Yah, even as someone that doesn't eat much pasta (I loath the taste of onions, which are in every goddamn tomato sauce in existence, but haven't reached the point of caring enough to make my own stuff), not boiling the sauce is a pretty good rule of thumb for cooking the stuff.

There's probably youtube videos or whatev' out there showing the better way to cook the sauce. Might consider hunting some down and showing them to whoever's doing the cooking. Or take over the sauce prep duties or somethin'.

Is... isn't rooting both sides to remove the powers simplification? I'm probably missing something 'cause the picture was bugger off huge on this computer and I didn't look at it so I got sod all idea of what y'all are talking about, but rol saying they simplified and then you saying simplified in more words is kinda'...

Uh. Not even remotely. Does have a similar mechanic but they're very, very different games in just about every other sense. One I was talking about was a platformer where your character was a mech with a gun that could invert gravity, probably from back in the 90s/late 80s. Old NES game, pretty bloody neat for its time. Never can remember what it was called.

Canola oil least worst cooking oil.

... though I just realized I have no idea what canola actually is. Turns out it's apparently a product of rapeseed!

Hell, some of it's just stuff people haven't gotten around to doing again. I'd love to see a 2017 ogre battle, or a new game inspired by chaos seed. More games that play hard off that one gravity switching NES platformer I can never remember the name of. All sorts of stuff like that. Prolific as games are, there's still a lot of shit they either haven't touched much or at all. Somewhat less applicable to mods, but the things still easily offer material that just isn't available outside modded games, or doesn't have something else out there of equal or better quality. Just because there's something available elsewhere that a mod does, doesn't mean that something isn't complete shite.

Tight pot lid can work better than a lot of things. Caveat being the tight part, and getting it there to begin with. You don't want to involve water in a grease fire basically at all, ever. Beating on it with something or another (rag can work, but maybe something somewhat less flammable -- they make fire-retardant cloth-like stuff for that, iirc) can help. Haven't really tried baking soda. Salt just... works. Dump the junk on it until it stops being fwooshy. Takes a fair bit, but so does baking soda or extinguisher stuff.

And yeah, cooking oil in general. Sometimes animal fat of some sort, sometimes vegetable oil. Proper reaction to it catching fire isn't terribly much different, far as I'm aware.

Both work, apparently, it's that you usually need less salt to put something out, and it's somewhat less likely to catch fire itself. Different mechanics involved. Probably different efficacy for different types of fire, too. Grease ones are definitely salt, but other sorts might do better with baking soda.
