    1. rice straight out of the bag isn't 'dirty'. The stuff that comes off in water is just starch i.e. rice dust from milling off the outer husk. Washing rice only really changes the texture (unwashed is a bit sticker). There's no right way here and many European recipes ( like risotto) actually need the extra starch. Anyone who criticizes this doesn't know where they're taking about.

    2. lol whatever keeps you clean, too many people never wash their ass at all.

    3. I might try this



  • It refers to the northern part of whatever state the speaker happens to be in. It's mostly used by New Yorkers to refer to the more rural part of New York State which is North of New York City.

    Downstate is a thing, I guess, but neither upstate nor downstate are used much outside of New York in my experience.




  • “We’re not disappointed in our employees; we’re disappointed in ourselves as managers and leaders,” “The fact that a majority of Norfolk employees felt that they wanted or needed a union constitutes a failure on our part.”

    While this is certainly a better response than the typical overtly anti union stuff, it still betrays a misunderstanding of the necessity of a union. Workers need and deserve fair representation whether their employer is abusing them or not.

    100 F is roughly a human's body temp. (Actually 98.7 avg, but close anyway)

    0 F is goddam cold. (This one's pretty arbitrary ngl)

    That probably isn't very helpful.

    Fwiw, Celsius isn't much better if you didn't grow up with it. 0 C is pretty cold, 100 C can give you severe scalds. The actual range the people will encounter in weather in their day-to-day lives is all over the place regardless.

    Perhaps we are destined to stay divided

    Lol 82.4°F is hot af. Depending on the humidity it could be quite uncomfortable.

    Truly unlivable would be anything over 100.

    50 is fairly mild. Cool, but not really cold at all. Long sleeves, pants, maybe a light jacket weather.

    100°F is roughly (like really roughly) the hottest temp your likely to see in most temperate climates throughout a year. 0°F is(again really roughly) the lowest. The result is you can use Fahrenheit basically as a percentage, or a 0 to 100 temperature score to help you decide how to dress/prepare for the day. If the temperature is above or below 100 or 0 then you need to consider fairly serious precautions before going outside for any length of time.

    It's not a very precise system at all, and it obviously has no place in a laboratory or similar situation. But it does work quite well for communicating the weather to common people. There is very little desire among Americans to change to Celsius not because they don't understand it (we're all taught Celsius in grade school) but because Fahrenheit serves most people's needs perfectly adequately.

    OP is also arguing that easily recalling the boiling temperature of water (one of the big purported advantages of Celsius) is useless for most people as nobody actually measures the temperature of water while boiling it. Except, maybe, in a classroom, probably while demonstrating to children how the Celsius scale works.
