Get a pressure cooker, and cooking any dried beans becomes quick and easy.
For chickpeas, we often do curries. This one is great, too: https://www.budgetbytes.com/sriracha-hummus/
Nexus 7 (FHD, the better model) was the best tablet I’ve had. I used it even as a phone replacement for a couple of years.
Now I’m using a Galaxy Tab Active 3 as a chartplotter on the boat. Also quite nice, but would be too slow for a “main device”. Not to mention camera quality.
The previous year’s flagship is one option. Samsung’s S22 and S22+ both fit in this range, and even the S22 Ultra is not too far off. And those still have a few OS updates left. Pixel 6 Pro seems to sell for the same price as 7a in Germany.
This has been my strategy for the last two phones (Note 8 and Note 10) and it has worked great. Following this thread with interest as this is the year I’m due to upgrade.
I’ve been very happy with our Spinlocks. Comfortable for keeping them on the whole day. We crossed the Atlantic on a boat that had them, and later bought the same for our own boat.
