Made instapot chicken and brown rice. How can I make it better?

So today I made 700g chicken breast, 200g brown rice, 250ml water, 25g olive oil, plus seasonings and soy sauce. Came out a bit soggy but it was good

I think it came out to roughly 1500 calories. Eaten throughout the day.

Obviously lacking a fiber and vegetable aspect.

Looking to see what you guys input is.

I thought closing your eyes to imagine and photographic memory was a metaphor.

The best way I can explain to people how my thoughts work are “feeling” and just paying attention to details.

Many times I can recall pretty specific details of something. People will tend to find it odd.

Or recalling directions to get somewhere. I’m not literally seeing it in my head but rather just remembering the turns, stores, landmarks, etc.

How do you explain it to people?

What are the different contractor apps that utilize your vehicle?

Just found out there’s a propane delivery app. Requires a truck though. I’m going to sign up and check it out.

Ways to use psyllium husk?

I came across a video once that they used unflavored psyllium husk and juice to make a jelly top for a small yogurt cup. It could be fun to try different juices.

What other ideas are out there?

Air purifier doesn’t have a pre-filter. Can I do a makeshift one?

So I have a lot of dog hair in my house. My concern is that the filter will just get filled with the hair and “thick” dust.

I was thinking of adding some thin mesh. Think mosquito netting or something to avoid restricting airflow so much.

It’s a Shark UA205. Just got it for $10 at a thrift store. I just have to buy a filter.

Ventilation for a shipping container?

I’m looking to get a shipping container for storage. I’ll be away for months at a time and will have stuff that I don’t want to get damaged from mold or moisture.

What are my options as far as humidity control? Worst case scenario is I won’t have electricity access.

Best case is I have electricity and a dehumidifier inside.

How much different is a 4 stroke weed eater compared to a 2 stroke?

I assume there’s engine oil instead of mixing the fuel?

I need to clean out the carb, replace hoses, and plunger.

Should I get rid of Wells Fargo and lose access to an ATM?

I got a sofi account strictly for the HYSA.

So I’ll very infrequently deposit or withdrawal cash.

I’ll be honest. I’ve never used a third party ATM like at a store or whatever. They kinda sketch me out.

Can I deposit and/or withdrawal with Sofi at one of those atms?

Edit: I forgot to mention I’m trying to avoid the bank fees.

How can I mimic the food quality like those in other countries?

So I’m sure you’ll hear from some people that they went to Italy (or whatever country) and ate all day but they lost weight when they came back to the states.

They often bring up the quality of the food we eat here in the US.

How factual is this and how can I mimic this way of eating but in the US?

Hot take: I could be disciplined if others around me were also disciplined.

I guess my biggest hurdles are food and exercise.

So I know this will sound like I’m just making excuses for myself. But I think I’m heavily influenced by other people.

Before I met my wife I was pretty strict on my diet. I was starting to workout and whatnot. I lost 50 pounds. I’ve slowly gained that weight back in 10 years. I’m at my heaviest now at like 235.

Then we got comfortable. Eating out, moving out of our parents, different dietary goals, etc, etc.

My job probably doesn’t help either considering they also provide free snacks and I had terrible coworkers that would get fast food every day. I’ve got that settled out now for some months now. I don’t get snacks and I bring food most of the time.

Then comes socializing. It always revolves around food or alcohol.

How do I shift my mindset around this? Should I just say screw everything and do my own thing? But it’s always funner to do it with someone.

I got your traditional gravity feeder and waterer.

Holy cow this thing is messy. There’s only ONE day old chick in here and there’s a mess everywhere.

One more just hatched. Hopefully 7 more will as well.

Can I actually make money off Turo?

Someone is selling an (I think) 2016 Ford Fusion.

Decent shape. Some scratches from the guys son side swiping it. Totally buffable to make it look a little better.

Interior is clean.

He wants like $5k for it.

Mostly to power a window ac at night.

I’ve been considering getting an RV closer toward the end of the year.

I was just wondering how it is on gas, maintenance, etc. Something relatively small. And a small AC for such a small space.

I know a bit about small carbureted engines so I can clean out carbs and stuff if needed.

I bought some inner tubes. But I’m wondering if I can somehow salvage these tires and return the tubes to save $40.

They’re a bit dry rotted. Unsure if they have holes or if it just external cracking.

My dad suggested expanding foam. But idk how well that would work.

I’m already a new battery, transaxle pulley, carb, and valve components into this. Maybe like $130 not including tubes.
