Dark mode all the way. When indoors I keep my brightness very low, like at 15-20%. How some people can use white mode and 75-100% brightness is beyond me.

Went to New York city to go see Ozzy in concert (from Canada). My first time in the US. It was me and 3 other male friends, all in our mid/late 20's. On our way back home we got pulled over by a state trooper because my friend was speeding.

The state trooper walks up to the window and says he smells marijuana. Which was total bullshit because this was a new car and we aren't dumb enough to bring that shit with us. He proceeds to make us all stand in the cold for 45 minutes while he goes through the entire contents of the car and finds nothing. They give us a warning then leave with all our shit just laying around.

This was like a month before they legalised weed in Canada so we figured that was why they did it. The entire time I was just scared they would plant something. I've been conditioned to not trust cops due to all the shit I've seen online. This experience just made it worse. And we were just a bunch of white guys, can't even begin to imagine what people of color have to deal with when it comes to cops in the US.

I spend on average an hour cooking then another hour doing dishes/clean-up almost every night of the week. Taking 15-20 minutes twice in a day then only having to clean basically a pan and bowl is definitely too lazy to cook for me.

This is my favorite too lazy to cook meal. I've eaten this regularly for like 20 years. I make it every few weeks. Great with ham or sausage and a bunch of sriracha.

I make a no knead pizza which is incredibly easy. It takes me about 15-20 minutes to prepare the dough in the morning. Just mix it in a bowl, cover it and let proof all day.

About an hour before you plan to eat, flatten the dough onto a baking sheet and let proof again. Once you're ready to eat, just put sauce and toppings of your choice, cook at the highest heat setting on your oven. Should be ready in about 10-15 min.

Best pizza I've ever had. Doesn't compare to the local pizza shops. A lot less greasy also.

Love watching Wang Gang make fried rice, he's like a wizard. Wish I had the setup to do what he does. I want me some of that Wok Hei.

I agree that cheddar is not bland garbage. I was just trying to make a point of how vastly different the flavors between the two were. I've had 4 year aged cheddar and it is fantastic. I guess I was mostly comparing the authentic high quality cheeses to low end mass produced crap. Not really a Parmigiano vs cheddar thing I guess. I'm sorry if I gave that impression.

Also, that's a great idea. I have some homemade gnocchi in my freezer, I should try it with Parmigiano and pecorino.

They can be used to replace, I just put less. Not sure why you would say that. You don't use a soft cheese when you make authentic Carbonara.

What are you even saying. They are both cheese. Take macaroni and cheese for example. Most boxed macaroni and cheese uses cheddar and so do many people when they make it themselves.

But I've made it with a combination of Parmigiano and pecorino romano and it was fantastic. Much better than when I made it with cheddar. Same thing with scalloped potatoes, made them with cheddar many times but they were never as good as when I made them with the Italian cheese.

Not sure what point you are trying to prove?

I'm sure that's true. I've never had the imitation stuff so I don't know how they compare. I've just been blown away by how good they are that it justifies the price for me. They are very strong cheeses so you don't need to use much. I vacuum seal them after every use so they last forever.

On a semi-related note, Guanciale is ridiculously expensive and that I can't justify buying no matter how much I want to make authentic Carbonara.

I understand that those are completely different but most people don't buy authentic Parmigiano, pecorino romano or grana padano(I need to try this one). They use the regular plain cheese you buy in the big box stores. So to the average person putting a micro chip in a cheese wheel (which I read wasn't even true) is an absurd notion. But I was pointing out that the regular cheddar/mozzarella the average person buys is bland garbage compared to these cheeses. I think people should try them and they will realize why they care so much about its authenticity.

It has so much more flavor! I've cooked dishes that I've made dozens of times and the only thing I changed was the cheese used. Those dishes tasted better every single time. It's hard to describe because I also thought that it wouldn't make much of a difference. But when I tried it, I was blown away.

I'll never be able to explain it through a comment. I would recommend that everyone at least try it. You can usually find a small wedge of it at some grocery stores, shouldn't be too expensive. Then make a dish that you've made many times but use those cheeses instead. You will see the difference right away.

If you've ever actually cooked with authentic parmigiano reggiano you would understand why. It's absolutely fantastic stuff.

I used to cook with just whatever old cheddar was on sale at the big box stores. Then my father bought me a couple wedges of authentic parmesan and pecorino romano for my birthday. I will never go back. It's not even comparable. I always have them on hand now.

You're assuming that your reality is the same for everyone.

Oh, my point wasn't that a cast iron pan is as non-stick as Teflon. I was simply talking about cast iron upkeep. I have a non stick pan and it's much better for certain things for sure. But I wash it by hand instead of putting it in the dishwasher.

I cook for a family of four every day and taking 3 minutes to clean my cast iron pan is the least time consuming part of it. You're being dramatic.

I have a cast iron pan that I've used for almost 10 years. I seasoned it when I got it. To clean it, I scrub it with steel wool, dry it off then rub a coat of oil on it. It still looks and works perfectly. Cast iron is extremely easy to clean and upkeep.

Maybe I'm being naive but I don't really need or want an update. I've tried many other Lemmy apps and nothing compares to Sync. I'm perfectly happy with it as is.

I experienced pretty much the same thing as you. Had to do the clear cache+update a few times. But it's been good for a few weeks as you said. I've also noticed that it can take 5-10 seconds for the video page to load. But not the biggest deal, at least I don't see fucking ads.
