It is super easy to poach eggs you nerds.

If you have ever eaten breakfast at any kind of institutionalized meal hall (college/military/the clink) you have for sure had powdered eggs.

They aren’t good but I have a weird nostalgia for them.

I've eaten many pounds of this stuff:



For a few weeks that, and canned beans were the only sources of protein I had available.

It's not a terrible substitute for typical American style cooked-to-death scrambled eggs and omelettes, taste and texture are surprisingly okish, drown in ketchup and hot sauce per usual.

Scraping Ova Easy off hot steam pipes is less pleasant.

Not a good replacement for properly cooked fresh eggs by any measure.

Lots of personal trauma from being subjected to a diet of ~1000 cal/day consisting of egg crystals, rice, bread, and cooking oil.

Excellent life hack for dropping 30lbs in a month though.

E: real life hack is to live in a country with adequate sanitation standards for chickens, so they don't have to wash the eggs, then enjoy fresh eggs for up to 2 months if stored in a cool (not necessarily refrigerated) dry place, and seep eating lovely powdered eggs.

Apparently they are also brittle.

Basically is there a thing where people are saying to use particularly drywall screws instead of woodscrews?

Yeah, they're cheap, brittle and not corrosion resistant at all, which is perfectly fine for drywall, because they'll pull out of drywall well before they snap.

They are not good for construction, doubly so outside, and tripply so in the modern day, now that proper zinc coated construction-rated wood screws with all the mechanical and chemical characteristics one would want for constructing things are available for a reasonable price at every hardware store.

Compounding all that, they're terrible for use with those steel brackets, the "bugle" shape of their head makes them tend to punch through the thin steel. If those are rated structural brackets the only approved fastener would be a small, strong, flat-headed and galvanized structural nail, colloquially known as a "Tico" obviously that's overkill for your lovely pallet tree fort (wherein the pallets provide nothing of value aside from YouTube clicks) but a corrosion resistant pan head screw, like those made by GRK are like $6/50 count, and won't rust away in a season.

There's no way that works, just about every remote takes 2 AA or AAA batteries in series, for a total of 3(ish) volts, 1 battery would be 1.5 volts and simply wouldn't do poo poo.

I appreciate her explanation of why an RCD or GFCI won't work to help prevent shocks from transformers, that's something I only know from working on ungrounded Delta distribution systems and isolating ground faults.

I've drunken that specific liquor like 3 times in my life and I don't remember anything about the taste except a strong feeling of "oh my god why did I drink this" each time. Now I'm kind of wondering what was so bad about it



Maybe that's how it gets you

Baijiu is insanely bad, I once drank foaming purell hand sanitizer because I was bored and it tasted very close to how Baijiu tastes. The spot where I discovered the various Baijius at had some decent cocktails that played to its strong points that weren't terrible though, kinda like how most Gins are awful on their own, but can be delicious in cocktails.

NGL, getting the squashed triangle shape just right, so it casts a perfectly pizza sized antishadow is pretty impressive.

E: the internet confirms, Chickpeas, Beans, and Lentils all expand between 2-3X their original size when cooked.

That's still the same magnitude of size.

That's my point, yes. Chickpeas change in volume when cooking is similar or equal to other legumes.
