Serious. I’m tired of living off burger joint goyslop and making junk meals from stale bread or just slides of cheese all day. I want good nourishing food that tastes good so I actually enjoy eating. But where do I start? I mean, cooking is just memorizing recipes right? How do I learn how to cook? What are some cool recipes?
The first topic I think that is very important when it comes to food is saftey. If you have no saftey when it comes to food you could potentially poison yourself and others.
When purchasing and storing food always place ready to eat foods at the very top, fish, beef, and chicken in this order.
The reason is that chicken can contain salmonella that can only be killed at higher temperatures than is needed compared to cooking fish or beef. Salmonella is also more dangerous than the bacteria that fish or beef contain.
Storing or placing food in random order won't kill you, but is still not recommended.
Now for cooking meat.
The minimum temperatures needed to cook meats typically range from around 135 degrees farenheit to 165 degrees farenheit.
I can't remember the exact numbers of my head, but most meats will have the minimum required temperature for cooking.
Of course cooking anything at 350 degrees farenheit is guranteed to kill most bacteria.
Now this should be common sense, but since I have seen multiple people do this I will say it anyways.
When you grab raw meat and place it on a grill or pan be sure to wash your hands afterwards! Not doing this will transfer the harmful bacteria onto other surfaces or food and can poison you.
With very basic saftey disscussed, next topic ingredients and recipes.
I don't really have recipes and just mostly stick to basics.
Bagel, sausage, egg, cheese combination.
Bread, chicken, lettuce, tomato, honey mustard combination.
Beef, corn, potatos, tomato, onion combination.
But there are more original people who discussed this topic before:

One last thing I should mention is to read ingredients for some products.
A lot of companies have been using High Fructose Corn Syrup as a replacement ingredient for many products. This ingredient is not healthy and in my opinion ruins the taste.
So for ketchup I find it better to use Tomato Concentrate than High Fructose Corn Syrup.
If you want to learn how to cook you need to focus on nailing the basic skills like boiling water, using utensils and kitchenware and how to clean up after yourself and sanitize stuff.
>>2 advice is pretty good. But aside from sanitation and basic food prep, you need to start off with basic skills everybody should know. Like how to use an oven or a frying pan, how to bake, steam, roast and boil. Luckily, you can find videos for that online pretty easy.
You should start out learning basic dishes made with simple ingredients. Learn how to make soups, they're simple, nutritious, cheap and once you know the basic formula you can turn pretty much anything into a soup. Then learn how to cook rice or pasta and prepare different dishes, again very cheap, easy and nourishing.

Well how bad are we talking, OP? Like can you make anything at all or are you starting from scratch?
How do i draw refraction correctly, analogously?
it's very complex subject i guess from junior high math perspective so perhaps there is more adept structure to this
i know otaku is someone who likes the japanese culture, but at the same time, i am just not so sure about the exact definition/ criteria of being called an otaku. just how obsessed you have to be to be called an otaku?
"Otaku" = life failure
>>1
It's become a sub part of your whole life. I would say it's more of a lifestyle that prolongs just your adolescence and well into your adulthood. Something you're not going to grow out of.
Otaku = Nerd
Weaboo = Anyone who is obsessed with the Japanese culture to the point where they become annoying as heck!
I've never gotten this, I figure it must be one of those forced memes that have stuck around in society for decades. Normal people DO NOT study! If you study, you're a weirdo!
Otaku doesn't have to pertain to anime, although it's the most comon. In japan there are many types of otaku, they differentiate between anime otaku, millitary otaku, sports otaku etc. Otaku just means obsessive.
Weaboo means really into (a caricature of) all japanese culture, not just anime and manga. Generally people who wish they were japanese and may put on an air of knowing a lot about japanese culture, but in reality only know about the basic idea of what japan is like, not what it's actually like.
in latam, for example, ppl were used to call otaku to people who watch anime even if was just 1, but that changed due the massive anime culture in the whole world. So, yes, in the american context you can be called otaku for wacthing anime, in a obssesed way. Although, emos sometimes are called otakus too
AFAIK Otaku was a nickname obessive Japanese fans of anime, manga and sci fi would use for each other at comiket. A lot of these cats used the internet and that's how it spread. It became a word for internet dwelling weirdos with obsessive fixations including stuff outside anime manga. Amerikan nerd culture seems a bit different. Its socially acceptable and even normal to be one nowadays.
I wonder if Japanese have the same issue with nerd? Are there Japanese out there asking if they are really a true nerd if they like Russian animation? Do they reject anime for the Cartoon Network and act all superior?

You can sell local to people you know, unlikely get caught but make sure to tell friend to never write about it in any messaging app, never ever even to their friends. Only say face to face, and if stranger in gym walk up to them asking to buy, maybe police, don't tell anything or they can get arrested for illegal use and you for manufacture and sale if they get evidence... Your friend and his friend and his friend, they are idiot. Probably one will be stupid and get you caught one day, who know. I don't care I am bored maybe prison for few years is unique experience...
Online locally? very easy with anonymous letterboxes if can manage to get strangers to trust you, but this is very illegal so I don't recommend for inexperienced hobby criminals. Digital mistake in advertising, communication, payment, it make them find you instant... If not that then physical problems... Fingerprint... DNA... Cameras... Long term surveillance over boxes, one day you may even be caught while they look for another criminal by bad luck. One must think very outside box to lay low and not be too easy to catch. If you low priority you can get caught by being sloppy with routine. If you are high priority, they will probably get you eventually no matter how smart you are. Time is on their side. One time I saw police sitting in a car far away looking with binoculars. I don't think looking for me, but maybe...
how to figre out, successful sales of a product
or maybe, producing according to the best selling
like digital prints, NFT, design things.
i only know you need to follow trend, but when it comes to the market, there seems to be a certain guide to get the bigger digits
what is it?
I have some clue but not completely sure, nor is it a solid one
let me guess, you're six figures draw guy.

Path of mediocrity
I just started to look at this site and decided this place might be a good place to ask a serious question with anonymity. I have a small problem. I'm 23 and my two main interests, video games and anime/manga, are started to become boring to me. After so much exposure, more than enough for a lifetime even, I think I should truly move on and look for something new.
I talked with some of my friends and a couple ideas sparked my interest. Here's a short list of ideas I have that I've liked so far:
Target shooting w/rifles
Archery
Beer brewing
Boxing
I've thrown out hobbies like photography and music(anything related) due to general apathy. I'd like something that would keep me somewhat active (why archery and boxing are there), but would like something that can be truly affected by changes that I can make (why rifles and beer brewing are there). I tend to like the idea of messing around with something to make it better, which is why I liked playing some cRPGs and some racing games with tuning. I like beer and wine, but I'm not exactly sure I'd want to suffer through the experimentation of making my own. Boxing sounds fun, but would be tough to find space for the stand and bag. Rifle shooting sounds like the best option, but I don't have the money for what I want yet (I liked the feel of the Ruger Mini-14 which is ~$600).
Walk a lot.
Masturbate
If you're looking for board games, I recommend chess:
I got into it a couple of months ago and am really enjoying it.
olympic masterbation
wonder if op ever found his new hobby?
perhaps he became a beer swilling target archer/boxer
>>94
lol wondering the same. maybe when he gets sick of his new hobby he'll revisit this thread for another suggestion.
HEMA (historical european martial arts).
It's just every kind of swordfighting grouped into one.
Longswords, rapiers, sabres, arming swords and more of all styles and eras. Try to find a local club. A (training) sword is $200 and the safety equipment is a few hundred, but you only need that once you move onto sparring.
Hey OP. Definitely try archery! It's a very fun hobby. All you need is a target and now.
For a target, you can buy something like old hay bales and old rug (so the arrows don't go through and kill anyone) set against a fence or wall. But ideally, you can order a target off of Amazon or somewhere.
For a bow, you determine what kind you want. Modern? Traditional? Recurve? Then you find the size and what is called the weight. Search online for more info on this. I personally use traditional Korean horse bows, one from Kaya: https://horsebowshop.com/collections/kaya-korean-traditional-bows
It's hard at first and takes a while to learn how to properly shoot. You'll miss a lot. But in time you'll become the best archer in the land. You can also join an archery club at some point where you'll have access to a lot of targets to use and can get pro tips for shooting. Have fun if you decide to try it!
I ate the Cinnabon Cheesecake at Cheesecake Factory, and it was definitely worth the thumbprint of shit that was in my underwear by the time I got home. The Fried Mac and Cheese was good too, but not enough to justify the pain on their own. I do have to say that it tasted more like regular cake than cheesecake, but cake tastes good, so there are no worries.

i have a good stomach so i dont get tummy sick and no food is worth getting a tummy ache for however if i had to get sick o one food i would go with ice cream. chocolate strawberry coconut mango sherbert lemon etc.
Everything gives me a stomachache. I have an ulcer disease
I don't get stomach aches.. my gut has over 5 kilos of bacteria.
Not a particular food, but if I eat too quickly my stomach starts to hurt
Once I went to Białystok and drank a whole bottle of buza (fermented bread drink, think kvass but sweet). I was not prepared for the gigafarts, but it was very tasty.
Heroin; It's worth it while you're doing it, but after when the stomach pain sets in, not so much...

Hello. I apologise if this is misplaced, my first time on this forum. I like birdwatching and I was wondering if there were any sites that have tips for birdwatching and pictures. Thank you
I'm sure there is some info on various birds on wikipedia, and various channels about birds on youtube, plus many books on this subject. Or do you want something more specific?
I think birdwatching forum refers to forums that are very very slow, is this the joke you are going for?
Through surface searches I find a few good channels, but I ask here to see if there’s any more obscure ones people would recommend. Or just good ones in general,I didn’t mean for the birdwatching forum joke, but that is kind of funny haha.
Searching for the underground birdwatching tips, if that is a thing that exists
I got my birdwatching badge at scouts, one thing I learned is that those guys can fly, so you've got to keep an eye on the sky as well on the ground and in the trees
My favorite birdwatching site is my windows 2022 in-home edition

Brews I've attempted so far:
1. Apple juice + orange juice + water + sugar + bread yeast
> About 3 weeks in and it's ready to sample.
> The apple notes give a pleasant taste. Without a hydrometer, I estimate this brew to be ~10%. It would be very drinkable, but fermented orange juice (at this stage) adds an unmistakable vomit flavor to the brew. 6/10. It's getting me drunk on the cheap and tastes better than Steel Reserve.
2. Sticky rice + "rice wine starter"
> Those Orientals have a special ball you can acquire with the enzymes to convert rice starches to sugars, which yeast can readily turn to alcohol. Put warm (not HOT) cooked sticky rice in a jar, sprinkling in the magic powder, and seal the container; after enough time, delicious liquids will magically arise. No bubbles after about 2 weeks time. After extracting the liquid and refrigerating, it naturally separated into 2 layers. 8/10. The clear liquid on top was the superior beverage but both were tolerable with good flavor.
I freezejacked >>2 drink #1 and mmm. That hits nice.
Latest big batch of apple cider (roughly 8 liters) turned out well. After it was essentially done bubbling and the balloons deflated, they went in the fridge. Roughly 16% each. Adding a bit of cinnamon, cloves, black pepper, and artificial sweetener and additional time in the fridge really helped with flavor. Used EC-1118 yeast.
2L of grape juice with no added sugars and bread yeast turned out fine, fermented to 6%. Fridge jacked it to boost it up to 14% or more. A lot better. Flavor more intense. The grape juice is a mix of red and white grape juice, which makes it pretty interesting.
My attempt to mix vanilla syrup with water didn't turn out so well. Maybe fermented to 4% before it refused to ferment any more.
1KG of sticky rice produced ~1.5L or so of rice wine. It's starting to separate in the fridge between cloudy and clear rice wine. Historically, clear rice wine was for nobles and the cloudy stuff was for peasants, or so the story goes. Definitely more labor intensive

Results of my latest brandy distillation (from 20 liters of apple juice, 10%):
jar 1 - 68%
jar 2 - 65%
jar 3 - 62%
jar 4 - 60%
jar 5 - 54%
jar 6 - 48%
jar 7 - not tested
The jars near the beginning and end are not completely full. I was regularly tasting the stuff coming out to know when to separate heads, hearts, and tails. After they evaporate more and I dilute and mix cuts, I predict getting a yield a bit over 3 liters. Unused heads/tails will be recycled into future runs.
