Thank you. Okay but what is it exactly? Is it salt? Is it calcium? Is it calcium salt? What is it? And what chemical reaction does it contribute to your beer brewing?
So now are you spying on me somehow? I don’t understand apps, I didn’t pay for this, so what are you getting out of it if it’s free for me? serious question because I don’t know how the world works.
Do people have outside cars and inside cars? Do they let their inside cars sleep in bed with them? Do their inside cars use litter boxes? I have so many questions.
Huh yeah You made me interested enough to click on the Wikipedia article, and such drama behind it too apparently:
The term gasoline originated from the trademark terms Cazeline and Gazeline, which were stylized spellings and pronunciations of Cassell, the surname of British businessman John Cassell, who, on 27 November 1862, placed the following fuel-oil advertisement in The Times of London:
The Patent Cazeline Oil […]
That 19th-century advert is the earliest occurrence of Cassell’s trademark word, Cazelline, to identify automobile fuel. In the course of business, he learned that the Dublin shopkeeper Samuel Boyd was selling a counterfeit version of the fuel cazeline, and, in writing, Cassell asked Boyd to cease and desist selling fuel using his trademark. Boyd did not reply, and Cassell changed the spelling of the trademark name of his fuel cazelline by changing the initial letter C to the letter G, thus coining the word gazeline.
By 1863, North American English usage had re-spelled the word gazeline into the word gasolene, by 1864, the gasoline spelling was the common usage. In place of the word gasoline, most Commonwealth countries (except Canada), use the term “petrol”, and North Americans more often use “gas” in common parlance, hence the prevalence of the usage “gas bar” or “gas station” in Canada and the United States.
Coined from Medieval Latin, the word petroleum (L. petra, rock + oleum, oil) initially denoted types of mineral oil derived from rocks and stones. In Britain, Petrol was a refined mineral oil product marketed as a solvent from the 1870s by the British wholesaler Carless Refining and Marketing Ltd.
When Petrol found a later use as a motor fuel, Frederick Simms, an associate of Gottlieb Daimler, suggested to John Leonard, owner of Carless, that they trademark the word and uppercase spelling Petrol.
The trademark application was refused because petrol had already become an established general term for motor fuel. Due to the firm’s age, Carless retained the legal rights to the term and to the uppercase spelling of “Petrol” as the name of a petrochemical product.
Where was this when I was preparing for my colonoscopy? I’m serious. when you prepare for your colonoscopy you will also be inventing this lazy boy recliner toilet in your mind. although the butt needs to be in line with the backrest. And legs hiked up to a “squatty potty” position. This needs to be a standard piece of furniture for all people preparing for colonoscopies. Because you will be on the toilet for HOURS and the toilet seat needs to be even more cushioned, to avoid the bruises on the backs of your legs from sitting on the toilet for hours.
So many people struggle with the thought of what they should be doing with their life that they don’t actually live their life because they are thinking about what they should do. struggling for survival working so hard at jobs that pay just enough money to survive and they’re so exhausted that they don’t have energy to pursue anything further because they need to work to survive.
Just do something you enjoy or are curious about trying, if you like it great! If you don’t, try the next thing.

It’s fun now, I’ve been on Lemmy enough hours this evening that I figured out if a meme doesn’t make sense and has double digit down votes, then it’s from that insane OP.
I still can’t get over the fact that it was only a few weeks ago when I learned that Walter White is the same actor who played dad in Malcolm in the Middle. still blows my mind. What a prolific actor to take on such vastly different roles.
I zoom in on Walter White and try so hard to see Hal Wilkerson in there but I just can’t.
