I radially dice my onion. To me it seems like the horizontal and vertical cuts leave more uneven bits considering the layers already present. I angle my "vertical" cuts towards the center, then start chopping.

That's ok. They prefer it that way because it gives them cover to go unwitnessed.

Probably slightly more generalized like a urologist chat.

A lot of restaurants add a dab of pancake batter to scrambled eggs to help make them fluffy. In that case there's some leavening in the batter. I guess a touch of plain flour would add a little body to it? I wonder if self rising flour would be a better choice for fluff?

Years ago I printed out a copy of a weights and measures chart with common ingredient substitutions and taped it inside a kitchen cabinet. I've found it incredibly convenient.

And this is how we become our grandparents. 🥴

👋

I'm bad about remembering.

Then again, I suspect I somehow may have ended up with the good gene as I have incredibly dry ear wax. On top of that I typically use antiperspirant instead of deodorant anyway, because I dislike feeling wet.

Straight water doesn't make me sick, but unless I'm already pretty thirsty (working hard/exercising outside in summer) and it's full of ice, I find drinking water unpleasant.

I'll drink water when I have to, but I'll drink flavored/calorie free drinks because I enjoy them, thus staying far more hydrated.

Yeah, if the take away is that we need to cut out all fats, salt and sugar, then we're missing out on basic nutritional needs. Our bodies REQUIRE fat, salt, and sugar to function properly and for overall health, just in reasonable amounts.

Is my one life really more important than multiple other peoples?

I'm not saying your life is more important than multiple others, I'm pointing out the risk you're asking others to take. If the person you're asking to take that risk has responsibility to their own family, children, possibly elder family members, then we're still discussing impacting the lives of multiple people on both sides of the fence.

I agree that testing like this is shit, but until that's changed or at least somehow improved, then "just lie about it" is an unrealistic expectation.

Ok, would you be willing to gamble your career and freedom on her word that she tested dirty because of eating a salad?

Because your name would be on the paperwork and one of the first individuals pulled in if something questionable happens a year from now and they start auditing. That's what you're suggesting other people do with their lives.

Plenty have been fighting for it, but there's an uphill battle against "but that's socialism and socialism is evil!" and those that personally benefit financially who stand in the way.
