Seconding this. 28g of sugar has 108 calories.

Which roughly just over half the amount of calories in 28 g of pecans (193 calories)

So simple math.

28g sugar + 28g pecans = 108 calories sugar + 193 calories Gives you 301 calories total

28g sugar times 2 = 216 calories 28g pecans times 2 = 386 calories

Sugar has significantly less calories per gram than pecans.

When you go by weight, you can really play with the calorie content by substituting calorie dense food (like fats, nuts, oils, avocado) that has a lot of calories per gram with foods that are the same weight but less calories per gram

Carbs like sugar have less calories per gram than fats, and salt has 0 calories, but it adds grams of weight

The pralines are substituting some of the high calorie weight of the pecans for lower calorie sugar and salt. So the weight is the same, but the total ingredients have less calories because of the non-pecan stuff used to top off the weight to get to 28g)

I would like to suggest silken tofu if you are looking for a protein kick to savory soups. It can be blended to creaminess that can be added to sweet or savory. Maybe even soft or firm tofu if you are able to homemade Chinese food to the consistency you need. It would just blend in the existing flavors and textures. And it does well under heat.

As he should.

Maybe use both then? Ideally kids in new facility get better outcomes and over time all fit in the new facility moving forward?

Unfair to some short term, instead of to all. They could use a lottery or start with nonviolent offenders?

Do you ever listen to the end to see if he tied an onion to his belt? It would be hilarious if he was doing a bit from The Simpsons

One thing I've learned is that "committed to donate" does not equal "has actually transferred and paid the actual money"

So it's just a headline to try and drum up other donations until the receipts are made.

If not too personal, which countries have you looked at?

JP's tweet heavily implied he would react violently or argue with someone to their face if they say "cis" to him. The response implies JP would, in fact, do neither. JP would instead scurry off with maybe a mean glance and then whine for an hour from the safety of his podcast.

The response to JP is making fun of false bravado, toxicity, and whatever the word is for people that take everything as a personal insult - even a simple fact that JP is a cis man.

Granted, some people can deliver obvious facts in a tone that can draw blood. And some facts do cut into insecurities really deep.

But JP, based on his rhetoric should not be hurt or insulted by being cis. He is instead angry about people existing that are trans and threatening violence over a word.

So no, I don't think this is mocking men having or showing real feelings. It's mocking the talk-tough toxicity that gets pushed to cover genuine emotions.

Omg, it's an inside-joke at our company now.

Anytime something happens on a server that's been running great for years, like a hard drive going bad or the time one literally caught on fire...

98% of the time it is selinux that is the reason it is doing weird things after the main fix because selinux changed a setting on the reboot.

"Have you checked selinux?" is the go to question whenever anything breaks now, even if it's not a computer.

I have an S7 (yes I know it's old) I still like it and it works - but - something happens about once or twice a month and it starts hanging up whenever a phone call connects and/or an app will get super laggy.

Anyway, reboot fixes it (so far) and nothing else I've tried does.

There's definitely something with these older phones that is like a slow leak and the simple, easy, lasts for weeks fix is to just take 2 minutes for a full "turn it off and back on again"

Plus the overheating when something gets stuck doing a background thing. Reboot reboot.

I plan to use this phone until it dies, reboot stops fixing things, or needed apps are no longer working/supported.

Slack no longer works/supported, but that one I'm just like "oh, noooo" However I expect ones I actually need to start falling off and I'll be lucky to get a couple more years of use.

My meandering point, some of us are still using Android phones where reboot helps a lot

Unfortunately, multiple lawyers said there are no legal consequences, so next election is all there is.

Her mother, Pat, has been easily re-elected (Dem) for years. Pat supported the decision made by her daughter. Pat normally wins easily. She came in 4th in the primary.
