Thanks.

I did see MTB derailleurs suggested when researching. I suppose I would rather stick with road components, but for no real reason other than road bike, road components. I really don't think I want to go larger than a 34T anyway.

Just with a quick search, I can't see any of those two MTB derailleurs available to me. I do see the RD-M592 though. Any reason that wouldn't work, but the RD-M591 would? Specs on that page suggest it meets the needs, so is it a shift lever comparability?

Nice to hear that someone appreciated this non-image post in this subreddit.

There is some good discussion about the book in this preview post on eGullet

Whoops, should have posted an image. Seems like nothing else gets traction here.

Like I said in my original post, I don't feel like images submission are inherently worthless. So without a doubt there should be some moderator discretion in what gets removed. Just that it seems like lately even posts that were clearly against what is stated in the sidebar (memes, scenery, generic) were not being removed.

My issue has always been that not moderating such contents normalizes the behavior, and that is what prompted me to make this post. The issue seemed to to be slowly getting worse.

Thanks for your efforts! Moderation of large subreddits is probably a pretty thankless, but important, job.

My feelings about /r/GetMotived in general

(Random /r/popular driveby here - majority of posts I see from this sub are vapid bullshit)

srnull

That is a completely separate issue that would deserve its own thread. I don't like that either, but it seems like something that would be much harder to tackle compared to the mods enforcing what is already discouraged in the sidebar.

This is sort of tangential to the real issue here, but I was fed up with the amount of sales calls I was getting from RBC and one day the rep caught me in a bad mood. I flipped out a little about it and asked to be removed from whatever list I was on triggering these calls. To their credit (although, yeah, I'm sure they have to), they did so with the warning that it could take a few weeks to take effect. This was a handful of years ago now, and I haven't received any calls since. Lovely.

I don't doubt I would get some sales push if I ever visited them in branch, but I haven't had to do so for ages.

I expect better from you.

Am I missing something? It's some 17 minute old reddit account.

Current answers are not really complete.

Other videos are baking it 18 hours later after it has risen.

So without knowing what the "other videos" are, my guess is that it's a no-knead loaf. The difference is that no-knead uses much less yeast initially - 1/4tsp vs. 2tsp or so - so the initial bulk fermentation takes longer to complete. The longer bulk fermentation means you don't need to knead the bread to create enough gluten to hold the structure of the loaf. Otherwise, not kneading a 2.5 hours loaf wouldn't work out very well.

The other comment about the flavour is right - longer fermentation also results in a stronger taste.

okay then

The tomatoes are whole, and they don't really have "juice".

What makes you think that? Tomatoes, like many foods, contain tons of water.

srnull

Can you give some specific examples? It's really hard to talk about this broadly, and gets confusing even quicker when you use words like 'spoiled' with different context.

For the most part, the difference between something random in your fridge and something that has been properly fermented or aged is that in the later cases you're harbouring specific organisms and environmental conditions to transform the foodstuff, whereas in your fridge you've just let a bunch of random organisms go hog wild.

For raw foodstuff, it's just a matter of there being a huge difference between stake tartare and ground beef from a grocery market.

Was worried they would have you popping in for that 50 gallon bucket of lube that gets popular every so often.

top chef munchie snacks would be awesome, I bet

srnull

Does Amazon every run out on an item and ask you to pop by a shop for it?

srnull

Is there any rhyme or reason to the types of products for which Amazon stops sharing pricing data through the API?

srnull

True, but this is a losing battle in /r/cooking.

Crock pot is often used for convenience, as it is here. Leave this argument for when people are clearly misusing it, like throwing chicken breast into a crock pot for multiple hours. Yes, people do this for some reason.

srnull

Ah, didn't expect you to fix it or anything. Just if I were learning another language, I would want to be told when my phrasing was a little confused :)

"In my opinion, ..."

subtle wordlessness

about as subtle as a brick to the head

Edit: Before I get downvoted further, let me explain what I mean. There was nothing subtle about the "wordlessness" in the film. It was clearly used as a storytelling device.

srnull

Does the year subscription worth?

Assuming English isn't your first language. This would normally be worded "Is the year subscription worth it?".

srnull

it had a better screenplay than Manchester By The Sea

What makes you feel this way? I can imagine an argument for this being the case even if I disagree, so would be interested to see what you use to support the idea.

srnull

...what?

Hey - replying to a 2 day old thread in a slow subreddit so not sure if I'll get any response, but was browsing by top of the week and am wondering why this is so upvoted? Currently the #2 post of the week.

Is this a common definition of "low carb", and if so by what source?

It seems like a weird way to say "lower carbohydrates from what you're currently eating". I would take "low carb" to mean "low total carbohydrates".

Unsure why this random PSA is so heavily upvoted, so figure there must be a reason?
