  • Cooking rice is a notoriously hard problem (and for that reason I recommend noodles instead) but my tip is:

    • Don’t (!) do the 2:1 thing where you mix 2 cups of water with 1 cup of rice. Some of the water will boil off and the ratio will be distorted, except if you close your cooking pot, in which case it begins to foam like crazy and give you something to clean up
    • Do just fill a large pot with lots of water and make it boil; then when it boils add the rice and cook a certain time with the pot open. I’ve made the best rice this way.







  • I disagree. There’s a lot of reasons why people don’t have children, including:

    • emotional devastated youth (abandoned by parents, addicted to smartphones, misunderstood by society)
    • people can’t find partners for this reason
    • too much stress from too much work
    • wages are barely keeping up with inflation, and I project they will in fact not keep up in the long term in the US due to missing labor protections and decreasing demand for labor.
    • rising cost of living because politically, nobody really cares about the population.

    edit: sorry i realized i made these points US-specific but you were talking about russia, sorry.
