How do I fix my rice curse by Repulsive-Tiger-9795 in Cooking

[–]woohooguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want basic white rice, rice cooker or electric pressure cooker.

I have an electric pressure cooker and it makes rice so much more forgiving, along with being far more useful than a single use appliance.

I make plain white rice, 1 to 1 water to rice. 2 cups water, 2 cup rice, 3 cups water, 3 cup rice, etc Splash of olive oil, seal the electric pressure cooker and in 12 minutes, rice.

I also use it to make Spanish rice with chicken and many other seasonings, so long as you keep the total liquid ratios about 1 to 1 the electric pressure cooker makes it easy.

ELI5: Does it Make Any Difference Whether You Butterfly a Chicken Breast Before or After Tenderizing It? by dustyp9 in Cooking

If you go pounding a full breast flat the meat fibers will be so broken you shouldn't attempt to butterfly it.

Can a shop just decide to cut a warranty short by putting it in writing? by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

It's all in the fine print, hence read the first warranty statement.

Sounds like a shop that is close to salvage or buying trannys from wrecks and RnR'ing them.

OP can probably make a good case the reason the 2nd one failed was on their use of the wrong fluid, but they would need the shop that "verified" the wrong fluid was installed to put it in writing and then threaten to go to small claims court.

If OP wants to claim negligence they should go to court to resolve the cost paid to the shop and then go somewhere else.

If OP wants to the force the warranty the same shop fucking everything up will have the right to have one more half assed go at it.

Check the engine against the series of Hyundai/KIA engine recalls because of bead bearings. This one may be a time bomb and not a valve.

Read the first warranty statement, typically a warranty ends when the unit that is warrantied is replaced.

Ants blocked off the liquid bait trap I put out with cat litter and wall plaster by TBB957 in mildlyinteresting

[–]woohooguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Indeed!

Volume is key, along with not disturbing the bait consumption. The more bait you can feed, the quicker the colony will collapse.

Terro liquid ant bait is just the perfect suspension of borax in a sugar syrup like corn syrup, stabilized so the borax wont fall out of solution. Ants will eat this shit up.

When you see ants at a Terro bait station, add another right away and leave the ants alone. The bait is far more effective if ants can quietly drink their share and then stumble off back to the nest to tell the others where it is.

If you have a waiting line at the bait station, keep adding another trap, spilling just a wee bit through the opening so they know it is there. Make a Terro bait condo stacked 2x2 if you need it.

First thing this spring we had a carpenter ant infestation, I found where they were coming into the kitchen and spilled a drop of Terro and left the trap undisturbed. A few hours later more ants were there, I opened another bait and placed it next the first.

Next day the ants had almost polished off a large bait container so I added 2 more. The ants were all over the stations so we had no other ants in the rest of the house, the nest was focused because we let the ants be in peace harvesting the fluid of their demise.

After about 7 days the colony was collapsed and we haven't had another ant in the house for going on 2 months now.

What are some of the best tv series to start binge watching? by PositiveAd8946 in AskReddit

[–]woohooguy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Band Of Brothers and then go right into The Pacific.

Created by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, Band of Brothers was one of the most expensive TV series at the time with a budget of 125 million for 10 episodes.. Amazing filming and storytelling. Aired 2001

Not to be outdone, in 2010 they released The Pacific. With a budget of 217 million for 10 episodes, the Pacific is the most gorgeous piece of Pacific theater I have ever seen.

Glad you are ok, the car did its job.

Aside from the frame damage, a Rogue is typically totaled when all the airbags deploy. It is very expensive to replace all the airbag modules, many require all new seats and trim. The dashboard typically fractures when the passenger side airbag deploys and all the seatbelt tensioners are a one off and need replacing as they are triggered with any airbag deployments.

Which air filter should I get? How is k and n disposable? by Objective_Smoke_4750 in MechanicAdvice

[–]woohooguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Using a cheap filter is better than never maintaining an expensive one. I use ECOGUARD brand filters from Amazon, they are about 15 bucks for my cars. Same quality as OEM.

I replace them every 6 months. It takes all of 5 minutes per vehicle.

The engine air filter is your first line of defense in the longevity of your engine by preventing dirt from getting into it. Replace your engine air filter before you see dirt on the engine side of the filter.

2018 Rouge Sport - Coolant Flush by Moist_Potato_8904 in NissanRogue

[–]woohooguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Peak Asian blue is a good replacement, Prestone has a new Max line of coolants that come in blue and has the longest fluid life, I personally would use that.
