The ingredient is an adblock like Ublock, bur some browsers have native adblocker or privacy settings that are enought for that. Recipe Sites are notoriously terrible.

Whoever made the Milk Hill formation: you’re an artist like few other. If we treat these crop circles as land art, this is one of my favourite of all times. Do not hide if you do this - except from the farmers whose harvest you ruin, maybe - it’s…technically difficult.
- Comment on acceptable screws 8 months ago:
slotted screws are all fun and games, but if they’re ruined…you will never get them out. I coursed these screws. Eventually they got the dremel treatement.

The young one is like this. She does not care about human food. But the big ones haven’t been trained by me, so they do misbehave. I have to keep an extra eye because most of the food we eat is not fit for cats. Secondly: the vet gave me a precise diet and they better keep it, else they can’t hide they snatched food as they usually do not digest it fine. Than there a stray cat who is absolutely educated and only easts his food.

For a limited amount of time and according to the thermic treatement. Pasteurised milk and dairy should be refrigereated. Similarly, cheese must be set at ~4-8°C temperature range. Also in the EU cheese can be made with regular milk as long as it is processed accordinfly, with many exceptions (there’s abound to be thousands of cheeses in the EU). Sterilised milk (121°C treatement) is labeled as UHT (ultra high temperature) can instead be conserved just fine, and can be used to make cheese if you add a starter microbe to the mix. Milk is frail, whenever it spoils, it smells like no other thing on earth. And it stinks the fridge worse than mercaptanes in a chemistry lab. You ever smelled mercaptanes? It’s an experience
- Comment on Gameplay mechanics were also a lot better with more replayability. 8 months ago:
Of course I still have the manual of these old games. The characters were always hand drawn and properly described. For rpg they also used a nice medieval fantasy style. A lot of these descriptions were not even necessary but they were cool to have.
We don’t miss these games because they were inherently better, but because they were fun in their own way, and enhanced creativity due to their own limitations. Also these were console games, so you had a specific time and hardware to play them. It’s not like a moder multiplayer pc game, that somehow follows you beyond the gaming time, and that are played on the same machine you use to work.
Sometimes I feel like these games are exhausting when they take so much energy. Than you have updates, tierlists and a new meta every week. I used to sit down and play without thinking at anything else on old consoles. Still do. They don’t send me unwanted notifications. Than you have all the lootboxes gacha stuff.
Games were technically limited but built a simple and fun experience.
- Comment on Have you ever seen coal in real life? 8 months ago:
It’s a dark rock…for reasons I have lumps of coal embedded in the concrete of the basement
I have no idea how they got there. Probably the coal used when they wete pouring the concrete left there. Again, no idea

As for the last question, yes the murring and the tail thingy aren’t forbidden, to be clear.
- Comment on Anon buys an air fryer 8 months ago:
Air friers are good in a modern kitchen, which is where you find them. Ideally, we would like to have a large restaurant kitchen with all the tools and the workstations, but if we can’t we accept compromises, the air fried being one of them. It’s good where it is meant to be, a tool in a regular kitchen
- Comment on Anon buys an air fryer 8 months ago:
Everything is better fried tho.

I forgot about uranium glass! That looks cool…too bad uranium is what it is. Anyway here’s a radium dial or what remains of that: postimg.cc/WhWWY0Sc
- Comment on bioluminescence 8 months ago:
The safest variant are tritium capsules, that contain a small amount of tritium of various colours, within a robust glass capsule. Tritium is one of those mildly radioactive compounds that can only emit up to alpha and beta rays, which are conveniently limited by the glass container. Radium emits a small amount of gamma rays, those can pierce through glass and iron. Now, phosphorus is the element that gave the name to the phosphorescence phoenomenon, so it is a relatively safe light-sensible coating that can have a small glow in the dark according to how much light it absorbed before, but in large amounts it isn’t good. Marco lodola used neon astethics to make these sulptures that are basically made of light in a dark room:

It’s fairly easy to find radium dials up to these days. You can spot them based on the yellowish and crumbling look of the paint or once luminous compounds. They may not be glowing any longer but they retain their radioactivity. By contrast, tye greenish white paint on dials is usually tritium.
- Comment on bioluminescence 8 months ago:
They had a whole sets of beauty products based on radium in the 20’s of the past century. They had several peculiarities such as natural luminescence and a unique place white colour that used to shine in the darkness. I needn’t to say that this was obviously one of the most dangerous and damaging things you could apply to your body. tho-radia was a body lotion and a brand that took pride in using radium in many ways, including a product for teeth. Radioactive theets, imagine that. I hope you don’t come across one of those old bottles in an antique shop, as they are still dangerous.
