Reply to Zojirushi rice cooker. Cooking rice to perfection 15 years and counting. by Spudcommando

I have a Zojirushi also! I bought it when I was called up for Desert Storm in 1991, and spent some time in Camp Pendleton, CA.

32 years and it is still going strong! I only wish I could find a replacement bowl for it, since it is teflon coated and flaking off.

Those look almost like my wife's homemade siopao buns. Steamed?

Similar situation for me. Water coming in around basement windows that are "just" below grade. Reddit says to rip out old windows, put in new, dig around foundation and waterproof it.

Practical solution: I dug out window wells about 1 foot below the bottom edge of window. Put new window wells in using Tapcons and mastic, and then filled below the window with gravel for drainage.

Also got the downspout water further from the house using underground drain pipe and a popup.

Basement is totally dry since then, and it cost a couple hundred dollars versus thousands.

My stepson used to work for a fairly large landscaping company, and Fiskar reps would bring their yard tools out for evaluation/feedback. So a lot of their design is based on feedback from people who use them 8 hours a day.
