No idea. Hand rial is the next project. Either going to sand down finish to match, replace with something new, or paint. Undecided.

We've been dealing with the smell of citristrip this weekend lol, we can deal with the poly smells. Our house uses evap cooling which provides a ton of options for ducting air away from where the people are.

Wish that was an option, but whatever dingaling installed this stuff put all kinds of caulk on the bottom edge and then nailed it in...

Somebody committed a series crime against wood with this lol. Just trying to come up with something reasonable.

Why would you go with a stain+poly vs a finishing oil of some sort?

Where do you buy tech like cables, cases, battery packs, etc? That's one of the main things I end up using them for. I've been trying to cut down on Amazon buying as well.

The other thing I end up buying there is obscure hardware. In some cases they have stuff even McMaster Carr doesn't have.

I use Google news as an aggregator, with subscriptions to sources I particularly like. Through aggregation I can usually get a sense of if something is truly out of step with "mainstream media." trusted sources for me are The Economist, Financial Times, NPR, and to a lesser extent the Atlantic.

Regardless of source though, it's more important to read news articles critically, than it is to have a particular "trusted" source.

Toyota 2UZ-FE. Powerful, torquey, and near indestructible. Also, Toyota had the ah-hah moment to take an engine designed for pickups and heavy duty applications and cram it into the 4Runner.

I don't mind Pho, but I won't seek it out.

My favorite pho uses Udon rice noodles, lemongrass spicy broth, and beef brisket... But that's so far from traditional Pho I'm not really sure it counts anymore lol.

I wish he'd release Apollo with a lemmy backend. I know the dev for RedReader is working on it, though his priority is figuring out Reddits new terms for non-revenue accessibility apps at the moment.

Oh awesome! I actually have a couple of recipes that would fit there I can cross post as well. Need to actually write them down rather than just continue to throw random stuff together to make it work.

I haven't tried freezing them before. No idea how it would do. Sauces with dairy can be a bit of a crap shoot on whether or not they freeze. I think it would work as ping as you reheated in the oven, and no the microwave.

When I say "pulping" I basically mean crushing the fruity bits into a pulp. Mangoes have a large skinny pit in the middle? I usually cut off each side from the pit, then crush the fruit against the skin. This squeezes the juice out and crushes the fruit into a pulpy mash. I then do the same to the fruit surrounding the pit.

Your basically crushing the fruit by hand.

Alternatively, I've made this recipie with mango nectar or juice for the sauce. It's easier, but not quite as good.
