I have (embarrassingly) purchased & tested a _ton_ of these over the years, and for most folks, I’d suggest something like this 67W GaN charger, which comes with a good cable, will fast charge any phone (and many tablets + some laptops!) and is often on sale for as little as $9.99: amzn.to/4shmxK3

season how you like it and simmer for about 25 minutes. should be a little bit liquidy at this stage. once things are tasting good and the beans are creamy throw in your gnocchi and simmer them in the sauce. add a splash of cream or mayo if you're nasty. very last goes a couple of handfuls of greens

get 2-5 sweet or spicy sausages out of their skins and brown the filling. break it up, add a diced onion, saute it until there's lots of browning. deglaze with white wine and/or stock and a couple of diced tomatoes if you have them. add a can of white beans + juices and whatever hard herbs you got

a big part of the issue surrounding the use of chatgpt/LLMs in academic research comes down to process vs. product. a lot of us know that the process of doing research matters because that's where intellectual work is done; but some "academics" and lots of techies only care about a fast product
