I wanted to flatten some chicken breasts yesterday but didn't have a meat hammer, so I just put on some black vinyl gloves and started punching the chicken breasts. It was quite therapeutic, but extremely weird. I also wasn't punching the meat that hard because I didn't want to obliterate it, but a thought popped into my head whilst I was letting my inner psychopath out: is muscle tissue really that easy to mash to a gelatinous paste? Like I said, I wasn't punching hard, but the breast was getting very tenderized. But the thought of punching someone's leg and having the same happen seemed rather far-fetched? Does muscle tissue withstand abuse much better when it's being supplied with blood or?

So, we all know that birds can't taste the heat in chili. But what about wasabi? My use case is that we have magpies in the garden and they will steal anything if our backs are turned, but maybe if they got something they didn't like it would maybe scare them away for a bit? Any other ideas are also welcome, although we're not ready to go full on poisoning them.

Is there a general term for the kind of buckle thing like on backpack straps that you pass webbing through and loop back, and you can tighten the system by pulling but friction holds it in place?

I’ve tried worse ideas though.

Qubee posted:Does muscle tissue withstand abuse much better when it's being supplied with blood or? Your body constantly produces new cells, and while muscle cells are generally designed to last a long time, they can be replaced relatively quickly. Think about the time it takes to recover from injuries and you'll have the overall time it takes for those cells to be built. In the meantime the blood supply will provide attempts at relief in order to try and hold things together and dull the pain.

I stood on a well-camoflagued fire-ant nest while using a crappy pay-to-park website and didn't notice until they started biting. It looks like most of the anti-sting OTC swabs/wipes/rollons are benzocaine or lidocaine, are either or both stable if stored at 80-160F (typical closed car temps here in summer) for months so I can throw some in the car and feel smug if it ever happens again?

Why does my milk go bad so fast? It always turns sour several days before its sell by date. I don't have milk every day, just use it 1/4 cup at a time for recipes and such, every so often a bowl of cereal.

It's possible that the location it's in tends to be at a higher temperature.

the back of the lowest level is the coldest part of the fridge usually, keep it back there also, maybe try disinfecting your fridge e: also I had figured this was a given but maybe not: is your fridge cold enough period? It should be less than 4C (40F) in there

I don't have milk every day, just use it 1/4 cup at a time for recipes and such, every so often a bowl of cereal. Is it full fat? Full far usually goes bad quicker. Also, if you have housemates and someone is slogging straight from the container, that could accelerate things. Lastly, like everyone else said, check your temp, where you put it in the fridge and how often/long you open the fridge could make it spoil faster as well

Lower your fridge temp to near freezing, everything will last longer. Milk can absolutely last a week past the sell by date if kept at temp.

I don't have milk every day, just use it 1/4 cup at a time for recipes and such, every so often a bowl of cereal. In addition to the other advice, this could indicate a problem with your local grocery store or their suppliers. Is the milk stored behind glass doors that have their back to the interior of the cooler? If so, when you open the doors, do you get a whiff of rotten odors? That could be a sign of poor cleaning practices, which could also indicate a carelessness for things like proper storage temperatures or problems with rotation. An issue with the supplier is probably less likely, but worth considering if the others don’t make sense. Have you tried buying milk from another brand to see if they have the same problem? Edit: and if the milk is displayed in open faced cases that don’t have a back access to the cooler, it could mean that the stockers are putting pallets of milk out on the sales floor to stock the display cases, but being careless with how long they sit out

They’re more expensive but the organic stuff is often extra pasteurized and lasts a good bit longer.

Get ultrapasteurized milk, which is the norm in Europe, but in the United States you may have to get organic milk to get that (because the bottling facilities were built fairly recently). e: Beaten, so I will say that 1) yes, refrigerator temperature does matter and 2) ultrapasteurized milk does taste a little different.

A2 milk is also ultrapasteurized and can be easier on people's stomachs.

If you really want to never be out of milk, you can also buy milk powder and then reconstitute it whenever you want. Again, it won't taste the same as regular milk, but you can keep it in the cabinet and dole it out as needed. You do have to use hot water to reconstitute it though, so it's not like you can have cold milk ready to go 5 minutes after you discover you need milk.

You can also get shelf-stable liquid milk that lasts for several months at room temperature. I like having some around for dire milk emergencies. It’s expensive, but if you only use a box every six months, no big deal.

Ultra pasteurized and shelf stable milk are all nice products for special use but they do not taste as good as fresh (usually fresh implies local also) milk, imo. Just be careful about putting it right back in the fridge and maybe experiment with another supplier to see if there's a supplier issue.

UHT milk’s taste way closer to the taste of VHT milk than powdered milk is, so I consider it a victory.

Makes your cereals taste extra cereal. I mainly use milk just for my coffee and for that oat milk is better than cow milk imo.

Your fridge thermometer isn't an exact beast and getting some parts of the fridge to temperature may mean other parts get colder than that. You adjust that dial until everyone in the fridge is happy.

I really like coconut milk, but it definitely has a coconut taste. This is usually fine unless I'm baking, but we just have heavy cream - which lasts for loving ever comparatively - and dilute if we need regular milk.

I've got a stack of moving boxes in an empty bedroom that have been sat there for a year, untouched. I also have some curtain drapes that I've just left massed in the corner of said room. I was looking through those moving boxes to see if I'd forgotten anything, and a whole bunch of what I assume are silverfish came crawling about everywhere. Where did they come from? I live on the 4th floor of a recently renovated apartment building. Is it possible there were eggs in the cardboard boxes already and they just hatched? How can I naturally get rid of them, as I don't want to use anything that could harm my budgies. They're gross but harmless and I don't know if they'll spread throughout my tiled apartment or if they're just gonna stick to their cardboard box corner.

I've started subconsciously clenching my jaw lately. Apparently this can be a side effect of some anti-depressants I take and/or it might be caused my terrible posture and tight neck muscles. I've started wearing a mouth guard at night and that seems to help, but does anyone have any tips to help me stop myself from doing this during the day when a mouth guard isn't really practical? Or stretches?

Or stretches? Don't keep this habit or you'll end up like me with permanent TMJ which is a huge pain in the rear end. Get a mouthguard and use it constantly for a month, that's what my dentist told me. Then use it at night only after that first month. During this time, try and retrain your habit so instead of clenching your jaw, you clench your fist. This might not be helpful if it's from the SSRIs.
