    I've resigned myself to one really crispy side for homestyle potatoes or takes too long and/or they dry out. I do red potatoes in chunks in cast iron with some butter and/or bacon fat. Quick toss then make sure all are making contact then let them cook without disturbing them, lid mostly. That...

    I don't like doing steaks in my cast iron. The high straight sides aren't t ideal and gets prone to retaining too much moisture and starting to steam. And my best cast iron is only ten inches. Got a 12 inch pizza comal on the way with no sides I might try for steaks. Only downside is more...

    Barley is a bit bulkier and fills him up more for the calories, but we'll do rice, egg noodles and potatoes too. We've cooked food for the dog from Concerns over tainted kibble but ended up being cheaper that the "good" kibble we were getting. And once he was getting ground beef and chicken...

    I get it. At some point after I don't know how many days played I was hate-playing Starfield as I held back finishing the Crimson Fleet quests knowing they were some of the best content but still a let down. Returning to Cyberpunk 2077 after Starfield made me question my sanity for putting so...

    I don't know what a hainese chicken rice is, but it's sort of your duty to inform us of gadgets and asiany cooking we way not appreciate. I've actually been thinking of getting a better rice cooker. The $20 one I have is inconsistent, especially doing barley for the dog. Sometimes soupy...

    I've seen 90 Day Fiance.... $300 for a rice cooker is a bargain.

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Thought it was body since that's what's animated into the cutscenes. In my research people saying only dude bodies could romance Pamam. Even the dude body with a female voice and vagina was able to, but had to be the dude body.

    No! First of all, he was a Caucasian. Maybe some very distant Persian, but very Caucasian. Second, I picked the smallest penis option because I'm not gay. I should make a bbc bull character to teach that prude bitch Panam a lesson for not sleeping with my chicky-D.

    I wanted to make a new male character to romance Panam since my female characters (even the one with a dick) couldn't. So I make a dude even though I'm not a huge fan of the male model or voice. ....and my girlfriend walks in and says my male V looks black. Light skinned, but definitely black...

    Yeah, that was another one. Decent story that built to a fairly forced ending that didn't change much. Though... The front two guards inside would attack me every time I came back... I'd slaughter them as customers and staff ran for their lives, then as I was looting their bleeding corpses...

    The quests/story infiltrating Crimson Fleet were pretty good. And then the end result is just shrug worthy. Very little change to the world. No interesting options to try to take over as leader. I let Kunta Ikande live, but still all felt very canned and generic and like it didn't matter what I...

    Might just be a dud. If still under warranty just do a claim. I had a sticky trigger on a new controller. They sent a new one, had me keep the old, and the trigger cleared up in a few weeks anyhow. Sales and customer service have always been pretty good.

    The studio that made a half baked game with a ton of bugs has half baked NG+ system full of bugs. I'm thinking they should have polished the initial turd before trying to shit out multiple variations of the turd.

    Like when idle or just generally? I ask becausey controller has been disconnecting quicker it seems recently when it's paused and I'm doing something else, so maybe a recent change. Otherwise you can try to pair the controller again. Have had to do that a few times with spotty/laggy connections...

    Grease fire and water is bad. Fire blankets work well for grills, or just get a huge bag of baking soda for cheap which is what most of the B and C fire extinguishers are if I remember correctly. Or do what I did and try to explain the different extinguishers to the wifey and then just buy an...

    My old range hood wasn't great and the house would fill will oily haze frying, or smoke doing pizza. New Hauslane hood and much less of a problem even just on medium but there's a high setting that is like a jet engine. Just crack a window upstairs maybe for super cross draft to pull the air...

    There's a trick someone found to get those inaccessible UC ships. Confirmed with a Raptor so far, which seems to be most of them. When one lands on a planet, don't enter it, fast travel somewhere that lets you rest for three max times 150 UT hours I think When you go back it's empty and available.

    Like when you're doing a mission and instead of using some form of comms you have to run back and forth to the same NPC to get updates and explain what happened in person. It's weird when a lot of the game lacks basic current technology. Radios? Cell phone? Any form of comms. Nah make the player...

    I wanted a big cargo ship but without the maze. Converted one of the Va'ruun ships that had 30 power. Got the bridge with stairs, because it's cool and stairs are better than ladders. Top level has a docker with a 1x1 hab and 2 2x1 habs off either side. Could use a 2x1 for the docker but door...

    I had them in my 20s. Called a workshop in the 2x1 habs of all brands. Stroud has one that includes the research terminal as well which is handy. Nova adds two passenger slots but doesn't have the research terminal.

    Have tried a few recipes. Most the dough gets too think and bready. Prefer thinner Brooklyn style, but keeps being too thick. In part because I haven't had a good oven for like three years and just been "baking" pizza in the toaster oven which was causing some of the issue. Got a new oven that...

    I can't even make pizza dough that I like! I did screw up focaccia by letting it sit in the fridge for too long. After 48 hours the dough was so wet it poured out of the bowl. The dough ended up so light and puffy might do pizza hut style bread sticks or Detroit pizza with it. Was just...

    I'm only level 24. Been spending too much time dicking around trying to steal ships. My main ship has some upgrades and keeps being better than stuff I steal, and not hurting for credits, but I find the discovery of finding random ships and exploring them more fun than most aspects of the game.

    One thing I don't think I've seen mentioned is stealing ships in space is a bit easier when it comes to swapping them back. Disabling an enemy ship with weapons that destroy systems, then dock, take it over. Undock from your main ship and immediately go into the ship UI and make the stolen ship...

    I love stealing ships and playing shipbuilder. Definitely worth it early to steal and mod a bigger ship than the starter to save a lot of credits.
