  • I’m the same: I used it a ton when I first got it and now it’s collecting dust. Here are my personal issues with it:

    • I find it a little too big and bulky for 2D, retro, and lo fi games, but too low res and weak for a good experience on most larger/newer 3D games.
    • The controls and screen size/res are not adequate for most PC mkb oriented games.
    • The size, battery life, and low screen visibility in bright places make it not worth traveling with compared to my Switch.

    I guess I essentially just wanted a Switch that could use my Steam library for 2D indies and older games.

    Aside from that, I think I also kinda bought it to rejuvenate my interest in gaming, but it only did that for a few months. That has nothing to do with the Deck though.









  • Also Deuteronomy 15:

    7 If there is among you anyone in need, a member of your community in any of your towns within the land that the Lord your God is giving you, do not be hard-hearted or tight-fisted toward your needy neighbor.

    8 You should rather open your hand, willingly lending enough to meet the need, whatever it may be.

    9 Be careful that you do not entertain a mean thought, thinking, “The seventh year, the year of remission, is near,” and therefore view your needy neighbor with hostility and give nothing; your neighbor might cry to the Lord against you, and you would incur guilt.

    10 Give liberally and be ungrudging when you do so, for on this account the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in all that you undertake.

    11 Since there will never cease to be some in need on the earth, I therefore command you, “Open your hand to the poor and needy neighbor in your land.”








  • In my opinion, the THR is by far the highest quality modeling in this form factor. It’s not even in the same ballpark - every amp on it sounds amazing. It also works great as a stereo speaker.

    However, it’s probably the least feature full of the options. The on board effects are limited (but what’s there is excellent) and you can’t use custom IRs. The app is not great, either.

    Also, the headphone output sounds really bad. There are some discussions about it on the Yamaha board and it seems to be a controversial opinion, so you might not have a problem with it. For me, it’s unusable. But the amp sounds so good at low volume that it hasn’t really mattered. And by low volume, I mean you can watch TV at normal volume while playing guitar.


  • I’m sorry to doubt you, but it will certainly ferment with a 1:3 ratio of grape/acid vinegar to distilled water, even with lemon juice added. We usually do less than that (10-20%), but it’s not too much to work.

    I have seen plenty of those videos and that’s what made me wonder why it’s not a concern for these traditional recipes. All I can say is, the jars in that third recipe are very common to see in Turkey and no one burps them, nor do we have exploding turşu jars. I think the other poster is right that that type of screw lid may not be fully airtight. But I assure you, it’s not a concern for anyone making fermented turşu.

    This is why I was curious. It seems it’s a different technique which is relatively unknown outside the near east and west Asia. I have to assume slower fermentation (possibly due to the vinegar and hot solution, as you suggest) is a big part of it. Also, most recipes will only ferment for 2 to 6 weeks.


  • Le Parfait style. It has a replaceable rubber seal.

    I mean like the seal is not normally permeable, as evidenced by being watertight (for a period of time) even with some negative pressure inside the jar created by the cooling solution. However, once there is enough positive pressure from fermentation gasses inside the jar, it becomes permeable. In other words, it’s selectively permeable for positive pressure. I suppose that might be due to momentary one-way deformation of the rubber at a certain pressure which might be why you’re not supposed to reuse them for fermentation, and why it’s so important not to open the jar until it’s ready to be eaten. Basically, it might be acting as a very simple one-way airlock. But this is just a guess. And I am probably overthinking it.
