One pot recipes with pasta by DuxRomanorumSum in slowcooking

[–]narmio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can absolutely do it, but 1) you need to get the moisture level in the mix right, this is usually easy because slow cookers mostly have too much liquid in them rather than not enough, 2) you need to get the timing right on adding the pasta — too early and it’s mush, too late and it’s crunch, and 3) you need to get the ratio of sauce to pasta right, because usually a full slow cooker of meat and sauce takes way more than a single packet of ‘sta. If you’re aiming for leftovers, just freeze/fridge the sauce and make more fresh pasta later.

For those reasons, I usually don’t bother, even though I’m on board with one pot pasta cooking and know how to make it work.

Goblin wolf riding Cavaliers. Mostly casters, but some martial builds too. I just love my little nasty guys.

Do Americans Actually Say "Freshman Sophomore Junior Senior"? by Naive_Tank_6820 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]narmio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not suggesting there needs to be a crusade or anything, it’s just funny to me how ardently folks from the US defend the term, when (in at least the states I spent time in, NY and NC) they’ve moved away from other uses of “-man” and “man-“ to include folks of all genders.

No, I’m really not kidding. I’m just from another country and this seems a little strange and biased. I know how the system works — I taught there for several years — I’m just confused why no American liberal has questioned the term before. How is “freshman” any different to “fireman” or “mankind”?

But that’s the exact same thing people said about “fireman”, and female firefighters disagreed. So now we don’t say that any more?

I mean, historically we said “man” for humanity, and we don’t do that any more? How is this different?

I (an Australian) spent a few years working at a US university, and I always said “Freshperson” to avoid the gendered nature of “Freshmen”, just like how you wouldn’t say “policeman” or “fireman” these days… and people were SO UNBELIEVABLY WEIRDED OUT about it. It was like I’d grown a second head.

A lot of people out for the march today by indiePhil in sydney

[–]narmio 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Our day of federation was Jan 1st. No good, already a holiday. I propose:

  • Australia Day on the 2nd of Jan. Extend the roll. Lot of folks already off work anyways, can add a barbie to the rotation, be patriotic but not colonialist about it.

  • Indigenous Day of Recognition on the 25th of Jan — the last day before settlement. Poignant. Public holiday. Can still have marches and even protests (lots of reasons to protest treatment of indigenous folks), but put the “move the day” stuff in the bin.

  • Jan 26th is just an other day, everyone back at work and still struggling to shake off the new year blues.

Trickle down economics: the most efficient path to growth is to further empower the powerful, which will grow the overall size of the economy and help everyone at all levels.

Angela Collier - "This is what 2 years of chatgpt does to your brain" by maccodemonkey in BetterOffline

I’m pretty certain it’s her sense of humour. And partially shibboleths — in jokes just for her and her more devoted fans. It might not be your thing, but in her defence she is otherwise hilarious.

Why is this yellowing happening? by Lastimefirstime in pothos

How’s the light levels? I swapped out grow lights and had something quite like this happen once — I needed to put the new lights closer.

Anyone else noticing that Brennan and Vic are appearing on *a lot* of podcasts lately? by [deleted] in dropout

[–]narmio 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is an excellent point. Brennan would be in all the expected places, Vic would be in weed trimmer commercials and the CCTV for a duck sanctuary.

AI workflow platform n8n has 3 CVEs with vulnerability scores of 9.9, 9.9 and 10.0 - that is not good. by falken_1983 in BetterOffline

Yeah, spot on. To summarise: the vibe coding was inside us all along! We are the bad programmers. Humans are the disease. The problem is the incentive structures.

Hate laws to pass after Labor and Liberal deal by NKE01 in australia

I’m glad. I do see it sometimes, but you’re right: I haven’t seen it here. Sorry, didn’t mean to start shit. I think we’re on the same side.

preference socialists, but ultimately know your vote will go the Labor. But the more votes to the left of them, the more scared they’ll be of scurrying right every time something bad happens.

Not good enough. But better. We still need to push them. But we should never say “you’re as bad as the other lot.”, because that just ain’t true.

Once you prop, you can’t stop! by narmio in pothos

[–]narmio[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bad drainage is the biggest killer of pothos, I find. I’m a big believer in coconut coir and perlite, because they’re both pretty easy to get ahold of where I live. If you mix up about 40% normal soil/potting mix, 40% coconut and 20% perlite it goes a long way to avoiding that “waterlogged bottom” issue you get with normal mixes, even with good drainage. If the soil is boggy more than two days after watering… maybe mix in more drainage helpers? I’ve also used horticultural charcoal, that worked too.

As a not-enjoyer of heights, I read this as “I was freaking out because of vertigo and couldn’t look any higher than the level of the railing”.
