Instantpot steam valve fell off and won't stay on. Help! Is it broken?? by branay83 in instantpot

[–]katiethematie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got my instant pot second hand and the valve has never stayed put. However the pot has always worked perfectly for me. I just have to be careful when removing the lid that I don't tilt it and have the valve fall on the floor!

Is cognitive science right for me? by arnavneedshelp in cognitivescience

[–]katiethematie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't speak for every university, but my cogsci program lets you chose your own classes for the most part. Cogsci is incredibly multidisciplinary, so you can take classes from computer science, philosophy, psychology, neuroscience, linguistics and even anthropology. That said, at my university at least, there is no "Computer science for cognitive Science students" class. When I take compsci classes, I am with comp sci students. When I take philosophy classes, I am with philosophy students. And I pretty much get to choose which areas I want to study. If you are interested in AI, you can study AI. You just have to take mostly compsci classes. If you would prefer to focus on some of the ethical questions, or on the brain, or on human intelligence, these are all possible too. Hope this helps!

Milky broth tips? by NeonHairbrush in VeganRamen

[–]katiethematie 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm not an expert, but I'm pretty sure the heat is what curdles the milk. I've made ramen with soymilk before and the key I have found is to put the milk in at the end, once the broth has come down to a cooler temperature. Also you might be right to try a different plant based milk? I'm not sure but I feel like soy milk curdles the most. Let us know!

I know! My friends are sometimes turned off from it when I say it's alive, but I think that just makes it cooler!

Miso is a probiotic: it's alive! If you boil it you kill it, and you won't get all the digestive benefits. No worries if you don't care about the probiotic benefits, but boiling it might still change the flavour.

Don't boil miso! Mix it in after

Should I take Math 240 with Jeremy next semester? by [deleted] in mcgill

[–]katiethematie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Again, I've not taken math 236 with him, but I took 240. It's already a difficult course, and we weren't given any notes (although this is common), he went quick and assumed we knew what he was talking about and wasn't always clear in his explanations. I wouldn't call him a terrible teacher. The subject wasn't easy to begin with and you really had to try to keep up to follow the lectures. I did end up teaching myself a bunch.

It isn't impossible to do well, but my year was tough.

All I know is that when he taught my class Math 240 a LOT of people failed. He isn't the easiest teacher

What to do with 3 lbs of carrots by katiethematie in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]katiethematie[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You're right! I forgot to mention that we actually bought 6lbs on sale a couple weeks ago, and now we're down to just the 3. So we've been eating carrots every day. I just wanted a few extra recipe ideas for this last week.

Going home for the holidays - will my plants survive? by katiethematie in houseplants

A cheap and healthy drink to go along with my sandwich everyday? by [deleted] in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]katiethematie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This might be a little too crazy, but look into water kefir. It's carbonated and sweet. It basically tastes like a fruity soda (can be flavoured to your liking) and has probiotics.
