I use a loose enough evaporation method
I don't really time it but it still works out great. It only goes wrong if you try to serve it immediately, you have to leave it to sit with the lid on for about ten minutes once you take it off the heat.
(, Tue 14 Jun 2011, 21:28, Reply)
I wish I knew what you meant by that.

(, Tue 14 Jun 2011, 21:32, Reply)
alright I'll do my best
you put your rice in a pan. Then you cover it with water to a level where the surface of the water is about 1.5 cm above the surface of the rice (you can measure this with your fingernail). You put the heat on full with the lid off. When it starts to boil you put the lid on, turn the heat to low and leave it for a bit. When it starts to boil over you move the lid a bit to let steam out. Once all the water has evaporated turn off the heat and put the lid back on tight. Then let it sit there for 5/10 mins.

Or you could use a microwave.

Looks like that'll work.

Rice in pan.
Enough water to cover and a little over.
High heat till boiling.
Then low simmer.
Leave.
When all water gone then stop cooking and leave to steam for a while.

Job done.

I tend to get a little angry whenever I talk about politics.
Mainly because I can't figure out a good way to actually run things properly. I'm thinking a jury-based system with certain exclusions (not sure what these would be, I'm not qualified) might be a start.

This by the way is based on my belief that those who seek power are totally unfit to wield it.

Do come back when you have formulated a defendable, workable system.
(, Tue 14 Jun 2011, 21:35, Reply)
I'm still trying to figure it out, be fair.
I like the Swiss system though, with regular referenda and the proportional representation. Unfortunately it does bring up the occasional anomaly, such as the recent ban on minarets which was a bit unfortunate.

And if anyone says PR doesn't work, I can point you to several examples where it has clearly worked for many, many years. Apart from Italy and Belgium.

(, Tue 14 Jun 2011, 21:39, Reply)
I don't think I'm qualified, to be honest. It's more a half-baked idea than anything else.
But that said, I think the Swiss system is best.

EDIT

As you've edited, I'll permit myself one. I was previously weightedcompanioncube. Darth Foxtrot suggested a name change. I liked his suggestion and I went with it. And I am a massive Pratchett fan. Although I don't think the idea of the Patrician would work here, unfortunately.
