Rice cooker wise, I've stuck a 30 quid Russell Hobbs one in my cart that looks like all I need. But lately I've been using a plastic microwave one that I spent about a fiver on and it's great. Less fuss, less mess, comes out lovely.

therattle posted:Imperial units are illogical. Metric forever! I don't have trouble with using an imperial unit. Like if you're 180 cm tall you could say you're 5.9 feet or 70 inches or 4.20 horsetails or whatever. Just don't tell me you're 5 feet 11 inches because now I have to make two mental conversions to metric instead of one. Same with recipes, using cups, ounces, spoons, table spoons, quarts, pints etc. all happily mixed together will lead into confusion and probably me putting a litre of vanilla into the cake instead of a millilitre.

therattle posted:Holy poo poo. I was sceptical that it could reduce carbs but that actually makes sense. My son is diabetic and coeliac so we eat a lot of rice. I will look into this. It's something that came up when my wife (who is coeliac) was pregnant with our baby and developed gestational diabetes. Cooking brown rice on the Gabba setting meant she could have decent portions of food. Also any rice left over can be given to birds or dogs. (Despite the old wives tale, rice does not expand in birds or dogs stomachs.)

Needs 1 rice to 1.5 water. when it gets to the boiling stage you need to keep lifting the lid for a bit or liquid will come out the steam hole and flow on to the surface, although it has a lip to stop it going into the internals.

Honestly so long as they are well made the simpler rice cookers mechanism is pretty much foolproof (as long as you put the right amount of water) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSTNhvDGbYI

OwlFancier posted:I definitely think The Curse Of The Home Secretary started to get to her with the whole "ban anonymity on the internet" thing. Home Secretary as a role suffers from the old "When all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail" problem. Even at the best of times the majority of the role is dealing with the results of the failures of just about every other department, but now we're deep into the selling-the-copper-out-of-the-walls stage of society. Awful behaviour on the internet, from racist abuse to grooming to the worst sin of all, being rude to people with newspaper columns, is a symptom of much much deeper problems that we need to fix in society but the only tool available to the Home Office is MORE COPS or at least MAKE LIFE MUCH EASIER FOR COPS, so forcing everyone to post with their full name, address, and a contact number for their manager on display is about the only solution a Home Secretary would have. Maybe it's time to swap out the Home Office as a Great Office with another one that actually has power to fix problems rather than punish their results, or at least move a lot of the departments that have budded off from it over the years back in - FCO and the Treasury still make sense as Great Offices because they have a singular role which they have complete control over, but the Home Office now only really does cops, courts, and (I'll stop there).

You can cook rice in an Instant Pot fwiw. We got a "Duo Evo Plus" and it's really good. It's probably going to be worse at cooking rice than a dedicated rice cooker but it does the job, plus lots of other things. Only thing that's a bit of a pain when cooking rice is that the pot is just stainless steel, not non-stick, so rice can stick to it a bit (but not like, horribly). Anyway. https://twitter.com/iammightor/status/1444355212672708609?s=20

I'm not sure Sajid Javid is very bright. Care staff are hard enough to recruit at the best of times, without threatening them with the sack if they don't get vaccinated. Or maybe - along with lorry drivers - this is actually Secret Marxist Boris Johnson's plan to drive up wages and re-nationalise the care sector. Fire so many staff that recruiting is impossible without massively raising wages - which no care provider can afford

Gradually reduce NHS funding to zero so it can't perform, then point to the failure and say "see, it needs to be privatised". While doing this, use the money saved from the funding reduction to gradually also increase payments to the private sector, which will take over more and more NHS tasks, while doing a completely inadequate job but obviusly generating lots of profit. When the time is ripe, full privatisation will have been nearly achieved already, at a massive cost to the taxpayer and the general public. e: watch literally everybody in the UK media swallow the "it's failing, obviously this is because it's publicly funded, therefore obviously it needs to be privatised in order to not fail" argument hook, line and sinker

there's no way most people could afford private health care in this country we know from other industries that costs for things like this don't scale so $2000 dollar ambulance costs just mean 80% of the population can't use ambulances anymore and just die note this isn't me saying they're not trying to do it, just that the bloodbath is going to be immense
