I'm argentcorvid most other places (not Instagram though, that person is not me) I hang around on #metafilter and reddit I don't plan on posing much

American living in Rural Central Iowa. I don't really post much.

  • There's a convenience food that is not available at most grocery stores. One that I would pay extra for. Day old refrigerated rice. I would make fried rice more often.

    Jump

  • I have received packaged pre-cooked rice like this in home delivery boxes before, so the infrastructure is there.

    the problem is convincing them there is a market for it in the store.

    idea: get in the good graces of a near-by restaurant that makes lots of rice?

  • Internet radio recommendations

    Jump

  • KEXP.org - public indie radio out of Seattle. Has good shows over the course of the day. I really like the afternoon show (1 pm pacific time) on Thursday. The DJ does "OG Thursday" where he picks a group or artist and highlights songs that sample them.

    Thecurrent.org - kinda the same deal out of Minneapolis, but also different

    Both available on their website or through the https://www.radio-browser.info/ database

  • Why does this always happen?

  • Aren't you a little young to be reading Moby Dick?

  • Wrong, the primary duty of a story is to make the author money. MD was originally published serially in a magazine, and that's why it goes on for so long.

  • What lemmy thinks of Iraq?

    Jump

  • (bart simpson voice) The exports of Libya Iraq are numerous in amount. One thing they export is corn, or as the Indians called it, "maize". Another famous Indian was Crazy Horse. In conclusion, Libya Iraq is a land of contrasts. Thank you.

    joking aside, sorry about America.

  • Fried chicken help?

    Jump

  • I just did some drumsticks last night.

    before you start, make sure you have a tin can or glass jar for oil disposal.

    soak your meat in buttermilk for several hours. shake with heavily seasoned flour. <- this is where your "recipe" will come in. Salt, pepper, whatever kind of herb mix you like. allow to rest for a while so the flour sticks. preheat oven to 350°F in a large frypan put in enough oil for about an inch of depth. don't use olive oil. vegetable oil is fine, others will give a different taste. other common ones are peanut oil and crisco shortening. heat the oil over medium-high until it is around 375°F fry chicken in batches until brown. turning pieces after 3 or 4 minutes when the pieces are brown all over, put each on a rack over a sheet pan (or just a sheet pan with foil or parchment paper) bake chicken until done to 165°F, maybe 20 minutes

    you can also do "oven-fried" which isn't quite the same, but gives good results without the mess of the oil.

  • get a controller frame like a GameSir and do some emulated gaming.

  • Is there a way to make it so that your devices (sd cards, USBs, phones, laptops) etc can't be copied without knowing the password ?

  • At work, if we want to use a USB drive we are required to use one that has a hardware pin pad and onboard encryption. So those exist
