    Unlimited bankruptcy on ranchers. There's no bigger or more entrenched group of reactionaries in this region.

        Their hobbies include watching Yellowstone and not getting called by their grandkids. Paragons of society.

    Meanwhile they are finding that mice who drink raw milk from infected cows have their organs infected with bird flu, and people are now trying to get raw milk specifically to infect themselves with it. ancap-good

    I became vegan-edge at the beginning of this year. I wasn't sure if I was gonna keep it up or ""relapse"" but this is providing me a strong incentive to keep going. I'll eat a million cans of beans before risking this nasty shit. Too bad everyone I live with still eats dairy/meat.

      Try throwing rinsed beans in the airfryer. 10 minutes at 400F does the trick for most types.

      Makes a delicious crunchy topping or filling for wraps!

        What I do is, about once a week I spend about 4 hours making a huge dish that lasts me all week. I have a big pot. I don't know how many gallons it is. Probably 10. Takes up an entire shelf in the fridge. I spend the afternoon dicing vegetables and watching the kid. Onions, tomatoes, peppers, carrots, celery, fresh garlic and sometimes other vegetables. Shitake mushrooms if I have them soaked overnight. I zest and squeeze citrus into the pot along with the veggies. The pot is about 1/3 full of veggies. I cook the veggies on a low heat in a shallow pool of water until they're transluscent, stirring as I go. Then I add about 4 or 5 different types of beans, usually canned because I'm lazy, but sometimes rinsed. Black beans, red beans, pinto beans, cannelini beans. Then I turn the heat up on high for the last 10 minutes and keep stirring, adding spices, usually garlic powder, onion powder, sazon, pepper, adobo, cumin. Then I add herbs right at the end. Usually a whole bag of fresh chopped cilantro. If I have any leftover beans that wouldn't fit in the pot, I blend them into a hummus to dip tortilla chips in, or put on top of a salad. Throughout the week, when I want to eat the beans, I'll cook either some rice or pasta to put them on. But sometimes I'll just have the bean soup by itself microwaved with a little nutritional yeast or hot sauce something.

          Bwaaa by cooking them in water you're restricting the cooking temperature to 212F which is going to prevent significant maillard reaction/browning from occurring, and you're robbing yourself of savory flavor

          at the very least fry the onions in oil, then the garlic for like a minute, before adding the water

          P.s. if you dice an onion and toss it in oil and put it in the oven for like 2 hours at 225F you get caramelized onion (i mean check on it and stir every 30 minutes idk how your oven be)

          I highly recommend getting an instant pot or sth and cooking dry beans - it'll pay for itself pretty quickly plus there are lots of really good recipes with it, esp Indian food. You can probably find one on Craigslist/marketplace for like $30-40 esp if you're patient

        I assume you mean rinsed canned (or otherwise cooked) beans?

            Highly recommend an instant pot - you don't even need to soak beans and it's really not much effort! Mine paid for itself very quickly, bought it on craigslist for $40. Dried beans are much cheaper and easier to store than canned

    At times like these, where timely intervention and information campaigns could really make a difference, I'm extra grateful that we have the Magic Conch Shell running the CDC magic-conch-shell

    The fact that a flu pandemic could kill up to 200 million USians and the strategy seems to be "let er rip" is wild. Can't inconvenience ranchers and factory farms even if not doing so is an existential threat to the state

    So what is their plan when this becomes a full blown pandemic? I mean, they'll do nothing to prevent it, obviously, but how will they distract the public? Will this be a Chinese bioweapon or a Russian bioweapon?
