What are you working on?

[Waus]

I'm peripherally aware of what kind of jobs some people here have, but I'm always curious what other people are spending their time on. What are you doing for work or for fun?

I'd go first, but I think then it would seem like I was just making a thread to brag or talk about the things I want to talk about.

I'm not allowed to talk about it. Really!

But as for school, I haven't picked my research topic for this semester. Previously I've done independent study on modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) of irradiated produce, just a literature review to help inform the actual experiments that our thesis students do. I need to pick something for this class though. Thinking of something to do with plant proteins but I kind of want to branch out from what my focus has been in my actual job and learn something new and totally different.

Cool. I didn't even realize that was a thing. I'm going to look for that radiated food logo on packaging now.

Oh, you won't find it easily. Irradiation has yet to catch on in the US. It's very common in other countries and the quality of irradiated produce, especially tropical stuff that can't be grown here, is usually pretty high - but American consumers just won't accept it yet. It's a shame, because it's so promising and could prevent so much waste. The symbol is called the Radura, btw (I'm the captain of our school's college bowl team, my brain is filled with trivia)

For work I manage a storefront boutique/gallery. It's too stressful, Ive been having panic attacks and feel like im constantly fixing other peoples mistakes...so I'm trying to learn more things on my own while doing my current job well. Honestly I think I just want to be an artist and a designer of things that are helpful and that people need. I'm tired of selling things.

Anyway I would also like to be in a metal band.

currently I am lobbying to flood Death Valley.

why not flood Death Valley?

The Mojave River flows inland and is just miles away. Large hose and fill Death Valley.

Lower sea level +/-4 inches

Decrease temperature to surrounding area and add moister.

Anyway, thought it was a good idea and I would do it if I could.

[TurdBerglar]

and why we're at it we can blast the hawaiian islands into space...

[YoungRemy]

I'm working on updating my rez.









add moister.

For a moister cupcake I recommend the following:

The type of flour you use is key. I use liquid fat, and I add an extra egg YOLK to whatever eggs are called for in the recipe with nice results. But, flour gets old, can be the culprit of dry cupcakes. I use cake flour or add some almond or coconut flour to the AP flour. I bake small cupcakes and I bake on demand. Cupcakes even with the best guidance are not designed to sit for days uneaten.

[abbott]

surely you can talk better shit than my spelling

Did you know the water level in death valley is less than 10 feet, just in case you need water you can dig.

[abbott]

oh yea and my idea only needs a big hose to work.

Not sure how you get an island in space.
