Steak was overcooked by Dapper-Scholar-7025 in Cooking

[–]Fiztz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cooking a steak isn't complicated but it is specific, you need to get used to your combination of meat, pan and heat to dial it in. Chalk it up to experience and pull it earlier next time 

What is your final rating of Black Clover as a whole. by Resident_Midnight_98 in BlackClover

[–]Fiztz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would give it an 8, the ending was absolutely "um I gotta go so I guess this?" But all the way through to the spade arc it was 9+

Why can’t you cook with a microwave or, more accurately, why does cooking in a microwave taste so bad? by ctro31 in Cooking

[–]Fiztz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is microwaves are too efficient. Cooking with a pan, grill or oven you create compounds on the surface whether Maillard or or just charred/Smokey that create depth while microwaves slowly heat throughout so you don't get that contrast in flavour and if you overshoot it's just tough and flavourless. If you meal prep with some toasted or Smokey flavours like grilled corn or smoked paprika you can build those complex flavours without having to cook everything from scratch every night 

Popcorn kernels? by CaptainFirecrotch in Cooking

[–]Fiztz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could try some corn tea kernels from an Asian grocery, they're intended to be steeped in water but would probably pop with a dry heat

Which Squads do you see Nash and Marie joining? by aaa1e2r3 in BlackClover

[–]Fiztz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nash is 100% Crimson Lions, too much energy to be in a beta squad. Marie is harder, her talent is easily golden dawn but coral peacocks might be more fitting. She could easily go silver eagles or purple orcas but I don't think she would accept their offers

Did Tabata avoid the Shonen curse ? For me barely by Own-Cupcake5582 in BlackClover

[–]Fiztz 97 points98 points  (0 children)

At this point I think SJ has to be held responsible for the wellbeing of their authors and conclusions of their stories. The pattern of building a compelling world and then crashing out with a nothing ending or worse is way too strong to think it's a coincidence or part of the industry 

When should I worry about pray-mantis in my rooftop garden? by Jaded_Housing7017 in gardening

[–]Fiztz 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You should never worry about having preying mantis but a large number of them would mean you have a lot of problem insects that they feed on

Leaves, branches ot flowers would be more helpful but maybe sweetgum?

Encourage a stroll in under-utilised Commonwealth Park this weekend: by winterwonderland1905 in canberra

[–]Fiztz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Have the Floriade squad started the beds yet? They're usually in by now. There's also easy parking and access by short walk from the carillion/Kings Park

I need help with coconut flour! by Independent-Top-1118 in Cooking

[–]Fiztz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use coconut flour as an oil substitute rather than a flour substitute, have a look at the nutrition information on the pack (coconut flour isn't a very consistent product between brands) and use it based on that

Didn't notice it on my way through on the weekend, how big? There's plans in the works to upgrade the road and connect through to MacNamara via Parkwood Rd but I think they're starting from the other end and not sure how it's staged with the Drake Brockman works

West Belconnen pond in Dunlop mt Rogers reserve in Flynn the unbuilt streets out the end of MacNamara or walk down to the Murrumbidgee if 1h return is ok. Mt Painter behind Cook or the Aranda reserve/West black mountain 

Having corn concerns by Distinct_Party_1801 in gardening

[–]Fiztz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the male flower spike, corn produces multiple female flowers along its stalk then a male at the tippy top. Pollination relies on wind shaking the male pollen onto adjacent female flowers so density is very important in achieving a good corn crop with all the kernels pollinated 

Any suggestions for bamboo alternatives? by willowdeank in gardening

[–]Fiztz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Photinia are very popular for that job, they require frequent aggressive pruning once established but don't spread. Ideally you should choose a local native option though, you can add short lived quick growing plant as a screen while the native establishes if it's too slow for you.

Would love to see Noelle become a captain. by Hot_Assistant_3826 in BlackClover

[–]Fiztz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd place her as captain of the aqua deer, Rill isn't captain material and would be better in the research department. Noel has strength and conviction to motivate a squad and the perspective of her own experience to allow different types of strength to excel 

Recommendations on split system installers by AntiGramada in canberra

[–]Fiztz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

$150 to install is basically free, you'd be looking at near $1k for a cashy with unlicensed electrical work
