Reply to comment by LegendaryRed in LPT: After every mechanic visit, drive your vehicle around for 10 to 15 minutes extra before going back home. by TheMasterBaker01
I know. I formerly owned an aircraft maintenance business. This dealer didn’t do much in!the way of diagnosis. Of course the errors reset so it took a little driving for them to act up and the problem to recur. I took it to another dealer that found a wire bundle chafing. If I had continued with the first dealer it would have been more parts swapping. Related to the OP it is advisable to do a good shake down run immediately.

I bet you're a blast at parties, if you were invited.

Misread the title and couldn’t work out how pot noodles were useful for people who own a house

Bro, I am 100% Asian. I cook rice in a rice cooker just like you do. However, there are cultures who do not cook rice in the way you describe. For instance, Basmati rice in Indian and Pakistani culture is cooked very differently, and with different ratios. They look for a non-sticky rice with individual grains. You don't get that from a 2:1 ratio in a rice cooker.
So literally Southwest Asian cultures (the Indian subcontinent) cook white rice in a very different manner from you and I (although very similar to the OP), and you give them shit for not knowing how to cook white rice?
I fucking love Indian food, but I guess you've never had it. You have only ever had the stickier rice from eastern Asia? Broaden your horizons a bit.

Also, it's not so much fragility as not liking it when people who don't understand a topic try to make people feel bad, even though you really don't even know what you're talking about.

This doesn't apply to all white rice. Long, medium, and short grain are all cooked differently. Also different cultures will cook the similar varietals differently based on their dishes.
Do you really think all white rice is the same? Is all white bread cooked the same way?

Nah, they're right. The other poster acting like there is only one way to cook rice, and that any other way is wrong and the "white" way. It's pretty ignorant, really. There are many different cultures and many different ways of cooking rice. The way described by OP is how some cultures cook some types of rice. It reeks of ignorance.

Yeah even without the context of culture it still just feels like a valid way to achieve a slightly different finished product than what the "right way" to cook it would provide. Weird that so many people are talking shit lol

During hurricanes, place them in the horizontal attic vents to prevent blowing water intrusion into the attic.

Not every culture cooks rice in the East Asian style. Get off your high horse.

Reply to comment by doubleflusher in LPT: If you are feeling lonely this holiday season, consider volunteering for an organization that helps your fellow humans (or unfortunate animals). If at first you don't like it, try a different organization. It may take a few tries to find out what truly feels good. by ilovemybaldhead
Doing it once to help yourself is still helping someone else. It's not a billionaire "donating" a million to their own charity. And someone who helps once, and likes it, might come back.
Discouraging someone to help others is the worst thing you can do. That's what you just did.
You just did the worst thing you can do. Did it at least make you feel better?
