Join those who tried making them :) It’s surprisingly easy to get consistent good results.

Super helpful comment here thanks. I tried once and failed seemingly due to my impatience. I’ll try again with this in mind.

No tarif on these are there?

True I was technically in Limburg IIRC. But I’ve grew hearing the country being called equally « Pays-Bas » and « Hollande » so it stuck :-/

Still my comment about its magnificence stands.

Thanks :)

This is a bellyboat more precisely. Unlike in a boat my legs are in the water and I’m sporting fins like divers to direct myself.

It’s more nimble than bassboats and fishing kayaks but it has more drag and smaller motorisation so I’m a fair bit more limited when debits are high. And it’s mono place.

It’s immensely more affordable though.

Over the years I thrifted 2 of those so I can bring friends or even curious fishermen that want to try this mode of fishing :)

Our beloved neighbours, the Netherlands :) There ain’t pikes in Michigan are there?

This one is still under work but here you go;

• Chicken tights x2

Marinade :

• 2p soy sauce
• 2p mirim
• 1p saké
• 1/2p brown sugar
• 1/2p grated ginger
• 1/2p grated garlic

Throw the chicken tights cut bite-size in it > to the fridge for 1h or so.

After the marinade 1 drain the liquid out of the chicken so it's not soaked anymore and dip them in potato starch.

Then in the fryer at 165°c for ~3 mins in manageable batches Let them rest a bit Then back in the fryer at 180°c for less then 1min / till they get the right color.

The dipping sauce is super easy:

• 2p soy sauce
• 2p mirim
• 1p saké
• 1p rice vinegar

Boil the alchool off & dissolve the sugar by heating the mix for a while.

Once the chicken is ready I dip each batch at serving time in the sauce.

Just imagine the sharia mod of the Sims… heads be rolling…

Let’s hope we can flog them if they don’t obey as well then :) And cut a bunch of hands when catching something stealing some bread out of the bin. And beheadings all those dudes looking vaguely gay or too secular.

Maybe the next Sims won’t fuck anymore? Or the women won’t get to be as extravagant as in previous versions ?

Thanks man. I’m always a bit unsure when a post is a post too much myself. I would not want to spam. And on another hand it’s fun to share the fantastic adventures of being a dad with 2 left hands trying to do home improvement.

I went back yesterday and fixed the membrane here and here indeed... I filled quite okay from what I see. There's a rough patch in a crap place and a few unfortunate strokes some places but at some point it felt like more touching was just making it worse.

So the concrete alone was €1.351 including the truck to deliver it. The beauuuuuuuuuuutiful pump was €460 but honestly it was so helpful I consider it well spent. Then a couple € because I overestimated my volume by ~0.6m3 so I'll have to pay the recycling tax.

This one was a classic local one, hoegaarden white, which I had on the perfect draft :)

Yup cutting them tomorrow. I tried to get some PVC profiles that would both serve as joints and guides when reeling but no one around carried those.

The freshest beer all round. Not too sweet, not too strong... I’m still partial to Orval and Guinness though :)

Here they are :)

It was surprisingly not much of a problem.

The surface layer of the slab got hurt yesterday since after 2 months of extra dry climate we went into the monsoons without transition.

But so many prerequisites for effective AI implementations are relying on improving quality of inputs / training materials and that is an OPEX siphon.

Most cyberpunk read today.

How that shit is not illegal is beyond me. Gambling is already predatory but outside of sports and in fucking armed conflicts is abhorrent.

For me it’s a tale about loss of ownership in a dematerialised world. No one is going to cut a piece of my dining table because I own it and physically have it entirely at my side.

I’ll never own (my locally installed) Spotify nor the songs I listen to. Though for the later I have vinyl alternatives which no one is touching.
