  • i love when scientists take a swamp of arbitrary language terms and decide to impose some arbitrary specific meanings on them for purposes of their specific discipline and then convince people who don't really get how language works (i.e. most people) that the definitions are authoritative. it's fun to watch the cognitive dissonance when this collides with actual usage and people get all angry and righteous.


  • note that this damage is not necessarily in the form of dissolving. it causes some plastics to develop fractures, as if you had dropped it. dont use iso on plastic unless you know it is a kind that it is safe for.

    BTW, i just just want to plug for this fact: we are all totally brainwashed by marketing that we need special cleaners for each specific thing. dishsoap or some general purpose soap like Dr bronners and water works fine for just about everything.










  • I do chicken or beef stock sometimes, and sometimes make what is like mac and cheese with oats instead of pasta (whole groats can be nice in this). You can also make sweet oatmeal without using so much sugar that it's "sickly".

    I'd also like to plug the fact that you can get a hand crank device called a flaker that lets you turn whole oats into oatmeal fresh, and do the same to other grains like wheat, rye, spelt, etc for other whole grain hot cereals.
