  • SNES was the ultimate From childhood until the release of Nintendo 64
  • In high school it was a PC with a mouse and keyboard.
  • Now it's a PC with an xbox controller. Using a mouse and keyboard reminds me too much of work.

There is a PS5, a Switch, and a Steamdeck, in the house plus several more devices in the garage. I'll watch other people play but gaming on dedicated hardware just doesn't grab me. I've never tried gaming on a phone.

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.

What is this in rebuttal to? I don't see any claim of being open source on https://grayjay.app/.

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.

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!

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 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.

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

I'm cis but I'm skinny enough this was super helpful for me regardless of my GAAB. Thanks.

I bet they meant "male-bodied non-binary person."

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.
