  • I'll echo everyone else and say vinegar for sure. A gallon of vinegar is a few bucks at worst.

    Anymore, though, I buy distilled water for my coffee maker. It eliminates the possibility of scale. I use 750 mL when I make my coffee and a gallon of distilled isn't even a dollar. It's still a good idea to run some vinegar and water through it every once in a while because vinegar kills mold.

    Here are some other vinegar uses for those who don't have much use for vinegar:

  • Moment

    Jump
  • Do you buy an Altima as a gateway into this kind of behavior? Or is the Altima the way you show the world you engage in this kind of behavior?

  • If the choice was plaid or denim, I really would be in a pickle as to which interior to get. I love the plaid interiors offered by some euro manufacturers.

    That might be the whitest thing I have ever said.

  • Yo Cetaphil used to tingle when I put it on my face, but they changed the formula and it's a lot milder these days. Good stuff for $12 a bottle. A lot cheaper than the stuff my wife gets at Ulta.

  • I drink mine pretty weak. I use a light roast and a 30:1 ratio. So for 750 mL of water, I use 25 g of coffee beans. It's nice because it's not an overwhelming coffee flavor, I get to enjoy a second cup of the hot stuff, and it's not quite so hard of a caffeine hit. Strong coffee makes me jittery and nervous. Don't know how people do it.

    I've been drinking coffee daily for about the last ten years and it always makes me poop. So did my ADHD meds when I was on those. It would make me late to class sometimes during my university years. Fun times!

  • I can't believe they didn't bust out the jlates or the jilverware

  • Building a miles-long cobblestone road through mountains and over frozen rivers to a farming village from my house on a snowy plain then entering peoples homes while they sleep and cleaning them out of any food and valuables. Also crop theft.

    And maybe pushing that wild pig into my fenced in pasture from the mountainside because I didn't have any carrots to lure him in willingly.

  • I remember the school computer lab. They bought all the computers in 2002 and didn't replace them until 2011. It was like stepping into a wind tunnel the fans were all so loud

    I mean, I'm still running basically the same PC I built in '14 so I can't say shit lol

  • But Alabama the band is pretty great, and I don't even like country music.

  • Fish and steak are totally different animals (pun intended) and the way they are handled after slaughter is completely different.

    Chickens are dunked in a cold bath with a lot of other chickens after slaughter. This creates a lot of opportunity for cross contamination. Air chilling the chicken mitigates, but doesn't completely eliminate, this. It's still potentially dangerous to eat air chilled chicken undercooked because the structure of the meat still allows salmonella to more easily penetrate the muscle. Air chilling chicken at scale is a newer approach because it's always been cheaper to water chill it. Air chilled chicken is significantly more expensive to purchase.

    Cattle are air chilled, but before they go in to be chilled, the carcass is gutted and washed out. Care is taken to ensure tainted meat is not present during the chilling phase. Chilling cattle is also an aging process that takes several days. You wouldn't eat a raw steak because pathogens do get on the surface of the meat, but they do have a hard time penetrating the muscle. So yeah, you sear or grill the outside to kill those pathogens. They certainly can get into the muscle so eating a steak at under 165Β°F does still carry risk of foodborne illness. Still, it's generally safe to do so.

    The same can even be said of whole pork cuts. The USDA recommends at least 145Β°F with a 3 minute rest period.

    As for fish, I don't know enough to assert anything, but I'll speculate that it's because fish is handled and chilled over ice very quickly and you're always eating whole cuts. Still, raw fish is risky and it's significantly safer to at least cook the outside. Don't let that stop you from trying raw sushi though.

  • We have two cats. Each about 14 pounds. A little overweight, but not so much that the vet is concerned.

    Both get 70 grams of food a day. One gets fed once a day right before bed. His food is left out, out of reach of the other cat. The second cat gets fed at various times throughout the day. Her food bowl is put up when it's not a mealtime.

    So far, neither of them are waking us up at night lol

  • Ok but if I could have tiny humans chasing a laser around.......wait that just sounds like children.

  • Timothy McVeigh was pulled over for driving without a license plate an hour and a half after blowing up the Murrah Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma City.

    From the Wikipedia article

    Within 90 minutes of the explosion, McVeigh was stopped by Oklahoma Highway Patrolman Charlie Hanger for driving without a license plate and arrested for illegal weapons possession. Forensic evidence quickly linked McVeigh and Nichols to the attack; Nichols was arrested, and within days, both were charged.

    He likely would always have been caught, but he got picked up quick because of that.

  • I think I could achieve Bankai before I figured out how to close VIM.
