Hopefully just food grade mineral oil and beeswax if it was a wooden bowl.

Yes, there are lots of people who do this. Type A personality from my personal experience lets the tail wag the dog at times and food has a schedule printed on it so it’s just an easy thing to do just follow the directions and schedule and fuck all context.

Life seems easier if you have the ability to put blinders on and never question why?

Because we all have to collectively wade through all the bullshit spewed by bots and people who don't even understand why the bullshit was generated or would be able to recreate the same bullshit with the exact same prompt.

Bullshit all the way down. That will be generative AI's final legacy.

Three dimensional volume for one. Ceramic and soil also will hold the heat you get from sunlight and radiate the heat back out into the environment.

Thermal mass is the key and potted plants provide that with the large volume of soil combined with the ceramicpot that if placed into sunlight will absorb the energy and radiate it back out and keep the room warmer.

Your post is excellent. Context really changes everything!

As a whole though I would say large orgs generally bring stability and stability can be boring to our brains that have evolved from thousands of years of living hand-to-mouth.

Large ceramic indoor potted plants are wonderful thermal mass vessels.

Avoid shiny plastic

For lobster at least, the sweetness of the meat decreases as a lobster gets bigger though it's more than just the same level of flavor compounds being spread across a smaller amount of total mass.

Thanks for sharing.

The world needs more examples of perseverance leading to success. I think a lot of people think success should come without perseverance. Maybe it works that way for some people but it sure doesn't for me.

Cheers

> My understanding is that it's about 20% longer for ships coming from Asia. That means a 20% reduction in annual capacity for those ships/shipping companies, which is pretty massive.

Not to be a total nit but thought it worth pointing out that 20% longer transit time for a particular transit route likely does not directly translate to a 20% reduction in annual capacity as port delays for on/offloading and other factors also determine annual capacity and they can be extremely variable as well.

Reading reviews of Chinese clone items you'll also start to see people mention an entire different product in the review than what you're looking at.

E.g you're looking at a mattress cover and the reviews and pictures are for a folding chair or a slotted spoon.

The internet of today is total trash.

When I reviewed a product as obviously fake they also removed my review. The company as a whole really kind of disgusts me now.

I had the similar experience back in 2018... Led to temporary hair loss (I remember my hair falling out in tufts) from what I believe was counterfeit hair gel (it smelled different from same product I've used for years). Stopped using the product from Amazon and only ever order from reputable sites like Sephora and Nordstrom now.

Amazon has lost all of my business for consumable goods. It's not worth the convenience to risk my own or my families health. Fuck 'em.

This is the way.
