I’ve been using this yogurt maker every week for a couple months now. Same L. Reuteri starter individual pouches. I sterilize the jars every time in boiling water. The milk comes from a freshly opened liter each time… But the last two batches have come out separated and gross smelling with tougher that strings like honey when you lift it with a spoon. Suggestions?
I’m always lurking on here, but I’m going to go ahead and post. I’m a 45 year old guy, married, no kids. I have friends, but most have children and frequent commitments and less interest in getting out. I’m into hiking, camping, bikepacking, peak bagging, road trips, finding old mines or ghost towns on maps and hunting them down in the real world, treasure hunting talking about all the shit science is still unsettled on like UFOs and consciousness. I like to build things with my hands, get creative, see the world as others don’t, and find ways to have as much fun as possible with this short life. Also down to just float in the pool, play board games, talk nerd talk, hang out around a fire or bullshit with fun people.
I’m game to talk most topics, love learning new things. Business, home rehabbing, creative ideas, total fucking nonsense… I’m into it. I haven’t had a group of friends where we laugh until we have to separate because we can’t breathe and our side are cramping in a long time. I don’t know if that’s even a thing at 45. But if it is, man I want that back.
I’m not into watching sports, but I’m game to play things like sand volleyball. I don’t hunt, but have a bow and am down for archery at one of the courses.
Honestly I miss the olden days of the group of friends that hang out together often and really know each other. I still have it on my old message threads with everyone that moved away, but not in person. I find it’s harder to meet people now because I’m always on guard trying to make sure I don’t say something offensive to the wrong person. I have a bit of that dark/offcolor humor from the Midwest but only use it among older friends now because I worry about letting it out now with new people.
I can talk politics or not ever bring it up, and I can hang with people who lean moderate from either side. It tough with extremists on either side. I’m more of a look at everything from all sides guy and am very saddened by all the divisions I see forming between people.
I’m not a big drinker, but can have a beer or glass of wine, or hit it hard if the situation calls for it. Generally I avoid bars now days unless I’m traveling or they are novel. I spent enough years partying that I’ve checked it off the list.
Men or women are cool, but if you’re a woman I would say let’s shoot for group hangs out of respect for my wife. I’m not gonna be like, “Yo! Heading out to meet a woman with similar interests I met online! Just the two of us!”
If any of this sounds like you, reach out!
My wife is studying for the TOEFL and couldn’t find a good resource for graded tests. I had chat make me an up to date, printable test. She took it, I took pictures and uploaded them, and then she answered the speaking parts right to it with voice chat on. It gave her scores, broke down each question and section as to what she got right, missed, and could improve on, and then gave her scores. I also had it make her a printable study guide specifically for the areas she needs to work on. Here is the prompt I used:
“Is it possible for you to write me a practice TOEFL language test that I can fill out and upload photos of and you could grade it and give me a score? I need it as a PDF file. I will then do the speaking part in audio chat.”
After the test I asked it “Can you provide a custom, printable study guide that I can use to improve my specific areas that need work? PDF format.”
For the listening section I just asked it to do it in audio chat and spoke the answers.
Hope this helps!!
They’ve been out for A FEW HOURS. The number of people I already see on subs asking to index cubes is nuts. Maybe play for the next few days before starting to trade for them. If you like the game I would assume you will be playing anyway. See what you find!
I’m a dude in his 40’s. Moderately fit but I’ve been slacking and I’m looking a tiny bit doughy. It said to start here and add weight/reps each week for the duration of the 3 months. Focus on clean eating and protein/macros etc. The goal is to work toward that Bruce Lee / early Brad Pitt functional body type rather than getting huge. Thanks for any input you guys may have!
