Decided to use base 4 for my conlang. I struggle with math and numbers, and it was an ordeal making several base 10 systems that were, to be honest, cheap knock-offs of existing base 10 systems. So I tried to assign names to each number, and my stupid brain kept dragging me to base 10 and I'd destroy an hours' work. Over and over again. Eventually the pattern jumped out at me and I finally grasped it. I'm mad at myself how long, and how much effort, it took me to understand something so simple. Grr.

I'll definitely look into congee. Cheers!

That sounds delicious, maybe it can go together with some rice and an omelette on the side?

Yeah you can add whatever. I avoided rice because I've been living off rice for quite a long time and I'm getting sick of it haha. I would recommend steamed/boiled veggies as a side dish.

I guess you could always start a new community of your own?

Hmm, I can barely use Lemmy just as a poster. I don't think I'd be up to creating a community.

But I've had a question about rice I've wanted to ask for a long time, but I didn't know who to ask. Maybe you would know: is it possible to make a decent rice dish using a powdered soup mix? I'm often left with rice and soup mix and it's tempting to mix them, but I can't afford to waste food if it's inedible.

Oh she'll be interested if she comes home one day and sees an elephant in the backyard with Koreans stuck to it. Just an idea*.

I based it off an Indian recipe I found online. Apparently southern India.

I based it off an Indian recipe I found online. I used slightly unripe mangoes because it adds that "tang" and a change of texture.

What do you mean by specifications?

Base 8? I think Tom Lehrer wrote a song about it.

Yeah I've been making more progress on my duolingo course too.

Yeah definitely. That's what I was saying about spreading my net wider here. I try communities of topics that I'm not necessarily interested in, but could be. Being a bit more open minded giving new things a chance.
