[Question] I keep mostly dried legumes and grains in my pantry. The plastic bags in which they are stored have puffed up. What does this mean? Are they safe to eat?

As the title says, I have lots of legumes (black eyed peas, different kinds of lentils, cannelini beans, a bean mix) and grains (farro, rice, quinoa). Some were bought prepackaged, others were bought from a bulk section. Unfortunately, it's been several months since I've used them. I recently reorganized my pantry and discovered that the plastic bags are all puffed up for just about all of the grains and beans in my pantry.

What does this mean?

Is this normal?

Are they safe to eat?

I'd hate to throw them out - it's enough to feed me for a long time.

Cereal suggestions? Feeling frustrated and defeated

Hey all, I'm looking for possible ideas for a cereal I can order, and maybe some moral support.

I ordered a cereal from nuts.com and was really excited about it. It took a while to find one that was ONLY made of rice, and was certified gluten free. I ate it yesterday and was fine. This morning, my mouth and gums are burning, swelling and a little numb, and I'm feeling achey and exhausted

It had been over 3 years since I had a bowl of cereal and it was so great.

Anyone know a crunchy cereal that's JUST (GF certified) rice, that also has no nut contamination?

I'm just GUESSING the reaction is nuts, but what's weird is I can eat Wonderful brand salted pistachios and I assume those are processed around other nuts so I'm confused.

It's getting so depressing. If you're interested, my diet for the last couple years has consisted of:

Broccoli, carrots, kale, sweet potato (all only if cooked well) Chicken, pork, beef (specific brands, which limits my ability to travel anywhere) Strawberries (pasteurized and flash frozen, fresh causes ibs and oral reaction) Rice, tapioca starch, GF oats Salt, pepper, turmeric, basil, cinnamon, ginger, chia seed, pistachios, Goat milk, Olive oil, sunflower oil, palm oil (not hydrogenated), Specific brand of GF coffee, Reb. A stevia powder

All certified gluten free except the veggies, most have to be specific brands. Not all are allergies --many are intolerances, some are mysterious and cause like, head swelling and nightmare-level migraine, sugary fruits cause oral allergy and seizures (might be sugar, at this point don't care why, just avoid)

I have my first therapy appointment in about a year today, and I don't want to cancel because of an allergic reaction.

I'm working on getting an allergist. I moved last year.

Im afraid to take Benadryl because it contains PEG and I haven't tried that yet and don't have an epi pen. Same reason I haven't been vaccinated for COVID-19 yet.

Anyway, any ideas for cereal I can have with goat milk, or just some support and solidarity would be great. These restrictions are debilitating and my life revolves around them. Thanks guys.

CMV: Rice Krispies are a deceptive product

Rice Krispies (and generic "crisped rice" cereals) are deceptive in that they appear to be whole grains of rice that are crisped, but are actually rice flour that is formed into the shape of rice.

Why is this issue particular to Rice Krispies? Because other cereals generally do not mimic the shape of the grain. Corn Puffs, for example, aren't deceptive in the same way because they are not shaped to appear like whole corn kernels.

Nobody thinks that Rice Chex are whole rice grains, but a significant portion of people reading this will not have known that Rice Krispies are rice flour that is shaped into a rice shape.

Three more points I want to make:

  1. It is not obvious that they are reconstituted. I'm not sure if you can even find that info on the box.
  2. If this is just a desirable shape for breakfast cereals, then why do we not see Corn Krispies and Wheat Krispies? A main reason they are in this shape is because they appear to look like rice, which causes most people to think they are grains of rice.
  3. Why does this matter? Because it's good to not be deceived, and because there is a difference between eating rice and eating rice flour, even if the composition of both is the same.

First Contact - Disaster - 490

[first] [prev] [next]

The day was warm, with a light breeze that moved across the plains making the grain fields wave slowly. Not that there was the driving need to grow grain there had once been. A simple home nutriforge could keep a family fed with a dizzying array of foodstuffs that were identical to 'grown' food right down to the molecular level. Still, some things, the beings of the Terran Confederacy felt were better if they were 'real' and 'non-forged.'

Smokey Cone and the Treana'ad believed that grain and milk, sugar and salt, and everything else that went into the wide array of ice cream flavors, was better if it was 'naturally grown and/or collected' rather than just forged up.

Some of the more esoteric and expensive ice creams even bragged such things as "Genuine Soft Handed Terran Milkmaids" or "Genuine Salt Mined by Pickaxe" and "Strawberries Grown Under the Light of a Yellow Sun" for their premium taste and expense.

The cattle in the fields, most of which were direct bloodline to the cattle taken by the legendary P'Thok in the Great Moo-Moo Raid almost nine thousand years ago, were lavishly pampered to a degree that bordered on outrageous. Petted, brushed, combed, hand fed, they were pampered out of the belief that an uncomfortable moo-moo would produce sour milk.

The Cattle Queen watching over the moo-moo's as they were being brushed and pampered was ostentatious in her lavish outfit. Her dress was styled off of ancient Terran West Cattler style, with plenty of frills and lace, with a bustle that completely covered her abdomen and hid her legs beneath it's impressive size. Napping on the soft cloth of the bustle, basking in the sun, were a half dozen hatchlings smaller than a human's hand.

Her bonnet was ornate, hand embroidered, shading her eyes and antenna from the warming rays of the large red sun.

She even had a hand tooled leather pistol belt around her thorax/abdomen junction, complete with bullets and an ivory gripped pistol in the proper places.

T'Nok knew it was all to show off her power and wealth, not only to any passerby's but to the moo-moo's themselves, to let them feel calm and protected by her wealth and power.

He nervously cleaned his antenna as he moved up, guarded on either side

Untitled - A SSB Fanfic - Chapter 4

BlueFishcake owns SSB, and I have no idea what I'm doing! None of this is canon. It's all lies and formatting mistakes.


Valyxh stopped behind a building near the pedestrian overpass to catch her breath. Her chest heaved, she’d started out jogging but ended up sprinting full-tilt.

Impatient. Reckless. Valyxh cursed herself. Better to show up later and fight winded than show up faster but burnt out.

She checked around the corner to see Nakaisha and Ace sitting in the stairwell, holding hands. No danger, as far as Valyxh could tell. Ace was wearing the only outfit she’d ever seen him in: a black hoodie and dark pants. At least his hood was down this time.

Perhaps he’s shy? Valyxh wondered.

Nakaisha looked like a Shil’vati woman should. Beautiful and confident, with all of her clothing hinting at what she was: a warrior. Her sharp heels, her sword hair clip, the scaled armor pattern on her shirt, all of it was deliberate. None of Nakaisha’s clothes were too expensive, but a warrior didn’t need the most expensive equipment, either.

If Valyxh hadn’t known Nakaisha, she would have been impressed. As it was, Nakaisha’s personality ruined the effect.

Regardless, Valyxh was glad Ace and Nakaisha were getting along. She had been worried that Nakaisha was too pushy. Nakaisha’s strategy seemed to be working, maybe that's how Humans liked their women. Valyxh had heard the rumors about Human males. But if Ace had been Valyxh’s brother, Valyxh and Nakaisha would have had words. But Ace wasn’t her brother, he wasn’t even a Shil’vati, and a good relationship between Ace and Nakaisha would make everything easier when Ace moved into their shared apartment.

If, Valyxh corrected herself. If Ace moves in with us. Don’t get ahead of yourself!

Valyxh straightened her clothing, tugging on the sleeves of her denim jacket and smoothing out her white shirt. She prayed wearing Human clothing would have the effect she wanted. No use worrying now.

Valyxh stepped out from her hiding spot and walked over.

First things first, she thought.

β€œWhat happened to the Marines?” Valyxh asked Nakaisha.

β€œThey fucked off,” Nakaisha answered, puffing up her chest. β€œAlmost had to fight one, but the other one pulled her away.”

Nakaisha almost fought two Marines? She’d have gotten crushed! Nakaisha was awful in the sparring ring.

β€œNo, you didn’t almost have to fight one,” Valyxh snapped. β€œYou almost had to stall until Lorna and I arrived.”

β€œBut,” Nakaisha prot

Screams echoed down the hallway, screams a man the size of Legs should be incapable of making. Mistress Harper shuddered at a particularly loud one as she gathered the meal plates. The woman had only been lightly injured in the attack, and Granny Esmer had been able to treat her injuries in moments.

Granny Esmer did not blink at the noise, and neither did Blake. Hellspawn made far more disturbing noises when they died. The pair sat, waiting for Lynch to be finished interrogating the one-time demonic thug. Blake suspected the interrogation was long over, and what was left was a little payback.

The pipe Granny and Blake were puffing at trailed smoke as he passed it back to the woman. Blake rolled a paper if he wished a smoke, but Granny had offered her pipe. Gorgeous carvings around the bowl, long stemmed, and of a red polished wood cool to the touch, Blake could not say no.

β€œThis is prime Kindale tabac,” Granny said after rolling the smoke around in her mouth for the third time. Blake nodded.

β€œIt will be some of the last ever grown,” he said with some sadness. For all their cruelties and injustices, Kindale had produced some of the world’s finest goods.

The Granny grunted. β€œShame, that. Deserved what happened to β€˜em. Tabac do no change that.”

β€œNo one deserves what happened there.”

β€œSpeak up, boy. Ye keep whisperin’ an' I’ll do to ye what I did to Howard.” She lifted her blackened stick in a threatening manner. Blake was not sure if she was joking. After a moment, she pulled another long draw from the pipe before handing it back.

β€œWho are you calling boy?” Blake asked. β€œI am old enough to be your brother.”

β€œBoyhood ain’t only age, Knight. Take ye and the soldier fer example. I can’t tell if ye are joking like meatheaded men or if ye hate each other true.” Smoke curled from Granny Esmer’s mouth like an ancient dragon. Dragons might well have made a home in the twisted mountains around Quincy Hill, had they survived the Crusades.

[Review] Gucci Soho Disco, Dior Saddle Bag, Prada Re-Edition 2000, and Chloe Tess from TS Aadi- My First Rep Purchase!!!

Hi!!! This is my first rep purchase, so bear with me. I found Repadies a few months ago and I do want to say that I love this community and its positivity. It has changed the way I look at designer items. You’ve all really made me appreciate designer fashion but also, not forget that they are completely overpriced and not worth it most of the time at my current salary LOL. I did go a little bit crazy, and I bought a lot of stuff, and I’m long-winded. So I will be doing two reviews. This one is going to be for my bags. My second one will be of some of the accessories, so be on the lookout. I am going to do my best to quality check, and CCW on the bags is welcome. I tend to be a bit critical of bags, and I’m constantly trying to remind myself that these are fake and not going to be perfect!!! But also that no one will know and if they do and they probably won’t say anything. So please hype up my bags, lol.

The Ascension Protocol (ToD story)

" activation confirmed. All biological support functions aboard this craft will cease in 3 hours. Admiral Solomon, it is advised that you use the biological preservation bay."

"Damn ship.... A Captain goes down with his vessel. Spare me the indignity would you?"

"But captain-"

"Mute interfaces."

Admiral Solomon was furious but nearly elegant in his calm, he stood, spun left and then steadily walked his way over to the rear of the bridge. Reaching out he pulls an old record player from a well hidden compartment, followed by a box of fine hand made and absurdly extravagant cigars. The name on the box faded with age.

"I really shouldn't have indulged like this. It'll leave a sour taste on my journey into the afterlife.... Oh! Sorry navigatior!"

He said before setting his things down and moving the floating remains with his gloved hand.

"I should have offered you one before we got in thos deep. My apologies friend."

He lit the cigar, the old pillar of rolled tobacco igniting with a steady pull as he spun back around, his view filled with the glorious visions of humanity dropping the hammer against a very tenacious foe. Their odd ships always peaked his interest but not enough to investigate beyond specs. However odd they where, he found them now... Pleasingly horrendous. After all they put him through in the past 3 hours, he couldn't bring himself to hate them. They were more than likely soldiers like him. Following orders.

"Well then.... Its time to play these fine enemies a good night song. Hmmm what would be appropriate... Ah yes, yes this will do just fine. Trakovski, the 1812 overture played on 40mm field artillery. A masterpiece..."

He spun and strode back to the record player, playing the song and then returning to his chair with the cigar in his mouth. Sitting down he flicked open a data screen, typed in a few lines of code and then input a password.

Looking at his screen he sighed, a simple message appearing stating in plain text.

>Activate Ascension Protocol? Y/N

"Well i have 3hrs and all my crew is dead or already on their way to the medical ships.... I guess ill wait and see if we can actually win or not first.... Oh yeah, forgot you where dead.... Well thats war in earnest."

He sat and watched, puffing away on his cigars, one after another listening to his euphoric musical choice as the battle rages outside on his monitor. The last of the functional human ships finally sputtering to a dead halt he sighed again, loudly and irr

Help Making Rat Mix

Hey all, I would like some input on the mix I plan on making for my young boy rats.

All percentages given are by volume.

60% of the mix will be mixture of the following in equal parts:

7 grain hot cereal mix containing only Red & white hard wheat, oats, white softwheat, rye, triticale, barley. These grains have been chopped up roughly, but appear to be minimally processed.

Organic Einkorn Wheat

Barley Flakes

Organic Spelt

A rice mix containing Long Grain Parboiled Brown Rice, Sprouted Brown Rice, Brown Basmati Rice, Colusari Red Rice, Sprouted Sienna Red Rice, and Wild Rice.

Oxbow rat food

20% of the mixture will be a mixture of the following ingredients in equal parts:

Organic Quinoa Puffs

Puffed Brown Rice

Tricolor Orzo pasta with Tomato and Spinach

10% of the mixture will be the following:

Fish dog food. Unsure of which brand yet.

5% of the mixture will be the following in equal parts:

Freeze Dried Peas

Freeze Dried Carrots

Dried Diced Apples

5% of the mixture will be the following in equal parts:

Raw Pumpkin Seeds

Raw Hemp Seeds

All of these ingredients only come out to around $100 and most come in 1lb quantities so it is worth it for me. Is there any issues with this as a food mix?

You are not the main character and this is how it will always be. Just because you think something doesn't mean it is so, and understand that you cannot always understand, the universe is not bound to make sense to you so don't make it fit your narrative because if this is a simulation, I doubt it's got the time to be fucking around with you. Even if it did, that still is not a requirement for you to see the same car 12 times in a row. A simulation like that would still provide you with a working human psychological model in which you fall pray to your own cognitive dissonance, survivor bias, false remembering and much much more. The simulation theory is not there to solve those problems, those problems are what they already are, logical and well documented. The simulation theory is a cosmological theory, hardly one that has to be the basis for every explanation.

You don't need to know quantum physics to make a car engine, so why ever bring them up in the same paragraph; problems require relevant explanations! Leave the simulation out of it

It was well hidden, but just behind the leftmost corner barrel, he could perceive the slightest tingling, the signature twin buzz of a rune; one from the mana crystal powering the rune and one from the rune itself. Which if he had to guess, was a [Preservation Rune].

Which was fine on its own. After all, preserving your goods was just that, good sense. Like yesterday, he saw four to five butchers, collected their processed meat on one sort of public stall/warehouse that had [Preservation Rune] engraved o

DAD JOKES ARE NOT DIRTY.

Go post NSFW jokes somewhere else. If I can't tell my kids this joke, then it is not a DAD JOKE.

If you feel it's appropriate to share NSFW jokes with your kids, that's on you. But a real, true dad joke should work for anyone's kid.

Mods... If you exist... Please, stop this madness. Rule #6 should simply not allow NSFW or (wtf) NSFL tags. Also, remember that MINORS browse this subreddit too? Why put that in rule #6, then allow NSFW???

Please consider changing rule #6. I love this sub, but the recent influx of NSFW tagged posts that get all the upvotes, just seem wrong when there are good solid DAD jokes being overlooked because of them.

Thank you,

A Dad.

Cygnus, the Sentinel of the Canopies

#Cygnus, the Sentinel of the Canopies

#Profile:

> Once an ornithologist working at Ecopoint: Amazon, Ilma led the evacuation of the Amazon rainforest. She is now at Watchpoint: Gibraltar, planning the recapture of the rainforest.

> "It's lucky that birds can fly to escape our destruction, but not everything can do that."


> Full Name: Ilma Pinas

> Age: 35

> Sex: Female

> Species: Human

> Alias(es): Cygnus

> Affiliation(s): Overwatch

> Occupation(s): Ornithologist, ecologist

> Base of Operation(s): Ecopoint: Amazon (formerly), Watchpoint: Gibraltar

#In Game

> In-game callsign: Cygnus

> Role: Damage

> Base Health: 200

> Base Shield: 0

> Base Armour: 0

> Movement Speed: 5.5m/s

> Hitbox: Small - around Sombra - Tracer size


&nbsp;

#Passive: Elastic Alterations Cygnus can charge her slingshot fire for 1s to alter the attack.

> Charge time: 1s

> Once charged, red vibration lines will wiggle around the slingshot.

> Holding down primary fire will charge the attack of the ability, altering the attack. Once an ability is charged, Interact can be used to cycle through the alterations. Applies for all abilities apart from the ultimate (each ability has 1 normal and 1 alteration). Releasing primary fire fires the attack (like Hanzo's bow). Alterations will be described below. An altered attack/alteration is the same as a charged attack.

&nbsp;

#Primary Fire: Triple Chuck Cygnus loads 3 nut kernels into slingshot that fly out in a line. Cygnus can charge the shot for increased speed and added pierce.

> Damage: 25 per shot.

> Aim type: Arcing projectile

> Projectile speed: 35m/s

> Charged projectile speed: 70m/s

> Projectile size: slightly smaller than a Junk nade

> Spread angle: 45Β°

> Fire rate: 1 shot per 0.25s

> Charged fire rate: 1 shot per 1s

> Ammo capacity: ∞

> Headshot: βœ”οΈ

Nut kernels are brown. Charged kernels are golden and have a yellow trail following them.

Kernels fire in a triple split (like Genji's alternate fire). Charged shots can pierce barriers and enemies and have double the speed. Tapping primary fire will shoot uncharged shots, whereas holding primary fire will charge it.

There are only two white people in the movie Black Panther

Martin Freeman, and Andy Serkis.

They also play roles in Lord of the Rings.

I guess that makes them the Tolkien white guys.

[Novels] First time read through WEB NOVEL, arc 5 ch. 1 - 16. Random thoughts.

Can't take the wait anymore so, now that vol. 15 of the LNs and thus arc 4 has concluded, I'm making the leap from light novels to web novels. I'll still probably read the LNs as the come out in english and that's partially way I've chosen this chapter selection. Witch Cult translations has 81 chapters listed under arc 5 and the wiki says arc 5 is across 5 light novels, so that comes out to about 16 chapters per "volume" for a matching web novel read. It'll be easier to pace myself and later compare what happens in the LNs to the WNs, unless someone has a better recommendation for how I should split things up.

>Subaru’s abused gate has completely stopped functioning. But the loss of his gate does not stop his od from generating slight amounts of mana. Actually it is proceeding to generate more and more mana despite the lack of an outlet. If left like this, the mana inside Subaru will frenzy, and he’ll pop like an overinflated frogβ€”is how he understands it.

>But leaving aside whether he’ll actually explode, Beatrice tells him it’s dangerous. Since the mana exchange required to preserve their contract simultaneously resolves the issue, Subaru and Beatrice absolutely must have physical contact at least once daily. Subaru is constantly stockpiling tiny loads of mana, and Beatrice needs mana to function. Both in terms of personality and constitution, their compatibility is excellent.

Subaru: "Aww, Beako! You don't need an excuse like that if you want to hold my hand."

Beatrice: "Th-! This is not that, in fact!"

I think I've actually seen images of Joshua before, probably from LN vol. 16, but I thought it was just Julius being forced into a fancy getup.

>Subaru: γ€ŒDon’t pick fights with people we just met. And I’ve got nothing on Julius. I’m never gonna beat him in what he does. I don’t beat people who’re good at puzzles by challenging them to puzzles, I beat them by ch
