lol all the honey we get literally crystallizes in a few weeks unless we leave it in the dark in the pantry so I’m not really sure what you’re talking about. Maybe we just live in an area with so much honey it’s easiest to get real honey suppliers?

I’m very confused, can’t you just leave a spoon in the honeypot as well? Like, I’ve literally done this before, dipped a spoon in to our honey jar, spun it around to keep it from dripping, put the amount I wanted in my cup of tea, and put the spoon back in the jar. But usually I just get whatever amount I want on my spoon and then I stir my tea with it. It gets 100% of the honey off, I get to stir my tea to mix the honey in, and I get the exact amount I want, no guessing needed.
I mean if you like the dipper then you go for it, but I don’t really see the advantage here, even with usability, maybe just a tad easier to spin.

you can get local honey in squeeze bottles… literally the grocery stores in colorado sell only local honey (never seen honey from elsewhere here) and it’s all in squeeze bottles. Now it’s not like small-batch cottage foods, but it’s still local, created in the state of CO.
I get honey from my next door neighbor, and since we have catnip plants all his honey tastes like catnip, and it’s good, but the stuff from the grocery store tastes just as good, it’s just not a unique taste like catnip.

I’m guessing that depends on where you live. In colorado literally every bottle in the grocery store is squeeze and they’re all locally grown real honey. I don’t even know where you could live where the honey wouldn’t be real. If it’s labelled honey it can’t be something else???

lol do you not have any other bugs in your house? houses aren’t built to be airtight because you’d literally have trouble opening and closing doors due to suction or pressurization. if they’re not airtight then bugs can get in

Because Samsung has done this to literally every one of their other products, even ones without screens, and only apps, like Samsung SmartThings and their washers and dryers.

They did sell it in America at one point, I remember it at the grocery store. Target still has a listing for it. www.target.com/p/…/A-87562774, but it’s ‘out of stock’

- Comment on It's always about dat math 2 weeks ago:
I’ve never really compared it to meat so that’s interesting to me because I eat my steak rare or medium rare. But raw dough just isn’t how I imagine pizza is supposed to be eaten, especially when that’s not how it was cooked before Covid.
- Comment on It's always about dat math 3 weeks ago:
I really don’t think it’s my area. I’ve traveled all around the world the past few years, three countries in Europe, two coasts of Mexico, Belize, Honduras, and 9+ different US states. After Covid every pizza place just stopped cooking their pizza as long. Don’t get me wrong! The flavor is still fantastic at all my local pizza joints and the high end pizza places I’ve tried elsewhere. But they’re cutting corners with cook time, even if you tell them well done. And it started with Covid and raising prices because they could. They were selling more than they could cook so they normalized short cook times and people got ok with it. Except me and my wife. We’re like the only people that noticed this crazy decline in pizza quality.
- Comment on It's always about dat math 3 weeks ago:
I do. Every time. They still barely cook it. Which is why going in to pick it up is still better, cause i can see and tell them to fix it which you can’t really when it’s delivery.
- Comment on It's always about dat math 3 weeks ago:
With covid, pizza places stopped cooking their pizzas fully. We get a soggy mess, with a soft crust, and way too much cheese every time. On top of that you’re still waiting for the delivery on a route of x other pizzas. It’s faster and better to just pick it up yourself. And then you can check it and tell them to cook it properly when they inevitably don’t cook it all the way through.
- Comment on It's always about dat math 3 weeks ago:
Yeah like i said, people are using them, but it’s almost guaranteed to be an even spread across the population.
- Comment on It's always about dat math 3 weeks ago:
Once you learn how to reduce a lot of that, there is less waste and less cooking and waiting and yes the food is better than food delivered to your door. Even the cheapest frozen pizzas are better than the majority of pizzas delivered to door and pizza companies are the best at delivering fresh food to your door.
If you don’t want to do dishes then use paper plates. Like, you can both simultaneously generate less trash and have better food.
I agree that it’s impossible to keep up with chores. I do just a little every day and that helps keep the number down but it’s still impossible. But like if I’m going to get food from a restaurant (which i do) i go pick it up. It will get to me faster, I’ll eat it fresher, it will taste better, and it will be cheaper. Like the only upside to the food delivery apps is that you don’t have to go outside, which honestly is a downside for a lot of people in this day and age. We need people to interact more.
- Comment on It's always about dat math 3 weeks ago:
Wide sweeping generalizations about entire generations. I don’t know a single millennial that uses those food delivery services. Clearly someone is using them, but i guarantee it’s just about evenly distributed across the population.

For gdpr it has to be available for a “reasonable price” from what I remember. Facebook has gotten in trouble for this due to the high price they’re charging.

They’re doing that because of the GDPR.

It doesn’t have to be edible. Glue, gelatin for skin mimicry, clothing, and bones for weapons, etc are all non-edible uses of animals.

Yeah I’m pretty sure this chart is incorrect. For example bizbuysell states that vending machines have much higher profit margins, with the low end being almost 50%. www.bizbuysell.com/…/most-profitable-businesses/
So either Cornell is measuring differently or they’re not including certain industries.

The thing is, I was a voracious reader since I was a kid. I started reading early and never stopped. My school had competitions to get kids to read and I always won by a landslide, so I honestly probably heard or read the term then, but couldn’t tell you when. Could have been five, could have been fifteen years old.
About the only specific thing I remember about anything with a name when I was a kid was that the first book I ever failed to finish was Anna Karenina, when I tried to read it in fifth grade since it was worth the most points in the reading competition.
Other than that, it’s amazing to me that people really remember anything specific about their childhood, because it’s all a blur and blank to me.
