Hey there! For the first time, I wanted to try cooking with dry chickpeas. I soaked them in a jar in the fridge for 24 hours. Just threw them in a pan and...they're still pretty hard! I can bite them, but they split into two pretty firm halves. Is this normal? Previously I've used canned chickpeas and they're VERY soft.

Clips of Sen. Collins defending Brett Kavanaugh's voting record on abortion have resurfaced.
Collins said Kavanaugh considered Roe v. Wade settled law and did "not believe" he would overturn it.
The clips resurfaced as a leaked draft opinion indicates the court could roll back abortion rights.
Clips of Sen. Susan Collins saying Justice Brett Kavanaugh sees Roe v. Wade as "settled law" recirculated Monday following news that the Supreme Court appears poised to overturn Roe v. Wade.
"I do not believe that Brett Kavanaugh will overturn Roe. v. Wade," Collins told CNN in 2018, prior to Kavanaugh's confirmation.
On multiple other occasions when asked about Kavanaugh, Collins indicated he'd said Roe v. Wade was "settled law" and it would be inappropriate to overturn the precedent of Roe or Planned Parenthood v. Casey, which reaffirmed Roe in 1992.
In February, Collins, along with Sen. Lisa Murkowski, introduced legislation that would codify the rights established in Roe and Casey.
"I support the abortion rights established by Roe v. Wade and affirmed by Planned Parenthood v. Casey," Collins said in a statement. "Our legislation would enshrine these important protections into law without undercutting statutes that have been in place for decades and provide basic conscience protections that are relied upon by health care providers who have religious objections to performing abortions."
Represenatives for Collins and the Supreme Court did not immediately return Insider's requests for comment.

The Supreme Court appears poised to overturn Roe v. Wade and reduce abortion access nationwide.
The erosion of reproductive rights has only happened in a handful of countries in the 21st century.
Experts warn a rollback in abortion access is indicative of backsliding democracy and creeping authoritarianism.
As the Supreme Court appears poised to overturn precedent in Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, experts warn the rollback in abortion access is indicative of backsliding democracies.
"There is a trend to watch for in countries that have not necessarily successfully rolled it back, but are introducing legislation to roll it back," Rebecca Turkington, a University of Cambridge scholar, told The New York Times last year regarding abortion access. "[I]n that this is part of a broader crackdown on women's rights. And that goes hand in hand with creeping authoritarianism."
The US Supreme Court indicated in a draft opinion – according to reporting by Politico – that it may be preparing to similarly overturn abortion rights.
"We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled," Justice Alito wrote in the document, labeled as the "Opinion of the Court," Politico reported. "It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people's elected representatives."
Few countries have eroded existing abortion access laws in the 21st century. Among them: Poland, Nicaragua, and the US. The changes in established law came at times of political turmoil, like that currently facing the United States.
In Nicaragua, President Daniel Ortega passed a total abortion ban in 2006 as part of an increasingly authoritarian platform. Poland's 2020 near-total abortion ban came at a moment after one of the country's top justices said the country was "moving fast" toward an authoritarian regime.
Poland's law is now one of the most restrictive bans on abortion in Europe and nine organizations have filed interventions with organizations like Amnesty International on behalf of women in the country.
"We don't necessarily always include reproductive freedom in that package of democracy," Anu Kumar, the head of Ipas, a global nonprofit for reproductive rights, told Foreign Policy. "But we should, because this is a place where authoritarian regimes often go, if not first, then pretty quickly afterward."

I am planning to open a food cart and have learned that I will likely have to go with a ventless, electric deep fryer option (let me know if you disagree!) due to high installation costs of venting/safety concerns. I learned, however that a major downside is that it can't fry anything on a stick.
A couple of questions:
Is this true?
Are there any workarounds? For example, can something like this possibly installed inside a ventless deep fryer?
Can I fry corn dogs with the stick attached regardless? Is this unsafe to eat? Will this impact the flavor of the oil from the wood heating?
Thanks in advance. Would also very much appreciate anything else that you think would be helpful in my endeavor!

A 2016 clip resurfaced of then-candidate Donald Trump being interviewed in an MSNBC town hall.
When questioned about his pro-life stance, Trump said women should face "punishment" for having abortions.
A leaked draft opinion on Monday suggested that the Supreme Court could overturn Roe v. Wade.
A 2016 clip of Donald Trump saying that "some form of punishment" should befall women who choose to get an abortion has resurfaced after a draft opinion hinting at the overturning of the landmark abortion ruling Roe v. Wade was leaked.
"The answer is that there has to be some form of punishment."
"For the woman?" Matthews asks.
"Yeah, there has to be some form," Trump continued.
Trump also said that, under the law, said punishments should not apply to the person who got the woman pregnant.
Matthews also asked Trump what would happen if he banned abortions. Trump replied: "You'll go back to a position like they had, where people will perhaps go to illegal places. Yeah, but you have to ban it."

There are currently 13 US states with so-called trigger laws that would ban all or nearly all abortions if the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 case that legalized abortion nationwide.
Arkansas, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Texas, Oklahoma, and Wyoming all have post-Roe laws that would immediately take effect if Roe falls, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a pro-abortion rights organization that compiles data on reproductive health.
A Texas anti-abortion law, one of the most restrictive in the nation, took effect at the end of August. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed the law on May 19, which bans abortions after six weeks — with no exception for rape or incest — despite many people being unaware they are pregnant at that time.
After 24 hours of the law being in place, the Supreme Court declined a request from abortion providers to block it. In a 5-4 vote, Justices Amy Coney Barrett, Brett Kavanaugh, Neil Gorsuch, Samuel Alito, and Clarence Thomas overruled the dissenting votes cast by Justices John Roberts, Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan.
The court's majority argued in an unsigned opinion that the ruling was a technical one and not based on the substance of the law, which could still be legally challenged.
"In particular, this order is not based on any conclusion about the constitutionality of Texas's law, and in no way limits other procedurally proper challenges to the Texas law, including in Texas state courts," the justices wrote.
