  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Beans Are a Vegetable: an Overanalysis

  • Late reply but I'll share what I know...

    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.

    GL!

  • Beans Are a Vegetable: an Overanalysis

  • 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.

  • Why are you still wearing a mask...wrong?

  • I asked myself this often. I think it's absentmindedness but I still find myself annoyed. Wear it or don't but halfway just gets to me.

  • For the Love of Everything, Please Keep 3-6 Months Worth of Money for an Emergency Fund (If You Can)

  • 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.

  • This resonates with me. I love all the packages but yes the gigabytes downloaded to build something and the sheer time taken is not fun at all. Syntax is ugly IMO as well. It's still my go to for strongly and statically typed languages in spite of everything though. Maybe you're right about the hype train hitting me. :)

  • What food did you not try until you were an adult? Did you have a "where have you been all my life" moment?

  • Rare beef. Chanterelles. Eggplant. Artichokes. Lamb. Moist chicken with skin on. Turmeric, coriander, and oh my... cumin!

  • What you call hype I call a strong and growing ecosystem. ;)

    Honestly it's been fun chatting with you. I think we are sort of opposites. You seem to like hobby languages. I like well used languages. You are tired of hearing about what's popular. I'm excited about other programmers being excited.

    I am curious what turned you off when you were actually using Rust. Or did you mostly lose interest because other people endorse it?

  • The Pentagon doesn’t need $886bn. I oppose this bloated defense budget | Bernie Sanders

  • Sure, most of NATOs military power comes from the US, but the overall power comes from being a united front of multiple countries.

    We can agree on that.

  • Built-in software ‘death dates’ are sending thousands of schools’ Chromebooks to the recycling bin

  • Fun stuff :)

    Part of what make Python amazing is pip and everything that's already been built. For a strongly typed and statically typed language with a large and growing ecosystem I'm drawn to Rust even though I don't think it's pretty.

  • The Pentagon doesn’t need $886bn. I oppose this bloated defense budget | Bernie Sanders

  • 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.
