Tattoo Ink Moves Through the Body, Killing Immune Cells and Weakening Vaccine ResponseIt’s good that you’ve expressed misconception as the source of this opinion, and admitted to your lack of understanding. The rest of the work could fall in nicely, if you put the effort forth. I’ll give ya one for free: “the culture around it” isn’t some singular entity, but a varied and colorful amalgam of countless inspirations, backgrounds, beliefs, reasons, etc., and the only thing that oversimplifying does here is stunt your personal growth.
You got this.

Scientists identify a speech pattern that is a clear indication of a person in cognitive declineIs it “covfefe”?
Or, maybe audible, random capitalization?
Ooh, I know! It’s proudly declaring “acing” sanity tests?

Hydrocolloid teaThank you. We only do each other and the culinary community a disservice by leaping over the entirety of history that led the individuals above to the discoveries and products we know today.
I’d also like to add that “fluid gels” are a state of matter, not unlike “plastic”, and clarity of use-case, etc. in declarative statements regarding invention/discovery is helpful, if not standard, while showing a mutual respect for one’s audience and peers.

The hidden mental health danger in today’s high-THC cannabis1.) It’s stupid easy to grow your own for next to nothing, in “stealth” containers ranging from 5gal buckets to full-on multi-plant gargants. (See: “space buckets” — and check your local laws)
2.) It’s called weed for a reason. Set a reminder on your phone to water, prune, tend to your buddy. Spend as little or as much as you feel like, depending on how into the new, meditative hobby you’ve embarked on.
3.) Realize you’ve been spending far too much on something you can set & (mostly) forget.
4.) Enjoy!

Hydrocolloid teaTo be fair, while certainly impressive as a culinary product, Chris Young did not “invent the technique” inherent in this process — he adapted it to a commercial foodstuff. 🤌
One can say that Edison invented the lightbulb (FYI, he stole it), but claiming he invented illumination is ridiculous.

Hydrocolloid teaI appreciate the maturity in your response, so I say this with respect: fluid gels as a foodstuff may’ve been discovered within that timeframe, but have been around for quite a while longer than that. I’m all for sharing and inspiring others with the wonders of clever gastro adaptations, so let’s try to keep the phrasing accurate rather than risking it being inadvertently cheapened by hyperbole.

The hidden mental health danger in today’s high-THC cannabisYep. I had a close friend that accepted a grip of shrooms from some random chicks at a house party, only to find out the hard way that night that his estranged (since ~birth) father’s side of the family had a high risk for schizophrenia… Be careful, friends. Knowledge is power. Use your damn brains, please.

Research shows ‘compliment sandwich’ no longer effectiveFrankly, it’s always seemed to me like a polishing of the turd inherent to “Nothing matters before the ‘but’.” It’s exactly that old bullshit, plus another pandering half-thought at the end. The shit sandwich is the fastest way to lose my interest, much less respect. 🤌
