I Didn't Know That

[persistent]

I don't think I've ever heard of anyone eating rice raw. Rice is very popular for non gluten products, and some goodies are naturally gluten free (like macaroons ). Otherwise, some rice products (bread, not all) are just bleh. My mother was celiac and had to make her own bread with rice flour, which, in those days, was ordered and delivered from the pharmacist. She was a pretty good cook (except for liver maybe ) and we always had home made baked goods on hand which she could not eat. We also always thickened our gravy with corn starch instead of flour. I would think a rice and nuts concoction would make a very tasty snack! What about adding a little chocolate?

Chocolate might be a good addition. I know what you mean about the bland taste of a lot of rice based products. There is something unusual here now.??? Cooked rice with nuts, no good. I think I even put a little water on quick rice and tried that. no good. I only have chocolate syrup now and will try that!?

Tried chocolate syrup just now. Chocolate flavor real strong. But now soaking rice in syrup for ??time, hours maybe. Also soaking rice in peanut butter & honey. Nothing may work. Thinking natural flavors only possible by reaction of saliva with rice & nuts. Tofu???

Bill Gates-Backed Startup Goes After Disrupting Steel Industry — Booting Out Coal From Manufacturing Process
Navdeep Yadav - Yesterday 8:21 AM

MSFT Dropping fast
At the Bill Gates-founded Breakthrough Energy Ventures, an investor met Sandeep Nijhawan, who had four business ideas, each addressing rising global temperatures. Nijhawan — who had recently departed from founding two startups — had no inkling then that one of his ideas could disrupt the steel industry that generates more than $870 billion in revenues each year.

What Happened: During his March 2020 meeting, Nijhawan impressed the Microsoft co-founder's BEV investor Dave Danielson with his first conception.
The idea presented by Nijhawan was to make iron without coal, intense heat, or emission, powered by only renewable electricity.
“Let me stop you right there,” Danielson told Nijhawan after he presented his first idea of affordable green steel, reported Bloomberg.

Has anyone heard that the crinkly top of tomatoes is bred out in some types and it also breeds out the flavor?

 

[Lynx]

All I know is, supermarket tomatoes are flavorless and chewy. God never intended tomatoes to be chewy.

• John Bolton said he was disturbed by Biden's comments about Putin's threats to use nuclear weapons in the war with Ukraine.
• "We have not faced the prospect of Armageddon since Kennedy and the Cuban missile crisis," Biden said.
• Former national security adviser John Bolton said the president "overstated the gravity of the situation."

Ex-national security adviser John Bolton said he was "disturbed" by President Joe Biden's recent remarks warning that Russian President Vladimir Putin's threats to use nuclear weapons in its war with Ukraine.
"I think any time we contemplate the potential use of nuclear weapons, we've got to take it seriously. But I also think we've got to be very clear-eyed about it," Bolton told CBS News on Friday. "And I think the president's comment overstated the gravity of the situation we're in right now."
"We have not faced the prospect of Armageddon since Kennedy and the Cuban missile crisis," the president said Thursday, explaining that he didn't think there was a way to use tactical nuclear weapons and not have it result in Armageddon.

The Largest Known Star In The Universe Makes The Sun Look Like A Grain Of Rice
Rebecca Beamer - 15h ago

Nestled in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a nebula located just outside the Milky Way Galaxy, lies what may be the largest known star in the entire Universe. This star, named R136a1, is located around 150,000 light years from Earth (via Phys.org). R136a1 was originally discovered 60 years ago by a team of astronomers at Pretoria's Redcliffe Observatory, who published their findings in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society in October of 1960.

New research of R136a1 was published in August of this year after a team of astronomers led by Venu Kalari of the Gemini Observatory studied the cluster in which it is located. They were able to take pictures of the star, allowing them to make new estimates about its size. Their findings, which were published in The Astrophysical Journal, shed new light on the star, which may be representative of how the largest stars in the Universe behave.

William Shatner says his trip to space on Blue Origin 'felt like a funeral': 'It was among the strongest feelings of grief I have ever encountered'
[email protected] (Sarah Jackson) - 1h ago

Blue Origin© Provided by Business Insider

• In his new book, William Shatner writes that going to space "felt like a funeral."
• The "Star Trek" actor went to space with Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin last October, when he was 90.
• "All I saw was death," he said. "It was among the strongest feelings of grief I have ever encountered."

Going to space has proven to be a dark experience for William Shatner, both literally and figuratively.
In his new book, "Boldly Go: Reflections on a Life of Awe and Wonder," the actor, known for portraying Captain Kirk in "Star Trek," says he experienced profound sadness on his trip to space with Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin last October.
"I love the mystery of the universe," he wrote, according to a book excerpt published by Variety. "All of that has thrilled me for years…but when I looked in the opposite direction, into space, there was no mystery, no majestic awe to behold...all I saw was death."
The now 91-year-old, who made history as the oldest person to travel into space during the flight, described seeing a "cold, dark, black emptiness" unlike anything on Earth.

Article from LNP online Lancaster, Pa., Letters to the Editor
The transition to renewable energy


The writer of the Sept. 24 letter “What’s unmentioned about electric cars” asks where we’ll get all the electricity needed to change the batteries in electric vehicles when the government switches everything to solar power.
Solar (and wind) electricity will power all of those electric vehicles when the Inflation Reduction Act transitions us to renewables.
Clean energy runs electric vehicles and everything else, just as fossil fuel-powered electricity does. But it does it a lot more cheaply; right now it’s about six times cheaper, and those prices will just keep dropping. That’s real inflation reduction!
By the way, have you noticed the sizable increase in your PPL Electric Utilities/fossil fuel electricity bill recently?
I have 100% wind energy through PAPowerSwitch.com, produced here in Pennsylvania, and I haven’t seen any increase in my electric bills in the past six years. I’ve used it to run my electric vehicle. I just plug it into the outlet in my garage at night. No high gas prices for me!
Solar and wind will produce more electricity than we could ever possibly use, and they’ll keep getting cheaper the more we use.
You can find out how “Super Power” works at rethinkx.com.
The writer of the Sept. 24 letter also asks what will happen to old electric vehicle batteries. They can all be recycled and used again in new cars by the vehicle manufacturers, who will be happy to take them back.
Also, this year will see a new aluminum-ion battery that charges 60 times faster than lithium. Alsym batteries use readily available, nontoxic materials and are a fraction ofthe cost.

US-China Tensions Aggravate: Chinese Chipmakers Bleed As US Sharpens Its Knives
Anusuya Lahiri - Yesterday 6:46 AM

Shares in top Chinese chipmakers shed $7.7 billion in market value on October 10, as new U.S export controls restricted the sale of semiconductors made with U.S. technology unless vendors obtain an export license.

The controls also barred U.S. citizens or entities from working with Chinese chipmakers without explicit approval and limited the export of manufacturing tools that would allow China to develop its equipment, the Financial Times reports.
