It's Good News Friday! (CLIMATE CHANGE)

Insulting you for your stupid wrong answers is so much fun you had to get in on the game. We get the feeling, but you could try to stop being so wrong so we all to not want to insult you. You are really not getting the facxt we could get along just fine without you making us want to insult you.

You just don't have to do it. But if you are going to kick your own ass, good one!.

Yes, as the saying goes,
"Horseshoes, hand grenades, and scientific measurements."

When you're cooking it's not going to matter much. It's also not going to matter much withn a fake pop quiz on a message board.

I thought you had me on ignore?

I chose not to.

I knew you couldn't stay away, sweetheart!

For sure. That’s why recipes never tell you to bake anything longer at over 5000 feet, where the boiling point of water is 202° or less.

No fair, I got put on ignore

Unless you’re baking, recipes don’t have to be precise if you know what you’re doing.

But if you want to make sure you kill all the nasty bacteria, then you need to know the proper temps to do that at. If you don’t know what temp water boils at, how can you be trusted to know what temp kills bacteria?

Giving it the stink eye won't do it?

I don't think Subway bakes its bread in-store anymore.

I am pretty sure bacteria are just a topping at subway and if you kill them you probably wipe out any nutritional value of a subway sammich. If you are not paying for the bacteria on the different cultures, or what they call ingredients, then what are you paying for? How much could it actually cost to employ a FF and buy a bunch of containers for things to rot in?

Query: is there anyone who DOES follow defense supply chain stuff?

Mostly accurate. They make practically all of the gunpowder for small arms, but tank and artillery round propellants are mostly nitrocellulose with some other high explosive in the mix like RDX or nitroglycerine.

Side note: a master gunner I served with once pulled a sheet of something that looked kind of like paper out of his pocket and lit it with his lighter. It burned in less than a second.

He was showing us a piece of nitrocellulose.

Here’s the original published study if anyone is interested.

Okay, now we know who to blame for climate change. It's so obvious I'm shocked I didn't see it before.

Rafael?
