Stumbling through parenting. Posting about tv (anime and not anime), politics (all levels), and misc (Asian American activism, history, fitness). I used to lift! I also started the Toasties feed. Check it out if you followed the toast dot net 🌊

I do really like it! Honestly these days it’s mostly a rice and oatmeal machine for us but it is nice to have for other things too, like the pressure cooking. We have limited storage space in our kitchen so it’s nice to have a reliable multifunctional appliance

This is what I get for making assumptions and not double checking before I post! That being said, I use an instant pot so I still have to experiment 😅

The “as normal” in the graphic presumes a stovetop prep, where you can watch it and see that it’s done and turn it off at that point. But that’s not how rice cookers work.

So my thinking is that a rice cooker operates on a timer, presuming that the rice is not parboiled, and cooks until the water is absorbed. If it’s parboiled, surely that affects the timing?

I honestly don’t know but then again I have never cooked parboiled rice in a automatic cooker

Well I feel like the timing might be too long now that the rice has been boiled once already!

Thank you for sharing, and I hope scientists now can come up with a graphic on how to do the second phase of the cooking with an instant pot or rice cooker

I have been alternating all day between “no more boulders” and “maybe just a little bit of boulders” but then I just read a Reddit post that was like “hey all! I have been bouldering for 2 months and then I fell from the top of a v3 route and had a vertebral fracture”

Nasal vaccines for COVID are coming along!

While it's great that the current vaccines dramatically reduce hospitalizations and deaths, a nasal vaccine would reduce transmission which would be glorious!

For anyone who’s curious about work out regimens, I’m also contemplating splitting my time between doing a very tiny (2x week) starting strength routine again and climbing top rope 2x week.

I’ve been thinking I could use the extra time on GOTV efforts bc, of well, the recent debate and SCOTUS ruling. I can’t go door to door but I could find something else, like on Greg Pak’s thread about it on here

this is all a roundabout way of saying I hurt my ankle again yesterday, which is making me think that I should probably stop bouldering bc being injured is a *huge* PITA as a working parent w two small kids. T stopped playing contact sports years ago for this reason! But I love it 🥺

My own parents lived through a significant regime change in their late 20s, with a baby (my older sister), and I’m sitting around 50 years later worrying about the same thing in my own lifetime while going “owww my ankle, I hurt it when engaging in my pricey luxury hobby 🥺”

5 years in and I’m definitely well into the phase of “my mom made mistake and I definitely appreciate where she was coming from and how she landed there” so much parenting has been trying to be deliberate about what I’m doing, even when I have no equanimity
