This a thousand times. I come from a Latin family and we eat large quantities or rice, but it wasn’t until I moved to Hawaii and encountered a more devoted rice eating population that I learned the “first knuckle method”.

Works very well for brown rice. I was taught this method when I lived in Hawaii in the 1990s, and have been using it since—now a mother, and this is how I taught my daughter to cook rice.

This offer good, whether you are a man or woman. That link is priceless.

This a thousand times. This wasn’t a logical discourse that ends with everyone from every background shaking hands and going to the pub together. This douche canoe would like to spout Nazi rhetoric that would end with everyone not like him leaving the region—and wants no consequences. Fuck that shit.

They deserve all the love possible—reporting on issues impacting more sparsely populated parts of the West is thankless work, and obviously a labor of love. :)

High Country News has done great articles on Sagebrush Rebellion (which is what the Bundy’s have been participating in and fomenting).

The problem is that a sizable portion of the population has already bought into autocracy as a solution, Trump would not have been elected if that weren’t the case:

I think this is an interesting historical anecdote (the change in mindset from being resident of a state to resident of a country)—but I am not sure how that relates to intentionally renaming MLK Day (a Federal Holiday) to Great American’s Day? I suspect I must be missing something painfully obvious, so if that’s the…

This. If the bloviated tangerine won’t respond using proper channels, I suppose Twitter it is...

OMG I love you.

While I agree creating a phone app for DND may be one of the biggest wastes of dev time in the last year, I think her harping on sleep is actually reasonable. Plenty of folks in tech and other industries work insane hours, which can come at the price of stealing from sleep hours. I myself struggle with this, and if…

Should we be counting the days until some sort of coup? I’m in no way suggesting I think this is a good outcome (to be very clear: I do not think that would be a good plan, nor do I support such actions in any way, shape or form) , but between the very public contradiction of our intelligence communities, and…

You’ll have to forgive how poorly I articulate this—I was once incredibly slim and am now larger and pre-diabetic, so this is what my doctor has explained to me—and yes, my journey to bad health started out with a pretty clean diet in childhood, not too bad in my 20s, to atrocious in my 30s, and now here I am in my…

Super sad to see you don’t have fruit listed, and I want to make a case for why fruit should also be part of the safe stay full tool kit. I’m pre-diabetic and I’ve also been told by my doctor that if I am eating fruit (not smoothies, not jam, not juice), I am gaining a wealth of nutrients and fiber that will overall…

I’m waiting for the genuine in depth analysis of “why” the West Coast and parts of New England should secede and petition to join Canada or become our own little country, as well as the “how” to accomplish this. I bring this up because we are truly, at the very least, 2 different countries, with diametrically opposed…

Ouch you will need the skills of someone who is a far better seamstress than I am! My initial thought is that jersey material likely wouldn’t do well trying to replace those gromets, but I could be wrong.

Thank you! I too needed a brown-haired, brown-eyed heroine, to see myself!

Bisexual, biracial, born in 1968. Princess Leia was “my” princess, a heroine with brown hair and eyes at a time when I desperately needed to see this—and she embodied the type of femme I turned out to be: not a delicate flower, occasionally needed help, and spoke her mind in a strong voice.

There is no “old enough to know better”, if you could have remembered, you would have. The pill is great except for that one thing about remembering to take it every day—seems like it should be easier and the pace of life makes it challenging sometimes! This is actually why daughter got an IUD, she found it more…

You know, after 100+ years like this, I don’t think waiting for Best Coast to change the rest of the country is having any impact. And we are most definitely being held back from the society we would like to be.
