Seen this while in an extremely interesting Teams meeting. Started laughing. Good job.
Push to talk FTW.
Or at least, for not getting fired for not sharing the joke….
So, how do I enable that?
EDIT: Ctrl-Space, for anyone else wondering.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utqEHuoq1iA Edit: it seems like you can’t set custom keybindings for PTT. Which is… idiotic. I usually use ` instead of whatever (habit from gaming on voice chats).
PTT requires you hold the keybind down, rather than having an always-on or always-off mic. (great if you just need to say something quick)
Thank you for the info. Is there a mobile version of this? Most of my Teams meetings are from my phone…
I kind of doubt it. There should be a mute/unmute setting, at least. I’m not that familiar with teams, though.
Mic on mute by default. And cam is off. Fully stealth mode.
Teams unmutes my mic if I join a meeting with only one or two people in it. Even if I muted it from the button on my headset. It is the stupidest thing ever.
This is my GF when ever I’m cooking something.
It’s also me whenever she’s cooking something.
Apparently, we’re both cats, so it works out. (Don’t tell her)
It’s the same in our household. For my husband, it’s usually when all I’ve got going so far are garlic and onions in the pan.
everything else is just a vehicle for the garlic and onions, amirite?
The one that gets her really… demanding… is the mac and cheese. It’s just a cheddar mornay - white roux, milk until about heavy cream consistency cheddar cubes or shredded, let it get thicker than you’d like… Then cook the pasta not-quite-done, drain off most the liquid and finish cooking with the sauce. chives and fine-chopped bacon if you’re a weirdo with left over bacon… fresh cracked black pepper
Its one of my go-to comfort foods. or comfort sides. you can get surprisingly fancy with it, too. lots of variation is possible.
left over bacon
???
Lol
Honestly the only bacon-y leftover thing we ever have is bacon fat, and it’s great for sprucing up all kinds of things, as I’m sure you know. My favorite lately is to saute sandwich meats in it before assembling my sandwich, then I pan-sear both sides of the sandwich before eating.
When I was single… I’d cook off one or two pieces at a time. Until the package had to be cooked off.
Occasionally I had enough willpower to not scarf 2/3’s of it. (Though, it does seem like packages today are a lot smaller….)
I just saw a Mac and cheese tip I want to try. Cook the macaroni in equivalent amount of water (one cup to one cup) to al dente, do not drain whatever is left over. Shouldn’t be much left over but it’ll be starchy goodness
I usually go with a large amount of water because you don’t really need that much starch to act as an emulsifier, and generally for pasta, if you use relatively small amounts of water, the pasta will drop the temperature of the water and simmer awkwardly for a bit.
though I came across an interesting idea for pasta “Risotto style”… last night. using vege or chicken stock. apparently it’ll thicken stocks into good sauces (not sure it’ll work for mac and cheese, though. they say already thickened sauces like mornays are not so helpful.)
Both cats? Fuck around and get adopted.
“Mom. The new cats woke me up! They were cooking at 2am and now I’m hungry.”
“Look kid, you didn’t have to wake them. Just have some. It’s okay. I know to make extra.”
“MOM!!! The new cat is talking!!!”
Talking is fine, making a musical is out.
I only sing when nobody else can hear me.
It’s not so much how I go looking for the notes and don’t find them as it’s how I go looking and find them. All. of them.
She doesn’t know she’s a cat? Yeah, that checks out.
My cat would beg for food sometimes when I was preparing it but tuna was different. He didn’t even bother with the normal pawing at me and meowing while I was at the counter. He would just go straight to my desk in the other room where I ate and sit on it waiting for me to arrive.
Pretty sure tuna is addictive to cats
There are high-quality complete foods for cats made from tuna which, unlike tuna for humans, do not contain too much salt. My cat loves that stuff.
Why did the human jump on the counter?
Because their
carcat* is well behaved and doesn’t jump on counters, but somebody had to do it.Why would car want tuna?
Because its engine was untunad.
SeA MEaT
