There's a bit of trial and error to figure it out, depending on the vegetables you eat. Some things make bad stock (e.g. the inner membranes of a bell pepper or any cruciferous veggies will be bitter), some make little difference (the

Definitely. It's not _hard_ to cook tofu well, but it's really easy to cook it badly. One trick I've learned is when frying tofu, let it sit until you're pretty sure it's burned. Then wait at least that long again

That was my experience in the Boston area 3-4 years ago. Last year it had gotten to 3-4 days between ordering and the item arriving normally with probably every third or fourth delivery delayed by at least two days and occasionally a week.

I got one of these kits a few years ago and can highly recommend it. It was a ton of fun to build and play with. I found an old VT-100 clone on eBay and hooked mine up to it for even more retro fun. There's lots of additional resources

This is, in fact, a huge part of the problem with the T. A the majority of people that benefit from it -- those outside of Boston who get the gains of its economic benefit without being dependent on it for transit -- are in a position to de

Gas taxes pay for less than half of what's required for road maintenance[0]. Again, we don't expect roads to make a profit, but somehow mass transit has to play by other rules. Cars are far, far more subsidized than public transit

I've tried leaving 15 minute buffers in between meetings. All that happens is that my colleagues schedule 15 minute long meetings in the gaps. It's exhausting.
