Personally, as with a lot of the comments, I’m in the food-prep and make it yourself crowd.
I found a book that dives into the details of when it is and isn’t worth making things from scratch.
It’s called Make the Bread, Buy the Butter.
Honestly, I haven’t read it yet. I bought it and let my mom borrow it immediately, but when I get it back I think it will an interesting read.
As someone who has watched less than an hour of anything on twitch, I guess I’m going to change my avoidance of the site from passive to active.
Fairly consistently: 3D printing, wood working, amateur radio, RC cars, and cooking.
Also playing with: sewing, tablet weaving, lifting weights, and guitar.
I was with you up until big thighs. …though I will say I don’t mind them, I wouldn’t call it a hobby.
Toats down with brewing, baking and 3d printing fo sho though.
As a subset of this, the fact that carburators worked as well as they did, until we had the technology to invent the simpler fuel injector, I think is pretty cool.
I expect he is a slow reader. He may not have gotten to that part of the book yet.
“previously owned”
Geoff?
I wonder if this is his response to having his events called boring. Is he just thinking “people won’t leave if I start playing groovy music”.
I don’t have any good ideas, but I have some bad ones.
Just looking through Amazon for replacement paddles for various bread machines. Many, but not all have a picture with some dimensions on it. If you can get some calipers or something to measure yours, perhaps you find something that way.
If you’ve friends with bread machines, ask them if you can try out their paddles to see if they fit.
Your idea of an electronics recycling center could be good too. I honestly haven’t been to one, so I don’t really know what you should expect there.
Good luck
I assume you, like me, did a search for the replacement part and found it “obsolete” and no longer sold anywhere online.
I am wondering if you could use a mixing paddle from a different machine. There is some variation between them, but at the end of the day, it’s not that complex of a part. Match the shaft size, shape, length, and make sure it fits in the machine.
Yes. This.
This video is absolutely worth the time it takes to watch it.
I’d like to suggest wallet chains and Discman portable cd players get added whoever is making this list.
Yep, exactly this. Wash the plates and silverware now before stuff gets dried on there… Except that casserole dish with the crispy baked on border of crust. That is soaking for a couple hours to save me a little effort. I’ll was every dish but two just because it’ll be easier later.
I’ve got a weird version of "net lazy"motivation. Anything I can do now to make a future task easier, I am strongly motivated to do. Anything that would be easier if I wait for [blank] I will ignore until the ideal moment that would make it the easiest.
It oftentimes leads to peculiar optimizations, but it has worked surprisingly well for me so far.
I have vitaligo. I’m just one person, but I wouldn’t care. Though, perhaps I’m not the best person to ask. Sometimes I forget about it until someone else makes an awkward comment. Personally, I think it’s kinda cool.
Maybe they’re hotdogs with a strong sense of justice.
Ferris Bueller’s Night Out
One of my favorite sketches. Thanks for reminding me of it. I’m going to go watch it now.
