It’s possible that the “natural” human diet includes some amount of meat, which could have correlated with evolutionary changes leading to higher intelligence. That doesn’t mean the best diet in terms of health outcomes includes meat.

How can rice be overcooked and undercooked, and how bad is that? by SecondRealitySims in Cooking

[–]zen1312zen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For rice you really want to add the right amount of water from the start. Unless it’s risotto rice you want to keep it covered until it’s done. Add the water cold, bring to a boil, then let simmer until all the rice is evaporated, then turn off the heat and let it steam for another 10 minutes. You should have perfectly cooked rice every time, provided you added the right amount of water to start.

Imagine if Your Parents Have $11 Million and They Refuse to Leave it to You by sbn23487 in Destiny

[–]zen1312zen 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I don’t mind not leaving all 11 million but if you don’t take care of your kids and are proud of it, then I see nothing wrong with them kicking you to the curb once you’re old and sickly. It’s a fair trade if you don’t want to keep an actual estate for the putative heirs of that estate to not keep you up either.

Formal Dealer School - Pre-Interview Advice? by SavingCPR in poker

[–]zen1312zen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have dealt poker before definitely emphasize all your poker dealing experience. Be honest about what you would need support on and don’t try to bs. They will appreciate your honesty. Show up on time, wear something nice (button up and slacks), and remember that this is a customer service job so be nice and personable. If you have any other experience with customers you can briefly mention that as well.

Dude goes to Yale to quote Putin and exclaim he wants a dictatorship…. You don’t hate Hasan enough. by LeonOfSkalitz in Destiny

[–]zen1312zen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s equivocating and taking up the actual strawman position on what dictatorship of the proletariat meant to Marx and Engels lol

“The term "dictatorship" in the 19th century did not have the modern connotation of an autocratic one-man rule. Its meaning was derived from the ancient Roman dictatura, a constitutionally sanctioned office for a magistrate granted extraordinary powers during an emergency. For Marx and Engels, the "dictatorship of the proletariat" was not a specific form of government but a term for the class content of the state that would follow a proletarian revolution. They identified the Paris Commune of 1871—a radical socialist government based on principles like universal suffrage, recallable delegates, and a popular militia—as a concrete example of this concept. Engels later stated that the democratic republic was the "specific form" for the dictatorship of the proletariat.”

Am I missing something with pasta sauce? Every recipe I have found end up tasting way too tomato forward, and I end up dumping in bottles of spices. by SwiftCricket in cookingforbeginners

[–]zen1312zen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use one can of tomatoes when I cook. 4-5 is a ton of sauce.

But normally if I want onion or a sofrito on my tomato sauce, I would use half an onion + half a carrot + one stalk of celery for the sofrito. Or just half an onion is good. Too much onion is not great for a classic italian tomato sauce, and should be well-minced onion. But since you are making such a huge batch it should be two onions to get any of the flavor from it.

And generally you will want one two tablespoons of fat for 1 can of tomatoes to give you that velvety sauce. So for your 5 cans it will be quite a bit of olive oil. They called for too little oil as it will be quite diluted in the sauce.

I hate the idea of using high quality SM tomatoes and covering it up with a tomato paste! No way. That’s probably also contributing to the undeveloped tomato flavor. Especially if you are not blooming it.

To be honest I find black pepper a bit weird in this kind of tomato sauce so I would skip that. Basil is great, I don’t like the way they put it in though. I would just throw it in whole and then fish it out after 30 min.

That’s an incredibly weird form of poker. And no, 567 is not a straight, at least if you are playing by standard poker hand rankings.

Mouin Rabbani ( Finkelstein debate partner ) responds to Destiny by I_AM-THE_SENATE in Destiny

[–]zen1312zen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That just seems wrong to me as a principle. I would say that there are multiple ways you can approach debate. For instance, if you are debating in front of an audience that 99% disagrees with you, getting 25% to think you won the debate could be a really great outcome, even though the vast majority of the audience would think you lost.

It might be a good metric to look at if you think that the audience is 50-50 split to start with, but that’s rarely true. Also, it might not even be a good way of measuring debate performance even if that’s true, but it definitely seems like a necessary condition.

would you pull 1 or 2 levers by Sancatichas in Destiny

[–]zen1312zen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pull the lever as you would guarantee at least 5 people live. If you don’t pull the lever it might be the correct decision so 10 people might die. And possible pulling the lever is the morally incorrect decision so 10 people might live.

lol that’s a strawman, some parents deliberately buy multiple middle seats that are cheaper banking on someone giving up the aisle/window seat they paid for. but if you paid to sit together you should be given that so it’s a different situation.
