I believe the line markings is for water when you cook rice.

You add 9 cups of rice (perhaps with the plastic cup that comes in the box), then fill it up to the 9 cup line with water. Once cooked, this will produce perfectly cooked rice.

Re:QR error correction helps and hinders scanning on Wednesday September 29, 2021 @08:22AM (#28692684)
Have a look at the ACT's QR code check-in system. It's a simple 8 digit (I think) number that needs to be scanned with the ACT's check in app.

What I would love is poster sized QR codes instead of a small patch of an A4 page. That way you could scan it from afar.

> Curiously the places with the least foreigners are the most xenophobic ones and vice versa.

That's actually the standard. It's easy to be xenophobic when someone has very little exposure to other cultures. Once they get exposed over a long period of time, people realise that they are just people too.

What's the difference between a software engineer and "just" a programmer?
MP's are different from senators. MP's are in the house while senators are in the senate.

Most people won't know that these chrome features exist. Most people don't go digging through options and settings, they just download chrome and go, go, go.

How do you get past the paywall?
You should invest in some surge protectors, the fuses are cheap and simple to replace. Use them on any high-value items you wouldn't want to replace.
