@OrigamiRobot Are you not working today? I'm seeing a distinct lack of AUTOCAD.

@Yuki Just not working in AutoCAD today.

Q: Why do bitizens get blown out of airlock?

I wonder if this happens accidentally or because of something. I ask about this because one day I had to change time on my phone (back in time), and then I opened TDS without remembering about it. Everything was very strange, I regret not taking screenshots. All the time meters were sticking out,...

@Sterno New lifehack. How to stop typing in all caps: Instead of doing work with AutoCAD, read more lifehacks.

ElfSlice

@Lazers I don't understand this question.

Anybody want to try and clean it up?

OrigamiRobot

What should I eat for supper tonight?

@OrigamiRobot Food.

@ElfSlice It's clear to me - he changed the time, things got screwed, he changed the time back, one of his guys got blown out of the airlock, he is curious as to why (and I suspect assuming it has something to do with his changing the time on his device and changing it back)

Yuki

@OrigamiRobot I am having Kraft Dinner and these frozen chicken/ham/cheese things

OrigamiRobot

@Arperum Input discarded: Not specific enough

@Yuki I do like eggs...

Sterno

@ElfSlice Human misery.

user15026

7:08 PM

@OrigamiRobot Poached eggs! (They are my latest favourite thing)

user15026

@Sterno not all of us can survive on that ;)

OrigamiRobot

@AshleyNunn Too much work.

Arperum

@Sterno Isn't that some kind of a drink?

OrigamiRobot

I assume.

I've never had poached eggs.

Yuki

@OrigamiRobot Poaching eggs is just not hardboiling them all the way.

Essentially. You also remove the shells.

OrigamiRobot

7:09 PM

@Yuki Without the shell or sommat

Yuki

But that's essentially the concept.

Poached eggs are delicious, especially in combination with some good soup noodles.

OrigamiRobot

So I have to have some tool to contain the eggs. Too much work.

user15026

@OrigamiRobot Pot+water+vinegar+salt - bring to low boil, crack eggs into a bowl, gently drop into the water, wait three minutes, scoop out with a spoon. Basically, follow this.

user15026

@OrigamiRobot do you not have a pot?

Ben Brocka

@Sterno delicious

OrigamiRobot

7:10 PM

> Three minutes have gone by; grab a slotted spoon and, very gently, extract the egg from the water.

I don't have a slotted spoon.

I finished BF4 first mission in Gold, and was supposed to receive the SVD-12. However, on next mission, in weapons crate, it's still not available? What am I doing wrong?

Yuki

> As for the salt, eh, just a big fuggin' pinch of the shit. You're just gonna die someday anyway.

OrigamiRobot

I might as well just hardboil them. It's way easier.

@AshleyNunn I also don't have salt.

Ben Brocka

I just follow this handy guide

@OrigamiRobot ....no salt? o.O

OrigamiRobot

I don't use salt.

@AshleyNunn Is there a giggling baby ad that isn't creepy as f--k?

user15026

@Yuki you have a valid point my friend

OrigamiRobot

That's pretty much it. No salt needed.

Jason Berkan

@OrigamiRobot You don't salt the noodles? Heresy!

user15026

@JasonBerkan this.

OrigamiRobot

7:14 PM

@JasonBerkan I just use salted butter.

Jason Berkan

@OrigamiRobot Not the same, I mean the orange sauce has salt in it as well, but you need salted water for noodles.

OrigamiRobot

That's dumb.

I have never put salt in the water when boiling anything.

user15026

But it makes noodles better.

OrigamiRobot

That's dumb.

Oh, I forgot ramen on that list.

Yuki

@AshleyNunn Honestly, it only makes noodles better if you suck at managing heat when cooking noodles.

user15026

7:17 PM

@Yuki which, well, I do, because my stove is ancient and has strange ideas about staying one temperature and stuff.....

Yuki

The real reason why they tell you to add salt to water when making noodles is that it raises the boiling point ever so slightly.

OrigamiRobot

If @IanPugsley hadn't broken my sandwich press, I'd make pizza pockets.

Mad Scientist

@Yuki Pretty sure that's a myth, that effect would be tiny

Yuki

@MadScientist Depends on the amount of water and amount of salt.

OrigamiRobot

Wait, I lied. I do have salt for beef jerky.

I should just hire @AshleyNunn to make cupcakes and such for me.

Yuki

None of this is helping me decide what to eat for supper.

Sterno

@MichaelMior of course it does matter; salt is mandatory! Using a sauce could help but the taste is different and the final result in a trained mouth is just an insipid pasta with a salty sauce. — systempuntoout Sep 12 '12 at 18:20

oops

No one should ever say "a trained mouth" without irony.

Q: What is it that makes bacon so delicious?

I am aware of many of things that bacon has going for it. It is high in fat, high in salt, and smoked. But taking a potato, frying it, covering it in salt, and sprinkling on liquid smoke, does not taste like bacon. (Yes I've tried. I try liquid smoke on everything.) So what is it that yields th...

Q: How do I Mash Potatoes?

Whenever I try to make mashed potatoes, I end up with an excruciatingly sore forehead and a huge mess. And that stuff takes FOREVER to get out of your hair. What am I doing wrong?

OrigamiRobot

@Yuki It just gives things a smokey taste.

Yuki

@OrigamiRobot It also sounds not good for your health.

OrigamiRobot

I use it in my beef jerky, but I'm not sure it makes any difference.

Mechanical Loon

@ElfSlice Wat.

OrigamiRobot

7:33 PM

It is literally liquid smoke.

ElfSlice

@MechanicalLoon What wat.

FEichinger

@OrigamiRobot This is, by definition, not possible.

Eon Rusted du Plessis

@ElfSlice

I log in and things get weird

well done

ElfSlice

=[

Yuki

@FEichinger What they do is pass the smoke through a condenser and then dissolve it in a liquid.

SaintWacko

7:35 PM

@FEichinger nonsense

OrigamiRobot

> Liquid smoke is a substance produced from smoke passed through a tube from a combustion chamber filled with select wood chips to a condenser. In the condenser, the smoke cools and forms a liquid, aided by the addition of water. Liquid smoke is used for both food preservation and flavoring.

It is literally smoke turned into a liquid.

SaintWacko

smoke is just tiny particles

Sterno

Apparently I've been wasting my time cooking bacon like a chump.

A: Is it safe to eat smoked bacon without grilling?

In such a case, for any food item, ask yourself a question: In a 19th century household, would it have been kept in the cellar, or eaten immediately? For bacon, it is common knowledge (or at least I think everybody knows it) that it was kept in a cellar for long time. So this is definitely not ...

SaintWacko

suspend the tiny particles in a liquid, and you have liquid smoke!

Kevin van der Velden

@OrigamiRobot no, it is liquidised smoke, not a gas that is a liquid

Sterno

7:35 PM

@ElfSlice Deleted?

ElfSlice

@Sterno Yeah, long time ago.

Sterno

Oh, you were trolling Seasoned Advice.

FEichinger

@SaintWacko Nope. Nope nope nope. Nope. Not at all.

ElfSlice

For obvious resaons.

That's one of my two ever troll posts across all of SE

SaintWacko

> What’s in smoke from a wildfire?
Smoke is made up small particles, gases and
water vapor. Water vapor makes up the majority of
smoke. The remainder includes carbon monoxide,
carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide, irritant volatile
organic compounds, air toxics and very small
particles.

ElfSlice

7:37 PM

Although it used to be called 'how do you beat up a bike'

FEichinger

@SaintWacko You do not, however, get "liquid smoke". Smoke is, by definition, not liquid.

Jason Berkan

@FEichinger Bah. I drink liquid ice all the time.

SaintWacko

@FEichinger Well, what would you call condensed smoke?

OrigamiRobot

Water is liquid ice.

ElfSlice

@OrigamiRobot Water is water.

OrigamiRobot

7:38 PM

Stupid @JasonBerkan

Yuki

@SaintWacko "Condensed smoke"?

Jason Berkan

@OrigamiRobot :)

SaintWacko

@Yuki So we should call condensed water vapour "condensed water vapour"?

Yuki

@SaintWacko Well, that's what you're calling it right now.

I always find "what should we call X" questions funny, mostly because you just called it something.

@MechanicalLoon It's not wrong here, though.

Kevin van der Velden

@MechanicalLoon I thought that was how it worked? You visit england and get the extra-u-disease?

@KevinvanderVelden Yeah, France is famous for being ridiculously tourist-unfriendly.

@OrigamiRobot Only the french people do that.

Jason Berkan

@KevinvanderVelden They expect you to speak German when you visit France? Quelle surprise!

ElfSlice

I don't do that.

Kevin van der Velden

@OrigamiRobot only in dutch, where that is the correct way to pronounce it :)

And France is not tourist-unfriendly. You can easily speak English in all the tourist locations.
