Beans Are a Vegetable: an Overanalysis (lemmy.ca)

“Of course beans count as a vegetable!” I said to my wife. We have this house rule that it’s okay to eat mac and cheese for dinner so long as you add a vegetable. If I may ‘spill the beans’, I’m obsessed with them. Each one is tastier than the last: garbanzo bean, black bean, kidney. The butter bean, which is just...

Legumes are a type of vegetable.

The hill I WILL die on is that mushrooms, as a fungus, are not.

Lodge is well liked, and the America’s Test Kitchen folks rated the Cuisinart dutch oven highly, it’s just slightly heavier than Le Creuset.

Not unusual… Boring, Oregon is paired with Dull, Scotland, and now they have both teamed up with Bland Shire, New South Wales.

Ezell’s Chicken, but only in Seattle and Beaverton, OR.

The chicken is amazing, but there are issues with the original owner and a contentious lawsuit. :(

Heaven Sent might be better, but they also aren’t down here in Oregon yet. :)

Nobody gets out of high school and gets the job they want when they grow up. ;)

Your first job is going to suck. It’s going to be hard work. The pay and hours are not going to be great. You won’t be respected as an employee or often as a human being.

What it’s going to teach you are organizational skills. Show up on time. Do the best job you can do. Admit your mistakes and learn from them.

Carry what you learn there to the next job and the next job. Do better each time. Learn new skills. Find jobs that interest you.

If you can, go to college for a STEM degree, network with other people and employers, and when you get out of college, you can do what you want.

If college isn’t for you, find a trade you’re good at and enroll in trade school. Plumbers, electrictians, HVAC techs, mechanics are never out of work.

Avoid: Retail work. Restaurant work. It will break you. Fine for when you’re in school, not if you’re out of school.

What's the point of buying new phones every years?

Other than your carrier give it for free or cheap, I don’t really see the reason why should you buy new phone. I’ve been using Redmi Note 9 for past 3 years and recently got my had on Poco F5. I don’t see the point of my ‘upgrade’. I sold it and come back to my Note 9. Gaming? Most of them are p2w or microtransaction...

The big reason is updates. Phones will only get Android and security updates for so long. After that point, you buy a new phone or run the risk of being exposed.
