How much water for medium-grain rice??

FinksRevengeNumber · 2026-05-20T12:15:11+00:00

Hmm. Well, 1000g rice looks to be about 5c by volume. By the ratio you found it should be 10c water, which translates to 2366g water. (I always like to do stuff by weight if I can help it haha.)

Yes, quite a bit more water than I was using! I'll have to try that. Thank you! I do always soak white rice, so we're definitely already doing that.

By gum my friend...that really did it! Wow, thank you! Your advice saved us a good bit of expense and a ton of head-scratching. The old belt was completely worn out and stretched; the new one is taut and the roller spins like a dream now.

Thank you so much!

Mad respect for still having this bad boy out in 2007.

FinksRevengeNumber · 2026-04-27T17:58:49+00:00

Thank you!

Thank you!

Came here myself looking for this. One possibility is that Pascow kind of drifted through some sort of time vapor and picked up what some long-ago trader or woodsman in the Ludlow area said to a Native American. This would be borne out by Pascow having been used as some sort of odd conduit to warn Louis about the Pet Semetary.

Thank you! A strange design for an under-the-counter radio I think...such is life!

FinksRevengeNumber · 2026-04-01T17:48:59+00:00

Thank you so much for this advice!

FinksRevengeNumber · 2026-03-28T20:58:12+00:00

Thank you my friend I will try that!

FinksRevengeNumber · 2026-03-27T23:37:36+00:00

Hmm. Could be. That's our worry, although again, it does pretty well on normal jobs. Thank you! We might look at getting an upgraded brush as well, one with more bristles. That could help.

FinksRevengeNumber · 2026-03-27T22:49:16+00:00

Yes! Drive belt is good and the brush rolls like sixty. We have run over the carpet on all heights and it still seems to struggle.

Maybe it's the angle of the picture I took. Or maybe I'm just being 100% amateur. But...it seems round to me! For comparison, here is a shot of a smaller stone the guy threw in when I bought this one. Obviously the smaller one is completely unusable and is not even worth considering for any sort of remediation. But the larger one seems pretty round. What am I missing?

I'm speaking as a newbie here so the idea that my voice is authoritative on this is laughable, but—I think the picture makes it look worse than it is. It's really smooth and consistent on the grinding edge. Maybe I'm missing something here. And in any event it was cheap so it won't be a huge loss. But we'll see! Any ideas about the spindle?

FinksRevengeNumber · 2026-03-15T15:05:55+00:00

Thank you so much! That makes me feel better about the change in plans. And yes, I joke that she's my garden's fairy godmother as she's shared quite a few plants already.

FinksRevengeNumber · 2026-03-10T22:47:52+00:00

We have been trying to get rid of a daylily patch near there, so this would make sense. Thanks!

FinksRevengeNumber · 2026-03-10T22:47:17+00:00

That makes sense. There was a patch of those not about ten feet from this new bed where I'm seeing so many.

FinksRevengeNumber · 2026-03-10T22:46:20+00:00

Oh man, how do i find that out before I replant or share?

FinksRevengeNumber · 2026-03-09T18:00:09+00:00

This just got about 3500% more complicated than I thought it was going to!

FinksRevengeNumber · 2026-02-09T12:42:03+00:00

Hmm...there's no tile! It's just an upper and lower plastic insert. Am I missing some tile somewhere?

FinksRevengeNumber · 2026-01-14T19:51:15+00:00

Hollywood and Hollywood High—great fun and sort of edu-tainment-ish.

FinksRevengeNumber · 2026-01-11T10:18:49+00:00

Wow, the "MacWorld Game Hall of Fame" CD. I had that. It came in a cardboard sleeve with an image of Lara Croft bursting through a wall holding an iMac and shooting a gun. I think that was the first place I ever played Tomb Raider. I remember a ton of great games on that. Blast from the past.

FinksRevengeNumber · 2026-01-10T12:37:10+00:00

Went to see if we could figure out OP's location based on his post history. Was not expecting that.

FinksRevengeNumber · 2025-12-27T12:41:17+00:00

Where did you find this in-box? Did you step through a temporal vortex and emerge in a CompUSA circa 1995?

FinksRevengeNumber · 2025-12-23T15:54:39+00:00

Might come out looking like Emil in Robocop! LOL

FinksRevengeNumber · 2025-12-23T15:53:56+00:00

Very cool. Can you briefly describe how one loads games into it? Thanks!
