This makes for decently crispy chickpeas, with not that much effort. Chickpeas are also very cheap and quite a healthy alternative as far as snacks go.
I place a paper towel below and above the chickpeas while microwaving to avoid any chickpeas exploding and messing up my microwave oven. Varying the spices allows for good variety in the snacking experience.
Ingredients
1 can of chickpeas
Some frying oil
Any spice mix you like
Steps
Drain and rinse the chickpeas
Place a paper towel on a large plate, put the chickpeas on top, then another paper towel
Ok, I can get sort of disagreeing the wildfires are from climate change - that's a couple of logical steps you have to make. But "It's not causing anyone to cough" is plainly ludicrous. It was making me cough when I went outside....
Quest Master is a new game by Skydevilpalm and Julian Creutz looks like a Zelda Maker where you can design your own dungeons and then share them. Hopefully their sharing ability is a little more robust than what Nintendo did with Mario Maker. No release date yet, but apparently a demo is coming soon.
Maybe I don't know quite as much as I could after >500 days, but I'm proud that I'm able to still motivate myself to work on it at least a little bit every day nonetheless.
I don't live in a hot place, but I am learning to cope with higher temperatures, and these are a few tips:
Wear garments in cool fabrics, like Linen
Linen is one of the better types of garment to keep cool during summer. For a sunny day, long linen pants and a long-sleeved linen shirt will help you beat the heat in the sun. I find that linen helps with the issue of perspiration, as it does not retain moisture in the same way that cotton and some synthetics do. It's also a pretty decent choice from an environmental perspective.
Use fans to reduce perceived temperature
Wind helps keep body temperature low by aiding in the effectiveness of perspiration, i.e. sweat evaporating and reducing body temperature. This will only be effective if your indoor humidity is not too high, see later tips on that topic.
Keep the sun away from the building
If you can shade the building you are in, it will heat up less. Awnings can be useful in this regard.
Create a draft when the outside temperature is lower than the inside
This relies on the layout of your building being appropriate, but try to keep windows open at times when it's possible. Bug nets can be useful to keep things open without getting unwanted guests.
Keep things closed when the outdoor temperature is higher than indoors
You'll want to try to maintain the amount of cool air as much as possible. Manage the climate actively, best as you can.
Turn off things that generate heat
This relies on things like you not working from home and having to keep a computer on, but even under those circumstances, you can still try to switch from high energy devices to lower energy devices (stationary computers vs laptops, TVs vs phones). Higher electricity consumption is generally going to mean higher heat generation.
Drink lots of water
You'll need it to maintain good hydration, which keeps perspiration working, which is fundamentally what's going to keep you cool when temperatures are hotter than what keeps you optimally cool.
Go for a swim
If you have access to even mildly cool water, this can help refresh you when you're feeling the heat. It's also fun.
Buy an AC
At the end of the day, perceived temperature can be a pretty hard factor to manage. When you've exhausted the rest of the list, you may need to get an AC, which will both cool the air and reduce humidity, which in turn decreases perceived temperature and generally increases comfort. If you can get one installed, that's ideal, but if your country is anything like mine, you might be stuck with a portable one, which is unfortunately pretty inefficient. Try to get a good seal on the outdoor-part of the AC unit to help it work as efficiently as possible.
Om account of its distributed nature, I don't think such a position could exist for all of Lemmy. It would have to be on a per-instance basis, probably.

Edamame beans, hard boiled eggs and popcorn are my personal favourites.

How many times have you been nearly hit by a car as a pedestrian or cyclist?
I've lost count personally. Curious as to what other's experiences have been.

People who live in hot parts of the world, how do you stay cool during your day-to-day life?
I live in the UK, but our summers are getting hotter, and I'm struggling with profuse sweating and mild dehydration....

I use geh Firefox forks mull and fennec, I occasionally use vanadium. I just like privacy but tor is overkill for me
