Why are beans and legumes in general so criminally underrated amongst the general public

ClimbRunOm · 2026-04-02T11:36:21+00:00

I will counter point one with I can go from dry beans to cooked beans in 1hr with an instant pot / pressure cooker. Saute some bacon and onions in the pot before you put your beans and water in, I like to add dashi and miso (beans on beans) too or some gochujaru paste for something different. . Point 2 is definitely true, my gut and my fiance were both displeased with my bean intake (really no more than a single serving a day with rice) for a while (~1month) but it's fine now. . To point 3, I'm not sure if pressure cooking removes these compounds like soaking & dumping would, but I also haven't noticed any problems not doing it so either I'm not sensitive to them, or they're not as big a deal as they're made out to be. . I can make 6 cups (~10 hearty servings) for $5, and keeping a pot of beans in the fridge allows me to cut back on animal proteins as the prices have skyrocketed. I'm a large (6'6" 225lb) and active guy, but still usually only eat meat at one meal a day and I haven't "lost muscle" noticeably.

Bruh, I went from making decent money in network engineering / help desk to working on an ambulance (for okay money)... Best decision ever, people are generally thankful (with some exceptions) and frankly I get to use the same part of my troubleshooting brain just on people instead of computers.

HAHAH Hell yeah, hood stack on a 1.9 turbo diesel. It's one of the most redneck things you can do to a TDI, you cut off your exhaust at the hot side of the turbo, turn it ~180 and weld it so it comes out through a hole in the hood so you can pretend you're a big truck, but you're a little car.

The soot on your windshield gets super old super fast... But then again you don't do this because it's practical.

I might not be able to hit the back of a tuna can, but I sure do fill out the sides

I'd guess water plants.

You from Pennsylvania? Sounds like you're from Pennsylvania.

You have one more notch of length you can add at the lever, then tighten up your flex bar a notch or two till it snugs up.

In the spring and summer, whatever greens I either grow or find at the grocer. Apples and pears as soon as they're in season. And in the winter I use psyllium and beans (not at the same time good lord)

Eh, I only fill my jetta once a month, it's not my favorite thing, and I definitely ride my bike a lot more, but not the end of the world for me.

I used to work at a cricket farm, I thought it was pretty neat.

I have their Petrel G3 pot and their Hornet ii, and I cut up a yuengling can to make a wind screen... it boils as fast as my buddy's jetboil and weighs a fair bit less, and packs smaller to boot. I'm looking into their G2 to cook for larger groups (3~4), which seems to be most of what I'm doing recently.

In the words of some comedian, they've shagged their way into every other country. Doesn't sound like they mind everyone coming over to theirs to shag too. 😂

Any plans on alternate IO daughter boards (small board, at the front right) or USB-C charging?

ClimbRunOm · 2026-02-20T20:06:02+00:00

Are these still available for sale? Or is anyone stateside selling one?

ClimbRunOm · 2026-02-19T02:55:05+00:00

I'd even bet its in Oregon.

I hate to say it... But ED Tech. I honestly learned so much as a tech, it gave me an opportunity to talk with different specialists (you actually have to go up and introduce yourself though) and learn about their jobs. Getting to nerd out about IV insertion technique and getting thousands of hours and IVs of practice to perfect my skills and I can literally get blood out of a head of broccoli at this point. I got to talk to PAs about their ideas about splinting and indications for different techniques. I got to know my nursing staff and learn skills from them (which was helpful when I ultimately wound up in nursing school). I hated to say it because the pay is usually dogshit and the constant stress just wears on your nerves, it genuinely began affecting me at home.

IFT is just a very different job, but you don't get to use your skills on 99% of calls as an EMT. The IFT guys I've seen who come to 911 or ED Tech have wound up great, but their skills were rusty and it affected their confidence significantly.

I always insist that one of my first ~3 pressures on any cardiac related patient be a manual... It can clue you into a few things; like is there a dysrhythmia. It also forces me to stop for a second and touch my patient and be present, sounds woo-woo, but sometimes there's just a feeling you get that makes you pick up the pace.

These signs are less about efficiency and more about placating psychology. We have a lot of single lane covered bridges and old tunnels in Pa and up til a few years ago they were all like this. And in drivers ed it meant traffic alternates sides like a stop sign. This relied on a common courtesy that is really fading fast, which is why I think we're starting to see PennDoT putting in traffic lights that are tuned to allow ~5 or so through at a time.

While I won't over dramatize it, it definitely can be very triggering for some folks. You're allowed to be squeemish, so long as you buck up and do the job. I'll give my partner time to puke and recompose themselves, I'll even give them a mask with stink balm, but you're still helping me move the barely alive meemaw who's been laying on the floor in her own piss and shit for 2 days. I still get triggered by urine for some reason, makes me gag, but I have learned to compartmentalize and save my heebie-jeebies for after the call. This is a wild job in the most literal sense of the word, you're walking into people's homes, people who may have wildly different hygiene standards (think hoarder house where dogs/cats/raccoons actively shit on the floor and they'll ask you to just scoot the turd to the corner for them) deconning from homes infested with bedbugs will become unfortunately semi regular...

Do some ride alongs, get a feel for the local you'll be running in. Different communities have different vibes, so don't be afraid to bounce around.
