I make my Caesar with kale and arugula, shave broccoli with a peeler then roast them, and add pine nuts plus roasted garlic lemon chickpeas in addition to croutons for even more and healthier crunch. It’s also delicious with just oil.
So many campaigns for recycle… but not enough on the two more important pieces - Reduce and Reuse.
Over the years I have refurbed some furniture which is a fun hobby in addition to being environmentally helpful.
I think it’s also worthwhile to pay for higher quality items that are made well and last. A nice pair of leather boots can get repaired for minimal cost and mine have lasted over a decade of very hard wear.
Most of the things on the list look like things most people would choose to have. Maybe a cheaper version, but few would choose to do without some version of the thing.
One thing I have to really congratulate you on is your product video.
I honestly think it's one of the best I've seen for any software. It showcases the functionality, displays the actual UI, doesn't rely on narration, is visually interesting, and succinct.
Along with an excellent use of music and pacing. Though it doesn't answer the "is this product for me" question, it does build excitement to make me want to learn more.
We paid for it. Greed had yet to reach the levels we see today. Not to mention the disparity between the wealthy and the average person we are currently living with.
Yes. Technology and our knowledge of the world allows for an accumulation of wealth, power, control and social status that have never been possible before.
One guess of mine (totally uncorroborated) is that the capsinoids are distributed differently as a result of being extracted (I guess with solvents?). I.e. maybe in other sauces it's in globules or crystals while in DB it's evenly spread.
For anyone who hasn't experienced it I can confirm Da Bomb is _dramatically_ more painful to eat than other sauces that have significantly higher measurer capsaicin content. And yeah it tastes like shit.
Capsaicin is a terrible time for mammals in general, but its not the only thing in the sauces. I don't know the exact mechanism Da Bomb uses, but you can easily imagine it having for example lemon juice or another irritant, that would contribute to fucking you up by enabling the capsaicin access to newer cells that would otherwise be protected from contact.
Extract-based sauces are essentially cheating in the hot sauce world. The capsaicin is chemically extracted from peppers and made into sauce, hence its tasteless and chemical-ish flavor. All of Ed Currie's sauces are made from pure pepper mash and vinegar, etc.
in the hot ones reveal for this he mentioned using pepper x distillate in the sauce. isn't that just another word for extract or am I misunderstanding?
A distillate is using condensed vapor from the distillation process, while extract is using a chemical solvent (such as alcohol) to pull a material out of a mixture. Hence with the chemical solvent, you get a less complete end product and extra (unwanted) flavors introduced into the final product.
i tried da bomb and last dab. it's amazing how da bomb tastes weirdly chemical while the last dab was quite tasteful (until the heat hit, then it was pain).
Most sauces have high scoville chilli in them but they're watered down by the sauce itself. I'd guess that da bomb has a higher overall scoville than the rest.
A lot of sauces talk about the scoville of the chilli itself rather than the scoville of the sauce.
I've also noticed that different chillis hit you in different ways. Scotch bonnet is fiery, but lasts about 10 minutes, whereas some others can last an hour and be perceived as less heat.
Orange Buffalo Viper sauce is by far the most lethal I have consumed, where this probably sits in the same league as consuming a Pepper X raw.
If you're interested in Egyptology, highly recommend "Empress of the Nile", about Christiane Desroches-Noblecourt who led many of the most notable archeology projects in the 1900's.
