I suppose, because industry was built-up around imperial units since colonial times & the cost would be considerable to change over. I like metric in that the base units of each are proportional: 1 cubic centimeter = 1 gram = 1 milliliter. And, of course it all being based on units of 10, making scientific notation a lot nicer when performing operations & calculations in Algebra or Calculus, etc.

I remember waaaay back in the day playing CTF in the Delta Force games. So much fun. I'm talking early 2000's....like 20 years ago. I was #1 globally in kills & total kills in Delta Force: Xtreme. CTF mode maps were especially conducive for knifing.

Sorry for your loss, brother. Took a little over a year off to take care of my mom about 5 years ago. Still miss her.

Additionally, you want negative pressure in a case: more force pulling out than pulling in. Prevents hot air build-up in the case. Make sure all the case fans are 4-socket plugs rather than 3-prong...which means they can be controlled by the mainboard when plugged into the fan headers. Some cases come with 3-prong case fans which, although they'll be powered by the motherboard fan headers, they won't be controlled by the board.

Just update BIOS & enable XMP/EXPO to get best RAM performance.

Low calorie?! Banish the thought

Lol, I do believe genitalia pics are prohibited on our forums.

Yeah; the stated purpose of grinding uncooked rice to pulverization, until it comes away still white is to work the rice into the matrices & remove all granite dust & dislodge any remnant fine granite particles. Seeing as how I scrubbed the shit out of it with a stiff-bristled brush & reverse osmosis water for 15 minutes, until the water came away still clear- even then drinking from it to confirm no flavor- the pulverized rice paste came away still white first time. Interesting; never heard of a Teak wood pestle.

About 20 minutes of vigorous grinding, mostly in a circular motion. When I was researching on culinary forums, a repeated suggestion was to get a large capacity mortar. Was a nice little workout for the forearms. Before the rice grinding, I vigorously scrubbed it with a brush & reverse osmosis water for a good 12 - 15 minutes. Bought an under-sink reverse osmosis 5-stage water filtration system a year ago & am very happy with the purchase. It's already paid for itself with the savings from not purchasing 5-gallon jug refills from the store & lugging them home every week. Will be sure to clean this mortar with r.o. water only, so no funky tap water residues mar my culinary exploits. Do you have a mortar & pestle? If so, what are your favorite & most frequent preparations?

Apparently, I cleaned it thoroughly enough with a brush & reverse osmosis water, that the first iteration of seasoning by grinding wet, uncooked rice to a paste came away clean. Woot. Do this enough & you'd develop Popeye forearms. Looks like a mini cauldron. By the pricking of my thumb, something tasty this way comes.

Will definitely try. Thanks!

They said larger is better upon perusal. So I got this 5-cup capacity mortar & pestle. It's granite. It weighs close to 20 lbs. Good deal @ ~$35.00 Guacamole will be its maiden mission. Handsome. Utilitarian.

Can turn out passable if you become familiar with cooking time to remain under 212F internal temp, & firstly poke some holes in the tater; although hot spots will result. I cover mine with a bowl when doing this method.

Baked potato with the slightest dab of salsa con queso. Promise there's a potato under there somewhere.

Yes, freshly ground peppercorns so the volatile oils are there to give & carry the flavor. Canned pepper is bland by comparison. The rest of these baked potatoes I used to make mashed potatoes, using a recipe I came across where you cut them in half & press them through a strainer. Beating the potatoes activates the gluten in the potatoes & makes them gummy. The ratio of potatoes to butter I use is 2:1. 1 pound of butter to every 2 pounds of taters.

Yup, just below boiling point, to keep the inside fluffy.
