Moving GPG keys to new machine
Mac and Linux work the same, storing the keys in ~/.gnupg. The safest way to transfer the files is using scp (part of ssh):
To copy from your local machine to another:
scp -rp ~/.gnupg othermachine:
To copy from a remote machine to your local:
scp -r othermachine:~/.gnupg ~
If you're on the machine that already has the key:

Cook perfect rice in your instant pot
'''This stupid little script I use all the time to make perfect rice in my instant pot.
I also have a Siri Shortcut in the event that I'm near my HomePod, or other Apple devices.
https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/c67d4960a15b42d6afb0cc58c649ff03 Just tell Siri, Cook Rice.
It makes the perfect white rice in your pressure cooker or instant pot.
How I use it, is to use a kitchen scale to weigh my inner pot (which is always 1102 grams,
but added in the formula in the event I find myself at someone else's house and need to make some perfect rice).
I then weigh my rice individually to get the weight. I then wash my rice in multiple changes of water until it runs clear.
