He tends to dawdle away his time and accomplish nothing.
They’re more than great coats.
I’ve made this cake a couple of times. It’s quite good.
Mostly silence, but when I was in high school (some decades ago now) I had a CD of Mozart music I would put on while doing homework. I still associate Symphony 40 in G minor with grinding through tasks.
I’ll give you that they didn’t get the numbers perfectly correct with the 95-99% thing, but I don’t think the accurate numbers change the point they were making – if anything, it’s a stronger comparison. According to Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honey#Nutrition), honey is 82% sugar and 17% water. HFCS is 24% water (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-fructose_corn_syrup#Composition_and_varieties), which makes it 76% sugar.
When I say facts, what I’m referring to is that honey is basically straight high-fructose sugar, in the same way that high-fructose corn syrup is. Wikipedia: “The average ratio was 56% fructose to 44% glucose”. The HFCS that people freak out about in most food is 42% or 55% fructose. So these are very comparable sources of carbohydrates, which is one of the reasons it’s so easy to fake honey with corn syrup.
I’m not making a value judgement here, and I didn’t see one in the GP post that was heavily downvoted. Just pointing out that honey has a very similar composition as HFCS, do with it as you will.
As a bonus, my favorite use for honey is to make honey mustard dipping sauce for chicken tendies. Here’s my not-so-secret recipe: Gulden’s spicy brown mustard, honey, and mayonnaise. (adjust the ratio to your taste) And if you haven’t tried Mike’s Hot Honey, I say seek some out. You can use it in the honey mustard sauce, but I like to make myself a little yogurt, granola, and fruit parfait for breakfast and drizzle hot honey on it.
Stopped eating so damn much.
I read the The Hacker’s Diet by John Walker (who recently died, sadly) and followed his advice.
At the risk of facts getting in the way:
- You can install ad blockers
- Apps are not able to do that
There are plenty of home gamer quats too (just look for active ingredient: yadda yadda ammonium chloride) My favorite is Formula 409. I buy the industrial refills and just top up the sprayers.
One thing if you’re actually trying to sanitize: they have a contact time. You need to let the surface stay wet for a minute, or 10 if you’re trying to kill the andromeda strain.
Browser bookmarks. My trick is I make a new folder every month, for example “2024-01 Bookmarks”, and put it in the bookmarks bar. Whenever I realize I’m leaving a tab open because I want to look at it later, I put it into the current folder. That way I know it’s not lost and I give myself permission to close it.
When a new month comes around, I stick the previous folder in an “Archive” section and make a new one. It costs nothing to keep them forever, but avoids the current list getting out of control.
