I can’t even remember the last time I had fast food. Must have been at least 2-3 years ago.

I have had shawarma though. I tell them to put all the sauce on the side and just add what I want.

Ahhh okay. I live in Canada and I frequently see spiders roaming my house when it’s well below freezing outside. I’m pretty confident they will not survive out in the snow.

House-dwelling spiders are usually adapted to life inside the house (likely cave-dwelling species). Their survival rate outside is not very good.

It’s not though. Maybe miracle whip, but that’s garbage. Not real mayo.

It is extremely high in fat though. But the way Americans eat it is the real problem. You’re supposed to eat a small amount as a condiment to add flavour. Americans treat it like they treat all condiments, the same way Italians treat pasta sauce.

I love mayonnaise but I eat maybe a tablespoon of it at most for an entire sandwich (spread very thinly over the bread) and I use it instead of butter, not in addition to butter.

It’s the same issue for recipe blogs. Everyone hates all the filler, they just want the recipe. But having a page with just a recipe does not jive with search engines so people will never see your blog unless you write the filler.

Because mayo is strongly associated with white people and especially conservatives. There’s the whole meme about not eating any food spicier than mayo.

I think it’s a bit more complicated than that.

I would say if they’re not paying you what you’re worth then there’s a few possibilities:

1. You are less important than you think you are
2. You think you are less important than you are
3. They just underpay everyone and don’t care if you leave

It lubricates the skin for a smoother shave!

I just use a few drops of oil from my squeeze bottle and then spread it around. Oil is easy to spread around and it sticks to everything (which is why we need soap to wash it off).

The soap is the source of the lather. Shaving cream is literally a soap lather/foam. Loads and loads of microscopic bubbles.

Why do you need to spray oil? Just seems like another way to make a mess.

I use those basic restaurant supply squeeze bottles that you can fill with anything. I squeeze a few dabs to a few tsp of oil depending on what I’m cooking and away I go. I’ve never needed to spray a fine oil mist to cook anything.

The brush is for working up a lather with the bar soap. You can achieve the texture of shaving cream just using bar soap and a brush (and water obviously).

That one has a simple answer:

It’s a very common notation in North American recipes.

• 3 1/4 cups of flour
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp baking soda

Etc!

Sure you can have a unique identifier. That’s not the issue. The issue is that anyone can contact you via your phone number! This is not a problem with chat apps where people need permission to add you to their contact list. Why not have a system like that?

Same goes for credit cards. They should need to ask for permission to charge your credit card. Merely knowing your credit card info should not be enough.

Don’t forget the Roman Empire who brutalized peoples all over Northern Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa.

Whenever you put any hot, bread-based food into the fridge it’ll get soggy. Gotta wait for it to cool down completely before putting it in the fridge.

This extends even to the trip home from a takeout pizza place. Putting the box in one of those thermal bags is one of the worst things you can do, since it traps all the steam inside. Much better to leave the pizza on the passenger seat with the box ajar (some pizza boxes even have steam vents).

Wild pollinators are nice for us home gardeners but they cannot sustain the high production of commercial produce farming.

If we went to a no-domestic-pollinator system it would dramatically cut food production and jack up food prices.

I like the Stargate-lite system in the game Terminus (2000). Unlike Stargate, each gate connects 1 to 1 with another, so there’s no “dialling up” a new destination. In fact, these gates don’t go anywhere unexplored. They only go where we’ve already been (around the solar system).

See, in Terminus the space ships can only fly at realistic speeds (similar to real life rockets) and maneuvering is difficult (with pretty decent Newtonian physics). If you want to travel to other places in the solar system it takes an extremely long time, so the gates make it actually feasible to get around.

This all had the effect of making space feel like the age of railroading. You can get around but you’re limited to where the rails can take you. I don’t know why, but there’s something so romantic about that.
