Frozen or canned vegetables are cheap and readily available. Cheap beans, either canned or dried. All common items in any restaurants. And in 40 minutes I can have a loaf of oatmeal bread to go with it all. And that includes making the oat flour from scratch with cardboard box of oat meal breakfast cereal.
You want more fiber than that, I will need to fall a dead maple tree I didn’t get dropped this past summer.
Restaurants like to serve vegetables because they are cheap, easy to prepare (mostly), fast to cook, and filling. Far more profitable to sell than a steak. That those same vegetables are high in fiber, is an accident to them.
As a person who needs to take supplemental iron pills every day, constipation is an old friend and I’m always eating as much fibre as possible to combat it.
I got an old Nitro 5 with a rickity old 500gig hard drive. Will a Crucial BX500 1TB 3D NAND SATA 2.5-Inch Internal SSD be a good Christmas present for it?
Probably should get something while prices are somewhat more reasonable.
That was more than I got. It’s part of the reason that the state I practiced in required 2 years as an EMT B before you could go to school to become a medic. At least you knew what you were in for before they spent the time on you.
Got news for you, medics and cops ain’t trained for dealing with dead people. The cops I worked around as a medic were some of the most squeamish people at messy scenes.
Nor are you trained to climb up out of a drainage ditch and explain to a Mother that her 13 year old son is dead down there, pinned under a 4-wheeler, and not me or god can fix it. (A tee shirt I got) Or a family about why their son and brother is hanging 30 feet up in the air by a rope. (Another tee shirt I got)
I got a closet with maybe a tiny bit more of my share of tee shirts. But I sure as hell wasn’t trained for any of them.
Does FreeDoom count? It’s as close to the original as I can get anymore.
Shouldn’t be hard for anyone from Europe. The EU already wants to monitor all the social media anyway. Plus age restrictions. The Aussie’s aren’t far behind either. And they have age restrictions now.
sudo is asking for permission. It’s su that is straight up pillaging.
Well, a terminal can be pure porn.
Those are cheap and rugged. I bought a reconditioned Chromebook Think Pad for $30. I want to put Linux on it. But I haven’t found my 'roundtoit yet.
The Distro Wars have already been raging for decades now.
Anime? Manga? Tentacle?
Whatever type it’s probably esoteric and somehow involves the command line.
I’m not a doctor. I was a medic for 15 years. Generally we, (at least I did), always try to explain things if there is time. But the time I have to explain what’s happening and why can be in very short supply as a medic. Sometimes it’s an “Oh shit! We gotta go! We gotta go NOW!” moment. Plus it’s just you and me in the back. So I was often busier than a one handed milk maid at milking time and had very little time for pleasantries.
And doctors face their own time crunch. If you have ever paid attention to the scheduling your appointment, they are in 15 minute blocks. And then they need to be on to the next patient while trying to find the time to chart their encounter with you. There are few of them and an endless supply of patients. And they need to keep that assembly line moving. If they spent as much time with their patients as THEY would like, imagine how long you would be sitting in that waiting room. You better bring drinks and a sandwich. Possibly a blanket.
And there ain’t any medical system that has enough doctors anywhere on this planet either to make things better for the doctors or the patients.
Yep. Even as a mere medic, we are supposed to at least consider any woman from 9 to 99 could be pregnant. And it fast and easy to ask, assuming a responsive patient. The overwhelming number of times it didn’t play into my treatment plan doesn’t matter. All it takes is just one time to not consider it and someone can be severely injured or dead because I didn’t consider it. If I had any doubt about pregnant or not, I asked the patient straight up.
“Heros” seldom are.
And real heros are getting very scarce.
It’s a calculated risk. But I think they will be just fine when they turn back to their base consumers. And the consumers will welcome them back. Happens all the time. nVidia and crypto Hoe’s are the latest example.
So their not shutting down, just focusing on AI idiots until the bubble busts and then they will turn back to consumers…
Rules of Acquisition #1,261-- Always fuck over the idiots in the market. And when you’ve taken all their money, go back to your base with inflated prices.
Yep. Mine too. At this point it’s the best modern take on Gnome 2.
I spent years running Ubuntu. I’ve typed ‘sudo apt-get install’ so many times I got carpel fingernail from doing it. ‘sudo dnf install’ is less typing and could have saved my fingernails. Now I use Kinonite and have all updates set to automatic and I very seldom even need to do anything at all.
Yes, I’m old, lazy, and can’t be bothered anymore. Why do you ask? ;)
Anything from soups to salads.
It being winter right now, I tend to make soups and chilis. In fact, my Wife made a big slow cooker full of chili. We ate that for 2 days and froze the leftovers, (chili freezes very well). A few days before that, I made chicken soup. In addition to the onions and celery, (for god’s sake don’t throw out the leaves! They taste more like celery than the stalks). I added a whole bag of frozen mixed vegetables and 2 small potatoes, (peeled and cubed and an awesome source of vitamins and soluble fiber), that needed to go. And for meat, all I needed was 2 chicken thighs cut up into spoon sized pieces. Vegetable curries are awesome. Stir fries are easy, cheap, and fast. (If you don’t own a wok, get you a carbon steel wok. Next to a good cast iron dutch oven, a wok is the most versatile cooking pot you can own). And don’t forget root vegetables, rutabagas, parsnips, turnips, and beets. They not only can be tossed into soups, well maybe not the beets, but all of the are awesome roasted too. You can look up recipes online, but you really don’t need a recipe for chicken soup. Just some basic spices and seasonings.
I will leave you with my recipe for oatmeal bread. And for god’s sake, don’t buy expensive oat flour from the store instead make your own in a blender in a minute or less from dirt cheap rolled oats. You want this quick bread ‘rustic’.
Ingredients for Oatmeal Bread Recipe: 2 eggs. 150 g yogurt/5 oz. half a teaspoon of salt. 2 cups + 0.5 cups/275-280 grams of rolled oats. 9.8 oz. grind in a blender. 1 tbsp baking powder. Add any nuts and seeds to taste-- or not. Dealer’s Choice
Grease you bread pan well. I use silicone bread pans now Bake in a preheated oven at 180C/360F for 25 minutes.
The yogurt can be either plain or a flavored yogurt. I like either yogurt with honey or vanilla myself. This make a stiff dough, so have a sturdy spoon.
