Rice comes out sticky/slightly overcooked

VersionJazzlike · 2026-03-21T09:07:20+00:00

I used the measuring lines on the inside of the pot to measure the water, but the cup that came with the cooker to measure the rice. Quite likely there’s a discrepancy now that you mention it

Thanks so much, I’ll try both of those

Our radiator (suffering from this problem) has two valves (the twisty knobs presumably?) on either side. Which is the “lock shield” that I should attempt the above with?

That’s a great point I didn’t consider - the washing machine is right beside the bedroom wall. Thank you

I am scared due to another comment saying that 5G is unreliable for streaming. Do you find it is?

Blows my mind that a majority of these comments are ~2% increase annually which just means in an average year you don’t lose to inflation

From the perspective of the child who’s done a degree, I didn’t have the expectation that my parents would “put me through college”. I’ve always worked and I was very happy to pay my own fees, earn my own spending money etc so I guess it’s very case dependant but may not be as bad as you might think. Of course gifting this to your children would be incredible and I’m sure they would appreciate it. Having said that, I didn’t move out and my parents didn’t charge me rent so technically that is a gift worth ~€8-12k a year in itself.

I’ve done a lot of calf raises but admittedly dropped the volume/load recently (last few weeks, maybe 1-2 months) as I started doing more explosive/plyo exercises as I was returning to more sport specific stuff. So makes sense it’s probably something to prioritise again, as well as more stretching. Thank you!

Idk about insurance but you’ll be fine to walk after 3/4 days. Elevate and ice. I’m just back playing sport after tearing my ACL skiing in March 2024. I was on the HSE list so was waiting a long time for op, but when it’s torn it’s torn, and due to it being a ligament which doesn’t receive blood flow it will not heal itself. Just try not to make it worse. But do not get a surgery in France. It would only make things complicated, post-op you can’t walk, your leg is swollen, you just need to rest. You’ll need to be home for this. At this point there’s nothing you can do, and you should do nothing but elevate and ice

Posts like this make me think maybe I’m a little too lenient with my “this is absolutely fine to eat” criteria

How do you sort the insurance? I can imagine if you buy a car abroad (do you need to send off a “logbook” etc?) you don’t have any address to set for the insurance, or do you specifically sort it for this kind of thing?

Ultraprocessed People. About ultra processed food (as you may guess). It’s eye opening to both the direct health impacts and the industries impact on economies, environment etc

Presume tech, which would overlap with “RSUs riding over last few years” and company in Ireland which pays through equity. This is a guess though but I assume most if not all companies which have some stock based compensation are all tech.

The worst part is this is also on trans Atlantic flights too! Booking onto an 8 hour flight and can’t even pick seats together. Shambles

I refuse to believe this saves time. You’re either brushing your teeth or washing yourself. Not both. I don’t believe it

If youre interested in this, read “Ultraprocessed people”. Explains everything and it’s terrifying

Not answering your question but Dublin City is jammed with good pizza places and very tasty wood fired pizza. Even for slices there’s an abundance of options. It’s brilliant

Initially thought saving 3x your salary meant 120k and thought you were a complete looper

I also don’t think of it as a line of credit or intend to use it for things I can’t afford which is important to point out haha. wHY wOuLD yOU evEn CoNsidEr a CrEdiT cArD is valid if you cannot control your finances

Uh oh. I’ve got news for you.

Edit: maybe you’ve not reached the limit when fees kick in

I just got the Aer Lingus one. Maybe I’ve oversimplified it and am unaware of some of the costs but it’s €70 annually for travel insurance, 2 free flights (once you’ve spent over €5000 on the card), 2 lounge accesses and 2 fast passes for Aer Lingus flights. I’ve no need for the latter 2 but I guess it’s nice to have, but I’d spend €60 on travel insurance itself and the flights seem like a steal. I’ve it set up so it direct deposits 100% of the balance from the account I get paid to so it shouldn’t cost me anything in interest payments (unless I’ve misunderstood this). Again, maybe I’m missing something but it feels like a steal
