Lol.

Going through a Red Light (after a complete stop) at 3am in a desolate area when you are the only car on the road.

Also depends on the type of Brown Rice. We have one now, that cooks the same as white, but I bought one before that had a super thick hard casing and even after an hour of boiling it was still crunchy

Definitely look both ways and be cautious. Anyone who has seen The Mexican knows what I mean.

There will always be a cop watching that intersection. Do so at your own peril. I’d end up shot.

Yeah but then your sheets will be extra absorbent and you’ll get dry skin.

Fine? Sure. But the proper setting, especially on a higher end rice cooker, will result in better rice.

I had to put all my stuff in storage then move across the country recently. I did not bring my cuckoo rice cooker with me, and damn I didn't realize how spoilled I've gotten. The rice I'm cooking in a cheap one just isn't as good. I think it is over-cooking the rice, but it's actually hard to dial in

that is probably making your clothes age out faster than they need to (and takes longer and uses more power/water).

I've heard great things about the Cuckoos, my little Zojirushi is perfect though.

this reminds me of how my friend recently used our entire allotment of coffee grounds to dial in the coffee maker at the place we were staying

ten probably hungover people the morning after a wedding, and this guy used all the grounds to make end up with 2/3 of a pot of coffee, then dipped before anyone else but me woke up

love the guy, but that was not what I wanted to enter the kitchen to see

And I recognize that Zojirushi pot, so it definitely can make good rice.

I've been in this exact 3am situation. Good thing I didn't have time to actually make it into the intersection, because I would have absolutely been destroyed by the semi that came out of fucking nowhere going 20 mph over the limit.

A dirty gauntlet at that. Not sure how that helps for laundry, but everyone has their own process.

You don’t need a fancy slow cooker, you can use an oven to slow cook multiple things at once, or really big things. Oven-slow-cooked turkey is great (if you like turkey, anyway).

I use the bulky setting for sheets, blankets, and towels (probably similar to towel setting) not because it washes differently, it doesn’t, but because it has different thresholds to consider the load balanced during spin, and spins it to different speeds. I want my washer to last, so I use it properly with big heavy stuff.

I also use the sanitary setting when I wash underpants and post-bidet towels, but that’s because it superheats the water. Everything else gets washed on tap cold, regular cycle.

I wash clothes when the hamper is full, about once every two weeks. Everything together (except whites) longest wash, hot water.

Whatever comes out the other side goes back in the closet for the next round.

People make a big deal about buying clothes, washing clothes, folding clothes, organizing closets, matching clothes, shoes, belts, accessories, brands, who wears what when, blah, blah, blah.

Weather and society permitting, I wouldn't even wear clothes. Fuck clothes.

I've literally never had an issue not separating laundry. Years of mixed loads never any colours bled, I thought the whole thing was a myth.

Last week I washed a red dress of my wife's with whites, and all my shirts came out pink like a sitcom. It's real people.

That looks like a higher end zujirushi rice cooker which is probably why it came oot fine even with the wrong setting.

unless you want crispy outsides on the things, then crowding the oven makes it too humid in there

They make these sheets you throw in with your mixed color loads, I think called Color Catchers or something?

You can use vinegar to set dyes.

Red dye is particularly hard to set unless the Dyer knows and cares to do it
