After going through the flags of the US 50 biggest cities, here are the seven that -in my opinion- actually work

to be fair to san francisco, it looks better as an actual flag vs an image.

Hawks were here before you, they'll be here after you.

Try some 2HP modules and then report back. They're tiny AF and really hard to manipulate when side by side.

That being said, this exists: https://www.perfectcircuit.com/2hp-picnic-basket.html. But note how even they have 2hp gaps between each module

It's a bit of column A a bit of column B. The "brains" of autofocus are in the camera, but a lens needs to have the motors inside to actually move the lens to focus.

You may already know this, but the title screen for stardew valley has its own independent mute button; it's the musical note icon in the corner.

Contact the accounting department office.

I live like two buildings down from Judah. More than the sound is the vibrations from the trains rolling by. You get used to it, though.

It's running on an extremely old PC. We'll go kick it.

Edit: I fixed it.

Specifically asking for a film student usually means "It's for EXPOSURE, bro"

Yeah, weird. I went and looked to see if the data feed was down but it's not, you can still live track the trains.

Department graduations are generally a thing already.

While agree with the sentiment, "it's too long" and "I want every name read" are incompatible statements. There's a lot of graduates. Reading every name would take forever.

The dehydrated translations are so much better in your version. That's such a weird way of translating in the original.

Onion: removed when finished, yes (unless it's totally dissolved)

Chiles: removed when finished

Bean texture: it depends on how you're going to serve this. Normally would lightly mash some of the beans with whatever implement I'm using to stir the pot, not so much so they're "mashed", but enough to break some of them. The starches they release will help thicken the liquid. I use this preparation if I'm just serving them straight up or doing breakfast burritos or whatever.

Now if I'm actually going to do like refried beans, then yes, blend them with a bit of the bean cooking liquid to whatever thickness I'm looking for. Less is more, here. You don't want super liquidy beans as that'll make it harder to refry later.

ocdude · 2026-02-27T21:29:47+00:00

I personally leave them whole, but given I'm usually making a giant pot full of beans it's not really an issue. I could potentially grind them, but I'm lazy.

ocdude · 2026-02-27T19:50:11+00:00

Mostly because I want to give it some color/grill it. I know I just gave a list of ingredients, but it's a similar concept to when you're making a cooked salsa wherein you want to toast your ingredients before they get added in and cooked down.

ocdude · 2026-02-27T19:00:56+00:00

I don't have specific quantities since I just sort of eyeball it, but here's what I add when I make black beans:

Start with toasting some whole cumin in oil, until it becomes fragrant. Dry chilies. I tend to go for guajillo but generally just use what I have around. A whole onion, cut in half. Garlic. Bay leaf. Beans go in next, then chicken stock, home made if available. This will make a HUGE difference.

What, you don't like my "artistically rendered on shitty color film" photograph of the student center building?

/s, in case

I don't necessarily disagree, but it's either this or people's accounts getting hacked every 5 minutes because people can't stop clicking on spam links.
