The difference is the grape selection process and how fussy they are about where they get them from. Storage time as well. 'Cool' or exclusivity factor mainly though.

As an experiment, slice/dice your onions and soak in water first for an hour or two, then strain and use. That should reduce oligos by dilution. Play with soaking time. Smaller bits or thinner slices should speed up the oligos leaching out.

I think the rings are impregnated to absorb hydrogen and sulphuric acid leakage at car battery terminals. https://www.autozone.com/diy/battery/clean-car-battery-corrosion Why not put them in a metallised bag with a silica sachet in for LT storage? The shiny bags are airproof.

Not a joke but I thought it was a surprising reimagining. This is street artist Banksy's latest offering.

Thanks chaps. I'll have to read up on the US judicial hierarchy. I'm aware of the general system but not how cases move through it between state and federal.

How does a Texas judge ban a drug as though they have jurisdiction over the whole country? I'm prompted by the abortion pill farce playing out in red state courts. For reference:

The soup contains extracts, which possibly contains more of the offending substances.

Oligosacharrides in onion can't be utilized by the body's enzymes, so gut bacteria work on it, sometimes producing excessive gas liberation. Generally, in the majority of the population complex carbs are beneficial for our gut residents but some people have an adverse reaction to them. If it has been ascertained medically that there is a recurrent underlying problem, following FODMAP protocols might be appropriate. The decision to avoid food groups should be left to a medical professional to advise. Complex carbs shouldn't be avoided on a whim. I find that the stuff I eat infrequently, like those, will cause some kind of bloating but will recede with regular use. What I think is happening here is that when one introduces a new food group, the bacteria that favour using that group undergoes a population explosion, producing a rapid evolution of gas and probably other imbalances. When the population stabilises the issue diminishes... until you stop for a while and start it again.

If there is just you and a rock for company, in space, which you are sitting on with uniform velocity, and you see another object getting larger; who is moving, you or the other rock? If you can't answer this small scenario, you can't have an answer for the complicated ones. Frames can only be arbitrary.

Thanks. Is the problem of understanding spacetime curvature analogously similar to that of whether wave functions are considered real, rather than just an abstract means to describe the phenomonolgy presented to the observer in a shareable, consensus-built format?

Is the curvedenature of spacetime just a mathematical abstraction that happens to model mathematically as a curve on paper, its actual manifestation is something competely different and not mirrored verbatim enough in our 'commonsense' view.

Could the arsenic consumption problem not appear post-useful life, when it is buried and eventually leaches? Are we not kicking that can down the road for a future generation to deal with? Is this not the major issue we are not addressing: the consequences of our present day activities have tangible consequences for those not present in this time period?

Sometimes things take a little longer...

I was thinking last night how the 'pure digital generation' are losing something that we 'analogues-cum-digital' have, and will disappear as we die off. Perhaps this paradigm change has been replicated throughout history, with other profound changes of communication symbology/media. Yes, there are tapes and phono records still being made but they are of restricted demand and not ubiquitous.

What can be plausibly done? It seems to me, through no fault of their own, the those-yet-to-be-born are going to get lost in a sea of BS and played by whoever has the misinformation upperhand at the tme.

Look forward to seeing the 2040 ultra-stealthed furry-winged variation of the F35 fighter.

Look guys, if it's more than five years old, it's probably offensive in the modern vernacular.

As long as it's unique, it might be worth a punt?

With the ubiquity of camera phones to close the gaps, the aliens should have been conclusively recorded by now.

You mean like this: conflating sexual preference with his preference to be disgusted with it as genetically programmed? The latter is not innate, I've changed my own opinion on it over time, and my disgust has changed to acceptance. I suppose that answers the OP...it is nurtured by negative messaging/exposure in some way.

I think the comparison with fashion taste is unfortunate because one can change it on a whim, but not who one is attracted to. Fashion, by definition, is ephemeral in nature.

Calcium acetate powder is white.

Chalk and vinegar would give you a cleaner product. The yellow component is someting else.

Same as glasses for long-sight. They are called plano-convex lenses: https://www.firebirdoptics.com/blog/intro-to-the-plano-convex-lens#:~:text=A plano-convex lens is,the lens being bowed outward.
