No. They’re called nucleation sites. These are microscopic imperfections on the inside of the can. When you shake the can a small gas bubble might form there and after that more CO₂ can diffuse into it until the bubble grows large enough to detach and rise. A small pocket is however left behind, so the same site keeps making a steady stream of bubbles. These are what cause the can to immediately overflow when you open it. Tapping the sides before opening causes these small trapped gas bubbles to detach and rise to the surface and then it can be safely opened. If it haven’t been shaken, then there’s no need for this, though there’s no harm either.

gluten-free anything

There’s a 2023 randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial published in The Lancet Gastroenterology & Hepatology where they gave adults who self-reported non-coeliac gluten sensitivity gluten-free bread but said it had gluten in it and around 40% of them got matching symptoms. However actual gluten intake, by itself, produced little additional effect once expectancy was accounted for.

Agreed. Also, I switch it from reverse to forward every time after use even if I have more screws to unscrew.

Probably didn’t learn it from YouTube and it’s not exactly cooking related either but tapping the lid of a carbonated drink can before opening it does absolutely nothing.

What actually reduces the fizz explosion you’re trying to prevent is tapping the side of the can multiple times while rotating it so that the bubbles stuck to the inside of the can rise to the surface.

Never heard of him nor do I have Netflix.

Doesn’t matter as I would be blind and couldn’t see it.

My country has the best tap water in the world so luckily I don’t need to even think about that. It’s far cleaner than even bottled water.

Try men’s thongs. They take your balls into account.

The original one is peak-ugly. Anything you do to it is an improvement.

Please me as in fill the self-inflicted void I created by starving myself. That’s like breaking something just so you can take pleasure in fixing it.

Nah. I had high expectations for sex but it has been a letdown since my first time. I’m perfectly capable of scratching my own itch. I don’t need their help for it. You can have my sex too.

And starving myself makes shitty food more enjoyable as well but that just seems a bit backwards to me. Yet another thing to sacrifice from my own life just to please her.

Can’t say I’ve ever much enjoyed it myself either. It’s something I’ve always just done for her and I’m just happy to get it over with. One of the best things about being single is not having to even think about it.

For most construction related stuff: on the job with someone with 30+ years of experience. You can only learn it by doing it but it’s good to have someone telling what you should and should not do.

I’ve probably done something correctly in my life since I can’t say I even know what that sounds like. I think I’ve done one video call ever when I was getting my permit for hot work. I don’t remember what app I used for that.

I always use the web app when possible and when not possible, I don’t use the service at all.

The only exception I could come up with is if it’s like in a workplace meeting a question of “what do you think?” …

Lying would still be a bit pointless as you could also just say that you wish not to tell.

You’re not trying to remove a moral status but deny it in the first place. That’s different but the end result of it still seems the same.

We used to justify the mistreatment of animals with the assumption that they had no subjective experience either. I’m not suggesting AI does but I’m also not claiming it with absolute certainty does not either, and the more we develop those systems, the more likely it seems to me that at some point there’s a good chance that they will.

The psychological drive behind the urge to call something with a derogatory term is the same in both cases.

I’ve heard about this as well. Though if I remember correctly, it still requires you to go through the medical examination, and then be prescribed the pills. If you just order sugar pills online they don’t tend to do anything.

In fact, I think this even applies to things like some forms of surgery. People have thought they got knee surgery and have gotten better when in fact they didn’t.

Not sure what to conclude from this. Perhaps next time I’ll just say that my dishonest opinion is that the food was great.

(Don’t have to be) a big bucks Hollywood star
(Don’t have to drive) a super car to get far
(Don’t have to live) a life of power and wealth
(Don’t have to be) beautiful, but it helps

That is how slurs tend to be used: as a tool to dehumanize something we wish to grant no moral value to.
