I don't remember where I heard this, but it's stuck with me "Liberals take Trump literally and have never taken him seriously."

Not much since I stripped it out and sold it for a cool $4. Now do you want this cable for 1/2 off or not!

I want this, but as a coffin.

The whole point of this scene is Don is literally terrified of being replaced and made irrelevant. It's why he forgot the dudes work in the cab and after exiting the elevator has a look of fear smeared across his face.

Until you construct a square with them.

Could make a Jaramusch film out that.

Several cultures do use it to mark the middle of winter. Celts and Chinese come to mind. They are communiting a different set of information when they do it.

Look at this fucking idiot. They think their raw pasta is al dente.

Enjoy your mush soup.

The Olive Garden doesn't salt their pasta water. This is to reduce corrosion of the cheap pots. But salt is important. It obviously makes the pasta taste salty, but also it keeps starches from dissolving into the water so quickly. Without it, your pasta will be mushy and not al dente.

That was a fascinating read. Thanks for sharing.

I think every dad has this story. I remember having my boy talk at me for almost 10 hours straight. I was solo parenting during the pandemic. His mom got home, I served dinner, and he kept talking at me.

Somewhere in my mind, I thought, "His mom's home. He'll talk to her." Nope. I had a quiet explosion. My wife noticed and graciously turned conversation to her.

With that said, several years later, it's a delight to see how he's piecing information together in meaningful, insightful, and surprising ways. Still obsessed about a few things, but more interesting observations.

The reason one feels sick is because the bacteria found in the food were able to make a colony despite the innate defenses of the immune system such as the gut biome. As the bacterial colony is established, it creates an environment that is beneficial to the bacteria, but not beneficial to the surrounding tissue. This leads to cell death of the tissue. Upon cell, there are chemical markers released and enter the surrounding tissue and then the blood stream. Both of these signal to nearby and far off cells and tissues that there is somerhing happening and the cellular immune system, white blood cells, responds. These white cells have a host of defenses including raising the body's temperature resulting in a fever.

From here many things can happen, but in the case of most healthy people in the developed world, the type of bacteria faced in food poisoning will be dealt with with little need for any medication that directly assists the immune response. Staying hydrated helps and mitigating digestive discomfort are the best things.

The body does not have diarrhea as a protective mechanism to purge the bacteria that caused the food poisoning. The bacteria is secreting a protein that inhibits water absorption which causes diarrhea.

Preventing or reducing diarrhea would be a beneficial outcome for a bacteria infection such as ETEC whose cause of death is dehydration.

This is by no means an endorsement of OP's hold it in strategy.

You wouldn't be absorbing "bad food". The body has diarrhea because it is unable to absorb water in the colon. It's unable to absorb water in the case of food poisoning because the bacteria that grew in the food is creating a protein that blocks the water absorption receptors in the colon lining.

A major function of the colon is water absorption. The membrane is so small that viruses would be too large to get through.

The peanut butter wars are gonna rock your world then.

Somehow my brain is now thinking about the temperature and pressure it takes to turn primordial soup into primordial ketchup.

Almost certainly contains ass pennies. I've been sticking $30 worth of pennies up my ass for 11 years. That's twelve million twelve thousand pennies. Eight times the population of Nebraska. That coin milk almost certainly has one of my ass pennies in it.

In their minds, it's not racism. It's either nature or culture.

Reminds me of my college days.

Getting blasted in the face full force?
