Today FUTO released an application called Grayjay for Android-based mobile phones. Louis Rossmann introduced the application in a video (YouTube link). Grayjay as an application is very promising, but there is one point I take issue with: Grayjay is not an Open Source application. In the video Louis explains his reason behind...
I love this comic. I’m extremely curious about the experiences of attractive women. So curious I sometimes think I wish I were a woman. Sometimes I feel jealous of all the validation they get. However the more I learn about their lives the more glad I am to be an attractive man.
I don’t want to change my body and I’m comfortable being a man. I’m intensely curious about another life but I’m happy with my own. If I could start over in a new body and could choose to be a cis woman I would.
“Of course beans count as a vegetable!” I said to my wife. We have this house rule that it’s okay to eat mac and cheese for dinner so long as you add a vegetable. If I may ‘spill the beans’, I’m obsessed with them. Each one is tastier than the last: garbanzo bean, black bean, kidney. The butter bean, which is just...
Amen! I try to always prepare from dry beans. Canned beans are never as tasty and cost 10 times as much. The InstantPot makes it take under a minute of work and less than a 40 minute wait. If you can plan 40 minutes ahead there is no reason to bust into cans on the regular.
One of the worst parts of traveling is the difficulty of finding my daily helping of beans.
I have the best results when I rinse dry beans in cold water, put freshly rinsed beans and enough cold water to cover plus an extra inch into the pot, add salt and a few drops of oil, cook on high pressure.
Depending the type of beans and how fresh they are the cooking time and release process is different. For black-eyed peas that are fairly fresh 6 minutes at pressure and waiting 10 minutes after the “keep warm” cycle is best for me. For older peas it can take an extra 1 to 2 minutes.
That’s for creamy mouthfeel. If you want firm ones for salads or whatever I find upping the salt and cooking an extra minute at pressure followed by immediately releasing the pressure and allowing to cool gives the best results.
I tend to buy 25 lbs at a time from the restaurant supply. Those are often extremely fresh and cheap. Like $0.60 per pound ($14-15 per bag). The first two or three batches don’t come out right but they teach me everything I need to know to cook that rest of that bag intuitively.
All the time I have people come in to work wearing a mask, which is fine normally, good for them, but they are wearing them on their chin, chin diaper style. Not covering up anything. Or at best just their mouth, sometimes. Nobody is making these people wear a mask anymore, so why are they doing it at all if they are just going...
I left my job about two months ago, and I applied for unemployment immediately. I got a new job today, but I STILL haven’t gotten my unemployment decision. Additionally, my food stamp application was delayed due to personal circumstances. In short, had I not had money saved for an emergency, I would have been mega-screwed....
The other benefit of having a proper emergency fund is being able to say no to your boss without any fear. It took me 10 years but I have enough accessible funds to go a year easily without any new income. The freedom at work is so nice. I’ve noticed that my confidence at not needing the job makes them take me way more seriously and offer all kinds of benefits they don’t afford everyone.
Despite the fact that 90% of what I ate was home cooked, mostly from scratch, meals, I managed to miss out on some basics like courgette (zucchini) and aubergine (eggplant) and BUTTER if you can believe it....
Are you implying that if the USA stopped projecting force globally NATO would continue deter aggression like it does now? I doubt that but I’m open to changing my perspective.
Johnson & Johnson as well as Avon have paused investments and have very similar products. I have good skin with Dove but www.amazon.ca/…/B06VTWRWGJ worked great for me too. I wouldn’t get it from Amazon though.
Not really. In fact, I enjoy how often queer relationships are featured in media. What I am tired of is straight writers trying, and failing, to write queer characters.
Thanks for sharing. That’s tiny compared to the VMs we use at work. I’m always impressed how much more efficient grassroots setups are compared to bloated corporate ones.
Have you considered using the DO managed database products to improve scalability?
I have the Jinhao set recommended in this article. It writes nicely and feels great in my hand but it leaks if handled roughly and it dries out sitting on my desk. None of my TWISBI pens have those problems. They might leak into the cap a bit with rapid pressure changes like on a plane ride but otherwise they are much more solid.
I mowed as short as I could and threw a pound of crimson clover seed and a pound of dutch white clover seed among the grass. I watered heavily until it started competing. I didn't water again and had an effortless mixed clover and grass lawn until I sold that house.
When all the apps are effectively blocked I bet they push a release to the stores with directions to an alternative. Can Apollo, RiF, Boost, Sync and all the others launch gateways and point their users at the fediverse?
