That's a different question. You can make a different dish, quicker. The dishes being described in these recipes call for slow cook onions. The chefs writing them prepare them this way. Maybe it's not worth the time, but that&#x

This is often true, but it is not true here. These recipes (Rogan Josh, Onion Soup) all call for slow cooked onions that take a long time. The 5-10 minute onions are an inferior ingredient, and it's not the one to use for good results.

My point was the even with such a backing (central banking), currencies have failed to maintain a fixed exchange rate. That's why more currencies free float today. I guess i'm basically asking how stablecoins could be immune to

I meant fixed exchange regimes, which are less common now among major currencies. With a floating exchange rate, there are lots of tools central banks have. Stablecoins can't do this, agreed. In a fixed exchange, there's only buy

Is it possible to regulate a stablecoin to a zero-risk point? Many central banks themselves failed to perpetuate fixed exchange systems. How is it different at a smaller scale? That a stablecoin could blow up is, IMO, unavoidable. The impor

I'm surprised that the article isn't more sports-centric. This "battle," has been mostly an elite-ish, university-centric one this far. Gender studies departments were always known as bastions of avant garde quirkiness.

Actually using a 0 to $1MM range is asking to be shot down. OTOH, "$80k-$160k, experience dependant" is probably defensible and achieves almost the same thing... especially if the range is generic for the company.
