Sorry, you got “sniped”; I’ve already given away my 3, and I won’t get more until the new year.

Maybe you can score one from someone else?

Same here on both counts.

First 3 replies to this post asking for a guest pass will get one from me. It’s a free month of viewing anything through Nebula. (I recommend “The Prince” and “Lynchpins”.)

My parents would say you just haven’t been hungry enough. Their parents lived through the great depression. I wouldn’t know, but I hear people are having to make food/medicine trade offs, which seems more dire than flavor/texture preference tradeoffs.

That said, I don’t know a protein source that’s as available and cheap as beans, but you might try insects if cheap is the priority or poultry if availability is your priority.

You can buy a large bag of frozen vegetable blend and steam it fairly simply. You can either steam single serving and keep the rest frozen OR steam the whole bag in bulk, and refrigerate for up to a week, reheating single servings as you need them.

Best of luck.

Yeah, no. I cooked my own beans from dry and I was still overly gassy for a bit.

Best sloppy joes I ever had were mostly TVP. It is really great at absorbing the lipids from the meat AND spices.

I have always hated soaking beans, which is why the Instant Pot has been one of the single greatest cooking inventions I have ever used.

Exactly why I bought mine. Any pressure cooker will do. Beans (red, pinto, or black) 1 : 2 with water for 40 minutes, followed by natural release. I use roughly a pint of dried beans (1lb bag, then topped up out of a mixed-beans bag), to get 9 large servings.

I also do quinoa in the same cooker 1 : 5/4 with water (or sub up to half the water with stock) for 0 minutes (just bring up to high pressure), followed by natural release. I use 3 cups dry to make 9 servings.

Depending on your spice budget, you might feel like you are getting more by applying right before eating. But, if you want the spice flavors to permeate the beans, it’s best to add them to the pot and warm them just a bit with the saute setting before adding the beans (or quinoa/rice/grains) and water.

If you eat meat, miscut ham is also a good addition to the beans before cooking – they will share lipids and flavors.

I use nooch as a topping for mine, to try to keep it vegan, but what I really like is a Mexican shredded cheese blend.

Rice’s Theorem prevents this… mostly.

Yeah, one of my college roommates knew a girl that died in a similar way. Feet on dash, air bag deploy, knees pulverized brain.

Not usually an issue for me. My heartburn trigger used to be acids (e.g. pizza sauce) too close to bed, but after I lost some weight, I basically don’t get heartburn anymore.

That said, I very much avoid anything with much hot spice. Anything that I think might burn on the way out doesn’t make it in.

I think you are supposed to have a couple of vegetable sides to go with a meat+cheese+pasta lasagna.

(But, sure, lasagna is a pretty flexible term, you could make one where an appropriately sized portion is a complete, balanced meal.)

There’s a party in my belly, and the whole bag of chips / cheeze puffs is invited!

Oh, don’t worry, open source (or, worse, Free Software) apps won’t be allowed on Android or Apple devices, soon. /s

I think co-ops are the way to go, but I can understand that someone “just” wanting to purchase the good/service might not see the difference between a co-op and corporation like Amazon.

I don’t think it’s a size issue really, but co-ops generally stay smaller in part due to how they are internally organized compared to a “median” corporation.

I also think that the government actually does a pretty good job at managing things; it’s just their failures are public. Private boondoggles might drive many people into bankruptcy, but they aren’t publicized any more than absolutely necessary.

Same here, but I can understand why someone might want to. For many people, even those that are comfortable on the command line, a GUI is a more comfortable experience. And, I have (rarely) needed to do some filesystem management as not my primary user account.

Nien! Blockade must be impenetrable. Nien! Nien! Nien!

Yeah, I run a mixed (unsupported) system from time to time for hw support, but testing requires a lot for admin time than stable does, so I can certainly see that moving to something more malleable than stable. Arguably that’s what I’m doing while my system is mixed, since it’s not (supported) Debian.

I installed Gentoo 2004.3 under the watchful eye of a Gentoo developer. (Gentoo did come in handy because I was using amd64 Opterons before most binary distributions had 64-bit packages.) It also took me about 3 years to get tired of rebuilding world “continuously”. I similarly switch to Debian on 2007-11 and I’m writing this from that installation, just migrated across several generations of hardware.

In the package, there will be a large square of herb-scented paper. This is the entire code for VüDü. Fold this paper into an origami shape resembling the animal you’re installing VüDü on (see also Appendix II). There are folding directions for common animals in the box. Make a hollow inside your paper badger and add a little more blood and hair from your animal.

Don’t lose the paper; replacements are expensive. There are recipes for homemade paper on the Web, but getting all the information correctly transcribed is a huge task, as this must be handwritten; furthermore, the requirements of herb collecting, drying, and curing are formidable.

Some man pages are more suitable than others.

If you install Linux properly you’ll get the experience with spirits you’ll need.

When you lose a system. It responds to ping; all services are up, but you can’t find the damn thing.

So, not a number so much as a limit to your organizational skill+effort.
