Yeah, depends though. In China they still do that, but they don’t cook it to mush.

Ah, ok. Reading aloud, yeah, I agree.

Like I said, straw man. Homemade bread versus Wonder doesn’t mean I except freshly picked wheat grains. That’s absurd.

I grew up when it was thought that large corporations made the good, healthy, hygienic foods. Healthy foods invented by science, like margarine with trans fats, and Tang instant orange juice that the astronauts drank in space! Wow! And now the scientists tell us trans fats are the worst. Great...

Like what’s done to make Wonder bread, all the stuff they add to it what one wouldn’t add at home.

Well, but most people don’t read Beowulf or El Cid or Das Nibelungenlied in the “intended” original. Question is to what extent Shakespeare can be understood by modern English speakers without recourse to annotations.

Sounds like she sets up a straw man for what people mean when they say “natural” and “unprocessed.” For example, I’d say this is natural and unprocessed:

Thanks, had never heard of her before.

Yes, but you only do that with certain material, usually bedding, which is called “kochfest,” literally “cooking firm,” but meaning “capable to withstand temps of 90+ C.”

That’s why hotels never get ‘em. Cause they wash the sheets every day!

The article admits that warmer water is better. Though if you buy the special cold water detergents, it should be fine. Otherwise, “you may not need to resort to these specialized products in most instances.” But maybe you do.

I think they hide in little nooks and crannies around the bed. If it were just a matter of washing the sheets well, don’t think we’d be hearing about them much.

Wow. I’m single and do three loads a month.

We also became a car culture and no longer city-centered. People moved out of the cities and their centers decayed. In Europe, you don’t have to plan on what to do when you get there, cause you are usually brought right to the center of town and there’s shops and things to do around the station. Just choose the…

Well, this, from the article above, isn’t true:

Yeah. I know you’re not supposed to say it—naive!—but not everyone masturbates.

Like they said, it’s not about “hiding.” You admit, we withhold information—”every detail of your sexual history”—all the time. Nothing wrong with that. We are not in a confessional, after all.

Hmm. Opposite with me. I started counting in my late 20s, cause the number was way too damn low...

Yes, I could have.

I didn’t live in Roman times! With “back in the day,” I meant like late 1980s, early 1990s.
