I've experimented with this a little as my rice and bean consumption has also risen dramatically in the last few years. When using canned beans, it's easy to just add rice and either water, stock, or undrained cans of diced tomatoes(and always onion!) and pressure cook it all together.

When making the beans from dry, I'll just pressure cook for 30 min after soaking all night, then add the other ingredients and pressure cooker another 10-15 minutes, depending on type of rice. I'll usually simmer it for awhile after the pressure releases. It's a staple in our house! Mix up the seasonings and/or hot sauces and it's so satisfying.

IIRC, the reason sodium batteries would be better is we have abundant stocks of sodium, whereas the raw materials for most other batteries are limited and require more destructive mining. John Oliver just covered some of this on his show last Sunday. If that tech can be improved, hopefully there won't be any deep sea mining for more raw materials!

Tbf, they do have similar faces. They both did a solid job in their roles imho, just the occasional over-acting.

Wow... thanks for more context! So a state agency error results in the judge and prosecutor not having the correct information, but how does the defense attorney not look that up? Maybe overworked, but I would hope for more... And Harris should've spoken up himself that the suspension was lifted on this date by this agency! He could've also just said- I'm driving legally right now. That would have allowed the lawyers to look into it more.

Do you mean philistines?? And wtf are "sea people"? I'm thoroughly confused by all of your comments, as they make no sense.

I just check and there's a recent gem- "I was excited to read this book, but disappointed when I saw the coupons for child coffins." Doing the lord's work! Lmao

You can sail the high seas for Fallout. It's worth it!

Appreciate the link! I need to learn some other methods so this is perfect for me.

Maron is still going strong, thankfully. I like Seinfeld's Netflix show, but haven't seen any stand up of his for years... I could see it being rough.

Ooph, legit reddit vibes with that exchange, as I hadn't seen BTB referenced on lemmy yet. I need to check out that episode too! Appreciate it

Anything could have enough significance to warrant further study. If it has societal implications or environmental concerns, it could be deemed worthy. I've read some guidelines on how to read scientific papers, but don't have the link on me. The scientists are supposed to list their biases, but it's kind of on the honor system, I think.

On your last question, while changing reps to at-large would certainly help with gerrymandering, that would make it more difficult for reps to have solid relationships with their constituents. It benefits both the constituents who don't have to travel as far(although phone calls and emails would still theoretically work) to connect with their rep, but also allows the rep to tour their area more frequently and be able to handle specific, local issues more effectively. There are tradeoffs with everything though, so it might work better overall. It's just so hard to change the status quo, which goes for most things that people have listed here.
