What tests do they conduct? What is checked for? Seems like everyone feels that helmets go bad every 3 weeks unless you either buy a brand new one or pay to get it recertified. So in the case of the latter, what is actually being done to ensure that it's safe?
My starter has an acetone smell to it. It always has, or at least for the past 6 years since we moved to Ohio. I feed it at a 1:1:1 ratio and it usually doubles/peaks in about 18 hours. I typically feed it every 24 hours (I can't consistently be home every 18 hours) but no matter when I smell it (could be 5 hours later, 18 hours later, or 24 hours later) it still smells like acetone.
I bake intermittently, so often I'd pull it out of the fridge after being dormant for a month or two and feed it for 4 or 5 days before baking. I assumed the smell was because it never quite got to full peak in those 4 or 5 days, but I've now been feeding it for several weeks and the smell persists.
I've read that the acetone smell typically is from being underfed, but if it smells like this before it has peaked, is that really the case?
I coach a youth sports team that is kindergarteners through 2nd grade. Our program has teams ranging from Kindergarten through 8th grade (4 teams total). Our team (K-2) did very well this season and a decent part of that was one particular 1st grader. He's very athletic and arguably the best kid on our team. As such he also plays up for the 3rd/4th grade team. While that means that on occasion he has to choose which practice to go, I don't really mind that.
However, we have a tournament coming up and one of the rules of that tournament is that a child cannot play for multiple teams. If a child is found doing so, the entire PROGRAM will be disqualified.
Knowing that he plays for both teams, I reached out to his parents to explain the rules and ask which team he intended to play for. His parents intend to have him play for both. When I explained that he would be putting the entire program at risk and potentially disappointing the other 80 kids who have worked so hard to get here by not choosing, he went to our program director. The program director agreed with him that the risk of getting caught was low and to go ahead.
So now, I'm stuck in a really crappy position. I can't override my program director. I can't narc the kid out (that would just ensure that all the kids get screwed over), nor do I want to punish the kid for the actions of his parents (and more especially our director).
I feel like I just have to stay quiet and hope that he doesn't get caught. And even if he doesn't, all that's going to do is leave the parent and director saying "see, I told you it'd be fine". Meanwhile I'm having nightmares about having to tell all of these young kids and their parents 'Sorry, pack up and go home, the program decided that playing one kid for a few extra games was more important that all of you having a good time'
I don't know if I'm just ranting or legitimately looking for help, because I don't know if there's anything left for me to do.
We have a very narrow cabinet between our dishwasher and the wall that I want to put a drawer inside of. I've got ALMOST everything ready to go, but I can't figure out how to actually attach the slides to the inside of the cabinet. It's too tight to fit a drill inside of, nor can I get a hammer in.
Would something like construction adhesive alone be enough? Any other ideas?
I could really use some trouble shooting help. I've had this problem for the past year or so. I go to pour the beer and about the first half of the beer the stream seems turbulent. A previous Reddit user referred to it as 'cupping'. This turbulence results in almost pure foam. After about the first half (I pour half liters) it normalizes. But by then, half my glass is foam which then settles, but results in a fairly flat beer.
Here's some info:
I'm open to ideas, because at this point, I'm out of them.
