The issue for a long time was that there is no markdown standard, so everyone had their own version of it.

CommonMark is gaining ground, so hopefully markdown will be the same everywhere soon

Ethan Chlebowski did a video on rice in https://youtu.be/IjjdAheuNKs where he cooks rice sous vide to determine water ratios and cook times. There are more details in the companion blog post at https://www.cookwell.com/...

For brown rice in an on/off rice cooker, try doing 1:1 + 0.5 cups of water for evaporation.

TL;DR/W: When cooking different types of rice sous vide, they all absorb water in a 1:1 ratio. The only difference is how long it took to cook through (white long grain is less than brown or wild, for example).

So, the deciding factor is how much the cooking method evaporates water in that time. Sous vide can't evaporate water, so it's still 1:1 but other methods need more water. Rice cookers are pretty consistent, so it's easier to calculate the additional water for evaporation. For white rice, it's about 0.25 cups for evaporation while brown rice needs about 0.5 cups for evaporation because it cooks longer.

There are more details in the video/blog post about other methods, like boiling rice similar to pasta

Some of us aren't exactly desirable and I refuse to marry someone for purely financial reasons, I want to, you know, actually love the person I marry...

So it came as no surprise when a new study by CIA Landlord recently revealed that Tinder users who specify that they own a property in their profile receive 57% more matches than those who don’t.

Saw a recent video from America's Test Kitchen where they recommend temping baked potatoes and docking the skins: https://piped.video/watch?v=iG7wEqs9j4E

In the comments, someone said they had potatoes explode after baking, letting them cool for a bit, then re-baking.

Personally, I don't usually bake enough potatoes to justify turning on the oven, so I microwave them; which is notorious for for getting food everywhere without adequate supervision.

Oh, y'all still have wait staff?

We have "digital kitchens" now: https://stories.whataburger.com/...

Same wait without the staff, tables . . . or blackjack

Nah, they'd still be extinct: https://en.wikipedia.org/...

After being opened up to the railroads, the town of Plattsburgh, New York, is estimated to have shipped 1.8 million pigeons to larger cities in 1851 alone at a price of 31 to 56 cents a dozen. By the late 19th century, the trade of passenger pigeons had become commercialized

Even if adjusted for inflation, 31 cents a dozen doesn't sound like a lot, but then market saturation happened and your prediction came to pass:

The price of a barrel full of pigeons dropped to below fifty cents, due to overstocked markets. Passenger pigeons were instead kept alive so their meat would be fresh when the birds were killed, and sold once their market value had increased again. Thousands of birds were kept in large pens, though the bad conditions led many to die from lack of food and water, and by fretting (gnawing) themselves; many rotted away before they could be sold.

The way parents can stop this is by asking the school whether they had a license from Disney to show the movie.

The permission slips are just proof they showed the movie to a large group of people (most likely without a license, because what school has a budget for that?)

Yes, it's intentional. It represents the difficulty in keeping one's balance. For reference, check squat toilets:

Japan doesn't have paper towels or air dryers in their bathrooms.

Why?

Because everyone carries a handkerchief to dry their hands. They even sell them at airports when you land.

I've been trying to bring back the handkerchief in the States, but not as many places sell them

There are too many people that think rinsing hands with water is enough, or that using a urinal doesn't need hand rinsing much less washing.

Even post-COVID, habits are too hard to break

It depends on your budget and location but Seiko makes clocks that meet your requirements:

That's Three Stooges-level of classic comedy, bravo!

Ethan mentions it in the video with the stove top method since it varies based on the saucepan, but if you have a method that consistently makes rice the way you like it, then stick with that.

Zojirushi is designed for households that have rice for each meal, 3x a day. Even then, Pailin's Kitchen noted in https://youtu.be/j9tvO5XNGkU that replacement parts are expensive, so a more entry-level rice cooker can be more worth it. Washing rice in a separate bowl might help reduce wear and drying the gasket might help it last longer, but I digress.

IMO, an Instant Pot is more versatile since it's designed as an all-in-one appliance. However, I have an oven, stove top, and enamel cast iron, so I'd rather make use of them. Rice is challenging in cast iron because of heat retention; it's actually easier to cook it in the oven.

For me, a rice cooker frees up the oven and is very set-it-and-forget-it, so it was an easy choice

If I didn't already have the above, I'd probably have a rice cooker and crock pot, for which I understand the Instant Pot is a good replacement
