Also if you chop up some broccoli and toss it in olive oil with salt and pepper and put it in the air fryer for ten minutes or the oven at 400 for a bit longer you've got the best and easiest side dish for basically any dinner with almost no effort required.

Okay this is bit of a weird one. How safe is/isn't it to swallow finely blended platic? Basically I have a cheese sauce which ended up with a small piece of my cheese grater's handle blended into it, I've strained it for big chunks of plastic but there still seem to be some flecks floating around. I'm trying to weigh up if I should go with it or start again.

You can poo poo into a colander and sift through it to make sure you do, if you want. A friend of mine once swallowed a quarter from the bottom of a cup of beer, and the dial-a-nurse line at our university told him not to worry about it and verify that it passes in a day or two. The reference minimum size object for needing to go into the hospital was, coincidentally, a quarter.

I'm not so worried about it getting stuck, it's definitely way under the minimum size to cause any problems there. I was more worried that if it's too small can it get absorbed somewhere or shouldn't or something? I'm definitely over thinking this though, I'll probably just go with it.

I guess if it was particularly sharp bits you can abrade your guts in a bad way but if it was blended enough to not notice it, you're fine.

Extra row of tits posted:The idea of pre-prepared meals is very appealing to me (at least to start) I’m an ok cook assuming it’s meat and bog standard ‘tatoes. Look into indian food imo, you can make a big pot Saag or some other tasty curry and stick it in the fridge. There's tons of great traditional vegetarian recipes without having to pull any weird substitutions because hindu religious vegetarianism has been a thing for thousands of years.

Is there a Chrome extension that automatically allows the bare minimum required cookies whenever I visit a site? The websites make it so frustratingly tedious to only allow essential cookies, I'm getting fed up of doing it every time.

There are some adblocker filters that try to get most of them but it's hard to block 100% of those dumb cookie popups. Install Ublock Origin and enable the "EasyList Cookie" filter list. Of course, plenty of websites still just kind of ignore the cookie consent thing and start serving you nonessential cookies even if you don't click accept. If you're concerned about that you can use an extension like Cookie AutoDelete which will automatically clear the cookies from any non-whitelisted site about 5 seconds after you close the tab. This does mean you have to manually add sites like SA to its whitelist to stay logged in though. RPATDO_LAMD fucked around with this message at 08:09 on Sep 16, 2022 |

As someone who has made a few half-hearted attempts to eat less meat, here are two recipes that stuck for me: http://goonswithspoons.com/Vegetable_Curry Is really yummy. I've had people ask me to make it for them again. https://www.loveandlemons.com/easy-peanut-noodles/: we make this one with just regular spaghetti noodles. Tastes great even without the eggplant and we usually flavor the mushrooms with teriyaki (pre-cook them stir-fry style with teriyaki sauce). Don't skip out on the crushed peanuts and sesame seeds. We did that once, and regretted it - it benefits a lot from the extra crunch and texture. Feel free to substitute other texture sources. Shelled sunflower seeds are fine.

A recent derail in the Tweets thread (about closed/open-casket funerals) got me thinking about something that I've been curious about for a while. Does some perfume smell like straight-up formaldehyde to you? Four years ago my Dad passed away and it's the only time in recent memory I've been to a funeral. The service was nice, of course the whole thing sucked but the thing that stuck with me most was the scent of the funeral home, of the preparation, which I assume must be formaldehyde. It had a vinegary smell but a lot more pungent than simple vinegar. And it lingered with me; I felt like I was still smelling it days later. Really unsettling stuff. Since then, every once in a while someone will pass me drenched in some sort of perfume, and it brings back those unpleasant pungent memories because it smells exactly the same. Not even masked by anything pleasant like you'd expect a perfume to smell like, just straight-up formaldehyde. I've mentioned this to some friends and they think I'm crazy. So a part of me feels like it might be some weird phenomenon like how certain people find the taste of cilantro revolting. Is this possible? Am I crazy? Or does some perfume legitimately just smell offensively terrible?

How sure are you that that smell was the formaldehyde? Seems like a funeral home may have been using perfume to cover it and other smells up.

It's possible, but if so it was the worst perfume I've ever smelled. Absolutely nauseating, and like I said it seemed to stick in my sinuses for like a week afterwards. Of course maybe that's more about the trauma of burying a family member.

It seems surprisingly common for chinese chef's knives / caidao to be made with carbon steel instead of stainless. Not just cheap brands either. The big obvious downside is that they can rust if they aren't cared for properly, but what are the advantages of carbon steel in a kitchen knife? What benefits does it bring vs stainless that make it worth the extra maintenance?

RPATDO_LAMD posted:It seems surprisingly common for chinese chef's knives / caidao to be made with carbon steel instead of stainless. Not just cheap brands either. Stainless steel is harder to work with in manufacturing and hard to heat treat well. It’s possible to make a quality knife out of stainless steel, but it comes at a cost. That cost can be literal, or it can be reflected in properties like how well the knife holds an edge or how readily it chips or bends. Carbon steel also tends to be nicer to sharpen. That’s a subjective thing, but plenty of people will choose carbon steel for that reason. For a case study, look at Chan Chi Kee’s KF1303 (carbon) and KF1912 (stainless). They have side profiles that are almost identical, but the KF1912 is significantly thicker. This isn’t a fluke. CCK has determined that, with the materials they use, they need thicker stainless steel to get satisfactory strength. Some knife makers use a steel sandwich, with carbon steel in the center that is exposed at the cutting edge, protected by stainless on the flanks, yielding the benefits of both types of steel. This of course is the most expensive way to do things. Platystemon fucked around with this message at 10:01 on Sep 19, 2022 |

Some people smell certain scents very strongly while most people can hardly notice them. I’m one of those people, and all these particular scents are nasty as hell. It can be very confusing to smell something absolutely revolting that nobody else seems to notice. This might ofcourse not be what’s going on with you at all..

yea, curating your twitter feed takes a while to do, and is an ever-evolving thing. but once it's like 90% of the way there, twitter's pretty great. a good trick is to go to the few users who you really like, then following who they follow. you'll find some gems by doing this.
