I leave it plugged in year round, but you’re right that it’s the high humidity temperate temperature times of the year when it really has to work.

The original underlying issue was several weeks of comfortable outdoor temperatures with 90%+ humidity. That meant the central air didn’t need to run at all and the indoor humidity crept up over 70%.
On a very related note, a dehumidifier makes such a huge difference in indoor comfort.

Cooking @lemmy.world•What do you cook when your left arm doesn't work?
2·11 days agoI do 1 part rice, 1.5 parts water by weight. My usual recipe is 400g rice, 600g water. Rinse the rice until it doesn’t make the water cloudy when you mix it anymore and drain thoroughly, then add your recipe water. For my instant pot I do 6 minutes and let it do a natural pressure release which takes about fifteen minutes, so it does end up with the usual twenty minutes at temperature. I don’t think I would bother using a stove top pressure cooker for rice, though.

5·11 days agoA pressure cooker is also great for cooking rice if you have one. I used to swear by cooking it on the stove, but now my pressure cooker rice is just as good as the stove but way more hands off.
Is there a cat free version? Or maybe just reduced cats? The rest is fine.

Oh no…
I rinse in the pot. Add water, mix it around, drain, repeat until mostly clear. The more the better, but mostly clear already takes five or more rinses. Finally I do 1.5x the rice weight of water (400g rice and 600g water is my usual recipe size). Then I set the pressure cooker to 4 minutes and let it naturally release pressure once it’s done.

9·25 days agoA study last year suggested a link between long distance running and colon cancer, so even increasing activity may not save us.
Another study seems to hypothesise that the cancer risk may be related to reduced blood flow to the gut.

I tried to lose and keep weight off for years without much success, but for me finally getting on thyroid medicine helped get it off for good. Turns out I was snacking because I was so fatigued all the time. It’s a frustrating process to try and find what works for you, especially when everyone just says it’s all calories in vs calories out.
