Is this some weeb thing?

Ebay is fine.

Y'all just out for blood today, damn.

Lok, how dare you, I'm here as a one person army trying to remove countless celebrity chefs years of prescribing restaurant techniques for home cooks.

Or you just accept the fact that the water boils off and enjoy everything else that comes with it?
Ghee has a very specific taste that I don't always want, it's more intense of a flavor than just regular butter.

If I really needed high heat with butter, I would just add butter and olive oil, but, generally it's fine.

ignoring your asinine trolling, a large amount of chocolate chip cookies would take about that much (unsalted) butter.

I accept baking needing unsalted butter, because baking you *really* don't want a lot of salt in it.

In general cooking though, if I'm saute'ing some veggies, it doesn't matter if I'm using salted or unsalted butter.

I don't know what you mean. if you use salted butter, then you are stuck with a minimum amount of either salt or butter. (if you use 2 cups of salted butter, then you have X amount of salt, minimum). as soon as you separate them, you are free to use as much or as little of either as you want. this doesn't mean you can't use salted butter, but things are immediately more flexible once you do.

What the hell are you doing with 2 cups of salted butter.

Sahuagin posted...

so that you can control the amount of salt. if you separate them, then their quantities become independent. if you use salted butter then the proportion is fixed, or even arbitrary.

That's irrelevant to homecooks, we can just... taste it. We're not producing 500 steaks a day and trying to optimize salt usage for our sous chef to get a consistent result.

Because people when following recipes don't taste their food to figure out if they like it or not, and instead follow things to a an exact amount, then complain that there isn't enough salt/pepper after.

You obviously get my point though. A sword cleaving an orc in twain is never "cringe worthy". Watching Picard struggle to carry 2 dozen "tablets" to his desk to perform a simple administrative task is hard to look at when I'm literally sitting within 3 feet of 2 cellphones, a tablet, a Chromebook, a laptop, and a desktop and all of them are more than capable of multitasking whilst light speed or multiple factors of lightspeed still elude us completely.

It's sort of ironic how badly a lot of elements of sci-fi age so poorly given Clarke's great quote about "any sufficiently advanced technology being indistinguishable from magic" when some of the absolute units of sci-fi have anachronistic tech whereas things like airships in fantasy can just be handwaved as "magitech".

Yes, betting on where the future can lead us just leads to kind of poor imaginings of what the future could be.
But, that's not what makes scifi interesting, the ability to teleport a missile onto another persons ship, or shoot a gauss rifle with flechette bullets to zip though someone, or the ability to have personal flying machines is interesting, but, that's not why I care about scifi settings. It's the fact that scifi is inherently a human question, it's the fact that we have the effective power of gods, but, not necessarily the morality to follow through with it. It amplifies and shows who we are and what we do, and how we justify it.

A lot of the "scifi greats" aren't about what technology is and what it can do, it's following through with the thought of so what. If humans had the ability to travel through space, but are still stuck in tribalism, so what do you get? Dune. If you have humans travel through space, but, hold themselves to an unbendable moral/ethical code, what do you get? Star Trek. Basically every Assimov short story and book is just about humans dealing with who they are, and the technology passes over.

The technology is just a gravy on top of a story about who humans are, and how far we go, in scifi greats.

In sci-fi, it always has the stink of when it was written. I'm not s***ting on classic sci-fi, but centuries in the future, people are still being couriered "holotapes". Picard sits at his desk doing personell reviews with 2 dozen PADDs on his desk because in 1986 one tablet multitasking with multiple windows was inconceivable.

It sounds like someone hasn't lived the multi-pad lifestyle.
It's like dual monitors for your desk.

Fun fact, the book was written after the movie.

My parents leave their shoes on.
I don't.

It just depends on the people and their situation.

Seems unhealthy.

It's made out of different food than beans.

There were 70 episodes with it on it?

The Netflix of cars!

Have you tried out any of the Zachtronics games? They have a similar sort of puzzle-feel.

I'm curious if it's unethical code or not.

It looks adorable, but, generally not my sort of jam. I hope everyone who likes this sort of thing has a blast playing it.

I don't have an iphone, so I can't listen to a podcast.

Not 30, but, old.

Garlic is great for ignoring minions or early on when your skills are on cooldown for a while.
I like it as a bit of a saftey thing.

Why would you need to pay taxes if it isn't currency?

Pro tip, short term capital gains will ruin your taxes-life. Careful about it.

Its either a physical issue such as a tapeworm or a mental health issue.

Neither of which is likely to be tackled through simple conversation. Im not saying you shouldnt try anything, but there isnt an easy way to discuss it nor is it an easy change to make.

"Lemmie check yo poop see if there's a wiggler" is a pretty simple conversation.

Tell them "woah there big guy, slow down" and then pat their stomach.
The glaring alone will kill you.

Oh god, they're just committing tax fraud now.

Oh man, that video's almost hitting 2mil, I'm so happy people are enjoying Folding Ideas. Dan's great.

There's some arduino kits out there that are fun.

Money is only money if it's in your hands, these aren't assets that are physically there so you can resell like a house or a car.

I'm going to give you some advice. If you say "if only I had done X thing" every time something happens in finance, you will just go insane.

Try it with your tongue, it'll hurt more!

That doesn't mean it's 100%, though. For example, some people could have caught it after receiving the vaccine. But if they didn't pass it on to anyone else and died, then small pox would die, as well... Basically, just because a disease is dead doesn't mean the vaccine was 100%. It just means it worked really well...

The question is where the disease lives. In smallpox, it could only live in humans. So if you make smallpox infect less people each week, eventually it just dies off entirely.
You can't do that for a disease like, say, rabies. Unless you eradicate all animals who could host rabies.

Oh yeah, give me some proof of these claims. Even most homeless people have IDs. How else would they buy beer lmao

Everyone outside of the most schizophrenic homeless dudes have IDs. And trust me, those schizophrenic dudes aren't gonna be voting anyway

I've known plenty of neckbeard-tier people in college who didn't want to, or, refused to drive a car. A drivers license is also the baseline ID for everything.
