  • Fried chicken help?

    Jump

  • I absorbed this from Cooks Illustrated, years ago: unless you're deep frying your chicken, the best option is to start in shallow oil to brown the coating, then finish in the oven to cook the meat.

    It's very difficult to shallow-fry chicken.

  • New homes are getting smaller. That could be big news for first-time buyers

  • Recipe for traditional Danish rye bread [Rugbrød]

    Jump

  • Thanks! I don't know if my starter is alive or not, but it's been staring at me from the back of my fridge for months.

    I'm American, but I bake a lot. I've only ever seen ml for liquid in international bread recipes. More commonly it's just expressed in weight and, occasionally, in bakers ratios.

    I always liked the dL/dM measurements when they were teaching metric in school. Decameters, in particular, always seemed like a great unit, as it's so easy to estimate with a hand-span. My second language is Spanish. I know there are words for the deca measurements, but I've never heard them used.

    For being so universal, I find that the way metric is implemented has a ton of variability country-to-country. I remember learning some basic Italian for travel, and discovering that etto is a common measurement there (1/10 KG). It seems like a much more human-scale unit, as opposed to ordering everything in hundreds of grams.

  • I'm going to save this for fall, when the nuts show up at the farmers market.

    What did you do to reduce the tangyness, and how do I reverse it?

    Also, deciliters? I haven't seen that (or decimeters) since middle school. That's 100ml, right?

  • Especially those at work who can't install their own software.

  • Study Finds Consumers Are Actively Turned Off by Products That Use AI

    Jump

  • It's farcical.

    When a company introduces something consumers want, we will research and find a way to get it and use it ASAP. Nobody needs to interrupt our workflow to tell us about it. I don't remember getting any in-app notifications for the Gmail select all "feature," but I figured it out pretty damn quickly.

  • It's Sunday night, how do you beat the Sunday Night Blues?

    Jump

  • Oh shit thank you so much.

    My towel was still in the dryer. That would have been an annoying way to start the week.

  • It's Sunday night, how do you beat the Sunday Night Blues?

    Jump

  • Get to bed on time so I can face the Monday blues on 8 hours sleep.

  • Men in their 40s, what’s one piece of advice for men in their 20s?

    Jump

  • Go to the dentist. Get a little exercise. Find a way to reduce calories over the next 20 years, spend as little as possible. Borrow a little money for your car. Stay away from credit cards until you make enough to pay the cards in full every month. Keep track of every skill you learn on the job, using that information to transition into higher-paying jobs. Get a savings account. Spend as little as possible without skimping on food quality. Save 1 months salary and keep that in checking. At the end of each month, transfer everything above the target funds into savings. Save 3 months salary for an emergency fund. Once this financial foundation is established, divide additional funds into two buckets: one gets invested each month, the other is for major purchases and travel.

  • How do you inform yourself on topics which don't belong to your field of expertise?

    Jump

  • I'm going to think about that and get back to you. I think it's mostly intuitive, based on many years of experience, but I'm not sure at this point.

    I also have to mention that I was half joking. I don't use YT all that much for my profession. I would, but it's just not entirely relevant.

  • How do you inform yourself on topics which don't belong to your field of expertise?

    Jump

  • The same way as topics in my field of expertise, of course.

    YouTube.

  • I honestly have no Idea what AI does to a processor, and would therefore not pay extra for the badge.

    If it provided a significant speed improvement or something, then yeah, sure. Nobody has really communicated to me what the benefit is. It all seems like hand waving.

  • Republicans wear ear bandages in 'solidarity' with Trump

    Jump

  • Imagine how mortifying it would be to have a legitimate ear injury this week.

  • What would you do if you were on an underground train, when suddenly the train shook, you passed through a portal, and the next thing you knew your carriage was lying in an unknown new world?

    Jump

  • Stay the hell on the train. Observe what happens to other passengers when they get curious.

  • What are some things that absolutely should NOT be recycled?

    Jump

  • Why is that?

    If I have the choice between composting or recycling paper, would it not be better to recycle than compost?

  • Samsung Electronics workers announce ‘indefinite’ strike

  • I'm not saying it'll happen lol. Just that it would be the intelligent thing to do.

  • If Seoul ever wants to chip away at their demographic time bomb, they desperately need to fall in line with these demands.

  • Fellas of Lemmy, what's your Every Day Carry (EDC)?

  • I also bring cuticle nippers to work. I hate that moment when I realize that I'm going to be screwing with a hangnail for the next 7 hours.

  • Google is switching the Pixel 9 to an ultrasonic fingerprint reader

    Jump

  • Exactly. I used to register my off hand, as that was a little less likely to get damaged.
