Hey chat is it a good thing if:

  • there’s a looming energy crisis
  • a bunch of crops are having really low yields
  • there are lakes and rivers completely drying up
  • we’re about to enter a super El Niño
  • data/fusion centers are polluting/consuming the water/air en masse
  • thousands of people have died in India due to heat before summer’s even officially hit
  • and there’s another pandemic brewing in Africa just prior to millions of people traveling for the World Cup?

How long do we have before shit starts to break down due to lack of food and water, even in the imperial core? I give it less than a year at best.

embrace the beans and rice lifestyle

Been doing that, wondering if I shouldn't invest in a rice cooker to make fresh white rice. So far though goya's rice you simmer on the stovetop has been pretty tasty.

Get an affordable micom rice cooker and you'll never look back.

I got a $40 cuckoo model and the only thing I'm missing compared to the bougie zojirushi models is a GABA rice setting.

I got a $25 one that I'll saute vegetables and throw rice, water, and a can of beans in, and I'll have a meal ready for me when I get home. I eat rice and beans of some kind almost once a day, so getting a rice cooker was a pretty easy call for me even though I'm not really a kitchen appliance guy

I think every home needs a good too many small kitchen appliances.

That's the neat fact. We don't I made it myself.

Rice cookers can be had for relatively cheap at your local cheap big store (depends on the country, but there's always one). If you have the disposable income you can get those fancy Japanese ones, but I've never thought it was worth the money.
