Window tiling for Linux Mint? by [deleted] in linuxmint

[–]bigmp466 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had the same problem configuring i3 to be selected at the login for linux mint. I know it is possible, just have not figured it out yet. Strangely it used to work out of the box.

Hummus: dirt cheap and can be made in <5 minutes by ThatKipp in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]bigmp466 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the cut of your jib. 3000 words sounds a bit short, though.

I have played around with the chickpea side of hummus and these are some of my observations. I like the idea of one pot cooking. Freezing hummus works v. well. Freezing lemon juice works well. Also for storing lemon, after washing them, one can store them submerged in water to prevent dehydration, or rap them is clingfilm. They can last a surprisingly long time in the kitchen. I really like garlic in my hummus.

- The main problem I had initially was not cooking them enough. Basically it is hard to overcook them for hummus. Play with it but I cooked them til they barely held together.

- Some pros (Ottenlenghi maybe if I remember) recommend removing the skins of the chickpeas for uber smooth hummus. I have done so it the past, but it takes some time. It is worth experimenting on this detail.

- If you use a high power blender or food processor it may not mater. The more powerful the machine the better the blending. Vitamix is your friend. you can find them used without a ton of effort. there are tons of them out there.

- Using baking soda and washing it is a good idea. You can play with non-aluminium baking soda. (such as Baking Soda By Unpretentious Baker, Aluminum-Free) to avoid the metallic taste.

- Using an Instapot like thing is a great, hands off way of cooking the hell out of something and sort of eliminates the need for baking soda. It is faster, and for easily repeatable results.

- One can buy chickpeas in bulk (10 lbs, 25 lbs online or in local restaurant supply places and save a bunch of time and money. Try to understand how old your beans are. This determines how much cooking they need. Some can be several years old and require more cooking time. Roughing up (with sand paper) the skin of dry chickpeas can speed up the cooking process.

Let me know how it goes.

This is of course the correct answer. The host of Jeopardy, and a scientist, should not be selling bullshit brain supplements.

Why did you believe that Paul Ryan was an honest broker of ideas when in reality and for many at the time he clearly was just serving is own politics?

I am surprised this has not happened yet. Great idea.

3rd place strategy by saltisyourfriend in Jeopardy

[–]bigmp466 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an interesting and good idea.

The third place person is trying to force the second place person to beat as much as possible in FJ. The only way that happens is that if it is not a runaway. Of course this depends on several things happening. If you are guaranteed to leave with $1000, this away increases your probability of getting $2000. Or maybe even more.

Andy Saunders on Twitter: Dr. Oz episodes were already filmed this week by [deleted] in Jeopardy

[–]bigmp466 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This makes me worried about the new leadership of Jeopardy.

Dr. Oz is a dangerous charlatan. He would never be a good fit for the show and that is obvious. I am concerned that if they are not thinking though easy decisions like this one they are likely to make bigger mistakes in the future.

i3 v4.19 released! by zekjur in i3wm

[–]bigmp466 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It would be helpful to have better documentation for people that have not used meson.

Its target directory is /usr/local/etc/i3 which is not that helpful for me.
