is illegal just to be a hacker for good

No it is not.

A white hat (or a white-hat hacker, a whitehat) is an ethical security hacker.[1][2] Under the owner’s consent, white-hat hackers deliberately hack software or system with the aim of identifying any vulnerabilities or security issues it has, helping to reinforce it from black hat hackers. [3]

as a casual dabbler, I just use whatever is easily available

Same, which is why I switched to dumbbells. Before that I had a press made of plywood, hours of it sitting in the whey was causing some funk. I even tried wrapping it in plastic first, while that helped it also created unnecessary waste. The dumbbells we already had, so it was no additional cost.

In the beginning I used to use the pot with the whey still in it. Now I would worry the cats (one specifically) would knock it over.

U.S. Gallon

have wondered about cost efficiency of it because of how little you get from so much milk.

When I am able to get paneer it is between $9.98 and $13.99 a pound. Milk is $3.99 a gallon currently.

Do you ever salt it, or is that just not common with paneer?

I do not, I have no idea if it common or not. But all of the recipes I have tried do not add any salt.

If you have ever bought paneer, you will find this is about half the price, and twice as good! I made this while I was cooking dinner.

Do I hear you right that you prefer your jury rigged press?

I do.

How come?

Less set up, less clean up, easier to use. I am going to make paneer Thursday. I will try and get some pictures for you while I am making it.

I started making my paneer 14 years ago. The only cheese making gear I had was cheesecloth. I pressed it between two plates. It was misshapen, uneven, and crumbly. But it tasted great, and it made great Indian food.

As time went on I got better at making the paneer, and picked up a cheese mold. Then I built a cheese press, then built a different version of the cheese press, then bought one, and a different one. Now it is dumbbells on top of my mold.

Depending on what cheese you are making you will need different tools. Some cheese are stupid easy (paneer is one that has never failed) others are quite complex.

I use this cheese supply shop for most of my supplies these days. They have recipes as well.

This is the mold I use for my paneer.

I thought about going with the 4lb version, but I think that is over kill.

The two dishes I make the most with it are shahi paneer (I almost always add a cup or three of frozen peas) and buffalo ranch paneer wraps.. The first dish I made with paneer though was saag paneer.

I have been wanting to try making quark. Will check out that recipe.

I only make paneer, Finnish juustoleipää, and the occasional mozzarella. All of which are very quick cheeses, and they require no climate control.

For my paneer I gave up on my fancy cheese press and put weights on top of the molds, I can fit two molds in a baking pan (to catch the whey) on my counter.

I know the most common climate control used in novice cheese making is a wine fridge.

It also looks to me like he was always planning to die inside, I don’t see any way to get the shell off again.

Once the armor was lowered onto the dozer, there was no way out. He knew it was a suicide mission.

Ole Marv was not reasonable.

This is great info, but ultimately i think i am going to take the cowards way out, buy a jackery battery and add solar panels for now. I really appreciate your help.

I went under the house today to look at what would be involved in replacement. The insulation covers the plumbing. So I took my pictures and went to the hardware store. They had a replacement. Got home, and after a bit of struggling I got the old anti siphon device out. Turns out it was not broken, just the piece that lifts was off kilter and stuck. Put everything back together, and then I remembered there is also a leak the comes through the hand wheel. But it is far less than the leak that was through the anti siphon device. Maybe next week I will replace the rest of the spigot.

When I was a kid my mother would always say, “well where do you want me to put it? A fucking skyhook?”

Then as an adult I bought a house with 3/4th of the basement finished. The back 1/4th had no ceiling, so the floor joists from upstairs were visible. I started to drive nails into the side of them the hang my extension cords. As time went on I added more and more lightweight things to hang. One day I took a picture and emailed it to my mom, subject: skyhooks. As with OP’s wife, my mom was unimpressed.

This is not something I plan to carry with me while hiking. There are a handful of parking areas close enough to the trail that I can drive to the closest.

But carrying a hand chain saw like that is not a bad idea. I do have a 9" or so hand pruning blade I carry that works on pruning and keeping the trail clear.

It is. They started as, I believe, a pipe cutting, and threading brand. Then when Stanley (another well known high quality brand) was sold off to a Chinese company for the name, ridgid bought their power tool line, and husky (Home Depot’s store brand) bought their hand tool line. Both are very high quality brands, sadly they are both only available through Home Depot.

This fell last night, but it was not in the trail.

I am using a Milwaukee 12" wood blade, cannot find the specific blade. I did not realize there were pruning blades. I will look into one of them.

In the last 3-4 months there have been 5 limbs large enough I could not drag off the trail.

Still working on maxing the holo league stuff for the new pet battles in No Man’s Sky. I think I have 4 more days of the Daily battle with Iteration Oceanus, but I also need ~30 holo battles as well.

I did not even think of it needing the two mounting points because of the pendulum.

It is not removable, it is all part of the “clock” assembly.

It is not heavy at all.

No such luck was i was not able to get the wire from one home too the other.

And as far as two screws is i am using mounting hooks as they only make a very small hole in drywall rather than two big holes for screws and drywall mounts.
