Do you think that someone sits down and makes a list of all items that need to be labeled as containing X, which is then updated each time a new food or recipe hits the store shelves?

Or is it more likely that regulators simply state that all foods for human consumption containing more than some percent by weight of X must be labeled as containing X?

If your goal is to ensure that consumers are alerted to certain ingredients for allergy or other purposes, you care very much about a product not getting labeled properly, and you don't really care if something obvious gets the label.

I'm not really sure why this is so hard to grasp...

That's better than MinnesNOPEda that I was going to suggest

It only makes no sense until you stop and consider how to define and implement a better rule, when the only real benefit would be to prevent people snarking about milk having a "contains milk" labeling.

I'm not sure what part is more impressive... that stars are bright enough that we can see them fron 100s and 1000s of light years away, or that our eyes are able to resolve a pinpoint of light from that distance. Both angles are kinda mind blowing!

I hate to be "that guy" but in theee cases, it just makes more sense to have some extraneous labeling rather than have special clauses in the regulation dictating when it's obvious enough that the label can be omitted.

Keeping the rules as simple as possible reduces the chances of loopholes and ambiguity, at the expense of sometimes resulting in things like a jar of peanut butter stating "contains peanuts" on the label.

Don't sell yourself short

Thanks for the rec. I've been using the BP60NB10 for about a year now since I didn't have a PC with 5.25" slots at the time, but seeing as how the WH16NS40 is currently 68 bucks on Amazon, it's tempting to grab a couple as backups.

The reason I always heard was that it's generally more cost effective to let your water heater supply hot water than to rely on the heating element in the washer. Most US dishwashers are plumbed to the hot water, so you're already paying to heat that water, may as well let it make it to the dishwasher instead of just cooling off in the pipes.

It also makes the initial rinse cycle that much more effective.

I doubt it adds up to appreciable cost savings, but it's just part of the routine at this point.

That's my mother to a T. She defends all the batshit stuff he spews by saying it's just a negotiating tactic to get to some "reasonable" compromise. Which may well be true, but it doesn't change the fact that his opening bid is always something batshit insane and/or cruel, and that he would happily go through with it, if he were allowed to.

Same here. It wasn't until I went to click in to try and figure out whether it was a clickbait title, or just Texas being Texas, that I noticed.

I think there has only been one movie that I haven't finished, even if it was only because I was comfortable on the sofa with a bowl of popcorn: You Don't Mess With the Zohan

I think the wife and I made 15 minutes before calling it quits l.

Pretty much the epitome of " I expected nothing, and I was still disappointed"

That's the Scrambler, Gary... gosh

Calzones are pretty awesome, but it's not quite the same when the toppings are not exposed to the oven to get crisped up / browned as they would on a pizza.

Cheese and pepperoni especially just hit different on a well-cooked pizza!

At least in the context of the song, I'm pretty sure the "mo' problems" part comes from the fact that having "mo' money" makes you a bigger target for people who would want to cut themselves in on your money and/or your sources of money.

I don't have specific troubleshooting advice to give, but I have been using an Nvidia Shield Pro as my main streaming device for about 4 years now. It is overpriced for what it is, but it has been rock solid for streaming via both Jellyfin and Plex.

The official Jellyfin app is definitely not as polished as Plex, but it has consistently worked for me on the Shield.

I used to work with a Ukranian coworker, who had so little of an accent that I often forgot he was not a native English speaker.

One time during a meeting, I mentioned "there's more than one way to skin a cat" and I can still picture the horrified look on his face when he processed what I just said.

In all fairness, it's a pretty morbid expression!

I know a lot of people swear by the stovetop method, but if you're the kind of person who would somehow manage to burn cereal, a Whirlypop is 30 bucks well spent. Way fewer unpopped kernels than mocrowaving, and it stirs everything from the bottom so it's almost impossible to burn.

And yes, flavacol is the magic ingredient!

I had to re-read your original comment to fully get your point, but I hear what you're saying now.

(Or maybe I just need an excuse to dip out of this thread and try to bleach the image of a de-scrotum'd testicle from my brain)

Honestly, it's the

as a de-scrotum’d testicle

part that throws me. Makes it sound like they are comparing having normal human emotions to being as overly sensitive as a bare, unprotected testicle.
