Fun fact: Eucalyptus leaves and high concentrations of eucalyptus oil are toxic to humans and most animals, including koalas. However koalas are such fans of eucalyptus leaves that they have adapted their entire lifestyle around eating them. They sleep around 22 hours each day because they can only safely ingest a…

Wasn’t there an earlier, smaller, cheaper incarnation of the McWrap that came without the cardboard holder?

I’m pretty sure it was Hans Gruber that killed Dumbledore.

If you happen to be driving from Twin Falls to Idaho Falls you can stop in at EBR-I for a short self guided tour. It’s a very unassuming little facility in the middle of the wilderness but if you’re interested in nuclear power its a fun stop. The reactor core is obviously long gone along with any other nuclear…

My body is definitely 60% chocolate chip cookies so the analogy holds up.

Stir frys often call for the use of garlic in hot oil. It’s usually accompanied by chilies, ginger, onions, or other sturdy aromatics and the purpose is to season the oil. Since stir frying is a quick cooking method the seasoned oil ensures the flavor is distributed throughout the dish.

While they are close to having a standard naming convention there are too many exceptions to make it simple.

Why? Are they going to actually do anything besides the equivalent of a giant sad face?

They need to pair it with Moxie ice cream for the full Maine experience.

The moment I saw that lede image all worries of toxic chemicals were driven from my brain by an intense McDonald’s craving.

Ever since moving to southern California from a state with seasons, I have made a yearly tradition of going to Barnes and Noble, ordering a pumpkin space latte, and wandering around in the air conditioning pretending its fall.

I dump them into a half empty jar of peanut butter, give it a stir, then eat it with a spoon.

One thing I recently learned is that moisture in the air will allow baking powder to slowly react and lose its leavening ability over time. I assumed it was totally inert sitting on the shelf year after year (I don’t bake that much) and it wasn’t until I went searching for ways to improve the fluffiness of my pancakes…

“If you’re malnourished, for example, or if you’re under a lot of stress, you may be more susceptible to illness. Experts agree on that.”

I don’t understand the confusion. If its in a pie, then its chicken pot pie. If its got biscuits, then its chicken and biscuits.

Considering that the new Xbox and Zen3 are both slated for release later this year, that could be the case again.

But isn’t this always the case with new consoles? Yes, its an economical packaging of the most powerful hardware available, but its also a snapshot in time that will quickly be surpassed.

Now we know who Musk hired to design his Cybertruck.

The valves have pneumatic actuators powered by a compressor which is powered by the crank. So unless the crank is already spinning the valves can’t open. They could theoretically store compressed air and then release it to perform a start like you suggest. It would be kinda fun to hear the engine start with a “pssst”…
