If you're making soup from scratch, you'd do better to cook the meat separate from the soup. The soup broth, instead, should be flavored with veggies, off cuts and bones. Once that's done, add the meat and let them simmer for a bit, but never hot enough to boil. Even the stuff in cans tells you to never actually boil the soup. Soups can totally "burn". Cooking it too hot will mess with the taste and texture.

They aren't terrible, but they aren't good either. Diffusion is a thing to think about when cooking. The reason hotdog water exists is because when you boil the dogs some of the flavor leaves them and remains in the water. I'd prefer to keep as much flavor in the food as possible rather than throwing some down the drain. This is one of those things people don't think about when they get into sous vide. They think adding all this butter and wine to the steak will end up with a steak with those flavors, but instead you just send up with butter that tastes like steak and wine.

Air fryers are great. I have one of those Ninja pressure cooker/air fryers and I use it all the time. Try parboiling some sliced up potatoes and then air frying them. So good One thing that people seem to skip is that you should really brush down whatever you're cooking with oil. Without any oil, these air fryers are just mini convection ovens.

General Gaming Finally somebody wrote what I've been saying for years

You can almost always find a free CRT or two on like Craigslist. The best filter I've found on RetroArch is CRT Royale. It's not perfect, but it's a hell of a lot closer than most other filters. -
It bugs me that a guy that's been working in this industry for so long and has been completely unable to improve his artwork in any appreciable way. For most people, just drawing a little everyday is enough to increase the quality of their work. How has decades of practice not helped this man at all? It's belligerent arrogance.

Direct grilling your burgers is basically letting all the nice juices go to waste. The flattop let's your burger fry in its own rendered fat. Deep frying also works pretty great for the same reason. Getting the temp of the oil right it's the trick, though. You don't want the burger flavors getting lost in the oil.

The Official Thread of Systemic Racism
Ghost_MH replied to SuperSpreader's topic in The Political Re-Education Camp
Here's a mayor arguing that his highschool's students throwing tortillas at a majority Latino basketball team has nothing to do with racism. High school stripped of basketball championship after tortillas were thrown at Latino opponents WWW.CBSNEWS.COM The school, Coronado High School, also faces other sanctions, including a ban on hosting post-season games until 2024. -
@Jason The G533s are pretty nice. They're very large like all these headsets are, but they're still comfortable. I'm getting pretty good range from the USB dongle. I'm not a huge fan that the only way to get 7.1 working on them was to install the Logitech gaming software. I was kinda hoping it would just be a driver thing, but nope. I had to install the suite and then enable 7.1 within it. Separation of channels is pretty great, though; even with heavy bass going. I'm a fan. I'm glad I got them for as cheap as I did, but I see B&H has them for $74. I would totally have bought them from there. I really do give them a lot of money now that I think about it.

Movies Clifford the Big Red Dog Official Trailer
Ghost_MH replied to Remarkableriots's topic in The Performing Arts Centre
The Paddington movies are the best combination of family friendly and surreal. They strike a really great balance. This movie doesn't look anything like that. They seem to be playing it too straight. I'd rather it be way more colorful and featur a whole ton more over the top acting. That's what made the Paddington movies work. They really leaned hard into how ridiculous it all was. -
Your friends totally skipped the not so fine print on Starlink. If they want bleeding edge, they should sign up for some business class, symmetrical fiber for like $1k a month. The guys I know on Starlink all live out in fly over country or had moved out into the wilderness because working remote from a literally cabin in the woods is possible now. Well, I only know one person that did latter. Everyone else was like on the fringe of DSL out in like nowhere Oklahoma. For those guys, it was the difference between barely being able to hear them over Zoom to them actually being able to join a meeting with video. Like I said, night and day for them. Anyone giving up cable for Starlink is crazy. Anyone giving up Fiber for Starlink should have their Internet privileges revoked.

Compared to what, though? The only people I know that signed up for Starlink had their choices limited to Starlink or like 12/4 DSL. It still is in beta, though, so I do know they still blink out every so often as more satellites are thrown up into orbit. Anyone with access to any kind of not-DSL Internet options, even if they're shitty compared to other parts of the country, probably shouldn't bother with Starlink.
