You'd better be eating rice every loving day to make a 300 dollar rice cooker worth investing in. Jesus that's a ton of money for a thing that heats water up.

I use this thing like 3-4 times a week for the past 10 years and it shows no sign of stopping, just gotta give it a good wipe down every now and then.

Tossing mixed frozen veggies in everything is easy mode too. I usually just fill a little tupperware thing in the microwave and dump it in my rice. I like putting canned green or wax beans in my pasta too (mmmm salt) but I forgot about that during pasta talk.

A lot of the time my food resembles kfc famous bowls, but only once or twice a week does it include mashed together potato flakes.

If you like mixed frozen veggies with rice then you should try making omurice. It's super simple and delicious and there's an even easier way of doing it instead of wrapping the rice up in the egg. Just make a mound of rice on a bowl (preferably a shallow bowl with raised edges), whisk an egg and a tablespoon of milk in a bowl, pour it into a pan and let it flatten out, sprinkle some cheese on top, when the egg is done and the cheese melts just flip it over on top of the rice to cover it.

Then grab a can of tomato soup, add half a can of water instead of a full can to make it a thicker sauce, then dump frozen veggies into it and cook the soup till the veggies are done. Pour however much of the soup you want into the side of the bowl the rice isn't in and use your fork to cut a piece of egg+rice under it and drag it into the soup and it's heaven.

If the hoarder kitchen involving the steak was up your alley, you owe it to yourself to see the 2 parter where he cooks an egg white omelet for Obama, and subsequently nearly catches his apartment on fire. The moment you realize his idea of “egg whites” nearly gave me a loving stroke.

My understanding was he was a married lawyer but also crippled by hoarding issues? His friends and wife got him back in meds and he really cleaned up on, all fronts. There’s a few videos a decade later of him cooking normal food in a normal kitchen. Although, if I recall the pizza he makes still ends up on the floor or something.

I’m intrigued where this new info came from. My understanding from years ago was that it was another house he’d owned that was trashed by tenants or something and he made funny videos there.

There’s a great clip of him in a full hazard suit scooping garbage out with a shovel.

Sweet christ, the scouts loving documented abuse cases themselves going back decades (and did nothing)

https://spreadsheets.latimes.com/boyscouts-cases/

There's an interactive map linked to a database containing documents going back to the 60's of people that were expelled from the scouts for molesting kids. There are names going back to the 40's (but no documents available). Thankfully the troop I was in for like a month didn't have any names on there that I recognized...too bad the karate instructor I had was busy trying to gently caress the 13 year old girls in my class (he's in prison for parole violations related to that case).

The full coverage, with links to various stories:

Los Angeles Times reporters spent a year delving into confidential files on suspected sexual abusers — files that had been locked away for decades by the Boy Scouts of America.

I'm going to bet that those are just the most egregious cases that are documented on there. There was a creepy older dude who was a leader in my troop in the 80s who was asked never come back by the other dads, and my troop leader, who is still there 30 years later, was really interested in making sure we all showered every morning at camp and always taught the indian lore merit badge that has us running around the woods in moccasins and loincloths.

I say this as somebody who had great times in Scouts, and somebody who was recently a cub scout leader for my son, BSA deservee whatever it has coming. The kid diddling coverup is a horrifying breach of trust, and stands on it's own, they've also spent the past decade pissing off everyone buy waffling on admitting Girls by denying and then accepting homosexuals, and by having a don't ask don't tell around religion.

It's too bad, because their program is pretty good and teaches some valuable stuff, but it is almost completely lost in the shuffle.

I'm actually okay with Bloomberg getting into the debate at this point. Not because I think he has good ideas or anything, but it's much easier for everyone to drag the motherfucker to shreds when he's standing right there. This is gonna be a debate of Sanders, Warren and to a lesser extent Biden just loving clowning on Bloomberg. Biden mostly cause Bloomberg has been critical of Obama for years (for very plutocratic and racist reasons) while airing ads that make it sound like Obama is endorsing him.

Warren and Sanders pretty much have to go for the throat because Bloomberg is Trump with a smoother vocabulary and if they can't gut him on this stage, then welp.

I'd argue that "NY Billionaire / former Republican Bloomberg buys Democratic nomination through blanket ads and no debates with the rest of the field" is a bigger problem though.

The DNC is a bunch of dumbfucks, but Bloomberg needs to be on the debate stage, based on the numbers he's getting/buying.

Don't need to be a candidate to influence the electorate. And if anything we've just learned that outside interference in elections isn't really a "problem" if those in power benefit from it or believe that they will.
