Oldest house is 1702. Definitely not super-old, there were earlier structures, but this is the oldest one left standing.

Plain white basmati rice.

One cup rice. If it’s not washed, wash it.

2 1/4 cups water.

1 heaping teaspoon salt.

Put rice, salt, and water in pot.

Bring to boil. Stir a little to keep rice from sticking too much.

Soon as it boils, take off heat, put heat to low, then put pot back on heat and put a lid on it.

~ 20 minutes later, check. Should not be any water in the bottom of the pot. If no water, eat!

I’m gonna disagree. I followed the instruction set here on lemmy and the original on reddit using ubuntu server. It wouldn’t work. The directions are not for someone unfamiliar with linux files. There were gaps in the information that were written for people who understand the unsaid parts on how things are put together in linux, not for an “idiot like myself”.

I gave up after two days and multiple reinstalls after docker kept refusing to load. There was nothing automatic about it.

Despite the response, docker isn’t that simple… I gave up on it after a couple days.

Oh, totally this; but not just car stuff, it can be home stuff too. Just got slapped with a fat HVAC refrigerant refill. I had no idea this shit was so expensive. Over $2k for a recharge.

user replaceable battery?

I’m no apple fan, but some of these features don’t really mean much, like the screen refresh rate, data transfer rate, or codec support. Pretty small subset of users are going to care about these, the vast majority of people just browse, play simple games, and maybe run a map or spotify or whatever.

That said, the 16 is built to use Apple’s AI, and that’s pretty much reason enough for me to not want to go anywhere near it. I’ll buy an older model before I support this AI crap.

I didn’t say you can’t talk about pharmaceuticals or the flag.

Ban pharmaceutical advertising.

Ban the display of the US flag in public by private individuals including police except on national holidays and public/government buildings.

Leaded gasoline, Vietnam war winding down along with Disco.

I really don’t know where you’re getting your info. I grew up in CA and there’s no way SoCal gets more water of any kind unless it’s piped in. This precip map also proves that. The Sierras and Northern California get way more rain/snow than the San Gabriel or Bernardino mountains “scrape” out of the sky. The Sierras are a huge range compared to them, and when they do get snow, that water feeds into the lakes and rivers in the Valley. The precipitation map clearly shows SoCal can’t match any precipitation further up the state past Tehachapi.

What? Source that SoCal has more than the San Joaquin…unless you mean they’ve already pumped way too much water out of the valley. Hell, there’s water piped from the Valley to L.A., so if SoCal has that much water they shouldn’t need Valley water?

That’s kinda astonishing. I mean, I knew there were a lot of bots, but that many? That’s crazy. How did they filter for bots?

I get 5 weeks.

In the US.

Thanks to a union.

And I get paid the hours on top of regular pay at the end of the year if I don’t use the vacation. Nobody gives you a second thought if you use your vacation. Zero pressure not to fuck off for a week or more.

Go Union.

Yeah, be aware that these may block screens or other things like mobile phone holders on the back of the seat for the passenger behind you if you can’t find a way to keep the strap confined to your own headrest. I wouldn’t bring one of these only to find out you can’t use it.

They make neck pillows that are more supportive than those cheap inflatables and will hold your head upright. I’ve had one for a while now and they work pretty good. They support under the chin so it helps you aren’t “catching flies” too.

I’d recommend one of those, but they tend to be more expensive than the cheap pillows.

I wouldn’t have known had you not said this. Never saw this image before.

Yeah. But that also means the bad dreams are me suffering somewhere. That’s not so great.

On the plus side, I’m a superhero in at least one and have the power of flight!

Yeah, once or twice.

It’s really disturbing, and I generally dislike them because of the emotional leftovers.

The emotion is real, and the worst part is that it tends to stick around. Most dreams you just forget. But for some reason the one or two of these I’ve experienced it has left a longing and a desire to sort of go back to that dream, the person in it, the level of feeling I got, which of course is impossible. I have a family and love them all, so I don’t know why my brain threw this at me. It’s not like I’m lonely.

I wonder what the psychology and brain chemistry is with that. Why your brain makes up the person, the feelings, and why it sticks around when all the other dreams generally vanish.

Describe your powers for a potential future buyer.

Therpf.com forums if you are serious about making costumes and replica props.

Tomshardware forums are still pretty decent for tech help.

LS1tech.com if you are working on an LS engine. Everything you could possibly want to know.

There’s actually quite a few Internet forums out there that cater to crowds that may be a little averse to technology and adopting things like discord or using Reddit. Car repair, Automotive, DIY construction and home repair, surprisingly quite a few tech forums like XDA developers or Tom’s, machinists, prop-making, Making in general…. Sometimes they’re not very active unfortunately, but they do have a searchable wealth of knowledge.

This is true.

I dropped a Bratwurst when I was stacking them on the plate to bring inside off the grill.

Wasn’t going to wash it off, it was covered in dirt. It was the dog’s lucky day when I called her to come collect it.

Now, every single time she gets let out she has to check the brat-drop-spot and make sure another hasn’t materialized in her absence.
