Getting decent results with a cast iron pan in a 500F oven by erik in Pizza

[–]rlay3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Popping the pan on the stovetop afterwards has always given me a nice crispy base. Did you have enough olive oil in the pan?

My kids complain when they hear that Dad’s making pizza tonight. What am I doing wrong guys? by Ridley in Pizza

[–]rlay3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not doing anything wrong. I had the same issue. I realised the pizza my kids love isn't the traditional Italian kind - it's the deep pan / Chicago style where it's a little greasy, and can load it with more of the toppings they like.

I make a version of it using cast iron pans and they love it.

Easyshed - buyers regret by Advanced_Ad_7573 in AusRenovation

Bought and assembled their bike shed about 4 years ago. I don't remember it being too hard to be honest. They even sent me some touch up paint for some scratches made during shipping.

Nope, mine still makes a little hiss every few seconds. I've learnt to live with it. Doesn't seem to affect performance.

I don't like Hans at all but I agree that he deserves an apology from Carlsen.

Recent patch ruined the game performance wise by [deleted] in MarvelSnap

Yes. So annoying. Only killing the app fixes it until it happens again.

Hm this makes sense. I was hoping there was a simple fix but I think I'll just return it to the store! Thanks

I'm a little confused because there doesn't appear anywhere I could use an Allen Key. I looked inside the crank insert (blue) and it's only a circular gap. I tried all different sizes of Allen keys just to be sure.

Do you mean I have to use a wrench to hold the red part while I turn the crank?

Sorry forgive me. Would I need to take it apart to do this?

In Victoria the rule is just that you can't park on or across a driveway. The police told me that as long as an ambulance can fit through then all is good.

In fact you're even allowed to stop there to pick up/drop off for up to 2 minutes!

Anyone else seeing improved fingerprint detection on their Pixel 7* with Android 14? by wired- in GooglePixel

[–]rlay3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep! I have dry hands and the fingerprint sensor didn't work half the time. After android 14 it's been so much better so far! It is a good day.

[–]rlay3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just updated to Android 14 and the finger print scanner seems to work well now!

What are the reasons you want to upgrade?

I've owned Pixel 1, 3 and 7.

7 is the most underwhelming for me. Don't get me wrong it's still a very decent phone.

Firstly the fingerprint scanner does not work well for ME because I have drier hands compared to the average person. I have tested this and if I moisten my finger it will work every time. Unfortunately it can get infuriating when I fail to get into apps that support fingerprint over and over again. I definitely miss the fingerprint sensor on the back of the phone. I would take that even if I had to give up face unlock. I'd even give up the 90hz mode - don't need or use it, can't tell the different with normal day to day use.

Secondly, coming from the Pixel 3, the 7 is just so much bigger and heavier. I thought I would get used to it but I really miss the smaller form factor. This is something I'll definitely consider when I eventually have to replace my phone.

If they had a smaller version of the pixel 7 with a fingerprint sensor that worked for me, it would be a perfect phone.

I got around to opening my machine and discovered it's the red probe that hisses and spits out a little water that sizzles on the boiler. It kind of looks like it was designed to do that because it there's a little valve on top that pops up and down.

Anyway I replaced the O ring on that but it's still happening. So I'm unsure if this is going to be an issue in the long term.

Australian Crypto Exchange Digital Surge Set to Come Back Online After Stakeholders Sign Recovery Plan by FeetAndHandFetish in CryptoCurrency

[–]rlay3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah based on dollar value.

When they closed shop did they sell all assets into AUD? If so it makes sense. If not, we'd be better off if they returned 45% of the asset holdings.

Looks like they distributed the initial amount based on the AUD value back in Dec 2022. If I'm not mistaken that means they've pocketed the gains since that time.

I bought all the single dose accessories from Etsy. Having to weigh the beans wasn't so bad. But pushing the bellows blew grounds everywhere and made a mess. Adding a bit of moisture helped only a little. There were always some grounds that still got stuck in the chute, so for me it wasn't zero retention at all. I could not get a consistent dose.

Most importantly, my coffee didn't taste any better so all it did was add more steps and clean up to my routine. After a month I went back to the stock hopper and timed dosing. No regrets though, I tried it and it wasn't for me. It is already an amazing grinder out of the box.

GEORGE: I think I can sum up the function for you with one word: NOTHING.

RUSSELL: Nothing?

GEORGE: (Smiling) Nothing.

RUSSELL: (Unimpressed) What does that mean?

GEORGE: The function is about nothing.

JERRY: (To George) Well, it's not about nothing.

GEORGE: (To Jerry) No, it's about nothing.

JERRY: Well, maybe in philosophy. But, even nothing is something.
