There are people who take "cotton kills" way too literally. Jeans are bad if hypothermia is a risk. How big of a risk? That's something I would leave to the individual.

In highschool we were assigned inventors to do speeches on. My teacher meant to assign me Singer as in sewing machines but wrote Sanger. He caught it before the speech and told me to do Singer. I did a report on Singer for the grade and Sanger for my interest. One of the best mess ups a teacher could make.

Not really, it isn't even the highest in the US. More like calling a random team the worst in the world because they didn't help your fantasy football score.

Slatlun ,

This is how I tested too. It failed. Why would I believe it on anything else?

Slatlun ,

Look up suborder caniformia if you want that answer from a taxonomic point of view

Slatlun ,

Not exactly. It is bolting when it starts sending up a flowering stem, the very beginning of flowering. Every broccoli I've ever eaten has bolted, but not many of them have bolted and flowered.

Slatlun ,

Yeah, it usually used to indicate unwanted flowering, but in lettuces (and to a lesser extent, basil) it indicates the beginning of the flowering attempt by the plant. Most people will cull their lettuce after it bolts (stem starts to elongate into an inflorescence), but way before there are any open flowers or even buds.

Broccoli is weird though. We want it to bolt, but not really flower. That's an odd thing for most plants.

279mg or 12%rdv of salt. It is about half of what is considered a "high sodium food." Also about twice "low sodium" but not crazy. Are you thinking of salt packed instead of in oil?

As long as the anglosphere doesn't include the USA. Most people here would be able to guess what a sausage roll is but most wouldn't have seen one.

What is a "leftover fries"?

Slatlun ,

Rock juice. I didn't make that up

Reminded me of this 3 min "nature documentary" about the ibis/bin chicken https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4dYWhkSbTU

It is the London opening. People like to hate it.

Slatlun ,

It is common, some chess celebs don't like it, but not because it is bad strategy.

Slatlun ,

It is functioning as mulch. Lets water in but slows evaporation. Allows air transfer to soil but blocks direct sunlight (to keep the actual soil cooler and help prevent weed establishment). Also usually light color stone is used. That will reflect some heat away during the day.

Slatlun ,

Background soil levels are almost for sure above their lower threshold. Source control is the only way to stop the accumulation.

Definitely the greener option.

Slatlun ,

https://nativeplantspnw.com/red-huckleberry-vaccinium-parvifolium/ has some good detail on post seeding temps for good germination.

Slatlun ,

Roundup is a systemic herbicide. You have a chance of killing the parent plant since they share roots. It probably won't, but it seems pretty drastic when you could just pull any shoots. You can even pot them up and give them to friends.

Slatlun ,

I think the best bet would be following recipes. That means finding recipes that minimize 'to taste' instructions. A lot can be done by look and texture, so you can be decent enough for anyone who's not a snob. Also, err on the side of too little salt and put some on the table.

Why hasn't bamboo taken over the world?

Running bamboo is notoriously fast spreading and difficult to remove. What keeps its population balanced in the wild, and prevents it from crowding out the competition? I tried googling, but was inundated with gardening advice, horror stories, and assault / offensive gardening (some of the latter two presumably covering the same ...

Slatlun ,

It is the same as other easily spreading plants. In their native habitats there are checks like diseases and predators. When you move them out of those habitats they can thrive at a new level because of the lack of those things.

Slatlun ,

You can look at wildlife/pollinator gardening. There are different focuses like rewilding or even restoration. There are also a lot of companies willing to sell incredibly invasive plants while calling them nice things, so buy from a reputable source if you do buy plants or seeds.

Slatlun ,

Absolutely, and just to expand on why they can be wildly inaccurate. Local governments have different ways of updating assessments. Most are simply small increases to the assessment every year. Small enough that they haven't kept up with the market. If you watch, there are usually huge jumps on assessed value when a property sells because that sale value (aka market value) gets recorded as the assessed value.

    Refreezing is fine for safety (if you thawed it correctly). The main reason not to freeze and thaw things multiple times is that tiny ice crystals do damage to the structure of the food each time freezing happens.

    In meat, that damage makes your meat dry out easier when cooking. That's normally a bad thing, bit it might actually be a good idea for making jerky.

    In short, I would have no hesitation using refrozen meat to make jerky

    Slatlun ,

    I appreciate your sacrifice. It would've been me if not you

    Slatlun ,

    Also, donate your time to review papers, an absolutely critical part of "peer reviewed journals", for the people charging you both.

    Slatlun ,

    That's a weird way to say "take a walk", but ok.

    Connecticut, Arkansas, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia

    Exactly what I was thinking. If I saw this I would look for hinges before stepping up.

    Slatlun ,

    I would do it from the top (flat) with a guide. I would probably start with a circular saw, go until the front bumps the wall and finish the last parts with another tool. This allows the front and top to look straight which is all you'll see

    Even worse, he is headed up. Why is he looking down?

    If you are double spacing when typing this comment, your autocorrect is cutting it down to one. This is one. This is two.

    Slatlun ,

    I see double spaces between your sentences. Confirmed by copy/paste

    Slatlun ,

    Off the top of my head - fish sauce, oyster sauce, and red coloring in other sauces

    Slatlun ,

    Yes, there are vegan versions or replacements, and there are plenty of people (cooks) who won't even register that a sauce might not be vegan and use them. Source: personal experience. If this isn't a problem around you, I am happy you don't have to scrutinized menus like that.

    Completly stumped

    Hey all after a few months of giving up on trying to get my server to run I tried again and made it even worse. On a tutorial I was watching it suggested changing the port number. It appears this was a mistake as I can no longer access my sever even after uninstalling the program and reinstalling it. I’ve been fighting it for ...

    Slatlun ,

    You're adding extra layers by using an app, even the official one. You might want to try accessing through a browser. The app refused to connect for a while because of https settings.

    Slatlun ,

    Nope, I had the same experience. I don't know how many tutorials for set up of docker and jellyfin via docker that I read/watched and tried. Eventually I found one that worked, but I am still in that steep part of the curve after having successfully set up a few containers. That said, it has worked flawlessly since install, so...

    As a passenger in the car, whats the things a driver does that pisses you off, makes you uncomfortable, or terrifies you?

    Personally, I find it endlessly frustrating and even terrifying to be in the passenger seat with a driver who jumps in the car and immediately goes.. Then worries about Seatbelts/Radio/AC/Mirrors/Plugging in Phone/etc etc while driving.

    Slatlun ,

    How does a driver choose how close someone follows them?

    Slatlun ,

    Ah, that makes sense

    Slatlun ,
    1. In my experience creamer is meant for coffee/tea. It is not the same as cream. I think it even has less fat than half and half. I would check the nutritional labels against the dairy equivalent to see the comparative fat content. If all else fails, you might be able to find coconut cream in the canned food section.

    The scale has ended at carbon neutral for too long. I love that this shows carbon negatives too!

    I didn't like the first wall example because the clicking cadence changes, but the field and trees were very clear

    Slatlun ,

    There are weirdly rigid common names around birds. There is a whole thing about renaming them right now. They are essentially regulated terms that low level pedants respect. They are the same types of people who would correct you for calling Frankenstein's monster 'Frankenstein'.

    The plant community is better. You could call a "sunflower" a "tall flower" and nobody would care. You might get a "oh, I've never heard that one" but never "there's no such thing as a 'tall flower.'" They just fall back to the scientific names when clarity is important.

    IMO common names should just be useful. I will call any gull a seagull when talking to non-bird people because that is a term that is commonly understood and how effective communication works.

    Slatlun ,

    I absolutely agree that there should be a official name. My problem with birds is that there are 2 official names. The American Ornithological Society approves both of them (kind of). One is Latin/Greek/whatever in Genus species format - that is the one for science literature and taxonomy. The other is in English and silly in my opinion because that's where people will use it to say nonsense like there is no such thing as a seagull.
