I gave this a shot since I do like and trust Mojeek, but unfortunately it doesn't appear to bring in any results when I use the search "site:bandcamp.com attribution non-commercial share alike" (not in quotes).
Hi all,
I've been in a weird spot the last little bit. I recently bought an air-fryer at the thrift shop for a decently cheap price. The thing works like a charm, and I'm excited to start using it on the regular to make recipes like falafel and beet and potato chips.
The issue I'm currently having is just cleaning the damn thing. Clearly it had a lot of use from the previous owner, and I while I want to do the same myself, there's this tough to clean spot on the base that I can't figure out how to clean.
The model is a T-Fal Actifry 2-in-1, so rather than being the typical air fryer I've seen with the basket, this one has a rotating piece in the centre that can either be used to stir ingredients to keep them from sticking using a paddle, or have a rotating pan attached instead which keeps things in place.
The area in question I'm having trouble cleaning is in the base here, behind the plastic filter:
I've tried using an all-purpose cleaner, as well as a stronger cleaner that claimed to have degreasing properties (Vim Pureboost Power Shine), and neither of them have removed any of the mess. It was suggested by someone I try baking soda and vinegar, but I'm not even going to think about that, as I'm worried about things getting behind the slots there and frying the circuitry.
Thanks in advance.
Putting personal thoughts aside, Imma be blunt and say this seems kinda hyper-specific for a community.
Honestly depends, but if you want an all-around good instance on a misskey fork, try lethallava.land
That's where you're wrong! This is it!
Thanks a million, seems I misremembered the antagonist being a vampire, but just watching the trailers and seeing certain scenes, this is 100% it.
Thanks a bunch!
Hi all,
I'm currently wanting to make a few wiki pages for a community I host here on PieFed. Not trying to advertise the community, but for context, it's a community about BY-NC-SA licensed music, and I'm wanting to create a guide as to how to find new music with that license on certain platforms.
My trouble is this. I want to provide those viewing posts with the ability to find music with ease utilizing search engines when that's the best option to do so. However, I also don't want to have that search engine be Google if that's at all possible.
The main features I'm needing are to only fetch results from certain websites, and to specifically include or exclude specific phrases. For example, if I wanted to find BY-NC-SA power metal music on BandCamp, and exclude songs from the band Blind Desire for some random reason, I'd have the following search:
In this case, Google only fetches results from bandcamp.com, only with the BY-NC-SA license, and only with the words "power metal" in the page, while also removing results from Blind Desire.
Are there any privacy-friendly options that have similar search features? Being made aware of an alternative like this will definitely help me kick what little reliance I have left on Google.
Thanks in advance.
I have some stoneware plates that are from IKEA. My worries with using a plate were both the heat potentially cracking and/or breaking the plate, or the pot boiling over while the contents are hidden underneath unlike with a glass lid.
This has been a movie that has been on my mind that I can't seem to recall the name of. I've been trying to search certain details, and I'm unsure if my troubles are because of the search engines I'm using (I refuse to use Google), or if it's because it's genuinely that much of a pain to find this film.
From what I remember about the movie, a vampire man catches his eyes on a young woman. Since the film is set in the past, the vampire asks her father for permission to marry her, to which the father responds that he wants his daughter to marry a hard-working man who'd support her, and that the vampire's hands are the softest hands he's ever felt in his life.
The vampire is not pleased with this, and if I remember correctly, kills the father while he's alone. With the father out of the way, he and the woman marry, and move to a property atop a hill. While I can't recall much of what happens afterwards, I do remember the woman finds out about her husband being a vampire, and a lot of paranormal stuff happening with the house and it's property, such as the snow outside turning a blood red. By the end of the movie, the vampire dies, and that's the last I remember happening.
If anybody knows of this film, I'd love to know the name of it. Might give it another watch after all these years and see if it's any good or not.
Hey all,
Sorry to flood the community, just been working a lot about getting acquainted with the kitchen as of late, and learning more about navigating and utilizing it.
In three cookbooks, I've come across four recipes for soups I'm wishing to try. One for Borscht, one for Minestrone, one for a lentil soup, and one for Cauliflower soup. While I have the needed ingredients for these recipes, all of them call to cover the pot as the ingredients and/or soup are cooking.
My problem is that my pots don't have lids. When I first got the one pot, it came with one, but I can't recall what happened to it, all I know is that I no longer have it. I've brought the one pot to the thrift shop seeing if any of the loose lids there fit, but they were either way too large, just too small, or were perfectly sized, but refused to sit stable.
I was wondering how important it is to cover the pot as the soup and/or ingredients for the soup cook. Are there any consequences for not covering the pot, or does it simply take a longer time for cooking to finish?
Thanks as always in advance.
Honestly Misskey forks for all their flaws can absolutely take this opportunity to properly advertise themselves as viable alternatives. As someone who uses a Misskey fork, I love the UI in comparison to Mastodon, and the communities in Misskey forks are a lot less techie and a lot more laid back and goofy most of the time from my personal experience.
This is the recipe here, I came across it through the writer's YouTube channel: https://rainbowplantlife.com/10-ingredient-vegan-red-lentil-bolognese/
Hi all,
I recently came across a recipe that I wish to try for a lentil bolognese. I'm excited to try it as I've been trying to find a recipe I can use my red lentils with, but I'm curious about one thing both with this recipe, and recipes in general.
This recipe calls for the pan to be deglazed with red wine. This is something I've seen before in other recipes, though this recipe is the first of which I'm taking an interest in exploring. I'm personally fine with regular red wine, but my concern is that I have a friend who is incredibly cautious with alcohol, and says she'd refuse to eat things if they had alcoholic ingredients.
Putting aside my personal thoughts about that, I was curious if using a non-alcoholic wine would work just as well, or if the alcohol adds certain properties to the wine that make it function better as an ingredient or for deglazing. I'm mainly curious as I hope to invite friends over for dinner in the future, and want to make accommodations where possible, especially if it's as easy as simply buying a slightly different ingredient.
Thanks in advance!
Thanks for the tip, I'll go ahead and toss them then and take this as lesson learned.
With worms though? Wouldn't they see that as a potential pest attractor?
Someone else suggested going to a composting site, but freezing the waste wasn't mentioned. This seems like a step in the right direction, but still worried about it thawing during the trip and the wastewater leaking through the bag, causing a mess and disturbing other bus passengers with the smell.
Never had it happen with waste bags, but I've seen a few times where people (my family included growing up) would bring in bagged bottles and cans to return for bottle deposit, and the bus drivers were never pleased when the bags leaked.
My main concern with that option is transport. Since I don't drive and don't plan on getting a license, I'd likely have to take the bus, and I would hate to disturb others with the smell of rotten food and/or food scraps.
No roof garden or balcony, but we do have a small garden on the property outside by the corner where the road turns.
Might be a hard sell to the landlord honestly, but I can ask them if that's an option available regardless.
Unfortunately not, but we do have a community garden on the property grounds. I can try to find someone familiar with it and ask them.
Hey all,
I was making a smoothie for breakfast this morning, and was confused briefly as to where my frozen bananas went when I realized, whoops, I placed them in the fridge and not the freezer last I used them.
I've since put them back in the freezer, which I hope is foodsafe, but I was curious if I would be able to use them for banana bread if I ever make this mistake again. Based on smell and appearance, they seemed as though they'd be perfect for it, but figured I'd ask in case something differed based on water content of thawed frozen bananas, or if they lose certain qualities important for banana bread once frozen and thawed.
Thanks in advance!
Hey all,
In my recent post about popcorn kernels, I had a comment suggest that I could also just put the leftover kernels or stale popcorn to use for compost.
This has been something I've been thinking of for a while now. Guilty as charged, I've let good food spoil in my fridge while I've been figuring out what to do with it. While this has been getting better as I've been learning more vegan substitutions as I'm new to being vegan, as well as home cooking in general, I don't want to throw my food waste in with the garbage as I have been doing for eons now when situations arise where something spoils on me.
My issue is that, while I was taught how composting works in school, they only ever taught us how to do so if we lived in a detached home that had a backyard. I have always lived in apartment buildings, and currently am living on a second floor apartment unit. While my city does allow for people to separate food waste from other garbage and recycling, and even encourages it, my current building does not have a designated area for food waste.
What options are available to me when it comes to disposing of food waste so that in the end, my waste isn't quite "waste"? I should also likely add that I live in an area with a colder climate where winter (which is coming up soon here) often hits -30 C.
Thanks in advance!
What, you got something against retards?
I'm retarded and I've been looking this up beforehand. Being retarded doesn't make someone a dumbass. If you're going to see us as lesser-than, at least have the guts to say the full word.
I've been out protesting, there's been weekly ones here that I attend.
A lot of these people that were disenfranchised by the Democrats ended up voting for Cornel West or Jill Stein instead. I already know what people are going to say, something something wasted vote, but I'm really sick of that entire argument because all it does is delegitimize third parties and keeps this status quo of "lesser evil".
If this entire notion that you have to vote for one or two parties is going to keep going on as it is, then I'll gladly point to the senate election in Nebraska where an independent aligned with the Forward and Reform parties only lost to the Republican by about 6%. Do I agree with Osborn or the Forward or Reform parties, not fully, especially with how interesting a candidate Osborn was, but the fact that he gave such competition in a traditionally safe Republican riding shows that voting for other candidates is NOT wasting your vote.
Hey all,
Been wanting to reduce the amount of waste I generate, and one small way I was thinking of doing so was perhaps by reheating the unpopped popcorn kernels that appear in the bottom of my bowl after making a batch with my air popper.
Would this be safe to do, or is it recommended against? I'd love to reuse them if possible and ensure I have no unneeded waste there, but I also want to make sure I'm not making myself sick by eating something I shouldn't be.
Thanks in advance!
Alright, if you're so sold on making the voter out to be at fault, then be my guest. Tell someone grieving the death of their relative as a Democratic party member that "hey, we only allowed one of them to die, they'll have two of them die".
See if they're not insulted at that notion.
If the Democrats wanted to bring these people out, then perhaps they should've changed their stance when it comes to Israel.
Sorry, but voters are going to vote based off their values, and if they see nobody who reflects their values, then the onus is on the parties, not the voters.
If you're Arab-American, and you see that your country is facilitating the bombing of the country your parents were born and raised in, then you're not gonna vote for the party in power that's actively allowing that to occur.
Why don't you go ahead and tell the people in those shoes that they should go out and vote for the people who refuse to stop supporting a foreign government that's actively killing their family members? Go on, say it to their face that they should have supported the people who support the country that killed their cousin. Tell them that they should have chosen between the person that's killing their relatives, and the person who'll do it even more.
Okay, but which one is easier for diagrams?
I'd say use the left for diagrams, and the right for reference as to how things look on the inside.
You can make mayonnaise with relative ease at home using a blender or food processor. If you can figure out the name of the specific type of mayonnaise, it would likely be easier to make it from scratch than finding it ready-made at the store.
I'm making a few assumptions here ofc, but the main downside that comes to mind is how long it'd keep for, as you wouldn't have much if any preservatives in the homemade product, though can't say I'm experienced with that at all to properly comment.
Hey all,
My friends and I have an inside joke that involves cinderblocks that has been a few years old now. There's a house under renovations across the street from where I live, and I asked the people doing the renovations if I would be able to have a cinderblock I saw on the front lawn, to which they said I could! (for context, the house hasn't been sold yet and they were getting rid of them anyway.)
I am literally doing nothing with this cinderblock other than having it as a decorative piece in my apartment for the joke. I have put the cinderblock in my bathtub and sprayed off most of the dirt on the surface, but I was curious as to how I would clean it to get it looking more or less good as new.
Thanks in advance, I'm really excited over this stupid thing lol
Hi again y'all,
Sorry for flooding the community, but I'm currently been trying to find new recipes to work with, and came across one that called for fresh green beans. I have a bag of frozen ones, and am curious as to whether or not I can use the frozen ones I have as a substitute.
In general I was curious that if I were to substitute fresh produce with frozen, if there would be anything I'd need to keep in mind. Would the cooking time differ? Would I need to thaw the frozen produce prior? Is some produce unable to be substituted with frozen equivalents?
Thanks for help in advance.
Hey all,
I am currently working on shifting towards a vegan diet. I have recently purchased a number of cookbooks from the thrift shop, most of them older cookbooks not centred around any specific diet, some of them based on a vegetarian, and one single one about vegan baking.
My reason for getting older cookbooks and ones focused on vegetarianism rather than veganism despite me trying to go vegan is because I've also been challenging myself to purely purchase second-hand goods whenever possible. This, when paired with my tight budget, has unfortunately made most vegan cookbooks too expensive, as the thrift shop I most often frequent, sells their books at a dollar a piece.
The one vegan cookbook I have has some suggestions for ingredient substitutions. For sour cream, it suggests using either 1 part soy yogurt, 1 part soy cream, and a splash of lemon juice as one option, and finely pureed silken tofu as another option.
My three questions are the following:
-
Considering that this cookbook is focused specifically on vegan baking, will these sour cream substitutes work as such in general cooking, or purely where sour cream is used in baking?
-
For the soy yogurt-based substitute, would oat or almond-based equivalents also work, or are there certain qualities exclusive to soy alternatives that other plant alternatives don't have that makes them most suitable as a sour cream substitute?
3.When shopping, are products labelled as "creamer" the same as products labelled as "cream"? I was only able to find the former at the supermarket.
Thanks for any and all help in advance, and I apologize if this isn't the community best suited for a question such as this. I've been especially curious as I have an older blender-centric cookbook from 1961 that has some vegetarian soup recipes with the only thing keeping them from being vegan being the inclusion of sour cream as a thickening agent.
Hey all,
The other day I went to the thrift shop and while browsing, came across some pressure cookers that were being sold for cheap. I've heard of these things before, but this was my first time actually seeing them in person.
I did some research as to how they're used and what for, and I'm thinking I might as well purchase one. However, I know there is a risk of the thing exploding, especially seeing that they aren't new models sold from the store and all.
My main question is how I would go about preventing an explosion happening in my apartment if I were to use one. The two are stovetop ones rather than electric ones, and look more or less like this.
Thanks for any help in advance!
Hi all,
Recently got myself a popcorn maker from the thrift shop that unfortunately refused to work. Wanted to try and get it operating as it should again, but it seems the issue wasn't so much something being broken in the machine, but rather extremely cheap build quality.
Repairing the thing just didn't seem worth it, so I disassembled it and am recycling the individual parts. However, I am thinking about making a toolbox so that I can learn some repairs and all, and am hoping to save the screws that I've salvaged from the machine.
My question is this. How does one sort and categorize the screws they keep? Are there codes the screws have, or does it come down to personally measuring and determining the length and type of screwdriver needed for them? Currently just keeping them in a sandwich bag for the time being.
Thanks for any help in advance.

Hi all!
While I'm unsure how new a community has to be to qualify for posting here, I'm hoping to shamelessly advertise a community I made on Feddit.Online called NC-SA Bops.
NC-SA Bops was made because of my personal values, and a desire to follow those values as closely and regularly as possible. In my eyes, the way the copyright system works is flawed, restricting creativity of artists in building off of existing works, as well as being heavily commercialized, potentially preventing musicians from creating music that's uniquely theirs in favour of creating music that'd be seen as more profitable.
In my explorations of music licensing, I found there to be limited options outside of the Creative Commons. I immediately distanced myself from anything licensed ND (Non-derivative) as I felt that to restrict people's creativity, and while the general ShareAlike license is fine, I also felt that by allowing commercial use of works, the general ShareAlike license does nothing to address the root issue of the copyright system: money.
I found the BY-NC-SA license perfect as it embraces creativity in allowing derivatives while also preventing commercial use not just in the original track, but in derivatives as well. Whether you agree or disagree with my thoughts, I found it annoying that finding tracks specifically licensed BY-NC-SA was a pain, and in creating NC-SA bops, I hope that it helps others find tracks they enjoy under the license with more ease.
