The UK gov is insisting things will get better by like April 18th or something.

I have no idea why they insist on lying in a way that's just gonna make themselves look bad. (coz it'll be memory holed they ever said it)
But it's clear the gov themselves believes our own terrible advice.

You know how the British PM is dying of roni? Well they had the new acting PM, who should be isolating, do a presser with another guy who should be isolating AND a guy who is confirmed infected all in the same room.

So in five days France have discovered an additional 2,600+ dead in their nursing homes and only half the nations nursing homes have reported.

Discovered? Aren't there supposed to be staff monitoring them who would have a heads up if they were approaching death faster than usual? :psyduck:

pretty much yeah. china could lick it (supposedly and probably did) but they had what it took to do so and are implementing extremely strict transportation measure with closed borders and enforceable mandatory 14-day quarantine and an extensive network of contact tracing. also maybe bcg helped. europe, loving smug rear end europe with way better safety nets and potential to lick it, are currently not on a real trajectory to do so, there's exactly 0% chance america comes even come to even the worst european country and with way worse safety nets and government inaction.

like individual states doing things early like wa/ca is good, but there's virtually no way they can lift SIP anytime soon because it's going to be ravaging either low-key or rampant in missippi or florida and rife for very easy blow-up again with someone hoping on the ny/la metro during rush hour or sfo/lax/sjc and spiking all over. they'd have to do straight up interstate border closures, airport closures (or with actually enforced and mobile tracking for quarantine measures which states do not have a spy network for that), and still only partially re-open some businesses and probably some distancing measures. dine-in/bars/shows/etc are pretty much done for for the foreseeable future even if they're given the greenlight federally in GO BACK2WORK order because people are going to a) not have any money to spend anymore and lots out of work, b) ppl will be extremely and rightfully apprehensive to going.

As noted here. A lot of places aren't reporting or are dragging their feet.

quote:

For instance, in the Paris region, at least four Korian nursing homes and one from DomusVi group — the country's third biggest private network — failed to update the regional platform as required by official guidelines for several days, despite multiple cases and several deaths among pensioners, according to internal documents.

They almost certainly have much more than that in emergency funds (with the exception of the AirBnB dipshit types who took on massive debt under the assumption their properties would always be profitable). This isn't about the landlords meeting their basic needs to live; this is about them squeezing as much money out of their tenants as possible because they can and want to.

god i remember reading about a few airbnb "landlords" that had like 40k a month in rent due for all the places they were subletting. those people have got to be like 80% stress-induced ulcers by volume right about now lmao

I have been soaking a mix of black beans, pinto beans and red kidney beans for most of the day and they've softened a bit but I'm not sure how soft they need to be before they're ready to cook with?

I mean, I squatted in a house in LA for many extra months pending eviction, months after all my housemates had already left, because the landlord wanted to let the house foreclose and go up for sale as part of an elaborate grift. No police ever came to bother me, but I'm not black either so

slow soak ~10-12 hours does the trick. if you forget/can't be bothered you can quick-soak the beans by putting them in water in a pot, bringing the water to a boil for 2-3 minutes, and turning it off. leave it for an hour. the result will be basically the same as if you soaked over 12 hours.

Soaking is basically just to reduce cook time. Beans will be different levels of dryness all the time so cooking times are very much a cook till you like how soft they are situation.

In short, don't overthink it and cook your beans till you're happy with them.

Ehhh, you don't really want to cook beans from dry unless you're using a pressure cooker. Long soak is best, and quick soak as described above works fairly well. But whenever I've tried cooking from dry, they don't come out right, no matter how long I cook.

I have two months left on my lease and I’m honestly pretty flushed with cash right now. I already moved back in my moms house to help the family out and she snapped at me for admitting that I paid my April rent and was planning to pay May’s before I stiffed out on the last month and now the thread is making me feel even worse (I live in Alberta)

also be sure to add enough salt


beans are hungry for more salt than you think u might need imo. took me awhile to come to terms with that... :shrug:

This is where slow cookers come in. Put dry beans on in the morning and dinner is ready when you want to eat.
