Do you carry a literal pager? We use the PagerDuty app.
kunwon1 · 3 months ago
It may interest you to know that pagers are still a thing, Motorola still makes them, and I know that one major use case is volunteer fire departments

I used to work on Motorola Minitor 5 pagers. Looks like they recently released their newest model, the Minitor 7

I wonder if pagers are still used in hospitals? I imagine so

Looks like the link has been updated to remove references to Pro plans. Unfortunate

edit: they changed it back, and it's actually working now :D

Your (?) website is so resource-demanding it's insane. I'm struggling to run it at any decent framerate on an i5-7500T. Makes the entire browser just crumble

Have you tried Bango brand kecap manis? I recommend it. It is less sweet and has stronger flavour.
kunwon1 · 10 months ago
I haven't. Thanks for the recommendation, I'll try it out

Fermentation is such wonderful technology. It both preserves and makes things more delicious.

I got into making hot sauces recently. I didn't really care for any of the results until I started fermenting them. Chop up ingredients, add brine, put everything in a jar with a fermentation lid that allows gas to escape. Then let it sit on the counter for a week or two. blend and maybe add a bit of vinegar. That's the basic process, and in my humble opinion, it's the absolute best way to make hot sauce

(YMMV, do your own research, there are obviously risks to letting food sit out at room temperature for two weeks)

This is a good question. I would offer that there are at least two major types of soy sauce: light and dark. They are used in a variety of ways in Northeast Asian cooking (Mainland China, Koreas, Japan, Taiwan, Hongkong, Macao). For example, when you steam a fish (southern Chinese/Canto style), you use a combination of light and dark soy sauces. (I have no idea why, but this is a traditional recipe taught to me years ago.) Soy sauce has two primary "taste" components (previously I discussed visual components): (a) the fermented soy beans and (b) the umami (MSG/monosodium glutamate). Even if you feel like (a) is overwhelmed by your cooking, it is still enhanced by (b) which, for most people, makes any savory food taste more appealing.

For me, nothing beats raw fish (sashimi or sushi) as a taste test for a soy sauce, but I frequently use a mixture with Japanese ponzu... so ignore any expertise that I have on the matter! I am sure that each culinary region in Northeast Asia will have a different answer. You could probably interview 100 chefs from the region and get 25 different answers.

Lastly, there is a third type of soy sauce used in Southeast Asia called sweet soy sauce, or kecap manis in Bahasa Melayu/Indonesia.

Kecap manis is delicious, I get the ABC brand. It's as thick as molasses. Wonderful drizzled over some chicken rice

Drop your favourite Hackman movies!

Heres mine:

--= The Conversation (1979) =--

"Schizo surveillance guy gets a contract that starts to derail things" is the basic premise, but there is more going on - "it has layers".

Francis Ford Coppola filmed this in between Godfather I & II. I believe it is less famous only because the target audience is smaller, not due to its quality.

The editing is perfect, the pacing just right and the acting mostly top notch. Gene Hackman absolutely nails it.

I found the whole thing to be mesmerising and gripping until the very end. Underrated masterpiece.

May he rest in peace.

Heist (2001) - Directed by David Mamet

It's not very well known or particularly well reviewed. It just clicked with me, I've watched it probably a dozen times. It's about a jewel heist and the drama surrounding it

Looks like Perplexity includes sponsored results at the bottom of your searches, and my UBO isn't blocking them. They seem to be fairly unobtrusive, though, and they are labeled as such. For now, at least.

Not "The Onion". The original capitalization is "the Onion Problem", i.e. the problem of dicing onions into even pieces.

I was confused, especially considering this [1] is still very recent
