You only need to experience deadly food poisoning once for the rest of your species who didn't make that mistake to pass on their genes that are better at avoiding that mistake.

Reply to LPT: boil rice until it’s almost fully cooked, drain, then return to pan, cover and steam on low heat for 10 mins. Tastes much better than boiling, draining and serving. by circumlocutious
You shouldn't boil the rice; you should simmer the rice. That is to say, bring it to a boil and then turn down the heat as soon as it starts to boil. This gives it more time to absorb and soften, basically combining your last two steps by not needing to drain or steam (because it steams by the end of the simmer and you haven't overcooked it by boiling the shit out of it)

Reply to LPT: telling someone who list a significant amount of weight that they already looked great before their weight loss might not be taken as a compliment despite your intentions. by 808adams
It's also important to normalize that people come in, and look good as, a variety of body types.
Who's more important? The person who's just lost weight or the person listening who isn't happy with their weight but isn't able to lose weight easily?
Expanding our discussion of attractiveness (i.e., "looking good") helps construct a framework where people lose weight for health reasons or because they wish to, but not because of a fatphobic society. I dont think that undermines a person who worked hard to lose weight.

of course, but it's good to have the mechanisms in place to use it if the attempts to produce enough clean electricity bear fruit, alongside improvements to hydrogen production efficiency and usage.

for simplicity, I'm assuming octane (C8H18). Energy density is 46MJ/kg, so we need 2.6 kg to match the energy in 1kg H2. MW of 114 means we are using 22.8 moles, producing 9 moles of H2O per mole octane. That's 206 moles, sopretry similar. Diesel isn't gonna be much different.

>water vapor emissions from aircraft only.
Which is miniscule compared to the amount already evaporating from oceans. Double of miniscule is still miniscule.
By and large, the relative impact of using hydrocarbons on greenhouse gases is not the water vapor but the carbon dioxide. Eliminating the impact on carbon dioxide while doubling its miniscule impact on water vapor is considered to be a good tradeoff by experts in the field (if of course we could reach low-carbon hydrogen production). There's also less nitrogen oxides and particilates. The water vapor is taken into account. It's just not much to account for.
Secondly, as I mentioned, since water splitting would be done with water that is already part of the water cycle, it's just moving it through the cycle. The same amount of water remains on the Earth's surface. Combustion of a fossil fuel adds water to the Earth's surface from where it was stored as a hydrocarbon.

Great now tell me how many moles H2O produced in a combustion reaction from jet fuel providing an equal amount of energy :)
Providing one and not the other is deceptive even if accurate.

>kilogram
yeah let's talk moles.
1 mole H2O per 1 mole H2
N+1 mole H2O per 1 mole N-Carbon hydrocarbon
Hydrogen fuel has about 2.8x more specific energy (120MJ/kg) than a traditional jet fuel (43MJ/kg) as well (source) So that 1kg H2 is worth the energy in 2.8 kg jet fuel. It's never exact to get a molecular weight off of jet fuel, but a JP-8 similar to the commercial A-1 (with the reported energy density I could easily find on wikipedia) had 180 MW reported (source). OK so 15.56 mol jet fuel (mostly between 9 and 16 Carbon, let's say an average of 12.5 Carbon--which checks out this would give an estimated avg MW of 177). This means one mole of jet fuel is producing 13.5 moles water for 210 moles water in 2.8kg jet fuel.
Compare that to the 500 moles produced by 1kg H2.
42% is not "miniscule in comparison". Yes, H2 combustion is producing more per Joule (a little over twice as much), but again all that water came from the water cycle rather than from buried hydrocarbons that were never part of the water cycle.
Moreover, the amount produced is relatively small compared to the amount already in the atmosphere, unlike with CO2.

And what YOU are forgetting is that
- Combustion engines are also producing water upon combustion of fuel
- Hydrogen production typically involves water splitting, consuming an equal amount of water as would be produced upon combustion.

oh not at all...
Anywhere with good access to fish will have quite the variety of CUTS. Buttery fish that melts in your mouth. Many sushi places miss out on that quality, though if you've never had it you might think they are all the same.
There's also an incredible array of different fish and fillings. Rice out and rice in. Sashimi, onigiri, etc.

You don't need the potatoes for that. It's redundant with the rice.
Rice and beans is indeed good You get better meal diversity if you have two types of meals but if they both need to be on the cheap you can't do rice and beans for both lmao.
Only real problem with Ramen is the sodium but that's a problem with a lot of things.

The beef one probably has the most neutral flavor for kids. Chicken one isn't spicy but tastes like curry. Shrimp one they have to like shrimp.

Not sure if its too close to spaghetti for the kid, but Maruchan Ramen comes 12 for $3.60. One package is 370 calories and has 8g protein so covers a meal for the basics of macronutrient needs. I like to jazz it up with carrots (get the full size ones, they're ultra cheap. One package will last for 20ish of these meals). Ideally you can add an egg for protein (I just make a poached egg in the boiling water for the ramen). It adds $0.25 per meal but makes it a more filling meal. This adds more but I like to get rotisserie chicken from the store and I can either have that plain or add a bit to my Ramen. I can freeze what I don't use in a few days. Save the bones for making broth for stew, which is another cheap option. Potatoes, carrots, cheap stew meat.
Rice and beans is another classic cheap option.
