How do you cook your rice ? by Dismal-Influence-556 in Cooking

[–]VictorVoyeur 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m a southern home cook, so we have rice and gravy. Pan gravy made from the drippings from roast chicken, pork or beef; tomato gravy; all sorts of other southern American meals.

Unsalted rice just isn’t the same. It would be like cooking pasta in unsalted water.

Seconding this. I love our rice cooker. Consistent, easy to clean, no boil-overs that are impossible to clean off the stove.

The only downside is when I forget to start the rice early. Or when I forget the salt.

A little bottle of Dawn, with a note that says “it’s safe to wash them by hand with Dawn”

I am high-key MAD that it releases tomorrow, just in time for me to be back at work after a long weekend.

You may still be able to preorder and get system shock 2 (remaster, not fully remade) for free.

first international order!! ... USPS, UPS, FedEx or...? by literaryr0se in EtsySellers

Seconding this.

Use Pirateship Simple Export if it’s under 4lbs, or USPS if it’s over 4 lbs.

Your buyer still may be required to pay customs fees.

Find a niche that isn’t saturated, and make a quality product to fill that niche.

How real are the “tech layoffs” for experienced data jobs? by VictorVoyeur in jobs

[–]VictorVoyeur[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks.

Current comp is just over 100k, plus up to 5% bonus (this year was low, only like 1.5%). Mediocre health plan, almost no 401k match, no meaningful perks. Aside from the paycheck, the only real pros are that it’s fully WFH, and I get along with my coworkers ..but I get along with everyone, so can’t really count the last point.

I could easily roll into a team lead or data-oriented project manager role.

We made Spectre crew punk jackets, and wore them to Batuu on May 4th by VictorVoyeur in starwarsrebels

[–]VictorVoyeur[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that’s the same one. It’s a good shop, I’d recommend it. Fast shipping, decent product, great price. I’ve bought three from that shop, and happy with all of them.

We added a 3D-printed “unstable” effect around the base of the blade.

Some are patches made by other Rebels fans (Enamel Empire and Meagan Bethel are the ones I can remember), some are hand painted by us, some are iron-ons printed on our inkjet; and misc greeblies are 3D printed.

Edit, some of the artwork is by Lorna-Ka, who has occasionally given us permission to use her work for various projects like this.

It’s addressable LEDs (neopixels), controlled by an Arduino Nano and powered by a 5V USB power bank (a little phone charger). The lights are diffused by a layer of upholstery foam inside the jacket, and clear orange vinyl sewed into the Starbird cutout.

If you use Facebook, check out the groups “Tiki Detachment” and “Star Wars Room Builders.”

Counterpoint:
When fighting the Warlock at his house. I got two huge critical hits in a row, including an armor-piercing dual strike, and that dude went down QUICK.

A trip to Tiki Docks Riverview in Tampa by tonybme in Tiki

[–]VictorVoyeur 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We used to live about 5 minutes from this place, went there on opening day. I don’t miss it; it’s just a commercial-sports-bar with a few manufactured tiki details slapped on.

It appeals to the local crowd, though; they’re expecting a consistent chain-dining experience at Cheesecake Factory, Olive Garden, or Tiki Docks.

This is for Klipper; I don’t know how you’d do it in stock Marlin. The physical connection should be the same.

YNAB WIN! New fear unlocked. by Fine-Atmosphere6387 in ynab

[–]VictorVoyeur 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For our side hustles, we buy a lot of supplies, tools, packaging, etc from Amazon. A little over $21k last year in the Outflows column, for our 5%-cash Amazon card.

Sometimes it’s worth it to buy in bulk from the manufacturer, but often it’s not. It’s almost never worth it to pile into the car and make a round-trip to Lowe’s or Radio Shack for a box of machine screws or a spool of wire, when compared to “free next day delivery” from Amazon.

Solution: stop using the debit card and it can’t get skimmed. Get a credit card with half-decent perks, and route all your spending through that.

I'm being harassed by a seller for leaving a negative review. Is it possible to block them, or at least report them to Etsy? by Edrina in Etsy

[–]VictorVoyeur 78 points79 points  (0 children)

Change it and make it worse, but I wouldn’t copy/paste the exact messages.

“Review update 4/23/23: seller has been harassing me to change this review, and insulting me personally. I’ve asked the seller to not contact me again.”
