When I make my own pizza I use the spare sauce as a dip. Bit of olive oil and fresh basil over the whole thing makes the crust pretty much as nice as the rest.

Also for the stuffed I think you have to do more of a burrito roll type thing so that the edge is trapped by the weight of the stuffing.

So the answers in this post are mostly that people are downvoting the bot because it is often wrong and then others defending it by saying “it’s not wrong it’s just based on American politics”.

If the bot reported from a range of sources that reflect a number of different political perspectives I’m sure it’d be more useful outside of the scope of American politics, and therefore wouldn’t get downvoted.

As far as I’m concerned the vote system is working as intended.

The internet is not American. There are no nations on lemmy ✌️

We got a rice cooker that can also be a slow cooker, which is another useful strategy. Chop stuff up in the morning, chuck it all in, set it going then eat whenever you want.

Our primary motivation was weight loss ahead of our wedding, but the guiding principle should transfer: make it super easy. We’ve found that the lowest effort method will win out over all our intentions, so we’re rolling with it.

An example: chicken curry with rice. Also a disclaimer, we have a couple of appliances that make stuff slightly more convenient but I’ll put the alternative down too.

It takes around a minute to wash the rice then chuck it in the rice cooker. you can get microwave rice cooker pots or just use a pot on the stove. Once you’ve got the weights and timings dialled in this produces perfect rice just as you’re going to serve with no interaction during.

Then cook the chicken breast and set a timer for when the rice will be ready. We use an air fryer, but used to use the oven.

5 minutes before the chicken is done whip up the curry sauce.

Then it’s just serving - rice goes in the bowls, slice the chicken and put on top, then pour on the sauce.

Whole process looks like this:

  • start rice cooking
  • start chicken cooking, set timer for 25 minutes
  • go do something else for 20 minutes
  • start heating the sauce
  • when chicken timer goes ding, put the rice in bowls
  • slice the chicken, add to bowl
  • pour on curry sauce

Total cook time is around 26 minutes. Total interaction time is around 10 minutes.

It’s also super cheap.

Edit: forgot to mention that you can cook whatever veggies you want in the same thing as the chicken and don’t need to adjust your timings

I should add that it isn’t perfect, it’s early access so expect some weirdness albeit a whole lot less than you’d think.

My favourite, for example: if you’re hiding behind cover make sure it is THICK, else a body part might clip through the model making it able to be shot. Mostly happens when prone making legs and feet stick out.

Can’t believe nobody has mentioned Battlebit Remastered. Ridiculous value. Yeah it’s low poly but you stop seeing that after around 5 minutes.

Okay, clearly you’re just here to to be contrary or whatever. Maybe you don’t like that people have different opinions than you. Maybe you’re a Zuck fanboy and can’t hack being on the wrong side of the fence. Maybe you’re part of some FaceBook/Meta conspiracy to brigade.

If you’re so smart and confident that you’re correct, why don’t you show me the bit where GDPR doesn’t apply? Burden of proof on the accuser and all that.

Here is a link to a search, where the first page of results is showing that when Facebook bought WhatsApp this exact same issue popped up - what was once two distinct services suddenly started sharing data, despite user dissent. We’ve seen this before, and people are pissed off just like before.

I hope you step on some Lego in a dark room. You could use that to post to your Threads account! 🤙

Actually it’s more like being upset that Facebook friends show up in WhatsApp.

The user in the link is upset because their IG profile is now visible in a different service and they did not explicitly consent to this.

And of course there is such a thing as a Threads account, you even refer to it in your second paragraph. Just because they share a common IDP doesn’t mean they aren’t a distinct service. It’s effectively single sign on without the appropriate privacy protections.

It’s cool that you’re into the whole thing, but other people aren’t and they have a right to be pissed off. GDPR and the like weren’t created for no reason.

No, it’s just that users don’t like systems where you have to opt out by default. Like you used to have to opt out of shitty marketing emails after a purchase, but then we changed that to opt in and everyone is happier.

[-] jakwithoutac@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago

It’s not stupid, you shouldn’t be able to discover users in one service from another unless those user have explicitly opted in. It’s not a technical issue, it’s a principals issue.

In this case, you create a Threads account and you should be able to discover everyone else who has also made a Threads account (cos that’s the point), but you shouldn’t be able to see Instagram only users unless they have explicitly said that’s ok.

This is probably all ‘explained’ in the T&C’s, buts that’s getting into a whole other thing

I’m glad see high effort shitposting has taken root over here too

[-] jakwithoutac@feddit.uk 6 points 1 year ago

I sincerely hope you aren’t lying because I will accept this as fact and act accordingly should I ever see something I think is a huntsman spider

I’m learning to embrace the warmth so I’ve got the boys coming over, firing up the pizza oven and have the Peroni chilling in the fridge. Not bad for a Wednesday :)

Might even get the sprinklers out for the dog
