Boiling the rice pasta-style seems to be a far more effective method of removing arsenic.

I’m not particularly concerned about consuming too much arsenic from rice, however.

I recommend using a rice cooker, but it’s also possible to get good results with a regular pot and appropriate heat/fluid levels.

I don’t rinse my rice for the rice cooker and it comes out perfectly fluffy and pleasant each time. I do however stir it a little, such that the grains don’t stick together after having poured in the water.

And that was when I learned that you have to rinse the rice first.

That’s a myth actually, you don’t need to do it. It comes out completely fine without washing the rice. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3CHsbNkr3c

The rice cooker makes a difference though. They are pretty interesting from a technological perspective: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSTNhvDGbYI

This has a certain gadgetbahn-smell over it and I remain skeptical.

Ditching catenaries for batteries make the vehicles heavier, requires them to be out of service for a part of the day to recharge and increases capex per vehicle instead of taking the capex on catenaries.

The claims of autonomous driving seem dubious - this usually warrants a level of separation that’s rarely afforded to trams. It’s possible, but it for sure requires not cheaping out on the infrastructure.

Ditching timetables in favour of some kind of demand-driven dispatch reduces the predictability of the network, and also seems unnecessary if the claims of autonomous driving are actually true. Maybe they have to cheap out on the amount of vehicles when making each vehicle more expensive with the batteries.

Who knows, maybe the numbers work out better than what we can see here, but until then, I remain skeptical. I hope to be proven wrong.

Mexico has breakfast tacos at home, they’re called Tacos de Canasta

No, I’m saying that both water vapor and more harmful emissions are similar from an aesthetic perspective - which is why some laymen are under the impression that nuclear plants have harmful emissions.

This isn’t a discussion of emissions, it’s a discussion of aesthetics.

The U.S has no moral high ground to stand on here, especially under current leadership.

RTOs are most often a “one free layoff”-card that businesses play, so firing someone for criticizing it is very much in line with the underlying intent of the policy.

Complete hands-off no-review no-technical experience vibe coding is obviously snake oil, yeah.

This is a pretty large problem when it comes to learning about LLM-based tooling: lots of noise, very little signal.

So far, there is serious cognitive step needed that LLM just can’t do to get productive. They can output code but they don’t understand what’s going on. They don’t grasp architecture. Large projects don’t fit on their token window.

There’s a remarkably effective solution for this, that helps both humans and models alike - write documentation.

It’s actually kind of funny how the LLM wave has sparked a renaissance of high-quality documentation. Who would have thought?

2 people, about €300 spent in grocery stores monthly, with the caveat that both of us get some level of food at work.

I’m guessing they meant an ID card issued in an EU country

You can tag a mastodon user in a Lemmy/Piefed-post.

The caveat being that their server has to be connected to your server.

You can’t choose another server to log in. Think about it as email - if you are using Gmail, you can’t log in to your email using Hotmail. You can write emails to users with Hotmail, but the login only works for your own email provider.

I have a bidet as well, but I use a very small amount of paper to dry up - and verify that the bidet has done its job well.

I don’t think I would want to use it without any way of drying up.

The right-wing that is currently in power doesn’t really see it that way, unfortunately.

good benefits and perks.

Didn’t they literally just introduce free coffee at the office post-pandemic?

Not to say that I would willingly choose to work at Amazon, but I do know the reason. It’s documented here: https://www.levels.fyi/companies/amazon/salaries/software-engineer
