I knew something was wrong when I bought a pack today. Compared to the one I have home, yet more evidence of shrinkflation.

At least it was the same price; other cases have been less amount and higher price.

Whynter Ice Cream Maker…how to use?

I bought a Whynter ice cream maker (Model: ICM-201SB) and I still cannot understand how to use it.

With my Cuisinart, I prefreeze the bucket the day before and 25 mins of churning later I have ice cream ready. The whole purpose of buying this machine is so I skip the 24hr prefreeze and able to make more than one batch per day.

Do I need to put the base in the fridge overnight? If so, it defeats the purpose of the cooling.

Do I need to prefreeze the container (using the function)? If so, how long?

For a recipe that calls for 25 minutes in a Cuisinart, how long does it take here? Even an hour into churning, it barely attains the consistency.

Sous vide picanha and seared with a torch

Rate my picanha.

6 hours at 132F, then torched to create a sear. I live in an apartment and it’s 2am; I didn’t want to set off the smoke alarms, and the torch required some degree of control.

I’d say it doesn’t look bad for my first try…

Programming to really burn calories

My current box does weightlifting or skill cycles but the METCONs at the end are fairly short. I know Apple Watch isn’t the most reliable method to estimate calories burned but on a good day, I burn over 500 calories. Most of the time I’m in the 200-300 range. I’m eager for programming that will help me burn more calories than what I’m doing.

Some folks at the gym do Street Parking and their programming is decently varied. What other programs should I try?

I will caveat with the fact that I’m looking for pure METCONs. I can do some skillwork on my own but for now I just wanna burn more.

Military out of state: check your voting status

I’ve been out of state since 2023 for military and voted in the 2024 elections with no problem. Yesterday my county sent me a notice to confirm that I am still a resident of the state and county.

Check with your county that your voting status is still up to date. While I support purging voter rolls and ensuring they’re up to date, it’s also odd that I was flagged as needing to confirm status when I’m registered as military at the state level.

A call to the county resolved the issue and the flag was removed but it’s worth checking again to ensure you’re still in.

Peace of mind I knew I needed and sorely missed

I had decided to try living with my then partner last year and made it official towards the end of the year, and shortly after trouble started. Suffice it to say I was not enjoying my place and would look for any excuse to step out. And then bliss: my (now, ex) partner announced they would move out and finally did so early this month.

My god…it’s so different. I forgot how it felt like. It feels relaxing. I LIKE my place again. I want to stay in. Everything is in its place.

This isn’t a “I will always live alone” story but rather a “I forgot how good it feels to live alone”.

Drove past this station on my way to the gym, it was at $3.89; upon returning, it had gone up 10¢! And this is the WalMart gas station which is the cheapest in the area. All others are $4+.
