And have in fact stolen by broodje haring straight out of my fucking hands as I raised it to my mouth to take the first bite. Fucker hit me from behind and curved in at the last second. Zandvoort Summer 2010. Never forget, never forgive!

Probably could not get a person to the moon and back, alive. Agree.

Ok then we have different definitions of “orbit” and “leaving.”

Agree with your sentiment internet friend, but might want to drop that last sentence. We, uh, did go to the moon, right? Right?

I have a jar of sodium citrate in my pantry and have only pulled it out once since I bought it. I need to be more proactive about my pantry!

A cheap blonde beer is a very good idea, thanks! We have premade mixes (and premade in a bag) here in NL, but I’ll be by myself tonight,. I will eat the entire pot of fondue myself. Which I think we all agree, is a bad idea.
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
And now I want fondue but the fondue restaurant here is usually booked months in advance.

They are not, objectively good, but they are very useful as an emulsifier for cheese sauces. One kraft slice can emulsify a liter or more.
That said, there is something nostalgic about a grilled cheese using cheap American white bread and Kraft slices.

Eh easy yes, fast not at all. I only make it for my one other X’er friend who hates, hates, hates may exactly because of Hellmann’s. It traumatized him as a child.
Kenji’s mayo recipe I make literally every week. Easy and fast. Said friend will not even look at it.

Yeah alas the subreddit for it did a lot of the heavy lifting for me - they took apart every study (I helped) and had some good sidebar (or was it pinned, been so long I cannot remember) info to counter the “dumb reactionary shit.” I am pretty sure the sub got baninated, but I haven’t been back to reddit since I rage quit after the API debacle.
When I first started vaping in 2011 (after smoking two packs a day for decades), there were a lot of solid, research-based web boards, but I think social media killed them, as it did so much.

I am someone who used to do medical research for a lot of money. I’ve interviewed chairs of FDA committees, trial designers, and active trial leads on phase III (mostly) research in pharma and biologics. I still have access to PupMed via my old friends.

My guy/gal/nonbinary pal: pls see the references in this medicpro.london/…/vaping-and-popcorn-lung-separat… Diacetyl has been widely banned since 2014 in all but the most trash Chinese vape juice, and quality vendors never used it in the first place.
Also the supposed cases of popcorn come from one source. Some dude in California who cut his cannabis juice with it, and in every single case the kids that got sick were using his juice in vape pens, not actually vaping. It’s Friday night here and I’d rather not track the story down but if you really want it I’ll find it.
As a former life long smoker, vaping (which is the front line treatment for cessation in the UK) saved my life. Now, however, the shops pushing disposable vapes with super high nicotine salts on to kids - which is illegal almost everywhere - they need to die in a fire. The kids don’t get hooked on "vape;’ they get hooked on nicotina because those damn things are the equivalent of smoking two or three regular cigarets in one puff.

Data? No, because there is none. And I have read every.single.study. They are all fucked in some way or another whether it’s methodology or the stats or the sample size/composition. Not a single real in vivo study. None. There is exactly one researcher in Greece doing decent work, and that’s it. I took a career change from my previous and now present career and worked in pharma and biotech research.

Startpage is the business, can confirm. Only default on FF on my work computer though, boo to Safari (and the dumb add on that doesn’t actually add it).
