Now we have to make kumis popular. I just wonder whether industrially-produced whey is too acidic for beer or wine yeast to grow in. It seems like it's the pH that makes this stuff hard to get rid of.

Agreed. Hate the public proposals. So not okay.

Greenland purposely so named to bring more settlers. So says the saga.

Nope. Old school MS Skyr all the way. :)

Never. I have this job because I am a) pedantic and b) still socially awkward.

But the occasional unselfconscious street-corner smooch can be cute. At least, I kind of liked it when a random girl driving past yelled "YOU GUYS ARE SO CUTE!" I aspire to being one half of that adorable octogenarian couple you sometimes see strolling around town.

Successful funny. I'm simply constitutionally unable to do my pedantic word-related thing. Seriously, I regularly derail perfectly good conversations with etymological asides. It's a sickness. I really should leave that shit in the classroom.

If you can't tell the difference between Scotch and rubbing alcohol, you are not a Scotch drinker.

And yet - sundresses and leggings (or whatever) aren't the same even if they reveal the same anatomical details. Compare how the upper thigh is somehow not as arresting below a pair of shorts and above the rest of a bare leg as it is peeping out above a stocking or OTK sock. β€”Or is that just me?

Classic confusion between noun and verb: Scotch, the drink, vs. scotch, "to put an end to."

Oh, and you're thinking skry.

Pretend the y is the i in "it" or "in." There you go.

Now I'm imagining Greek-yoghurt-caused climate change.

Yup. That's because it's actually a cheese. And whey is a byproduct, though probably not evil super acid whey.

Feeling better about my adult-onset lactose intolerance.

Unfortunately, whey is also a byproduct of skyr. Skyr is a cheese, it's made of curds, and curds are skimmed off the top of β€” yup β€” whey.

That's awesome! I will look into it.

Oh, heavens, rescues.

Do cats have a better nature?
