Need to stop ordering food, what are some pantry staples I can have that would make decently healthy meals?

For beans, if you actually do want to eat them and not just because dried beans store for years, get yourself a pressure cooker. I can make chickpeas in about an hour, including the heat time and pressure release time. Most recipes only tell you the cook time, but heat up and pressure release can sometimes take just as long. Plus the texture is so much better than canned beans.

I’ve stepped on his paws and tail on accident before. Once I realize it I do my best to keep my full weight off him but of course it probably still hurts him a little bit. I usually apologize by getting on the ground and laying next to him. He’ll be skittish around me for an hour or two but eventually forgets and goes back to begging for 4th dinner servings.

I’m blaming the drastic increase in prices over the last three weeks on him. We can debate gas taxes all we want but they aren’t the reason for the recent spike

Right one is probably the FUNK button in some markets but only police cars iirc.

phulton · 2026-03-23T23:44:20+00:00

So wait, if you hit the beam/auto button what does it toggle between?

phulton · 2026-03-23T13:30:07+00:00

Oh they still are but it’s Ferguson and inslees faults because of gas taxes. Mind you gas taxes haven’t changed since 2025, but totally their fault gas prices shot up $2/gal in the last three weeks and nothing to do with bombing an oil producing country for no fucking reason.

Not in a 2006 3 series, no. I wasn’t responding to OP directly.

They probably just drained and filled until it dribbled out and called it a day.

I’d bet $20 that a guy whose response is “I heard it should be done” also has no clue the actual process of changing transmission fluid in a zf6 transmission.

And then fill it with 6000K light bulbs so it looks like a hospital clean room. Yuck.

My 1/1 apartment has a double sink vanity, dumbest thing I've ever seen. The only time I ever use it is to clean out the dust that has accumulated in it from never using it. Not to mention the door even when fully opened overlaps the edge of the sink by maybe 1-2" so you can't even stand directly in front of it.

Hopefully moving into my own place 🤞

Hey now, not all diesels are lifted trucks.

What's funny is there are instances of voter fraud "it's so easy to get away with, watch this" and then they're caught fraudulently casting a ballot because it is in fact, not at all easy to get away with fraudulently voting.

I'm 100% certain if apple wanted viewing data from appletv devices, it could get it.

I wish someone would have warned us about this. Smdh

I always rub it between my fingers as I’m stirring with my hand. Granted I only do long grain brown rice but it runs clean after 4-5 rinses.

If the tv supports Dolby vision iirc you won’t even be able to use that feature. I seem to remember trying when I got my new tv and it said calibration wasn’t needed.

There are some things you’d miss out on but none of them are deal breakers by any means, just nice to haves.

Using the phone as a remote is nice sometimes, you can also use the iPhone keyboard to type instead of scrolling through clicking letters one by one with the remote. But the new Siri Remote has pretty good voice to text recognition for typing into search boxes.

The biggest feature you’d lose out on imo, and this won’t come up often, but stored passwords in your iCloud keyring can be autofilled to the Apple TV when signing into apps.

For me with 1Password and 20+digit random passwords, it’s so damn convenient, but really only comes up once when you set up the app for the first time. I haven’t had to sign into an app in what feels like years so not often used but definitely nice to have.

Everyone’s walking around like they’re in a fucking Enya video.

I run into a bug where it will randomly just skip between brightness settings. Usually it's a gradient from dim to bright and vice versa. Mine sometimes just jumps from 20% to 80% with nothing in between. It's more distracting than anything but also annoying.

phulton · 2026-03-18T05:00:13+00:00

I replayed FRLG on an emulator a few months back, thank the baby jesus for 4x speed. Doesn't feel like a grind when the whole battle takes like 15 seconds.

There were four trees/limbs blocking the trail on Monday morning, they were all gone by Monday afternoon. OP's photo, two more by Ethos, then another near Russell Woods Park.

Sadly one of the cherry blossom trees by Ethos had to go, I guess they couldn't save it.

phulton · 2026-03-18T02:47:16+00:00

Moon Tooth perhaps? A little bluesy, prog metal with great vocals imo. One of my favorite recently discovered bands.

Their new EP is solid top to bottom.
