Justice for Juicy!

There is something deeply disturbing about the cats face. I know this is a static picture but it feels like it will, at any moment, continue to turn round and stare straight at me

Levar already looking blind in his photo, he must’ve been researching the role

If anyone is interested: within the cells of the garlic clove, the two precursor molecules of allicin (alliin and an enzyme called alliinase) are kept separate. Alliin is stored within the cytosol of the cell, whereas the alliinase enzyme is sequestered in bubbles called vacuoles. When the cell wall and vacuole is disrupted through crushing or chopping (or attack by insects, fungi etc) the two molecules meet and react, eventually forming the short lived molecule allicin, which as has been pointed out, contributes significantly to garlic’s characteristic aroma and flavour.

Incidentally, the compartmentalisation of the allicin precursors protects the garlic plant from self harm. As the allicin molecule is highly reactive, collateral damage to the plant’s own cells is localised only to sites of tissue damage from microbes and other attackers.

I think this only applies if the two actions occupy the same space, and change when pressed? If I saw a separate play and pause button, I’d assume play means play and pause meant pause. If I saw only one button for play, I’d probably assume it was currently paused/stopped.
