You can get lethal effects from nicotine, alcohol, bleach, ammonia, and many, many combinations of chemicals that are available with, at most, age verification.

I'm all for people educating themselves as much as they want, from whatever sources they trust, but bodily autonomy DEMANDS someone be able to direct their own medication, including gender affirming medication. Doctor-as-gatekeeper is, IMO, not as good a model as Doctor-as-confidant-and-educator.

Sometimes strikes have better worker protections than mass quitting.

Also, usually besides "not doing the work", strikes usually involve engaging in some practices (e.g. picket lines) to prevent or inhibit anyone else from "doing the work". That's not true of mass quitting.

I've never been in a position where I could earn a pension. But, vestment of employer contributions to my 401k used to be contingent on years of continuous employment. Quitting and being rehired would have resulted in losing all funds that hadn't yet vested.

But, yes, mass quitting is an option, particularly when legal and union protections are little or non-existent.

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.

• Pumpkin
• Washing Machine
• Computer

It's a natural progression, which only leaves one suspect.

I do believe she eventually grows to the age of consent, but I could be wrong.

Of course, I was saying "only female" is Sassette erasure. I was not saying "only mating prospect" is Sassette erasure.

I was just remembering her from my childhood. I wasn't up on my Sassette lore. I found a reference that says she was created the same way Smurfette was, which surprised me.

Bro, just put the bones in the right place, and apply AnCEF until internal medicine takes the case.

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

This is Sassette erasure and I won't stand for it! /s
