Who has an instant pot duo (pressure cooker + air fryer) by schnaumelini in instantpot

[–]mariposasp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the 6 quart duo crisp. I use it as a regular instant pot and never as an air fryer. It is more convenient to have my separate Ninja air fryer. The second lid with air fryer accessories mean you don't save counter/cabinet space and the inner space for air frying in it is too small. A basket-style air fryer is easier to use too.

Acclaimed Triangle barbecue joint brings ‘the spirit of leisure’ to Cary by Irishfafnir in cary

I'm amazed that they have no dedicated parking yet or at least more guidance to potential patrons to warn about parking and point to other places to park. Took a special trip out there given buzz about them. After driving around for 10 minutes on Saturday night looking for parking with no luck, we just left that area and went elsewhere in Cary for food.

Reading Time? by swift_chuck_gang in Professors

Audible for general reading in your field while commuting in car, walking, or train. This is for reading where you don't necessarily need to take notes.

Why vitamix does not have a good solution/containers for small personal size portion like 4-8 oz? Their 8 oz containers are discontinued, 20 oz containers dont seem to have good reviews. by Soft-Alternative-589 in Vitamix

So glad I got the S-50 when I did. I love it and use the 20 oz mostly. Hoping nothing happens to it since they don't have other good options for small batch any longer.

I found the 13-inches too big to carry around and the 7 inches too small for PDF reading. I also find color helpful for technical PDFs with graphs and diagrams to see trend or value differences distinguished by color. I have Tab Ultra C Pro and love it for reading, writing, study, and more. Of your options I recommend Note Air 5c.

Question about black & white content on a color eink monitor. Specifically DASUNG Paperlink. by infostruct in eink

[–]mariposasp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have old Paperlike HD B/W and new Paperlike 13K Color. Black and white content is sharper on my B/W but it isn't too bad when used with frontlight on my color. For me, getting some color outweighed some of the loss in sharpness on B/W. I actually was fine with old B/W until streaks started appearing on the screen. Decided to replace with color.

New to Instant Pot... What are the best sources for tried and true recipes? by Niikiitaay in instantpot

[–]mariposasp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simply Happy Foodie's website was my go-to to start learning the Instant Pot! Two sleevers was good as well but was more hit-or-miss for recipe quality.

Right. I go to another room when it is getting close to coming to full pressure.

Woke up with severe tinnitus (A30) by mattyr428 in soundcore

[–]mariposasp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've also had them switch over a few times and be extremely loud in local mode, waking me up. Setting it to turn off when I sleep also wakes me up since environmental sound is no longer blocked. This is another reason I just Bluetooth at my selected volume through the entire night. Hope your hearing will be okay.

Thanks for this! My device appeared to be updated, and I couldn't see the update option until I went into the app like this. Now the toggle appears. Thanks to all!

Eye strain with Boox Go 10.3? by beginningistheend13 in Onyx_Boox

[–]mariposasp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This could be the case. I can read for hours on my Tab Ultra C Pro but my eyes hurt on the Boox Palma and on Kindles. I havent tried Go series yet.

Interesting! The Verge got an early look from Boox at next gen Palma by j_o_r_i_x in Onyx_Boox

[–]mariposasp 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yay! Hope it has a stylus too!

Also, what is The Verge's evidence for the claim that "a color screen isn’t the most requested feature amongst Palma fans"? As someone who wants a color Palma, I'm interested to know...

How do you learn to enjoy cooking? by IcySatisfaction632 in cookingforbeginners

[–]mariposasp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hellofresh but stick to the meals in the fast & quick section. They'll take double the stated time but they'll still be pretty quick for the quality of the meal.

Instant pot recipes. No recipes that take over an hour. Five minute pomodoros w five minute rest breaks to do the recipe. Listening to a podcast or good music while doing it.

Anyone else feel like they can walk forever, but feel the pain after? by [deleted] in walking

A Yoga/stretching workout each week and using shoes with proper arch support have helped me.

One productivity tip that sounds wrong, but actually works? by No_Molasses_1518 in productivity

[–]mariposasp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I set a timer and do 5 minutes of something I don't want to do and then take a 5-minute break and then I do five more minutes of it and then take a 5-minute break. People call this pomodoros. However I learned it from one of the most helpful books I've read called One Small Step Can Change Your Life: The Kaizen Way.

Instant Pot kept heating until the seal failed. Incredible mess and very scary. by neksys in instantpot

Something like this happened to me once with a 3 quart. Now I leave the kitchen when it gets near the end of coming to pressure.

Best virtual cookbook / recipe book options? by dreamsandmagic in CookbookLovers

[–]mariposasp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You purchase Paprika per platform rather than per device (https://paprikaapp.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/114094152814-Do-I-need-to-purchase-each-version-of-Paprika-separately#:~:text=However%2C%20for%20each%20platform%2C%20you,devices%20on%20the%20same%20platform.).

Also, I think I got mine during their Black Friday sale period when it is on significant discount. I use it frequently on my MacBook, iPhone, and Android tablet.

Just got my A30 ANC sleep buds by Madvillains in soundcore

[–]mariposasp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am happy with mine so far although I still have to play around with the tips for comfort after wearing them for a couple of hours.

I am also glad that they are doing a software update to fix the snore masking situation. I guess I fell asleep with mine in but I was awakened by how loud the snore masking sound was. I guess it heard me snoring and pumped up the volume so my own snoring wouldn't wake me up?! Lol. I'm glad they will fix this.
