The jungle bird is one of the greatest. I typically use blackstrap rum. I've even clarified it before with milk

I posted this in a reply, but I'm reposting it here:

Bacon is already cooked when you buy it from the store (at least in america). The difference between "pork belly" and "bacon" is that bacon is cured and then smoked. That smoking process gets the temperature above the range to cook it.

Besides, even "chewy" bacon is going to get above the recommended pork cooking temp. It's so thin, it will reach that temperature very quickly. If it gets hot enough to start rendering the fat, it's definitely hot enough, and I have a hard time believing anyone would pull bacon out of the oven before it's had time to render some fat.

If you read the case report by the docs, they don't say "we think he got this disease from bacon".

Our patient’s lifelong preference for soft bacon may have led to instances of undercooked bacon consumption, but this would have caused him to develop taeniasis, an intestinal tapeworm, and not cysticercosis [1]. Taeniasis occurs when consuming undercooked pork and the larval cysts embedded within, while cysticercosis is contracted when humans ingest eggs found in the feces of other humans with taeniasis [1].

In other words, the brain version only comes from eating the eggs, which can only come from eating poop of someone who had the intestinal worms. They later specify that they think the most likely scenario is that he got the intestinal version, re-infected himself through the fecal-oral pathway, then somehow cured himself of the intestinal version.

Personally, I think the most likely scenario is that he got the parasite the same way you get any other disease that uses the fecal-oral pathway: contact with someone's inadequately washed hands, or eating food prepared by someone with inadequately washed hands.

Uncured bacon is a lie. They basically claim not to add nitrites/nitrates (which is necessary to cure it), but they add celery juice or powder, which contains nitrites and nitrates, so they can avoid listing them as ingredients.

In addition to what the others said, I think the wheel thing was probably not boeing's fault. That plane was delivered to United 22 years ago. It could have been a manufacturing error, but it was probably a maintenance error.

Turn blueberries into shrub, add shrub to sparkling water (or cocktail).

They were a huge fad (though worth it, IMO), but lots of people have given them up to thrift shops, and you can get them for really cheap now

Maybe if you are using the aerosol cans with lecithin in them. I've never had just plain oil clog up a pump sprayer

Those electric lighters are like a torture device to my ears. If you haven't lost your high pitch hearing, don't get one

And 7.62 is just .30 caliber rebranded

There's a philosophical paradox about this called the "repugnant conclusion". Technically, it's supposed to be about humans, not horses, but the logic is the same.

The main conclusion was that it's better to have a larger population that's worse off than a smaller one that's better off because it's better to exist than not exist.

Personally, I think the opposite is true, but there's not a "right" answer.

The bridge

RO water can get more acidic simply by absorbing co2 from the air. It really doesn't actually matter, though, unless you are letting it sit open to the air for a while. Even if the pH does get low, it shouldn't matter much cause the titratable acidity would be really low

A number 1 plane is actually tiny. That's part of why they are expensive. They are small enough that demand was low since most people didn't want/need them. They only really fit in child hands.

Now they are a collectors item since people want to collect them all, but they never made many.

It means "before" as in "in front of", not "occurring previously to"

I have no experience with dual fuel generators, but I have experience using propane for hours in cold weather. Propane is a liquid that evaporates into gas. Evaporation cools the system (that's why we sweat). When you run a propane tank in cold weather for a long time, the evaporation slows down until the propane freezes entirely, even though the ambient temp is above the freezing point of propane at that pressure.

Easiest way around it is to keep your backup tank in a heated area, or to find a way to keep the tank warm, like submerging it in a tank of warm water.

I really agree with this. Aeropress is super easy, allows you to experiment, relatively affordable and bulletproof. You can do drip coffee type drinks, or espresso style drinks.

I also agree about grinding. It's unfortunate cause it's such a step up in taste, but cheap grinders are all so awful.

OP, if you want to get a grinder eventually, come back to this community for some recommendations. Depending on what kind of coffee you like (and if you mind hand grinding), there's a bunch of options, but they cost more than you'd think, and I'm assuming you don't want to drop $150 on something.

For what coffee to use, I'd say to get a small bag once at a time from a local roaster and have them grind it. Keep it airtight; lots of coffee roasters use bags that are airtight and resealable. Air is the enemy of flavor. Avoid supermarket coffee because it is often months old. That's bad for whole beans, and really bad for preground coffee. Try to only buy from places that include a "roasted on" date.

You said you liked bustelo. If I remember right, that's preground espresso thats roasted dark. Most of us here are going to steer you towards lighter roasts, but if that's something you really liked, there's no reason you can't get darker roasted coffee.

I think the problem is that the brands that make waxed clothing are often more on the luxury side of things (like fjallraven). There's nothing about waxed fabric that should make it inherently expensive. You could do it yourself, the only downside is that you wouldn't know for sure what the fabric looks like waxed until you do it.

There's nothing stopping you from buying a 10€ bar of wax from fjallraven and a 50€ canvas jacket. There's even more lightweight fabrics that can be waxed, you'd just want to do some homework on how well the particular fabric works with wax.

their operating systems could send sensitive information to Beijing

Cool. So let's pass legislation that prevents any auto manufacturer from sending sensitive info to anyone unauthorized by the owner of the car. Just because you buy a car "assembled" in the US doesn't mean that your data isn't being harvested, stored improperly, and sold to all bidders.

Motorcycles do not burn fuel as cleanly so are more harmful to the environment though so trade-offs

I'm assuming probably not on a "vehicle miles traveled" basis, though.
