The best way to eat whole grains is to roast them (like popcorn), along with some dry fruits ground them into grainy flour.

You can try multiple combinations, (rice, wheat, millet, corn, lentils, with cashew/pistachio/wallnuts)

Use that flour with milk/sugar or with literally with anything and you have your fancy breakfast!

I was hired at Uber with the promise of 49$ a share, and boosting that it will go up to 75 by the time of IPO. Naive me at the time didn’t research more on it, but these were just some numbers thrown at me in 2015. I will never trust a recruiter offering me snake oil again. That said, I left after a year and a day, and this price makes my compensation close to less than new industry hire.

It hurts. True! The day one of snowboarding is knowing exactly how much it hurts to fall. The next day is all about learning how to not fall. As you learn how to not fall, the day 3 begins with how to move your weight and balance your center of gravity and so forth. The trick to learning snowboarding is knowing how to avoid the hurt;)
