The SPAM can had a pull tab. I was able to pull it with leverage and just the one hand.

Ah. All my 5 pressure cookers are stove top. I don’t trust appliance based ones to live longer than a year or two because the heat destroys the electronics in them. A stove top one is a BIFL item.

Can you provide the timing and water rice ratio? A pressure canner doesn’t release as much steam so I’m thinking less water? But also it only takes about 15 minutes of zero stress in a pot but if you get distracted with a pressure canner on such a small amount of time it’s going to burn.

Sir this is a Lemmy’s. Not a reddit.

I can’t stand auto can openers. They take up space and break.
I have a very ergonomic OXO manual that is easy to do with just one hand.

But I did ask my wife “why didn’t we buy cans with pull tags!” Her “because we buy whatever is cheap.”

I can’t afford the nails right now but I could take one of my existing unsold boards, build the wals out of scrap and have the whole thing done in under 12 hours if I could.

I tossed the rice cooker 16 years ago. Never as reliable as a pot and took up space.

We were also in a time crunch because we had to eat and drop a kitten off for transport to their new rescue home.

Ah, right comment but I didn’t see the context of your reply so I thought you meant the foods.

I’d have to buy the neils either way. Brass is food safe and more antimicrobial than stainless. And would look better with the wood I would use instead of plastic. Wood is also naturally antimicrobial. A small amount of Titebond III and the join would be water proof.

Instant potatoes mixed with corn, some chicken nuggets and some hot sauce is a guilty pleasure.

I’m hoping this does not become a long-term issue.

I could make one of those. Wondering if I should go with stainless steel or brass?

It’s fully doped up on prednisone, antibiotics and ibuprofen so that it can get a job.

I’d definitely eat that

Easy meal. You can even do bagged hash browns. Just don’t think about shredding cheese and trying to roll it into a breakfast burrito.

Ah. I can hear it now.

Personal experience?

I’m doing my part. In Lesser Carolina independents can vote for either party during the primary. I consistently vote in the Republican primary to vote primary out Lindsey Graham.

Zero results so far.

From my post elsewhere on this topic:

Yet another in my ongoing series of headlines about how messed up Microsoft and tech in general is by using just Notepad as an example.

Why Notepad? Because it was supposed to be the most basic built in text editor for the Windows environment. They thing that would always work. The thing that would do exactly what it was supposed to no matter what.

They have messed it up so bad that it’s now an attack vector.

It’s the prime example of how they keep taking things that work and make them worse.

I’m not arguing for trickle down. I’m using their own arguments against them.
