It’s like “Wisconsin Roulette” for me, and I definitely pick my battles because I do love cheese. Sometimes I can eat a whole plate of mozzarella sticks and be (relatively) fine, other times a sprinkle of Parmesan will double me over in pain. The dairy free cheese is only like 30 cents more than the regular, so I just stick with that to be safe.

I have to use the dairy-free cheese (lactose intolerant), so perhaps it doesn’t bind it together as well? I do know I used to be a lot better about not ruining it during the flip lol

That basically describes 9 out of 10 times I try to make an omelette. I call the failed attempt “scrambled eggs with benefits” and they’re usually just as good as or better than the omelette would have been.

I don’t remember what publisher made the ones we inherited from grandma. I recognize World Book, but I can’t say that’s what they were. I’m not sure if those old encyclopedias are still floating around somewhere in the family or if whoever had them last finally got rid of them.

A lot of the info in them was definitely still solid, agree.

I grew up in the 90s, so we had Encarta for most of the time I needed an encyclopedia.

It also wasn’t uncommon to have a (partial) set of encyclopedias at home. You could buy them, one or more volumes at a time, over the phone or occasionally from door-to-door salespeople. We also had an old set from the 60s that we inherited from my grandmother.

I went like 90% vegetarian and switched to the meat substitutes. If I can do it, anyone can. I’ve always had a meat-a-saurus diet until 2-3 years ago.

Is any food named after a place ever actually from that place?

Champagne notwithstanding.

To achieve this goal, Cern scientists have built transportable devices containing superconducting magnets, cryogenic cooling systems and vacuum chambers where antiprotons can be trapped, avoiding contact with normal matter, and carried on seven-tonne lorries.

Antiprotons. So basically an anti-hydrogen ion.

I mean, yeah, that’s kind of how it is here, but there are usually 12 to 15 self checkouts all being monitored by one person. They’re constantly going from machine to machine doing that, so you’re often stuck waiting for them to get to you. It’s ridiculous on multiple levels.

Awesome, thanks!. If you need any info, just let me know.

🙃

I’m guessing the phrase originated with people who have money?

Oh, that’s handy.

With present tech, I don’t think so unless the area where you’re being tracked is full of equipment that can read the tags (think big RFID readers like you see on the exits of stores). Unless the tracker implant is fairly large to be able to contain/harvest power to power their own active transmitter. Then it would probably be noticeable or at least uncomfortable.

I’m basing this on the fact that we chip pets with passive tags, and those don’t seem to suffer any kind of rejection/infection.

I signed the pledge to not ever federate with them, and unlike the DARE pledges they made us sign in school, I’m taking this one seriously.

Oh no :(

I learned so much from him over the years. Used to visit HowStuffWorks almost religiously.

That would explain Jeremy Bearimy

Also curious myself. Tesseract’s listing is out of date, and clicking into it, it says “App doesn’t exist”. (it totally does lol).

Short answer: Yes

Long Answer: Good lord. Yes, it would be something a bad person would do.

In effect, any gains you make will be blood money. Have fun with that on your conscience.

Eventually, “our” pretty much always becomes “my”.

Why? I’m not clear, but power corrupts regardless of the political system surrounding it (e.g. look at pretty much any HOA).
