Anyway, I guess the pseudoscience thread is the right place to discuss the controlled substances list, if you're being charitable enough to attribute any scientific intent at all to it. Which the guys who came up with the idea sure as poo poo didn't.

Figging is one of those silly things that kinky people like to joke about, but not actually do. At least, I've never seen anyone do it. Although I do know a woman who likes to put hot sauce on her delicate parts. That's kind of close. And Vicks Vapo rub, too. Discendo Vox posted:I answered someone's question. I don't want to keep derailing things. Yes, but we love pedantic arguments in here! I guess the definition of addiction is a slippery, so how about this: while not specifically a "drug", you can use sugar as a drug. It's not so much the sugar as the ritualistic junkie behaviors that people build around it.

ulmont posted:I thought carbohydrates were also non-essential, if the easier option for the body to use? Only kinda. You can go zero carb, but your body starts breaking down other parts of you instead. Zero carb diets work by (vast simplifications here) crippling your body's ability to process nutrients. The dieter enters a state called "ketosis", or ketogenic shock, where the body is basically sapping other systems for energy. It's a great way to give yourself cardiovascular damage, among other things. The savvier zero carb diet sellers say you only do this to lose weight, then enter a sustaining period where you just consume low amounts of carbs- but they usually package it with a bunch of other spurious health claims too, and there's not good info on how much damage being in ketosis for the weight loss period causes. There's a lot of money in selling "keto", but that's because 1) it provides a simple villain and solution, 2)the negative health effects are distant and hard to trace ethically, and 3) because nutrition is a horrible viper's nest of corruption and bad research. And maybe some other stuff involving the neuro effects of ketosis- I'd have to do some research to see where things have shifted on that. Ketogenic diets are sometimes prescribed for people with certain life-threatening conditions (particularly forms of epilepsy), but 1) that's still a minority position and the evidence is squiffy for a few reasons having to do with the limits of nutrition research/clinician bias/conflict of interest problems, and 2) it's basically viewed as a "this keeps you from dying much sooner" solution.

Until I see evidence that someone has sucked dick for a bowl of Sugar Smacks, I'm not going to believe that sugar is addictive above and beyond the ability for any pleasurable thing to become "addictive". I had a pretty lovely day yesterday, and now three bags of Strike King brand double tailed Menace Grubs are on their way to my house. Upon clicking "Submit Order" I immediately felt a wave of relief wash over me.

It's not so much the sugar as the ritualistic junkie behaviors that people build around it. That's not to say that any pronouncements based on all of this are necessarily wrong. It's just a mistake to approach a question like `is sugar addictive' as if it's a question whose answer can even in principle consist entirely of empirical science (which it cannot) rather than a mass of cultural values and biases (which it invariably is).

Friend of mine is typing up old family recipes and had some things even my keen handwriting-deciphering eye can't figure...line says "Make a custard using a ______ _____ of milk, 3 eggs; make very sweet (1/2 to 3/4 cups sugar) flavor with vanilla. It looks, based on the rest of this handwriting, that it says "using a scaub puit of milk," which I'm flummoxed by and my research into archaic units of volume led nowhere. Recipe is dated Dec. 4 1933, if it helps. Anyone have any thoughts? edit: I'm increasingly sure it's a "scant" something, my instinct would say pint but the i is definitely the penultimate letter. I took a pic:

Yeah, that person's lowercase "n"s all look like Us and the dot for the I is just too far to the right e: yeah, look at "whipping" near the top of the page. the dot's over the n in that word too, and the Ps look similar. Cactus Ghost fucked around with this message at 03:16 on Jan 17, 2017 |

Ok, yeah, after looking at the "whipping" I'm definitely seeing "pint." The other hurdles I successfully figured out were "Knox's gelatin" and a bit telling you, if you cut the lady fingers into four pieces, about how many total you should need. It's weird, deciphering handwriting is something I've always seemed to enjoy, perhaps even have a knack for. In high school I was pretty much the only person who could read my roommate's handwriting. But yeah, she's planning on actually making a little book for her dad, IIRC, taking a bookbinding seminar and everything. My family-accessible google drive folder full of recipes feels kinda lazy by comparison.

Knox Gelatin actually has an interesting little history! http://www.knoxgelatine.com/history.htm. tl;dr, Guy invents powdered gelatin, goes all Mad Men, dies. Wife inherits company, sells off mad men bullshit, focuses on developing recipes to take gelatin from fancy-shmancy dinner party treat to common use household item. Runs company for 40 years, was considered most powerful woman in the business world in her time. Not bad for unflavored gelatin powder.

How long are you there for? Pizza at Tabor Bread on Sundays is worth it. Trinket & Jam are good brunches, the latter is crazy busy on weekends though.

The local guy by me is awesome but he wont take anyone on without professional experience because the one person he tried to train once cut a finger off. UF does a butchery program, but I really don't feel like getting into crazy college debt to be a meatcutter. And "Meat Scientist" sounds cool, but probably does not translate well into dollar signs. So I just watch Scott Rea videos and mess around at home and the farm and hope the part-time position at Publix becomes open again.

speaking of butchery squadgoals - I just started curing meat again, and am excited to get back into it after a year or two of just being insanely busy at work. I have a 'fermentation fridge' that I've used for many years of beer brewing. I had tried to use for meat curing too, but could never get the humidity levels right. I finally bought a humidity controller and jury-rigged up a solution to add humidity (fan blowing on bowl of salted water, with a tea towel hanging) a few nights ago, and it seems to be holding humidity levels pretty steady. I ghetto taped it and my temperature controller to the top of the fridge (so looks pretty messy compared to if I spent a couple hours building a housing and tidying up all the wires and poo poo), but whatever, y'all are nerds, doubt you care. just have a couple duck breast "prosciuttos" hanging right now, but have some bresaola and a pork tenderloin (not sure what to call it, did it heavy on hungarian paprika and garlic) sitting in the cure - they'll hang next week.
