Bones are organs! that counts!

Lettuce grows in a bundle of very tightly packed leaves. At no part in the growing - transport - shelving - selling chain can anyone be expected to thoroughly wash between the leaves, especially near the root. Rinse your veggies before using.

On that note, try adding a little splash of balsamic vinegar to caramelized onions 👌👌

I agree, but the comment above recommends using it to caramelize onions. Maillard reactions can happen to onions for sure but the result of that is not caramelized onions.

Not to say baking soda couldn’t help, I don’t know the exact chemistry behind this stuff, but I do know that onion + maillard reaction does not yield caramelized onions

Maillard browning is not caramelization. Maillard is an insanely complex mess of different chemical reactions involving proteins, while caramelization is just sugar and heat.

I usually get these little dudes in the summer. I let them be when I can stomach it, but I have this one lamp at my desk pointed up at the wall to give me some indirect light. Occasionally a house centipede will crawl along in front of the light and cast a really long shadow to freak me the hell out.

Ominous

The niche being food for fish that share their ecosystem in larval stages, and birds/bats/frogs that share their ecosystem in their adult stage.

If we were to somehow magically remove mosquitos from existence in an instant, we’d better hope something fills their ecological niche quickly

Known in Australia as Billabongs

I understand what you’re saying here, but the set of people killed by “every disease ever” includes the entire set of people killed by mosquito-borne diseases. Mosquitoes can’t have killed more people than every disease ever because mosquitoes’ kill count is part of every disease ever.

“I don’t have to change my behavior” is the most trivially easy thing for anyone to convince themself.

This is really at the core of what I was trying to say. If i asked for a drink with gi ger beer in it and received one with ginger ale in the place of the ginger bee, I’d consider that incorrect, regardless of either beverage’s history

To be clear, the drinks labeled ginger beer in every store i’ve been to is VERY different from the one labeled ginger ale

Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing. The joke here is that designing a building like this creates a lot of work for the engineers designing the building utilities

If you’re an architect, understand that this is the MEP equivalent of fighting words.

Not a fruit i know, but if you like pineapple on pizza you might also like pickled onions on pizza

Tasty tasty plant snot

Songbirds in general can be unexpectedly vicious

You can also do it without buying an expensive plane ticket but that hasn’t stopped the idea of “raw-dogging a flight” from spreading
