Pre-cooked chickpeas are going to be too soft for falafel unless you add a lot of binders; otherwise they'll fall apart in the fryer. Soaked (but raw) chickpeas are the usual method.

I have had great luck with this recipe: https://www.themediterraneandish.com/how-to-make-falafel/#tasty-recipes-10436-jump-target

Yeah, agreed. I love that podcast but listening to it makes me too upset so I need to take breaks lol

I think that was a Supreme Court case, Glacier Northwest, Inc v. International Brotherhood of Teamsters (learned this on the December 5th 2023 ep of 5-4)

I switched from Windows a few years ago, and I had the hardest time getting used to moving/maximizing/resizing windows on Mac.

Not sure if that's what you mean, but if so then "Rectangle" solved all my window management problems, so much so I bought the pro version almost immediately.

You'll find a lot of Italian chefs used julienned mozzarella/fior di latte, or batons, rather than big circular slices. There's no firm rule that I'm aware of!

That said, trying to grate fresh mozzarella, instead of low moisture mozzarella (like is generally used on non-Italian style pizzas), would likely leave you with a big wet smeary mess.

I make a dozen large pizzas a week (I do a weekly pizza night for our small cottage bakery) and I cut my fior di latte into strips, then let them dry out a bit, covered on a wire rack in the fridge overnight before using.

Last I checked, Kobo will be better specs (screen, water proofness and connectivity) for the money, and if you're technical it can be modified very heavily, including pretty easily user expandable storage.

Kindle will have a more seamless Amazon experience and maybe better support.

I have a Kobo Clara HD, and I love it to bits. Warm temperature backlight, and I have installed custom firmware on it which lets me use a different reader app, and run an SSH server on it so I can remotely transfer files etc.

Is there a reason you wouldn't want to just get a zigbee/zwave/wifi smart outlet switch?

Me too! ~~Unfortunately I believe they were bought by Intuit a while back, so I fully expect them to start sucking or disappear soon~~

Edit: Okay I think I was operating on faulty information/memory, or just bullshit. Disregard, sorry

I was going to suggest this too. A magnetic white board on a conspicuous wall in a common space. It's what my wife and I use for her cottage food business. Whiteboard marker, post-its, or notes affixed by magnets.

Thank you for this post; there's a lot of this that I didn't know, and I've always had a vague anti-PETA sentiment without really knowing why.

I have both (they both can coexist peacefully on the same library). I use jellyfin for any watching on my phone or computer.

However, where jellyfin still really kind of falls apart is when casting to my Chromecast. Controls don't work, subtitles are unpredictable or missing, and it's just generally a mess.

So I use Plex for casting, and jellyfin for everything else. I bought a Plex lifetime pass ages ago, so it's an easy call to just have them both running.

I've been trying to find suitable brake pads for these brakes on my bike; Kool stop and swiss stop have both been recommended as brands, but i can't figure out which actual pads to buy.

I'm not picky, and mostly ride in dry conditions, just want to make sure I buy something that i can mount on my bike and will work!

I'd love to be able to use the controller to browse the web, etc; usually I have my hand resting on my mouse on my desk, but i've been developing tendon issues and having my hands in my lap would reduce the strain in my fingers when I'm passively reading or researching.

I've tried adjusting the settings in Steam for "desktop layout", but moving the sticks and pressing buttons in chrome doesn't seem to do anything.

So I've bought the emergency beacon thing from the scrap dealer, found the derelict freighter during a pulse drive, and boarded. Used the terminal, snagged the emergency supplies, and then unsealed the door. Alarm sounds, temperature drops, i walk up to the door and... nothing?

I see a counter that says something like "access requested: further authentication required" and it just counts up seemingly without end. Nothing to interact with on the door itself, scanning with the visor just shows a door icon that i can tag but nothing else.

I've tried quitting and reloading multiple times, and warping to different systems, with the same result.

M1 MacBook playing the steam version, fully updated.

I've seen a couple similar questions on steam forums with no answer, and I've submitted a help request through Zendesk, just wondering if anyone here has any ideas? Thanks!

I make Al taglio inspired pizzas for my wife's cottage food bakery. Still refining the dough and process but we've been happy with the results!
