Cable management isn’t good
  • Pull the shelf away from the wall.
    Thread the power strip through from a side.
    Use one column of shelfs for connecting things to the power strip.
    This way you can easily connect things to the power strip from behind.
    Cables will be vertical and excess can be left hanging.
    If you use the second row from below, you can easily connect things temporarily. But the lowest row would allow for a better look if the power strip is only used for permanently plugged devices.

  • Our entire existence may be a sort of stable spacetime bubble that can pop at any moment.
  • How would it change society if we knew that our entire solar system will be wiped out in a foreseeable future.

    In 5 years, in a generarion, this century?
    I think most people would draw the line at this millennia.
    Historically speaking, the world of our species has always been in a turmoil of great changes with pockets of order and safety.
    During the cold war people lived with the fear that everything could come to an end at any time.

    Only the ignorant seemed to be unaffected.

  • Cowboys in westerns always have standoffs because the one who draws first attempts murder, to draw second is justified self-defense
  • I saw a youtube of a modern cowboy shooting at stuff.
    His hand is already near the gun, like in western movies.
    When the signal comes, Iirc he simultaneously bends his knees, gets in kind of a hunching position and barely pulls the gun out rotating it in hip height towards the target and shoots.
    Unfortunately, I have no link nor a name to the channel.

    It really isn't like it's depicted in those pirate movies or the aristocratic era dueling movies.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • Woman can only give birth every year.
    A single man on the other hand might impregnate women each and every week, from maturity till his heart stops beating.

    So woman held considerable power in any society and it would only be natural for men to seize the means of reproduction.

    I think that's what happened, historically speaking.

  • Always Be Soaking
  • Avoid metal stuff while soaking and don't add salt before they're cooked.
    It can harden the hull.
    You may add some sodium bicarbonat to soften the hull but you need to experiment with the cooking time.
    A pressure cooker is nice but you either need to calculate in the time it needs till you can open the pot.
    Or you take the easy route and cook them till they're done and you terminate the cooking process by cooling the pot in water.

  • Always Be Soaking
  • I already soaked and cooked 1,8 kg.
    That's twelfe more portions of black beans while I still got twelfe left in the freezer.

    Soaking 1,8 kg for 24h.
    Cooking in three batches in a pressure cooker.
    It takes 9 minutes till the pressure is up.
    15 minutes of simmering.
    Immediately cooling the pot with water to bring pressure down.
    Filling pot with cold water and stirring to cool down beans to terminate cooking and preparing for freezer.
    Portioning 150g - which now, after cooking the beans, weighs around 310-350g - into freezer bags, flattening them and flapping the excess part of the bag over.
    You want them as flat as possible so later on the frozen beans can easily be broken apart and prepared faster. Stacking the bags in the freezer.

    Now just put a portion of fast cooking grains or rice in the pot, add frozen beans and kale, enough water and cook them.
    Sieved tomatoes and herbs and spices can be added after cooking to cool the meal down a little so you can immediately start eating.

    Btw. I need to soak some beans.

  • What rule was created because of you or someone you know?
  • Every third shift is an undesired shift.
    I arranged my six weeks of time off accordingly spread evenly around the year.
    Now the undesired shift gets postponed and I have to tske that in account too when making long term appointments.
