9·3 months agoThis is a trick question. It was Hillary’s fault.
things like this would make me boycott a grocery store until the end of time
yeah it is extremely frustrating how many traps there are. i think it’s because the US has a culture of thinking things are “safe until proven unsafe” instead of “unsafe until proven safe”.
learning about the paper towels, microwave popcorn, and silicone cookware made me go nuclear on my kitchen. at this point i only let food touch glass, stainless steel, wood, or ceramic. it’s annoyingly difficult to find non-plastic versions of certain things (e.g. blenders) but after doing it once i don’t have to worry about it again for 5-10 years so it’s not too bad in that context. and i haven’t had to deal with any of the traps since then.
i meant microwaving it in a regular bowl and then putting it in a colander afterwards
i think it’s even easier to use a microwave and a colander. the colander will also last a whole lot longer than a roll of paper towels.
i still haven’t found a great alternative to be honest, but at the moment i just try to see if i can somehow use a strainer/colander to accomplish the same task. but its a bit of a half-measure and doesn’t work in all contexts
ive seen quite a few tofu-related recipes say that tofu should be put inside a paper towel and then pressed to get all the water out. i think i’ve seen some non-tofu recipes advocate for paper towels but i don’t remember them as vividly
my understanding is that most kinds of paper towels are not food safe, and can contain bleaching agents, formaldehyde, and other such things. i’ve yet to find a great drop in replacement for them though. so i’ve just been avoiding/altering recipes that ask for them.
further evidence in support of my policy of not taking cooking advice from people who advocate for putting food on paper towels
i got 64gb ram so that i never had to close a tab again
another option would be to prove it from first principles using Peano arithmetic. the teacher would probably love that.
can i get a hint on that last one
the downside with this approach is that it will eventually terminate. the version in the original post has the advantage of giving me plenty of time to contemplate life’s many mysteries.
i was told you’re not supposed to microwave metal
i’m the same way, and after a while i’ve come to appreciate feeling like i don’t need the strength: if i set up my environment properly then eating healthy is one less thing i have to worry about, and i can use the leftover mental strength for other things.
i have brute forced this by not buying any kinds of snacks or sweets from the grocery store. so if i want to eat something i have to either go hungry or make a real food. (usually i end up doing both)
