Me and my partner have spent the last hour looking through recipe books because I need to figure out how to good a more… diabetes friendly selection of foods.
I can cook a roast dinner no problem, but cooking beans and pulses? No idea.
Get an Instant Pot, put in some pinto beans, ads Chile, cumin, and chopped jalapenos, as well as veggie broth, enjoy your life. Instant Pot or any pressure cooker is really worth it.
Don’t just learn to cook. Find at least one dish that you want to get down pat and perfect that dish. Having that one dish you do perfectly is great for date nights.
When a cop ask you questions, only answer what you are required to answer.
Yep. You have to tell them your name and ID yourself, you have to get out of the car if they tell you to, but you don't have to say shit about what did or didn't happen. Even if you haven't been read your rights there are still some circumstances where the bodycam can be played and used against you in court. It only takes 2 seconds for one random thing to come out of your mouth that you can't take back that can perfectly make the case against you, and put you away.
The cops' job is to catch bad people and put them away. That is fine, you don't gotta be hostile or deliberately make everyone's day unpleasant, but if you're in the crosshairs as a potential bad person don't say a goddamned word until you talk to a lawyer. Anything helpful for your side about you talking to them will still be helpful after you talk to a lawyer.
For as much as I don't agree with him stealing, this guy actually shows a great example of how it works (all sides - the manipulation of dude-just-be-honest and his correct response to it; obeying all the lawful orders but telling them to GFY whenever they ask him questions.)
(Honestly I wouldn't even say that much, because they can maybe play that in court and say see he knew he was guilty. Just, I don't want to talk to you about it until I talk to a lawyer first.)
If you live in the United States, don’t talk to cops. You don’t know this person. You don’t know that the cop isn’t a criminal and is now looking for a patsy. Don’t discuss your day, don’t discuss your travel plans, don’t say where you’ve been. If a cop asks to search anything, don’t say yes, don’t say no, don’t say sure, no thanks. The only thing you say is ‘I do not consent to a search’, regardless of how it is asked. If a cop asks you anything, say ‘I invoke the fifth and I want to speak to a lawyer’. Burghuis v thompkins effect hobbled you miranda rights. And you must verbalize your right to remain silent. You must also verbally request a lawyer in basically eight grade english. No slang. If you say ‘I want a lawyer, dawg’ state v demesme makes it reasonable for cops to believe you would like a lawyer who is a dog.
If you have dandruff, dry skin, or anything that requires special medicated products, buy a few different brands with different active ingredients and rotate your usage between them so your body doesn’t build immunity.
Like the other comment, I’d also like a follow-up on this as I usually use hot water to rinse it. The foam seems to get stuck on the razor if I use cold water. Is there something I’m missing that makes the cold water better?
A bed frame to get your mattress off the floor makes a bigger difference than you’d think. And having one that won’t break and drop you is even better!
Another tip is if somebody says something, do not necessarily come back with a topical response, sometimes just repeat exactly what they just said flatly and wait for them.
This shows you are listening and creates a nanosecond of validation. And instead of filling the gap in conversation with your response, you give them a chance to expand their thoughts.
Never buy food when you’re hungry. You’ll end up wasting money buying more food than you need, and after all is said and done, you’ll feel really fat and be ashamed at yourself.
Agree! Also, I agree with the other comment as well. Sometimes, and I mean sometimes, I can go for a frozen milky way or Twix but that’s way different and even then that’s like a once every 2 years thing for me.
Well, good quality chocolate tastes much better at room temperature. Shit quality ‘chocolate’ like some of the big brands here in America does taste better cold. But only because it dulls the horrible taste.
Which brings me to my own little life pro-tip: spend a bit more on decent quality chocolate. It’s worth the cost.
Iirc a lot of American chocolate has a preservative in it which was originally used to keep it good during long journeys in transit to stores. Americans got used to the taste of this preservative, so it remains
Said preservative has a similar taste to what gives parmesan and vomit a distinct bite in its taste.
I’m going off memory here so if I’m wrong please correct me.
As a European, I’d read about this phenomenon and assumed it was just a sort of vaguely reminiscent hint of a taste. Because surely nobody would be eating it if it tasted strongly of vomit.
Was given a free sample of Hershey’s in Chicago once. Didn’t taste of anything at all it was just weird and waxy. So much for that!
Yeah I made it maybe halfway down the street before the taste kicked in. For any other non-US folks who think it’s an exaggeration, it is not. Literally tasted like I’d thrown up in my mouth, not just a bit like it but literally like vomit.
My minor life advice is do not accept handouts of Hershey’s chocolate!
