    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Are you interested in Buddhism as a philosophy or a religion? If you want to be religious, I can't be much help. I think that the most fruitful aspects of Buddhism are the philosophy of the self and mindfulness mediation.

    Why don't you try calling or emailing your nearest Buddhist temple? I honestly think the average temple would be quite happy to hear from a person who wants to be more active in the religion. Buddhist people tend to be very welcoming and accepting, because they're Buddhists.

    There are tons of mutual funds, worth doing research there. I like Vanguard Growth index fund myself.

    I think the idea that a clever young man can beat the market by making clever individual stock trades is a myth perpetuated by wall street to keep folks throwing money into the market. Casino owners want people to think that they can hit it big if they try their luck.

    If your car needed a new engine, would you do this yourself or hire a professional? If your house had a gas leak, would you fix it yourself or hire a professional? Why then would you manage your own investments if you're not a financial advisor?

    If you're interested in it as a hobby, put 90% of your money in a mutual fund and play slot machines with other 10%. But don't presume that playing slot machines with 100% of your savings is a sound investment strategy.

    Trading individual stocks is free. Mutual funds have a minimum buy in. Your local high school theater is free to attend. Hamilton tickets are $500 minimum. This is because one of these things is worth attending.

    Are you planning on day trading? Do you have access to information that other day traders do not? If not, I would put everything into a mutual fund and forget about it. Until you have more money, then I would put that money into the same mutual fund and forget about it.

    Or, try buying individual stocks for a year, and see if your layman's picks outperformed a normal mutual fund. If you did not beat the mutual fund, then you have discovered why you should put everything in a mutual fund and forget about it.

    I work in this sector. I think part of the reason is that it sometimes behooves these programs to be a bit under the radar. If the average conservative found out that the government was spending their tax dollars on touchy feely environmental nature stuff they would have a huge fit about wanting to cut government spending. They are ironically the party of small government. Sometimes the best course of action is to quietly support hunting, fishing, and farming, so that the useful conservatives understand the value of the program without alerting the average faux-libertarian and MAGA idiot that someone is using their taxes to make the land a better place to live in for their children.

    People generally only keep hens when you have just a few chickens in the backyard. Roosters don't lay eggs and they crow loudly all day, so if you're just interested in having a few animals for eggs roosters don't help much. Roosters can help protect the flock from predators.

    You're probably thinking that one hen and one rooster will produce more chickens for free. You actually don't want the eggs you're planning on eating to be fertilized by a rooster. Fertilized eggs grow small chickens inside of them instead of just having a yolk and egg white.

    Hatching chicks from eggs is a whole process requiring different equipment and setups, so generally casual backyard chicken havers don't mess with breeding and just buy more chickens from bigger operations when necessary.

    I always find these rulings to be so ridiculous. They say the judge can be trusted to not be impartial so we don't need to recuse him. Why does the recusal system exist if judges can be trusted to be impartial about matters they have a personal stake it? The exception eclipses the rule here.

    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.
