  • Is the Steam Deck still worth it in 2025? I'd argue yes — but with caveats

    Jump

  • Maybe outdated for future CPU and GPU hungry games.The same emulators that run now will continue to do so as will very likely indie titles.In the end it depends on what you want to do with the SD.

  • Off-topic, but on-comment:an amazing book with an intriguing story!To those who like urban fantasy I wholeheartedly recommend it.

  • What meals do you cook when very low on money?

    Jump

  • Dunno. What I can say is that it's not no concern.https://edition.cnn.com/2025/05/15/health/arsenic-cadmium-rice-wellnessAdd the methane production and use of water to the equation and beans or pulses in general look quite a bit better in terms of environmental or individual health.And last but not least rice contains very little protein whereas pulses are rich in protein.But because pulses typically are low on some protein like methionine and cysteine, grain is a indeed a good addition to a diet based on pulses.Yet I'd pick oats over rice for that part.

  • Agreed! Pulses in general allow for a healthy and affordable diet.I'm not a proponent of rice mainly for the way it gets produced (lots of water needed and methane emitted in the process) and the fact it's a hyperaccumulator of arsenic. About all these things I don't need to worry when picking pulses.But each to their own and some variety rarely is a bad idea.

  • Makes sense. Maybe I'm just trying to be too efficient.

  • Soak the dried beans over night and the lentils at least for 2 or 3 hours.Fry an onion and some cloves of garlic in oil. I prefer olive oil, but take whatever is available.Add a good amount of canned tomatoes to it - canned tomatoes are typically more affordable than fresh ones while tasting better at the same time due to typically being harvested and processed when being ripe. Also they can be bought in bulk due to the long shelf-life.Put some spices in: pepper, cumin, oregano, thyme, cardamom go well with it, or whatever you like. If the fancier spices are too expensive, just pepper does quite well.Finally add whatever vegetables are available and affordable: bell peppers, carrots, mushrooms, green squash, whatever you can get and like.If you can get some minced meat, put it in the pot/pan before you add the canned tomatoes. The same goes for sausages: slice the sausages and roast them gently; it improves the taste.More affordable than minced meat (potentially healthier than sausages) and a good source of protein (next to the pulses, which contain a nice amount of protein already) would be eggs.Crack one, two, three eggs into the pan, put a lid on and let it cook for around 10 minutes. The result is close to eggs Benedict ;)Have fun and hang in there!

  • While pasta might contain calories and some protein, there's a lack of other nutrients.I advice going for pulses instead of pasta.Dried pulses have a long shelf-life so they can be bought in bulk to reduce the price per meal.

  • +1 for the beans (or lentils, or just any pulses fwiw), but why the rice?Pulses contain carbohydrates, but much more protein than rice and as rice is a hyperaccumulator of arsenic and pulses aren't, wouldn't that make a diet centred around pulses healthy while still affordable?Put some canned tomatoes, vegetables, onions, garlic, spices or whatever else is available and affordable to the beans and you have a nice enough and quite healthy meal.

    Jump

  • Beans shouldn't be much more pricey, give you less worry about arsenic and contain a fair amount more protein than rice.If affordable, I'd pick beans over rice any day.Big bags of dried beans it is!

  • While ionized particles stick to other things, they do not really stick together - at least if they are the same type of particles or rather carry the same type of charge, respectively.

  • Aren't most US Americans immigrants if you just go back in time long enough?Hell, even Native Americans must've immigrated somewhen.It's all about 'I got mine, fuck you!' attitude.

  • Cats can drink salt water

    Jump

  • I suppose that's only a short-term effect.Long-term prognosis should be the oceans getting saltier because of the rivers carrying salt into the oceans until the equilibrium between salt being carried into the oceans and salt being sedimented at the ocean bed has been restored.Well, in geological time frames 'short-term' can be quite a long timespan.

  • pardons for sale

  • It's a dangerous game tho.It can very well invalidate the life of the pardoned as well, if one of the aggrieved party has nothing left to lose because of that wage theft.I wonder how long Donvict can continue before he gets stopped for good.

  • January 6 rioter who was pardoned by Trump arrested for burglary

    Jump

  • Make an educated guess.Capitol rioters already proved they don't care about the law.Undocumented immigrants do care, because they don't want to attract attention.I know whom to bet on.
