Tricinosis was commonly found in pork before modern food prep. It’s likely why it was a forbidden meat in many middle eastern cultures. Look at the list of animals that spread the disease — it’s not like ancient Jews would be eating walrus.

A lot of these ancient traditions came about because someone got sick from eating or doing something.
Onions and potatoes don’t give you trichinosis.
I’d say the reboot falls apart about 2/3 of the way through. The last cylon reveals felt very Lost/Lindelof where they’d painted themselves into a corner and hadn’t planned out the ending.
Portal! Wish I’d remembered that one for my list. Such an inventive game.
And a shout out to Arashi, which was a great classic mac homage to Tempest.
I use one of those Sun thru Sat pill containers. I have one color for morning, the other for night. I keep all pill bottles I am currently taking in one box/basket and I use them to refill the dispensers once a week.
Anything I am not currently taking is in a separate box in a cabinet on the top shelf. Or, if it’s expired or I know I’m not taking it ever again, I dispose of it at the local Walgreens that has a “secure pill trash can” just for this purpose.
Lenses also gave us telescopes and microscopes. Pretty amazing discovery.
Depends on the part of Texas you’re in. Texas is a very large state.
You’ve obviously escaped the Old Spice full body deodorant for men commercials running perpetually on YouTube.
We have some of those, but that’s not what I’m referring to. We also have these right turn lanes that curve off at the intersection, but don’t have a parallel ramp to get up to speed. They just throw you into oncoming traffic. It’s dumb.
Because each state has different regulations for what’s acceptable for road design, and a lot of them are lousy.
My favorite trend is the “right turn on ramp” where you’re angled in such a way that you can’t turn your head far enough to see oncoming traffic, and you can’t see it in your rear view mirrors either. And if you are sideswiped or rear ended, you’re going to break your neck from straining to see if the coast is clear.
Start with a book called “Tog on Interface”.
The book “Design of Everyday Things” might also provide some good background.
And then there are the endless Human Interface guidelines put out by Apple and many other companies that usually try to explain the “why” behind their decisions.
A couple of strains of mosquito. We don’t need the two or three that bite humans. There are plenty of other strains that the bats and birds can eat.
No. But I did learn that if you put your sunglasses over one eye and look at it, it makes a trippy 3D motion effect.
Cellulose. Wax paper. Stuff made from seaweed and mushrooms.
It’s usually what’s called a “lettuce cigarette”. No tobacco in it.
Kate Bush “Ariel”. What a disappointment that was.
