I'm disappointed this video is doing so well in the Fediverse. It's largely unsourced and highly speculative like most of the videos on TikTok.

As a PC gamer I have exactly zero incentive to buy an Xbox. I hope they never renege on releasing every Xbox exclusive simultaneously on PC.

Basically this, but replace "Ukrainians" with "Africans".

I should have specified I don't bring it to a full boil. I turn down the heat just when it starts to boil.

Not claiming my method is better than yours! Your method actually sounds quicker, which is a good argument for it.

This is the Way.

I do it slightly differently... Learned to do it in Korea. But the differences in my approach are just a matter of how you time things. I bring to a boil uncovered, then cover and leave it on low for 25 mins, then 10 mins off the heat.

The gist of the method is not so much to boil the rice, but to let it steam in its own heat. That's how you get soft yet consistent grains of rice.

With a bit of practice, you get perfect rice every time, and it's barely more work than a rice cooker! The only things that a rice cooker add is stuff like timing the cooking for you, the ability to set a timer, and the ability to keep the rice warm once it's cooked. (Which, granted, are pretty useful.)

Yeah, that's my setup as well. Tech-savvy people tend to have an all-or-nothing attitude to security, but at the end of the day, as soon as you take some extra precautions like using a keygen or activating 2FA, you're already taking yourself out of the massive pool of targets of opportunity that hackers go for.
