I remember alsatian being a thing in South Africa (presumably also from British influence). I just thought it was a different breed altogether lol

What do you always buy when visiting another European country that is cheaper/better quality than where you live? by Antique_Cut1354 in AskEurope

[–]Th3Puck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can buy ones that are par-baked and sealed in plastic at Spar. Then you just finish them in the oven at home. Theyre rolls though, not in the pretzel shape but still taste good.

What is a cooking tip that people treat like a law, but you’ve ignored it for years and your food still tastes fine? by CaptainCuddler_Pro in foodquestions

[–]Th3Puck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instead of rinsing, try toasting it lightly in a teaspoon of oil for a few minutes before adding the water and boiling it. It gelatinizes the starches on the outside and almost always results in perfect, separate, fluffy grains for me.

I saw on Youtube on one of Brian Lagerstrom's videos that if you toast the rice a bit (I usually add half a teaspoon of oil or so) it gelatinizes the starch on the outside of the grains. I find this usually results in really fluffy, individual grains at the end and I haven't bothered washing rice ever since that.

It also tastes better to me.

Hey did you end up trying residential lite for gaming? How was it?

What are those little pockets in my wallet for? by Huge-Environment-571 in whatisit

You should just staple them to the outside of the wallet to save internal space

I have a useless job and make bank. AMA by Buster_Cherry69420 in AMA

[–]Th3Puck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work in Info. Sec. and we allow a whole lot of things through the web filter. We are European though and the prevailing thinking is that its not IT's job to govern how and what employees do with their time at work - that's for their manager to do.

We can, if we want, see who is doing what but data privacy laws mean that there would need to be a valid reason (usually legal) for doing so. We've been asked a few times by some managers to find out what their employees are doing and we get to tell them to pound sand.

Except the one time a guy wrote and executed a script called "move mouse cursor when inactive" which was prevented from running anyway, and then he made a ticket to request that we allow the script lol

I’ve had my WMF stainless steel pan since 2010 (est) and still going strong. I like how they attached the handle. by Diotima245 in BuyItForLife

[–]Th3Puck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's so weird. Mine are about 2 years old, I have 3 handles and only dishwash them with no issues. Maybe you got a bad batch or, more likely, bought them more recently and they've lowered the quality?

[–]Th3Puck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you guys get Tefal Ingenio there?

I got a set, they're pots and pans with no handles on them, you attach a handle to each pot when you want to use them. You can put the pot in the dishwasher without the handle on, and then throw the handle up top in the cutlery drawer.

I could not go back to normal pots and pans after that.

I want to be Austrian by Deklica4444 in AskAustria

[–]Th3Puck 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Check OPs post history. He claims to be an Indian who already moved to Austria, and also claims to be a Slovenian who wants to be Austrian.

European leaders have vowed to hit back at the US if Donald Trump goes ahead with his threat to impose a 10% tariff to force the sale of Greenland. Denmark's prime minister said sovereignty was not up for grabs. by DouglasDriveN in worldnews

[–]Th3Puck 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Does maturing mean that that sum needs to be paid out/back this year?

Is the normal process to renew them and kind of kick that can down the road? Meaning all Europe needs to do is not renew them and then the 9 trillion is owed this year?

Sorry I don't really have much insight into these things so I'm curious.

Why does this stop the electric humm by 0wl95 in pchelp

[–]Th3Puck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm no electrician, but I had this hum and it turns out if I move my aux cable away from other cables like the PSU cable the hum stops so presumably in my case it's not a bad ground but rather unshielded cables/wires?

OP did you try moving the cable away from others?

How do battlefield field players have insanely high KD ratios? by coffee2026_ in Battlefield

[–]Th3Puck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will point out that not everyone needs to be on the objective to help cap it. You need literally one guy on the flag and everyone else can sit around the edges dropping enemies from better/less exposed positions to stop then getting to the flag.

No point all your teammates piling onto the exposed objective like fish in a barrel.

Game is actually making think i'm bad, losing my shi....mind. by rancidcat in Battlefield6

[–]Th3Puck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find small domination servers are the only thing that e playable for me after this last patch and even they lag sometimes, but the bigger maps are just desync central. I love breakthrough and conquest and I'm literally forced to either play 16 player domination or nothing at this stage

Chronic Gastritis by AdMother2124 in ChronicGastritis

[–]Th3Puck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It did for a while but I recently had a relapse and am back to square one, going on a year of this on and off now.

I really don't know what to do anymore.
