I just went with regular run of the mill siding. What would be a general price range id be looking at?

Not sure what to do. IMO just finished Xifaxin after a surgery.

So my story is a bit long. I’ll try my best to TLDR it. I had kidney cancer. Surgery to remove kidney and tumor. Six months later tons of issues couldn’t figure out. Doctors don’t listen. Typical stuff we all deal with.

Positive for IMO successfully eradicated a few times. But would often come back.

Finally found root cause. A bunch of problems from my surgery which is what I thought. Two massive internal hernias. A abdominal adhesions and a clip left inside my body.

Got it all surgically fixed but the fasting and clearing out before the surgery on top of the opiates made me not poop for 8 days and I felt the IMO coming back. Begged for Xifaxin no one would give it.

Finally a month later my primary does. But I was worried it was too late. I took it felt great and I’m one day off and I’m getting huge bloats. Tons of gas. Shortness of breath the works.

Here’s the rub. A second doctor accidentally called in Xifaxin and somehow it got approved and I got a second Rx of it sitting in my kitchen.

I took my last pill last night. With multiple shots of Xifaxin I don’t know if I should start taking the second rx so it’s back to back. Wait a bit then do it. Or not do it at all.

I finally had my root cause fixed. And I really want this gone.

Looking for advice ASAP before it rubber bands back too badly.

Thanks.

Getting repeated sign in attempts from all over my country on my iPhone.

Within twenty minutes I got two. One in San Diego Ava and another in FL. I live nowhere near either.

I’m checking here to see if this is a known bug or something bc I’ve been using tech since the 90s and I’ve never once had a password breach because I’m insanely paranoid about this stuff.

I go above and beyond the stuff you’re supposed to do. I just don’t see how anyone got my password.

One thing all the online guides say to do is click on your name in settings and look at the list of trusted devices. But that doesn’t seem to be there on my phone and I dont have any other Apple devices. So I don’t seem to have a way to verify if this is happening or get the data for the devices trying to log in.

Title says it all, was in a game we had a ton of AFKers and theres nothing that stops the enemy from just sitting in your spawn and killing you before you even fully spawn. How did they not think of this?

And to boot it seems to be hard coded to put your party members on the opposite team. Ive never once been on the same team as my son who I queu with.
