What brand and model do you currently use to style and straighten your hair? What do you like about it? What don't you like about it?

I'm in the market for a new straightener, and want your opinions. :)

I have a Dreame PCB breakout adaptor for Valetudo. It's a spare, not soldered.

I don't have a button but I should have the other parts needed.

Free to whomever needs it within Canada. I'll ship it, send me a private message. :)

Also to those more tech savyy than me wants to cross post this post for more visibility, that would be great. (Yes I see the irony.)

90 calories each. Made 30 cookies.

Mix together

• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/3 cup white sugar

Mix in

• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 egg

In a separate bowl Mix

• 1.5 cups flour
• 2 tsp corn starch
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt

Mix dry and wet ingredients.

Add 1 cup chocolate chips. I used micro mini eggs to make them fun and colourful. It was 190g I think.

Mix.

Make into 1 inch balls then flatten a bit. I put them on a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread apart because they expand. Bake at 350°F for 12 minutes.

Looking for a robot vacuum and mop to either root and put Valetudo on it or one that prioritizes privacy (offline modes.)

bObsweep UltraVision claims:

Make no mistake: UltraVision fully respects your privacy, UltraVision never sends images anywhere - servers, cloud, or otherwise - be it of your room layout or your cleaning habits. Furthermore, any info you personally insert into the app, such as your name and email address, is stored on US-based servers. Nothing gets exported to foreign servers (unlike your neighbor's expensive vacuum).

Narwhal claims it keeps information stored locally as well and encrypts data on the phone app.

Is there an advantage to rooting a vacuum and using Valetudo if the vendor doesn't store information on cloud? Would using the vendor app be a security risk?

Thanks!

These came out very soft! First time I tried to make these, somehow it did not turn out good. I realized I wasn't using enough flour.

Mix:

• 4 cups of flour
• 8 tsp baking powder
• 2 tsp salt (add more salt if you want it saltier)

Cut in

• 3/4 cup or butter (or shortening)
• 2 cups of milk

Stir with a fork to form a dough

Add

• 1 to 2 cups of grated cheese (I probably used over 200g)

Knead it 8 to 10 times

Then I cut it in half to make it easier to work with. I used flour to help since its very sticky. Shaped it into two thick baguettes. Used a knife to cut slices out.

Placed the slices on a baking pan with parchment paper and baked at 425°F for 15 minutes.

Perfect for tomato soup.

Every industry is full of non-technical hills that people plant their flag on. What is yours?

(The other post was technical hills. I changed the question to non-technical.)

Chicken with carrots, celery, peas, onion, chicken broth, half and half, flour for thickening, thyme, salt and pepper, and Pillsbury biscuits with egg wash on top

I have a Christmas cookie recipe but thought I'd try this recipe instead since I do like the Starbucks cookies.

I used that recipe to make the cookies. I made royal icing, but only used white and blue. Recipe made 3.5 baking sheets of cookies.

:)

I had leftover nuts and wanted to get rid of them. My first time making biscotti. Turned out well.
