Ground white pepper should do the trick if you have some. It’s 99% heat and 1% pepper flavor so it would be a good stand in for horseradish. My brain first went to ground ginger but it won’t really be a good sub for horseradish. Though it may taste good given the other ingredients. If you don’t have white pepper, I’d just up the cayenne. It doesn’t have that nostril burning quality to it but it’ll be spicy nonetheless

I’m about to have a g*mer moment over that. Disgusting

I’m hyped as fuck for season 5. It’s gonna be a good one

As a former taco bell employee, I am compelled to request that you remove any mention of the refried beans secret ingredient

I don’t necessarily disagree that cats don’t have as much emotional depth as humans, but I also think you’re selling them a bit short on their ability to think abstractly or emotionally. And it of course varies from cat to cat. They can express fear, affection, curiosity, frustration, satisfaction, anxiety, depression, caution, anger, overstimulation, desire, boredom, jealousy and plenty of other emotions. If you pay attention to body language and their vocalizations/ lack of vocalization, you can interpret much of what’s going on in their heads. They’re very expressive creatures much of the time. I’m not really anthropomorphizing either. I do that, cause they’re cute little goofballs, but it’s a voluntary effort I put in when I want to fawn over them a little. It’s easy to notice when I’m anthropomorphizing them and when I’m observing their emotional state, as they’re usually separate from one another

What do you think of the fact that the GOP is responsible for the vast majority of overspending the US does? They consistently drive up the national deficit every time they’re in a position to do so. They deregulate and remove the teeth from federal agencies, bitch about how ineffective the government is at dealing with things, deregulate more, cut taxes for the wealthy, drive up taxes for the poor and middle class, and then shovel our money into the Pentagon. If you were actually compelled by small government and less spending, you’d be voting democrat every time. They’re the only ones that actually reduce spending on a federal level

Toxic epidermal necrolysis is a severe form of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome. It’s a life threatening skin reaction that’s thought to be caused by an immune response to certain medications. The medications known to trigger TEN range from ibuprofen, certain antibiotics (penicillin being one), anticonvulsants, and steroids. We aren’t sure what exactly causes it or how to stop it. One day you’re taking something for your headache, a few days later you start getting painful red splotches on your skin. Once the first ones show up, they spread, often across your entire body. The redness grows and gets more painful, blisters form, and then your skin starts falling off! Everywhere! The only level of care at this point is to treat you like a severe burn patient, because that’s essentially what you are. With large swathes of skin completely gone from your body, the only recourse is skin grafts and management of symptoms. Infections are common during the healing process and the prognosis isn’t great. If it progresses into TEN, the odds of survival are about 50%. But don’t worry, it’s so rare and triggered by so many different medications it’s pointless to try to avoid it. If the good Lord decides to kill you with it, there’s nothing you can do about it!

For real! I work in the medical field and the amount of times I’ve heard some geriatric casually say he harassed a woman into marrying him is too damn high

Dating advice from older men in general. The shit they got away with was wild

Well said. I’d managed to quit from cigarettes using a salt nic vape. It was a bit involved though. I learned how to make my own e-juice and properly dose nicotine (very important!). I titrated my dose down gradually over about 6 months until I was off nicotine. And then kicked the oral fixation by making a conscious effort to vape less. It worked alright for me. I wound up picking up the habit again a couple of years later after going through an extended period of shit just going wrong. Trouble is, I can’t do what I did last time because you can no longer order concentrated nicotine through the mail anymore. At least in the US

Audio/video technology came to mind for me too. There’s so many layers of technological development to get to even the most basic A/V displays. And even more to have something to play on it. It’s sure to amaze or terrify some people from ages past. Similarly, navigation. Through something like a smart phone, it would probably be baffling to the brightest minds of the early 20th century, let alone centuries ago

Speakers still blow my mind. The concept of sound and hearing in general, really. It’s incredible how much information, and the variety of information, you can cram into pressure waves. The fact that we have organs and neural pathways that are not only able to, but are solely devoted to the interpretation and transmission of pressure waves built into us is mind boggling. These weird wobbly bones in our head allow us to experience the world and each other. Mind boggling.

Agreed, we’re still intuitive creatures. An elevator may seem otherworldly for a moment but that feeling would quickly fade once you saw the cables and pulleys causing the cab to ascend/descend. It may be one of those “I’ve never thought of that but it makes sense” sort of revelations over “this is impossible”

Go into your watch history and remove them after disliking it. I find removing stuff from my watch history to have a bigger impact over disliking stuff. You can also have YouTube stop recommending specific channels to you. Odds are if they’re posting Jordan Peterson content, you’re not missing anything of value by blocking them

I’ve found my people lol. Work is the only thing that motivated me to brush my teeth. On my off days, my mouth will sometimes feel gross and I’ll brush it to get rid of that feeling. When it’s not bothersome, I forget to do it

Do you live in a retention pond? How on earth does a belt get and stay damp enough to grow mold? How long has it been sitting undisturbed? I didn’t know about leather being antimicrobial until just now. Even then, a moldy leather belt just seems wrong lol
