I cook a lot, I strongly agree with avoiding things that only do one thing.

That slapchop looks real handy, don’t it? Wait till you gotta clean it. Any time savings are instantly lost, and now you have nooks and crannies for bacteria/detritus to hide in.

Look, generally speaking: if you don’t see professionals using something, there’s likely a good reason for it. Maybe you’re doing something smarter than a pro. But that’s rare, remember that.

Water weighs about 8lbs/gallon (1kg/L). When you’re eating soup, the actual flavors/salts/veggies take up about 20% of the weight, tops. Additionally, volume is far decreased, so you can have more food in a smaller container. Finally, bacteria have nothing to work with in material without water. Just add your local water when you need it, it’s already there.

So, buy dry goods to reduce shipping costs for both you and the producer. Ship only the food part of food, not the water. The costs are much lower, for all the reasons above.

You’re right, sometimes it is. However, in a society whose existence is centered around consumption, beware the salesman. The point is to think about the purchase: most of the time you don’t need it.

Regular watch, my $60 watch has traveled to 5 continents with me over the past decade. Lightweight, has a dim illumination when needed, and ticks right even after some rugged adventures.

I honestly wouldn’t ask a smartwatch to handle what I’ve put my regular watch through.

Not beneficial, both your comment and your attempt at rationalizing use of booze. In excess, both are bad. A trite truism.

The point, which hasn’t changed, is that it takes a lot more smoking to cause damage equivalent to what booze causes, even in small amounts.

I’ll also remind you, this whole thread is a response to a silly meme about boozehounds laughing at potheads.

Hey cope, thanks for the reply. Consider how we use alcohol to make things like turkey, pork etc tender. Alcohol breaks down fibrous connective tissue, so your bourbon-bbq pulled pork is especially soft and succulent the longer it’s been marinated.

Now, consider what happens in your body. A toxic solvent agent reaching all corners of your body, vs an irritating cloud of ash which gets trapped in your alveoli. Neither is good, but evidence strongly suggests that it’s harder to hurt yourself with flower vs booze.

For the record, I partake in both on occasion, but I definitely think alcohol is worse for me, personally. Everybody’s different.

There’s a lot of stuff on pubmed, here’s a quick one on lung hazards from cannabis: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32285993/

Sigh. This guy again.

Check out OPs other posts, don’t interact as s/he/it wastes everyone’s energy, exactly as the question indicates. Beware.

[DISCUSSION] What director(s) do you think have the best filmography?

I was checking out the new season of Fargo, which made me want to rewatch the 1996 movie and I got to thinking, the Coen Brothers have a fantastic filmography. They have way more hits than misses and they make some of the most interesting movies out there. No Country for Old Men is probably one of my favorites of all time. So...

I don’t know enough of his history to genuinely wish he’d died sooner, but several people I trust found him & Nixon to have been the architect of a lot of problems we as Americans currently face.
