    Books about your country but written by foreign authors

    If I recall correctly it was a comparison between German rye bread and the Japanese "white" (milk) bread. I don't think it ever explicitly stated which kind of rye bread.

    Books about your country but written by foreign authors

    As someone from a country that gets portrayed quite a lot in a variety of media, it's mostly mixed feelings I have about it. Books, movies, games, etc that are portraying it as a focus are usually things I avoid. Because often it's either "Oh my god, all of you have to die!" or "Oh my god, let...

    Resolved Sheduled chapters not posting.

    The site uses the time zone that is set in your profile for the scheduled chapters. So if the time zone in your profile is different it will post the chapters at a different time. Try looking under Account Settings -> Personal Details -> Time Zone what time zone you have selected. If it is not...

    Need some tips from pro writers or editors :)

    Dialogue tags being capitalised are a menace. I don't mind bad grammar to an extent but there are a few things that just stick out. This being one of them. In general, bad capitalisation is something that bothers me pretty fast. As for adverbs, yeah, I don't care either when I'm reading...

    I learned to do it by cups as well and it's also how my mother taught this in her school (she's a home ec teacher). Though, judging from how you explained it, the 1 : 2 (or 1 : 1.5 for some) ratio still seems to be similar, so I guess, whatever floats your boat? Can't comment on low end rice...

    Chapter order swap

    You can change the chapter order already. In your Edit Series menu, go to the Table of Contents. To the left of every chapter are three lines. Drag & drop the chapter by clicking the three lines. After that, click on the Save Sorting button at the top.

    As for the video, I think they didn't care that much about the arsenic. She probably used parboiled rice which for one is pretty common here and also doesn't really need to be washed for the fine dust caused by polishing. And cooking with lots of water and then draining it makes it nearly...

    @binarysoap You preferably do both. It's not really possible to get rid of all the arsenic in the rice. There will always be a small amount left but the less it has, the better. This is especially a concern if you eat a lot of rice on a regular basis.

    As for washing rice, you usually want to wash rice unless you need the starch. It removes some of the arsenic as well and also removes the fine dust that's on the rice from polishing. Parboiled and natural rice should be fine since they aren't polished, I think. Still, when in doubt, just wash...

    The sieve thing is actually not as bullshit as it looks like. Most rice types contain some arsenic which is far from healthy. And one method to reduce the amount of arsenic is to drain the cooking water. The downside is that you also drain quite some of the nutrients. So, whether it is actually...

    Unpopular opinions on Amazon Banning Light Novels

    This personally annoys me quite a lot actually. Because I have to import Light Novels and Amazon makes it very easy to do so since you can just order online and they deal with everything else, including customs. Hell, most Light Novels are even in stock in a nearby distribution center already so...

    Paragraph Spacing

    Glad that it helps. Setting the spacing formats the same as everything else. In other words, either from your current position in the document onwards or what you have currently selected. For existing documents, the easiest way is simply selecting everything with the help of CTRL + A and then...

    Paragraph Spacing

    Glad I could help. As a little tip when using google docs: At the top menu, under Format -> Line spacing -> Custom spacing -> Paragraph spacing (pts) set the After spacing to 10 or similar. This gives you a similar style to the editor here, where a regular press of Enter gives you a double line...

    Paragraph Spacing

    I assume you wrote this somewhere where a line break was actually a line break for a single line and then copied the text over. In this case, though, any line break is instead a double line break, since it is more accurately a new paragraph. If you simply want to keep the space as is, deleting...

    A few little ideas

    I kind of wrote a huge wall of text, but I agree with binary so I'll keep it away to avoid blowing the thread up again. We have talked about this more than enough and there have been made plenty of arguments about this. And I have written a bunch of arguments that apply to this specific topic as...
