@bonifartius There is certainly a decline in the last 50 years or so in people who can cook well. I think its just a consequence of a world who used to view cooking skills as a requirement for women. Now that that idea is mostly dead there is much less pressure to teach cooking skills to women and thus far less skilled women cooking. Men probably couldnt cook then or now, at least on the average. Of course there are always exceptions and many men and women can still cook well but less than what it used to be I'd imagine.

Cooking potatoes before frying them works just fine, it will get you a softer center. Its all about what you want. but for me when im cooking for myself and not some party or something there is a high priority to make the cleanup and cooking process as simple as possible. So if im going to be messing up a pan anyway i probably wont go through the extra step of pre-cooking my potatoes in a microwave.

I love a good potato, I add it to many ingredients like stews. But I also am trying to keep my carbs low so at least at the moment I am trying not to lean on potatoes too much as a filler.

Love, true love, seperate from lust, attraction, and romance, just pure distilled love is an extremely painful and difficult thing to learn. But once you understand it more than repays for itself.

@bonifartius Indeed, on the one hand i wonder why they ever invested in products that are so easily replicated at home... this product is literally jut a bowl with some shreded cheese in it and precooked sausage crumbles. Price wise its probably 5x doing it yourself (how much can a small amount of cheese and sausage really cost on a large scale!)

I have heard about potatoes, for me that one seems less useful simply because the only thing it seems to replace is a baked potato, which frankly i dont eat often. The sorts of potato im more likely to eat is going to be either fried (though on a diet hopefully not) or atleast crisped on a pan like home fries. The only non-crisped form of potato I could see cooking with is mashed potatoes and im not sure how well that would work in a microwave, though i could see it working.

All that said your particular recipie (which goes beyond an ordinary baked potato) actually sounds rather decent and quick. It might be worth a try as a side dish to something. May not be as good as cooking it on a pan and crisping the potato a bit but in a pinch it will still save a lot of time.

@lupyuen I'm not sure who to be more mad at, the people making the advances, or the people acting like it is a crime for someone to have romantic interest.

Now dont get me wrong there is an inappropriate way this can go down, if your slapping your coworkers ass at work clearly your a piece of shit. But the first account on the link basically just describes what sounds like a very polite guy who felt attracted to a woman and made that known in an attempt to see if the feelings were mutual. As far as I can tell he did nothing wrong beyond that.

The part im not clear on is how assertive or clear she was about her own disinterest. If she really said "sorry not interested" and he continued, then yea, he is in the wrong for making it uncomfortable, but still not a crime, at that point she should have just stopped interacting with him as she clearly didnt enjoy it.

I take issue with people trying to make someone showing romantic interest in someone as criminal when the feeling isnt mutual, at least when done respectfully. I bet if she actually felt attracted back when she met him the story would have sounded very different.

@trinsec Seriously it works, and the egg isnt bad at all... my life will never be the same!

@bonifartius Usaually I use my microwave for reaheating rather than cooking. But I bought something called "just crack an egg" on a whim as i needed a no-cleanup breakfast that wasnt high in carbs. Wasnt till i cooked it that I realized it was just raw egg being cooked in the microwave (its a cup, you crack your own raw egg into it, and there is cheese and some sausage crumbles in there, you mix it then microwave).

Obviously after trying it out this morning and realizing the egg tasted pretty decent I will probably start doing this in the future on my own (no need to buy this product which is really doing anything).. So in the future im just going to buy some paper bowels, and throw in 2 eggs, some cheese and crumble up a slice of pre cooked bacon.

@iankenway

Why, they have a lot of cats or something?

@funny

@iankenway The rollout under Trump was twice the speed as under Biden.

So not only did Trump play a huge roll in getting the vaccines made, even once they were made he proved to manage their administration better than Biden did.

@stef33560 Depends, what sort of content would you like to primarily use it for? QOTO members can use it for personal use without much restriction (or example if they just wanted a place to archive their private collection of videos of cats wearing dresses)... however foreign members we restrict to people who, at a minimum, will occasionally post STEM content.

Today I learned you can cook raw egg in the microwave... no more of this using a pan business for me, my life will never be the same!

@Pat Regardless the fact of the matter is that not only has the deathtoll continued to decrease after the announcement but in fact it is decreasing at an even faster rate before.

The fact is the epidemic (at least for america) is over, a few stragglers still need to be vaccinated but otherwise its time to move on and get back to normal, its virtually over now, in a month or two it wont even stand up to the flu.

@stux Looks amazing. Add a mountain of french fries to that and it deserves to be on the Dutch flag :)

@AstriusCatyote

This is pretty much the first thing you learn when you start veterinary school :)

@realcaseyrollins Well I am saying that only half-seriously of course. But then again dragging this bullshit out over decades might just result in way more loss of life than a civil war. I can only imagine how many people have commited suicide because they were "disowned" by life long friends for some minor political opinion. At this point its getting so bad there might even be an argument that a civil war would save lives.
