Just from a practical perspective: use your microwave as rarely as possible! Leftovers can be really amazing - sometimes as good or better than the original dish - but only when heated properly!
A microwave will heat stuff unevenly most of the time. You can get it to be better with hacks like changing the power setting and using a wet paper towel, but the evenness of heating will always be better on the stove or in the oven.
In addition, you can have more control over important variables like salt and moisture content if you don't use the microwave. Lots of food... especially meats like chicken, will dry out to hell in a microwave. By switching to a stove or oven you can rekindle the original flavor and texture.
Lastly skipping the microwave allows you to heat stuff in a more modular way. If I was reheating a pasta with grilled chicken, I would get a better result 100% of the time if I start the chicken on the stove and then add the pasta later. You get a browning effect on the chicken and you can more easily time how done it needs to be before the pasta is added.
Very good point! Microwaves are really the only way to reheat coffee. It's not as good as just finishing the cup before it gets cold in the first place, but it's miles ahead of every other option.
Well banning all types of cause nights seems to be like a decent way to shut down the negative discourse. But I really wish the league would take a tough stance and continue them.
$10,000 would actually eliminate debt for a lot of borrowers! IMO if $10,000 is a “drop in the bucket” you have a personal problem, not a political one.
My girlfriend is a Pell grant recipient so she would get $20,000, and that wipes out more than half her pharmacy school debt
I am just very weary of the idea that the government should use federal funds to bail out people who simply made poor decisions. Plenty of people get through college with a reasonable amount of debt, instead of some insane 6-figure total. Let me elaborate:
My girlfriend is a graduate student with a family poor enough to qualify her for the Pell grant, and yet she will have less than 50k in debt when she graduates! Better yet, she only took out so much in loans because she knows that she can expect to earn a 6-figure salary with her pharmacy degree. Her pharmacy school costs $40,000 a year, and yet she is able to pay most of that money up front by working 30-hour weeks during the school year, and 50-hour weeks during the summer). It's tough on her, but she has an incredibly bright future ahead because of the hard work.
If you look at the demographics, the poorest people in our society - those who are food insecure and/or homeless, have a median of 0 DOLLARS of student loan debt. That's because many of them were too poor to even consider college in the first place! Those with 6-figure debt are often members of the middle class who didn't come up with a reasonable plan for paying what they owe based on their credentials, and didn't take measures to reduce their loans during college. Instead of using federal funds on those people, I want it to go to someone who is truly in need.
Not true. The money they receive from loan repayments is factored into the national budget, so forgiving loans means that the government has less money for other programs.
It’s true that they’re not literally spending money here, but it’s the same end result.

The headline is correct though, because the US government gave Ford $9.2 Billion as part of a plan to combat china’s growth in EVs. How on earth could that be disingenuous?
I think we all can agree that the main thing holding back the growth of kbin and lemmy throughout all of the reddit drama is a lack of accessibility.

Customers wanting lab-grown meat will have to venture to upscale restaurants in San Francisco or D.C. for now, according to the Associated Press, since It’ll likely take years before cultivated chicken reaches American grocery carts because of the need to ramp up production capabilities.
To be honest that is way fewer than I expected. If 50% of Americans are able to switch to primarily lab grown meat in the next 20 years, it'd be huge for our impact on the planet
