This is either a canning tip I don't see much, or compensating for some weirdness of my new pressure canner, since I don't think I had to do this with the old one:

(Gently) tighten your rings after taking jars out of the canner (if they're loose)

I was having a terrible seal rate when I started using this new Presto canner, much worse than when I had an All American, and on all different products. Idk what the difference could be, really, but I figured out the rings were getting rattled loose in processing, and so the lids weren't sealing. I get nearly 100% sealed now, and I found a small imperfection in the rim of the one jar that didn't seal out of this batch.

The logic of two-part canning lids is this: You put the rings on only juuust finger tight, so air can escape during processing. Hotter->expansion, and that's why you leave headspace. The ring keeps it from falling off completely, but also lets it move a little. Then when the food has been held at temp long enough to kill pathogens, you take your jars out and let them cool. As the air & liquid inside cool down, they contract, and that lid is pulled down, forming the seal. Ta-da, no pathogens inside, none can get in, and the lid won't fall off. And the rings can be removing for storage, having done their job.

So if the rings are too loose, as the cooling creates that pressure differential between the inside of the jar & the outside, air from the outside can get in under the lid to equalize, and you get no seal. Boo. Checking that the rings are still on correctly after processing (being careful meanwhile not to interfere with the lid) has saved me a lot of work & trouble already.

There's precedent for doing this, though current instructions say not to. Tattler reuseable lids call for putting them on extra-loose to start, and tightening after processing. This was also the procedure for the old glass lid & wire bail jars - lid on rubber gasket during processing, bail only laid over the top, then snap the bail down to seal afterwards. I think the key to doing this with modern two-part lids is being gentle, & not going any tighter than they should have been on in the first place.

one of the biggest things I can advocate for (in academia, but also just in life) is to build credibility with yourself. It’s easy to fall into the habit of thinking of yourself as someone who does things last minute or who struggles to start tasks. people will tell you that you just need to build different habits, but I know for me at least the idea of ‘habit’ is sort of abstract and dehumanizing. Credibility is more like ‘I’ve done this before, so I know I can do it, and more importantly I trust myself to do it’. you set an assignment goal for the day and you meet it, and then you feel stronger setting one the next day. You establish a relationship with yourself that’s built on confidence and trust. That in turn starts to erode the barrier of insecurity and perfectionism and makes it easier to start and finish tasks. reframing the narrative as a process of building credibility makes it easier to celebrate each step and recognize how strong your relationship with yourself can become

Did you know you can make sims look in a specific direction whilst they're posed?

Hit shift+tab to enter first person mode

Aim the camera where you want your sim to look (make sure your game isn't paused otherwise the sim won't move - you can press 1 in first person mode to set time running)

Hit pause (by pressing P)

Hit shift+tab again to exit first person mode

Voila! Your sim is now looking in the direction you pointed 'em!

A neat little cheat to get multiple uses from the same pose! 🤸‍♀️

Tried to tip a tumblr blog at 1am and it was such a suspicious transaction it immediately put a full fraud freeze on my account

Fortunately, banks no longer just ask 'did you make that transaction' they want to make sure you weren't scammed into making that transaction and 5mins after their call will give away all your money anyway.

This is an honest to goodness life saving movement and I cannot be happier banks are adopting it

Unfortunately, it meant I had to have the most embarrassing financial call of my life

-

Me: Ah yeah I was just trying to tip a tumblr blog

Cash: right and were you directed there by a Facebook link? An Instagram advert?

Me: no I was just on tumblr...on purpose

-

Caah: and this person asked you for money?

Me: oh no they just had a funny story, which happened to be about money and I thought, "wouldn't it be funny if I tipped them"

-

Me: * covering a reblog by reblog update on the adventures my mutual was having *

Cash: okay I don't think that can actually happen though..

Me: It might not have, but i was happy to tip them just because it was funny

-

Cash: and how well do you think you know this person?

Me: *considers explaining how much I know about a beloved mutual without ever knowing their name or face* ... I have no idea who this person is

I think in the end Cash decided there was no saving me from myself

#Chase unblocked my card #But I did not come off well #But this is a good thing!#Be fraud aware!#Tipping a blog should be like handing money to someone in the street #Only do it if you can afford it and WANT TO and do not care what it goes on #It COULD be a scam #You've got to be alright with that #YOU DO NOT KNOW THESE PEOPLE #THE VET BILL ASKS ARE A SCAM #scams

Apparently much-needed reminder that reposting artists' art (by saving the images or screenshotting them and reuploading them yourself) on other platforms without the artists' expressed permission and without credit is theft and an insult to their passion and craft. You are profiting (in views, in attention, in feedback) from someone else's work and ideas, who do not get that feedback for sharing their creation.

If you are an art reposter, you are a thief and I have no respect for you.

#learn basic internet etiquette i am begging but also holding a knife. yes i'm mad. more about others than myself.#do you know how many artists i have seen leave social media because their art started being reposted all over?#tip: way too fucking many #i've had many people tell me about people reposting my art on tiktok #no one ever asked to repost my art on tiktok. ever. they just save super fried bad crunchy jpegs of my art and repost them #they get 20k likes and don't even bother naming me #also a reason i started signing my name more legibly and why my blog web address is always there but apparently no one can even read that #a few people got an ok for translations on other platforms though #i'm going to be annoying with this post and reblog it a few times to try to catch the people who apparently need to be told #tiny skk adventures #nawy's comics #nawy's doodles #apparently those are reposters' favourites so here look at this

john price 🤝 cock and pussy rubbing

and if you add the forbidden love trope to it *chefs kiss* it’s so much hotter than actual s e x.

knowing he can’t fuck you, because he’s your captain/dads best friend/one of you are married etc. but things get heated after you’re left alone in some living area, somehow ending with you both locked in an intense, sloppy kiss, full of grabbing and moaning into each others mouths. it’s when he pulls you on top of him, that it changes, and instantly you feel his hard on bulging out his jeans, just where your pussy rests on his lap, sending electric shocks up your spine. but you half heartedly pull away, one of his hands still placed on the back of your head.

“w-we can’t.”

“shh, i know i know.” he mumbles, looking at you like a kicked puppy, sympathetically as his eyes switch from yours to your mouth. his hand that was placed your thigh, slips underneath your crotch, brushing past your hyper-sensitive pussy, making you move back slightly, finding the zip to his jeans, and slipping out his cock.

it flops back on his t-shirt that’s partially ridden up, looking down, he’s bigger than expected, a width that makes you gulp but makes your thighs automatically try to squeeze together.

“just let me feel you…please.”

#he can justify it bc he doesn’t actually fuck you #hehehehehe #captain john price #price x reader #soap is “just the tip” price is “let me rub my cock on your pussy”#price x female reader #mdni #lunch break writing lmaooo

Job interview tip I got from a tiktok but it's genius:

If you were unemployed for a while, they're going to ask if you can explain the gap in your resume. Unless you were actually doing something cool & relevant, this is hard to answer in a way that makes you sound like a good corporate cog. So here's the best and infallible answer -

No you cannot, because you signed an NDA.

You now sound mysterious, desirable, worldly, experienced. They can't even really ask you more about it! Perfect.

#obviously it is morally correct to lie on job applications/at interviews #level that playing field any way you can #employment #labor #job interview tips

I've seen a few times in Dp x DC fics when Danny is first introduced to the Justice League and meets Captain Marvel, that they both know the other is actually a kid and not an immortal being, but pretends to be old friends so as to not be outed and tricks the JL together.

Now I bring you, neither of them know the other is a kid and both Actually think the other is immortal but still somehow ends up pretending to be besties. How? Time travel.

This is their actual first meeting, but in the future, Danny will time travel back to the past and meet past Champions of Magic. Billy, as the current Champion of Magic, has inherited the knowledge of these meetings, but thinks they happened chronologically = Phantom is immortal. So he use that knowledge to bullshit his way into pretending he's been all those old Champions and greets Danny as an old friend to sell his Old as Shit act before the JL.

Danny in turn doesn't know about those past meetings but he Does know about time travel. So when Captain Marvel greets him like an old friend and start recounting their different meetings throughout history, Danny assumes he's gonna time travel and do all those things one day (accurately). But he's pretending to be immortal, not a time traveling teen, and so has to pretend that he Totally Remembers That One Time In Greece, Yup!

#dpxdc #dp x dc #dp x dc crossover #dp x dc prompt #danny will have to ask cw for more time travel assignments very quickly after this #so he has at least Some of the memories billy has and can hold up his part of the scheme without tipping anyone off that he's a child #and therefore should be in the yj

That omake of little Kabru not being able to show off his howetown sweets because of Misril gets to me a lot so...

Here's a happier Kabru (and Lairu)

#kabru #lairu #labru #laios #dungeon meshi #my art #my fanart #fanart #idk why i resort to fluffy fanart even tho i keep thinking and seeing gag/hornt lairu stuff #kabru is just so.. fascinating and actually endlessly tragic #i kinda like that ryoko kui doesnt try to over-explain or dramatize her characters that have tragic backstories. it makes her world that-#-much more believable and realistic. that being said i will devour more kabru stories from her #i kinda cant stop thinking abt kabru (and to an extent lairu)#ik in Lairu/Labru fanart Kabru is usually depicted as humorously in denial guy #but i see it everywhere and it made me think more of their more understanding phase in the epilogue #maybe laios is ooc here but i think he will also warm up to human connection now that he actually has people he cares abt around him #(and maybe because kabru is teaching him tips and trick to be a Normal Guy lmao)#im also not very good at humor so theres only so much i can do with gag lairu 😂

Red Robin and the Undead Earpiece.

Back again with another prompt! Although, I might start branching out to a couple of different fandoms in the future, idk.

Tim, when he was going on his Lazarus pit destruction crusade, accidentally drops his comm link in said pit. He was able to fish it out, and aside from the slight glowing, still works fine. Yay for durability!

Things are normal, and apparently Lazarus water encrypts his comm, who knew. But then he starts hearing teenagers voices over it, going on about ghosts, avoiding the government, and even their parents hunting them down.

Unfortunately, the Lazarus waters encryption work both ways, so Tim is having difficulty pinning down where the signal is coming from. At least he can give a few friendly tips to these young heroes.

Tl:dr, Tim drops his earpiece into Lazarus waters and can now hear everything team phantom is saying over the radio.

#dp x dc #dpxdc #dc x dp #dp x dc crossover #dp x dc prompt #dc x dp crossover #dc x dp prompt #dcxdp #dp x dc au #dp x dc writing prompt #dc x dp au #Tim Drake discovers ecto-technology #Can Tim hear dead people on his comm link now?#Like on a regular basis?#Can he now get ghost tips from victims???
