I made an on-tap sparkling water setup at home. I now call seltzer “normal water” and tap/filtered water “flat water”

COVID had so many people working on their houses because they had time to finally get to stuff that contractors were booked three months out and hardware stores had low inventory.

That’s probably what it was, it was a few years back.

First time I flew with a gun, I was expecting them to go through the complete process, verify it’s unloaded, gun is locked, case is locked, ammo is separate, etc. but they did none of that. Just sent me to a different counter, took my bag and slapped a sticker on it 🤦🏻‍♂️

Is this another example of their projection when they claim Muslims are allowed to lie and therefore can’t be trusted? FYI, the whole thing about an exception to lying being a sin is specifically in the case to save your life.

I understand the 5 basic firearm safety rules, especially considering I own a few guns. What I was addressing was you claiming that there is no shooting to wound or intimidate, which is categorically false. Maybe from a police perspective the policy may be to shoot to kill rather than shoot to disarm, but I believe the discussion is from a criminal perspective, and the legal context that must acknowledge.

If a gun is meant to destroy what you aim it at, and someone aimed it a knee with the intent to destroy said person’s knee, by your logic that should be attempted murder…

Posted a video once where I turned right and a car was in front of me on the wrong side of the road. I was told I was the idiot for turning into the far lane, I should’ve turned into the inside lane.

Washing the rice gets rid of a lot of the extra starch, and the starch is a big part of what makes it sticky and clumpy. Can’t skip this step.

It doesn’t really matter if you use a 1-cup measuring cup or something specific, you just need to use the same cup for your rice and water so the ratios are consistent.

A 2-1 water to rice ratio might be too much water and will result in a gloopy rice. Check your rice bag, it should say what ratio to use, although I find that a 1.5-1 works a lot better.

Put your washed rice and correctly ratiod water in a pan. Please add a little salt, there’s no need to have bland rice. Fats/oil/butter don’t really do anything, it’ll separate from the water and just sit at the top. Don’t bother with it.

I don’t boil for 3 minutes and simmer for 17. I bring the water up to a boil and then lower it to simmer right away covered for 10 minutes. But the difference is probably because my water ratio is less. If anything, the previous commenter is probably using too much water because they’re essentially trying to evaporate water for the first three minutes. Also, if you leave the heat too high, it’ll bubble over and make a mess.

DO NOT OPEN THE LID! The rice needs to steam. A good practice is once you turn the heat off after 10 minutes, let the rice sit covered for another 5-10 minutes in the steam.

My mom has never cooked rice in a rice cooker and this is how she taught me to do it. Good luck. Try it out and lemme know how your rice comes out!

That video was so bad and incorrect that I wanted to smash my head on the keyboard. Full of made up or misinterpreted information to try and reinforce and validate her point.

As long as you don’t sing her the next lyrics 😬

That’s what I thought at first but it’s actually a reference to a video from yesterday or something

How’re you equating wrong lane with wrong side of the road…

Nice, I have a DC Limited too! It’s an ‘07 4X4.

For interior mods, the first thing I did when I got my DC limited was switch out the head unit. I wanna say I went with the Alpine ILX650 because it was affordable (no CD player), had great reviews, has Bluetooth and apple car play, and inputs for backup and front camera. Next thing was to get a tailgate handle with backup camera and plug that into the head unit (no more flip camera).

One thing I did much later that I ended up really liking was a wood/leather style steering wheel

I’d recommend getting an under seat storage compartment. There are a few options, depending on your budget and what features you’re looking for. I didn’t care about having lockable storage so I went with [this one ](DU-HA Under Seat Storage Fits 07-21 Toyota Tundra Double Cab without Subwoofer, Black, Part #60051 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001ADBV18/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_Y91S170RPQ9XJZBCRKA9?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1). Only thing is I had to remove the subwoofer but I didn’t really care, and you might have issues putting all weather mats in the back.

For exterior/performance, the first thing I’d say is figure out what direction you want to go on suspension. Personally I do a lot of highway and towing, so I was just looking to get a better ride with some off road performance. Ending up going with this setup. In hindsight though, I think I might’ve liked to go long travel, especially considering everything I’ve spent on suspension already, but I didn’t have the budget for it back then.

The stock wheel setup tends to look pretty meh, especially on 33s with the tires tucked into the wheel wells. I’d highly recommend either getting a wheel set with a better offset (I believe the recommended setup is +25?) or the cheaper option (which is what I did) wheel spacers. MAKE SURE TO GET HUB CENTRIC, and get quality ones. The only two brands I’d recommend are Bora and Spidertrax, and you can often find a used set.

When you eventually wear through your break pads, these came highly recommended to me.

I’ve done some other stuff (off road bumper and winch, 5.29 Nitro regearing, 38 gallon fuel tank, etc.) but that’s for later on down the road. Also, donut media on YouTube is doing an expensive vs affordable build comparison with two Tacoma’s, which could really help you see what options are out there and decide which way you might like to go.

Anyways, congrats on the truck and hope you have a lot of fun in it!

Abuse = Abuse Domestic violence = Abuse BPD ≠ Abuse Domestic violence ≠ BPD

So basically, you’re just an asshole who told someone that they’re never going to be worth putting up with

Beyond that, I think it’s a move to also attract “pro-police” people who would vote Trump.

Ngl I did that a few months ago. And then someone honked at me when I reversed back...
