...cooking beans is not rocket science. You literally boil them until tender. If you really, honestly have crunchy beans after 2 hours of boiling after soaking all night, then you either have some mutant beans or you don’t actually know what the texture of tender beans is. Beans should not be mushy when you get done…

I don’t buy Costco sized bags, but it’s certainly possible that local sales affect the comparison. Generally I find that bags of beans are around half the price of canned beans when all is said and done, and because dried beans keep forever, I can buy a bunch when I find a sale to make them even cheaper.

For example, you can trade Jasmine rice for Basmati and lentils for quinoa for some savings, or try dried beans instead of canned.

Can you clarify what you mean by that last statement?

I agree that there can be frustrations. Frankly, though, in the last couple years I can’t think of many times that Lastpass has been unable to facilitate my login. Sometimes it doesn’t auto-fill until I actually activate the auto-fill from the menu, and once in great while I have to copy my password and paste it in,…

I don’t think we’re very far apart here. But the topic of discussion is “first dates.”

I mean, context is relevant, and sloppiness is definitely not the right look for a first date. But fashion is seriously intimidating for a lot of people, so rather than get it wrong with slacks and colors and layers, they fall back on simplicity, which often ends up being jeans and a sweater or a button up or…

Ahh, the infamous Parental Dinner Check. I wish I could convince some people that I’m doing well for myself and it’s not an insult for me to pick up the check.

I use a little bit of hair conditioner (or you can use shaving cream or gel or something) on my face. Not only does it make the shave smoother, but all of the hairs get caught up in the conditioner rather than flying all over the place.

Yeah, it’s a bit of a catch-22.

You’re reading into it too much.

I agree that they can be bad debt. But I don’t agree that they are necessarily bad.

I’d just add to this, and something that you touched on but didn’t really highlight/clarify: unsecured private student loans can be good debt if they are reasonably structured and represent some kind of tie to earning potential.
