pugsnroses77, in What cheap tool/gadget do you use that greatly improves your daily life?

rice cooker. i have one that i use like a fancy crockpot so i can leave the house and come home to hot food. mandolin or a food processor is a close second, makes chopping veggies a breeze

My issue with food processors is they take more time to clean than they save.

Which one do you use?

pugsnroses77,

i use a mini kitchenaid i got for $50 a few years ago. its easier to store n clean bc its tiny. it isnt good for big batches but is perfect for a few carrots and onion, or a handful of spinach. then i usually just swish it all with warm water and im good to go. i clean while i cook so its basically all done by the time im eating.

I guess I just don’t find it hard to chop things with a knife, which is very easy to clean. I have a food processor, but getting it out of the cupboard takes almost as much time as dicing an onion with a knife.

pugsnroses77,

i think for me is im a disaster and usually will end up with veggie particles all over the counter and floor and then have to spend time cleaning that up else the cat gets his far face all over it. on top of that i have a super tiny food processor which makes getting it in and out super easy. if i only had my larger one i could not see myself bothering with it.

AgnosticMammal,

Rinse after use, then its a matter of wiping down in hot soapy water.

Never let the debris dry in the food processor or you’re gonna have a bad time. Same with blenders.

If you can’t reach the crevices you can also run it with warm (not hot) soapy water to clean the crevices.

A bottle brush is great for those crevices, too 🤌🏼

Kase,

Those little brushes they make for cleaning straws have so many other uses, I swear.

Edit: just realized you said “bottle” and not “little,” sorry about that lol

Piecemakers3Dprints,
@Piecemakers3Dprints@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, and if you’re really old-school, you simply use a pipe cleaner… 🤪

Kase,

Ooh smart idea, I forgot those existed for a bit there lol

Piecemakers3Dprints,
@Piecemakers3Dprints@lemmy.world avatar

That’s exactly what the “straw cleaner” people wanted you to do, ya know…

They’re insidiously clever. It’s not your fault. Better humans than yourself have gone their whole lives assuming those fuzzy bendy things were just for preschool craft projects. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Buddahriffic,

Yeah, if you can’t soak it, get that food off before it dries. This is why I prefer kitchen tools that you can take apart. I replaced my Foreman grill with a griddle with removable plates and love it, even though the Foreman had a bit more cooking area. Plus I got waffle plates and also got rid of the waffle maker that I rarely used because it was such a pain to clean if you ever overestimated how much batter it needed.

Imagine conservatives don’t have to get pissy about stuff they made up themselves. After decades of imaginary things, fabricated in their own minds, it’s easy to not take a single thing serious that comes out of their mouths.

One day it will be something real, something serious and dangerous for us all. And nobody will listen to them.

Yeah there is a lot that is going wrong there! especially there used to be at least in the USA the mantra of “I didn’t vote for the guy but he is our president and as such I stand behind him in support” that is completely gone it seems. I know republicans in the past who said things like that to me.

WheelcharArtist, in hey - trying to switch from Chrome to Firefox, what are your recommended extensions and/or quality of life addins, etc?

ublock origin, noscript

SirToxicAvenger,

i tried noscript and I didnt like having to manually authorize each site. it looks like it’d be useful in some situations

Goatastic,

NoScript and umatrix are a pain when starting out. But once they are working can change your whole view of the web. Umatrix even has setting cloud saves so if you move PCs or reset in some way you don’t lose an that work.

I never cared for it. Broke a lot of sites and I never found it helpful.

NorthWestWind, in why do & ampersands never display properly in titles?
@NorthWestWind@lemmy.world avatar

On Eternity we have the opposite (work in title but not body), but when I click into the post it looks fine.

popekingjoe, in What is your ideal Oreo dippage time? (Or your biscuit or cookie of choice.)
@popekingjoe@lemmy.world avatar

Until it’s too late to save it because I dropped it in the milk several minutes and fuck shit ass I forgot thanks to ADHD because ooo lizards.

PissinSelfNdriveway,

Exactly, you wait until you feel it just starting to dissolve under your fingers and then try to pull it out fast and gentle. If you are in any way slightly wrong it’s gone

DirigibleProtein, in No politics inteded: Why isn't Trump after leaving office in any way or shape involved in politics say as member of congress or senate?

Because no one with any decency or wisdom wants or trusts him.

CarbonatedPastaSauce, in hey - trying to switch from Chrome to Firefox, what are your recommended extensions and/or quality of life addins, etc?

LibreWolf is Firefox without Mozilla telemetry, and with privacy settings on by default. Consider switching.

Be aware that the more extensions you add, the easier it is for websites to fingerprint (identify) you.

LW is great - comes with UBO pre-installed. The only thing I’d say about it is that, for Linux users, avoid the appimage as its a bit twitchy and forgets settings sometimes.

ichbinjasokreativ,

Used it for a while, but it seems to have issues when using the Dark Reader extension and I cannot handle staring at white pages at night

I guess he hadn’t taken enough advantages on the side yet, so he decided to try it all again.

bionicjoey, in hey - trying to switch from Chrome to Firefox, what are your recommended extensions and/or quality of life addins, etc?

Ublock Origin & Sponsorblock - for blocking ads

DarkReader - for making all websites “dark mode”

Disney

Dadifer,

Remind me why we don’t like Disney?

star wars sucks now

Marin_Rider,

I grew up wanting more star wars, any star wars! now a new show comes out and I’m “meh”

also, I’m kind of over the shift from movies to shitty streaming shows. good ones are a diamond in the rough

detalferous,

They have created the perpetual copyright scheme we all suffer with.

There’s no reason copyright needs to last longer than 7 years

JackbyDev,

Even something like 30 years feel reasonable. It’s insane how long it is.

detalferous,

There is no value to society to have it last that long. And if there is no value to society, then the system should be changed.

cRazi_man,

“Value to society” is not what rule-makers care about.

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

It used to be 19 years with the option to renew for another 19. Meaning if you didn’t care, it went into the public domain after 19 years and if you did care, it went into the public domain after 38 years. That seems really reasonable to me.

zero_iq,

They’ve also benefitted enormously themselves from public domain and expired or pre-copyright works like traditional folk tales etc. exploiting them and their timeless appeal for huge profits, then mired and viciously defended those derivative works with copyrights and trademarks, and refused to allow their own works’ copyright to expire. Take take take, never giving back.

detalferous,

Excellent point

spiderplant,

They also pledged or gave $2 mil to Israel recently

this!

Sootie,

It does have some rather specific use cases but if you need it it’s amazing. Way better than chrome profiles imo

fubo, in No politics inteded: Why isn't Trump after leaving office in any way or shape involved in politics say as member of congress or senate?

Lack of competence, decency, and love for his country?
