  • Canned chickpeas are one of our staple proteins. Mash them into something resembling tuna, roast them to get them crunchy and toss them over couscous or rice, etc.

    Shallots are great if you’re cooking for one or two people and don’t expect to use an entire onion. We sometimes cut up a shallot and a tomato and saute them in some olive oil before dumping some pasta into the pan for a quick meal.

    Also +1 for potatoes and gourds. They’re in season and keep well on the counter.



  • Doesn’t matter. There’s no reason to not have nipples, and going down the evolution rabbit hole to change that isn’t worth the random mutations that are more likely to just straight up kill males during development or something. In biology fitness just means the ability to successfully reproduce, not actually who’s stronger or more efficient. Your entire body is built on the concept of, “good enough to get the job done.”




  • +1 for a tentative Overcooked suggestion but only if you think you and your cousin won’t strangle each other in a high stress scenario. I can’t play the game with my wife because she’s too goofy and I’m too serious.

    Bread and Fred looks like a lot of fun but I haven’t actually played it yet.

    Diablo 3 was fun playing couch co-op and reminded me more than a little bit of playing Gauntlet in the good old days.













  • Last time I tried the Feynman technique I was escorted from the building for impersonating a professor.

    Seriously though, back in college I used the Leitner system until I was comfortable enough with the info that I could explain it in layman’s terms. Though back in the day I just called the Feynman technique the rubber duck method thanks to my brother who was in IT and actually got everyone rubber ducks one year as a gag stocking stuffer.


  • Yeah I miss the feel of real paper in my hands but I have hundreds of books in this little black box and I like to reread most of them so it’s handy. Sometimes I’ll dust off my Kindle if I’m planning on reading for more than a few hours: the matte screen is a lot easier on the eyes.

    That is a fun fact! I try to minimize the number of apps I have installed for that very reason, and the only things I have on my home screen are Moon+ Reader and my email, dialer, and texting apps.
