I grind my PB fresh in the bulk section and I have never put it in the fridge. I can't imagine how hard it would be to spread if it were cold.

TooMuchAbstraction posted:Costco changed their peanut butter (the peanut butter that's made entirely from peanuts, as opposed to Skippy). The new brand starts out OK, but it's noticeably harder to spread after a week or so in the fridge, and by halfway through the jar, it's more like a paste than a spread. I'm carving out chunks with a knife and then having to press it pretty hard to flatten it onto the bread. This is consistent across four jars so far.

Part of the reason it’s easier at the top of the jar is the oil rises as everything else settled over time. You’re not mixing enough at the start so you’ve got more oil in your first half a jar of use and basically no oil by the end leaving you with a hard crumbly mess.

With the old PB, I could mix thoroughly once when I opened the jar, and then it'd be stable so long as I kept it in the fridge. With the new stuff, that isn't the case. They're both pretty well separated when I buy them, I do the same amount of mixing, so what's different? regulargonzalez posted:For future jars, store it upside-down. I do this before I open them, since it makes the mixing easier, but it also makes opening the jar the first time a potentially messy process. I'd rather not go through that every time :\

The cheap stuff probably has some emulsifier in there, which makes it better at sticking together.

My dad would dump out the whole jar into a tupperware container, give it a good stir, and store it in the fridge that way. Maybe try that?

I believe even when chilled the oil will still migrate upward (well, the solids migrate downward I guess), just more slowly, so if you want a consistent product you need to stir every time whether it's refrigerated or not. Only if its refrigerated it will be harder to stir than if it isn't.

I'm still just struggling to figure out what's different about this jar that causes it to separate faster, or whatever else the difference might be.

But since the one you described as full of coconut oil only lists peanuts, and neither list salt, it's a fair bet that you're American and thus you can't trust basically anything.

not really sure where to ask this, so i'll resort to here. basically, i just configured 1password. i'm now noticing it allows you to incorporate 2fa for sites where that's a thing. wouldn't doing so defeat the point? isn't the whole point of 2fa to require you to need two, separate devices in order to log on? or am i misunderstanding how 1password does this?

regulargonzalez posted:Ok, as a math minor person can you help solve a riddle I thought of the other day? I've spent hours thinking about it and I think I know the answer but would like confirmation. Also available to answer for non-math minors! I took one semester of game theory so let's do a game theory proof: Under optimal play, for Player 1 to win they need to play into a game state where Player 2 has no non-losing moves (otherwise the optimal move would be to just pick that one, right?) If Player 1 bids anything from $0.01 to $3.99, Player 2 can bid 1 cent higher, which is a non-losing move. If P1 bids $4.00, P2 can force a draw by bidding $5.00. Drawing is a non-losing move. If P1 bids $4.01-$5.00, P2 can pass. Then either P1 bids higher and starts this over again, or P1 passes again, and then P2 can win. Winning is a non-losing move. So, given optimal play, it's impossible for Player 1 to win -- Player 2 has a non-losing move in every situation. So, the game can only end in a draw or a P2 win. But we can repeat that whole argument again with P1 and P2 swapped and we'll see that it's also impossible for Player 2 to win, because P1 also always has a non-losing move. So, the game can only end in a draw or a P1 win. Combine those two conclusions and we see that this game will always end in a draw.

dupersaurus posted:Kinda, but if someone’s in your vault you’ve probably already lost anyway Pretty much. Your 1Password vault is your second factor device. 2fa is most useful on site hacks and password reuse so having it stored within your vault still protects you against that. You can then put your 1Password login 2fa on something else so even if your 1Password password is compromised you should still be protected.

You can then put your 1Password login 2fa on something else so even if your 1Password password is compromised you should still be protected. that makes sense. but i guess the scenario i'm thinking of is this. let's say someone manages to remotely control computer, and they're able to open chrome get in the vault through the extension. they can then reveal the password associated with site a. but, if the 2fa for site a is not there, then they still can't get on the site. they would need access to my phone for that. obv, if the 2fa is attached to the site, they could. if that is correct, then adding a site's 2fa into the 1password vault would seem bad, no? do i have something wrong?

You’re not wrong, it’s just incredibly unlikely. The most likely scenario is some poorly coded site lost your credentials and you need a second way to verify. My 1Password vault is protected via biometric authentication as well so even if someone gained access to my computer or my phone they would still need Face ID or Touch ID to access the contents. Even if someone was silently watching, they would only have the 30-60 seconds to grab your username, password and 2fa and use it login before it then rotates out to a different value. It’s easier just to drop some malware on your PC to man-in-the-middle your credentials no matter where your 2fa is.

With the old PB, I could mix thoroughly once when I opened the jar, and then it'd be stable so long as I kept it in the fridge. Peanut butter manufacturers sometimes add hydrogenated heated oil to their peanut butters to stop them from separating (i.e. JIF). Natural nut oils separate over time.

Tiggum posted:Why would peanut butter need to refrigerated? It can get rancid like regular peanuts since its got a lot of fat in it. Obviously not if you've got the weird kraft style stuff, but if it's just a bunch of nuts ground together to make peanut butter then it's vulnerable to going bad eventually.

How much peanut butter do you folks buy at a time? It usually takes me about two weeks to eat a jar/container from the “grind in store” machine, and it’s never gone even slightly rancid during that time.

Same, i get pint sized amounts fresh from the grinder at the store so it's as unprocessed as can be, never put it in the fridge, never had a problem. Are you keeping PB around for a year or something?

The containers say "refrigerate after opening", so I did that and never really put any thought into it  actionjackson posted:Are memory settings for a sit-stand desk necessary, or is it not a big deal? They're a convenience, nothing more. It's nice to be able to just punch a button and have the desk adjust itself to your desired posture, but that takes, what, 15-30 seconds? You can afford to control it by hand for that much time.

At least on my desk, the inner leg has a pretty tight fit in the outer leg. You could maybe get away with a marker (if your desk's legs aren't black, like mine are), but I'd be worried about tape scraping loose and causing the leg to stick.

Supreme Court decided that you're allowed to put four-letter words on t-shirts, so that sort of shirt has been around for quite awhile. The cultural tolerance of that probably varies from place to place and in different contexts, but I certainly wouldn't be surprised if there were a lot more t-shirt sales with vulgarities on them since the Trump era.
