Today I made a weird sauce
  • In my experience, if you make gravy in the same pan after making fried chicken, it's going to come out delicious, because chicken grease = delicious. So as long as you're frying chicken, then adding flour and milk to what's left in the pan and cooking it, it's going to taste good.

  • Today I made a weird sauce
  • What is the question exactly? Why did the sauce come out okay? Were you expecting something different? What is 'curdling' as opposed to creamy?

    As others have said, cooking flour, fat and milk is going to make the base for a creamy sauce (bechamel). The picture looks very thick. I may add a bit more milk to get it more creamy and less gluey. Some acid would also improve the taste, maybe a splash of vinegar.

  • Gloss overtop Matte Coating?
  • You would get the intended effect, but layering multiple coats of varnish risks making the whole thing a little cloudy and obscuring details. If you really wanted to do this I would hand paint both matt and glossy areas. But I also think that messing with sheen doesn't look very nice. I like to matt varnish everything.

  • How do you come up with builds?
  • Generally trial and error until I get the feel I want. Set up a build one way, try it out. If I find myself running out of of ammo, not doing enough damage, etc, I'll try to remember that and adjust for next time. Although by this point I've played so much all of my guns are pretty locked in and I think I would get confused if I changed OCs now.

    I did greatly enjoy the new set of OCs they released. Using most of those now.

  • Why would someone desire a pension instead of a 401k?
  • Immune to market fluctuations. Based on years working and salary so if you worked a long time then retired and lived for a long time you may get more money than if you had a bag of cash in the market. It lasts until you die and your spouse can inherit it so it provides stability for you and your partner for the rest of your lives instead of having to guess how many more years you're going to live and dividing your savings by number of years left. Removes that stress of outliving your guess and running out of cash.

  • Best starting point for the lore? Or even roadmap for beginners?
  • I would recommend starting with the introduction section of one of the rulebooks. The big ass rulebooks lay it all out for beginners, from the history of the imperium to an overview of the various alien factions. From there you can dive into novels and stuff.

    The 3rd and 4th edition rulebooks are my personal favorites, although those are pretty dated if you're looking for modern lore on Primaris marines, Votann, new Eldar factions, or the return of the Emperor's holy sons [REDACTED] and [REDACTED].

    If you're interested in a specific faction, that faction's codex will have reams of lore.

  • My modded console and PC setup with everything interconnected. Too much clutter?
  • Unbelievably cluttered. I have a similar set up but put everything in a cabinet next to the desk. Get another piece of furniture and offload everything but the monitor and keyboard somewhere else. Clean spaces make for uncluttered minds. I am a huge minimalist though.

  • Is it true that art styles don't have names, only descriptions?
  • Can you give an example? This sentence is pretty nonsensical in its own.

    For example, Bauhaus is a name of a kind of art, but it is not a description. In fact, it is the name of a place where the art style originated.

    So maybe the answer is just, no.

  • In old biographies, there was the college “bull session”, staying up late and discussing the issues of the world. Did you have that experience?
  • Went to undergrad in early 2000s. We stayed up late in the dorms talking about the meaning of life and society and existence regularly. I think you just didn't manage to find the smart interesting people. And none of us were "culturally Jewish", sounds kind of dog whistly to me.

    First Votann Hearthkyn squad for my Ymyr Army

    My first squad complete. I loved this new squat range as soon as I saw them. I'm going for a very high (for me at least) painting standard for the army, at least three touches for each element.

    Mixed in some 3d printed bits, notably the helmet and shield for the Theyn. Any good dorf unit needs a stout shield up front. Also a frying pan for the squad cook.

    There are a few things I'll tweak for future units. I'll simplify the scheme a little, stop picking out the elbow and knee pads in black and stop picking out the boot straps in leather. Unnecessary details that took a long time for a unit of 10. I'll ease back on the scratches on the white armor paint and decals, although I like the way the chipping came out.

    PS Lemmy please support photo albums!

    How to make sourdough without messing with starter every day?

    I enjoy making sourdough, but I don't want to make it every week. I would like to make it maybe once a month if that. I don't like the hassle of feeding a starter constantly, it doesn't feel worth it when I'm only making sourdough every once in a while.

    Is there an alternative to maintaining a starter? I've tried throwing the starter in the fridge but I'm so lazy it just becomes a little cup of mold by the time I take it out two months later.

    Many thanks for your wisdom oh Bread Lemmies.

    Back button on browser goes back two pages

    Browsing lemmy.world in a browser. I am on page 3 of my feed. I open a post, read it, and press the back button on the browser to return where I left off in the feed. However, instead of taking me back to where I was on page 3, the back button takes me somewhere on page 2. So Everytime I want to go back to the main feed from a post, I have to click back and then scroll to the bottom and click next page then scroll to find where I left off.

    How do I fix this? Thank you.
