Theyre on lemmy.ml and they likely can’t say it on their instance without it being autocensored. I also don’t agree with a lot of .ml stances but I don’t think they’re selling advertising space over there, has that changed recently?
Different bread though can be made with the same ingredients in different combinations. So of course they’re was variety. Rice is grown as is. So unless a culture cultivated different species of rice which could take generations then they wouldn’t have multiple types or rice. Different styles of bread could be made with very little extra effort and some probably even happened by accident. It doesn’t take multiple generations to produce a new type of bread.
Jasmine rice is NOT an American variety. It’s a long grain rice from Thailand and Loas. It was first grown in Northern Thailand and its cultivation had nothing to do with America at all. It’s also a very popular rice in Asia and therefore works well for many Asian Asian dishes and not just American Asian dishes.
This may be a bit pedantic/regional so I apologize for that but I’ve always heard of what you call “sticky rice” as “sushi rice” which is a short grain Japanese specific type of rice. Sticky rice as I am familiar with it is glutinous rice and is basically a gluey slab of sweetened rice.
I’m not down playing breads significance. I’m disagreeing with your implication that as a staple item rice is as easy to cultivate differences in as bread would be. You implied that when Europeans discovered rice they thought " wow there should be more kinds, we can make this more versitle" like the Asian people cultivating rice for centuries had missed the obvious unlike the bread inventing Europeans.
That’s likely due to quality, how they’re cooking it, and how fresh the rice is itself.
Jasmine rice loses its smell pretty fast and restaurants go through a lot so they and their suppliers are likely turning their stock faster and getting fresher rice.
The amount of water can make a huge difference in steaming rice even in a rice cooker. The packaging I see usually calls for like 1 1/4 water to 1 cup rice but personally I prefer a 1:1 ratio. Also always remember to fluff after it’s cooked!
American stores are also unlikely to carry some of the top Jasmine rice brands. I suggest a Thai brand whenever you can for Jasmine rice. I personally like the three ladies but there are other good Thai brands too.
Out of pure curiosity does anyone know where “new growth fir” lumber is the typical building material? In the US most homes are built using Pine but that can’t be true everywhere.
I’ve been out of homebuilding for a while but we’re I was we largely used SYP and our SPF was all pine. Perhaps that was just the region I was in though.
This really looks like a technique called Irish crochet. Motifs are made separately and then pinned down and the connected webbing is then crocheted between them.
It’s not the King, the Thai king is a useless playboy. It’s the Thai military who’ve held power for a decade. The Military Junta wants to dissolve their rival and are just trying to use the King as the excuse.
Wreck of a congress that he helped create. The uselessness of our legislative branch is mostly due to Republican maliciousness. He broke the toy and now he’s mad it’s broken so he’s going home.
I picked this up in a airport years ago. I agree it’s probably not the best anthropology book (not that I’ve read a bunch of anthropology books). But it is a very easy book to understand and an easy read which many science books arguably are not. I think that alone makes this a valuable book because it easily delivers the concept of past environmental influence on the evolution of groups. It may not be perfect but it’s readable for us normal non-sciency people and that gives us a fighting chance to ask ourselves some important questions about how we see the world.
I use to bring these on hikes and field exercises. It does have a lot of sodium but if you want something cheap, light weight, and on the calorie heavy side dry Ramen is great!
So the issue isn’t the unrealistic and detrimental social pressures put on women surrounding clothing and appearance. The issue is that those goddammit women are all falling for it! If they just acted more like a man who has far less social fall out for failing to meet expectations then double standards would just disappear…
Originally the VP was whoever got the second most votes. Then the 13th Ammendment happened. Now in most states (all states) the President and VP run as a pair but the Electoral Delegates vote for them separately.
Can the delegates vote for one and not the other? Depends. Traditionally you cast your delegate vote according to the results so you’d vote along “ticket” lines. In some states delegates ( who are often put forward by the parties) are bound to vote according to the election results. In some states they are not. Traditionally they do but as we saw last US election we aren’t even pretending to be doing sane things anymore.
You may want to look into a sleep study (assuming you can afford it or are not American). There are some sleep problems that can cause you to not feel rested even with a ton of sleep.
But seriously, everyone thinks they have the worst roads. I’ve lived in more than a few states (and visited even more) and Pennsylvania has the worst roads I’ve ever seen. No other state I’ve seen has been even close. WTF PA?
Visited all those states (and loved in NY), I agree that they’re roads aren’t good. PA has all those problems sometimes on the same roads. Try driving somewhere outside of Philly. There are “main” roads it’s faster to walk
Video games are definitely a different strokes, different folks type thing. I “play through” (never done the main quest) of vanilla skyrim ever few years. I wouldn’t even know how to download a mod for it and I still love it all these years later.
Angry orchard is definitely an alcoholic drink…drunk driving at 90 with while showing off your gun…this photo just needs a hamburger to be peak America.
I straightened out the “justice” misunderstanding before you came at me sideways about how you don’t like to shit? I don’t think 25 to life was unjust in his case and I didn’t think it was so you can pack up your “it’s easy to understand” toxicity and miss me with it. I was replying to someone who is likely not from the US or doesn’t understand our sentencing.
I lashed out? You started the sarcastic toxic trolling behavior with a comment that was unrelated to the conversation I was having with someone else, then continued it in a follow on comment when I tried to straighten out the misunderstanding…in what world did you not start the issue here? It’s not gatekeepers lemmy to ask you to take your toxic trolling behavior elsewhere.
If you’re a troll I do hope you go back to Facebook. If you somehow genuinely don’t think you’re a troll then I hope you develop the ability use basic insight to reflect on how you come off socially.
