I now know what a balsamic reduction is but when I first heard it I was
o.O
It makes me giggle.
funnily enough, i learned cooking before chemistry so i had the exact OPPOSITE reaction
i was all trying to fit it into the schema of a reduced sauce and was like damnit this doesnt make sense
I know nothing about coffee, but...
I'd imagine that there is enough variability in each batch that minor things like the material of the spoon used have negligible effects compared to the effect of going out and buying a different brand.
Stuff like that I always assume is just old wives' tale style stuff. I mean, pretend you know nothing about science and ignore all of the fallacies I say. Metal's colder than wood right? It feels colder when you touch it. So metal would cool down coffee more than wood. You want heat to do the extraction, so you should keep it warm so use a wooden spoon.
See, it's completely plausible if you don't think about it too much, and you'd probably believe it if someone told you and you had no scientific or logical training. I think someone just says something like that and it gets repeated ad nauseum.
Pfft.
Who you calling blondie, vanillia?
In college we told my RA that his "fight the darkness" midnight capture the flag activity was offensive because my friend was an octoroon. Not only did he miss the irony of using one drop rule terminology, he took the mock offense so seriously that we had to stop him from publicly apologizing. I felt bad but I still couldn't stop laughing.
in seriousness though, what is white guilt?
Is there a difference between white guilt and real racial awareness?
I mean, listen, I know I'm almost a self-parody sometimes with how self-hating I come off, and of course some of that is played up for effect on the internet
and believe me I am under no illusions that I am a super-white motherfucker. Like paper.
But I've also been told by a fair number of PoC that they feel a lot more comfortable talking about race with me than with other white folks, and they're glad they can vent to me without me getting offended
Like I think a lot of more moderate white people have a different impression of what "black people really think" -- i.e. that black folks really don't make such a big deal about all this stuff, it's just self-hating whites that do.
But frankly I don't think there are any whites out there, however progressive or self-hating, who can fully sympathize with the sentiments of a lot of people of color, no matter how hard you try. It's always been my experience that most people of color have some really deep and powerful reservoirs of anger towards the discrimination they experience and towards white people generally.
but, as a white guy, of course I'm not comfortable speaking for people of color or anything. Just in my experience, most people of color I've known have held many opinions that would be considered "extreme" or "irrational" by most whites.
Like if I said "all convictions of people of color are racially motivated," comments like that tend to get received with very little skepticism among non-white people. Partly I think because of context, and people get I'm not saying "no PoC has ever been guilty of a crime" or something like that, but also I think because views really do differ.
The best lets play.

I like. Stephen Fry is best human.
Organichu: I say Israel can have all of those except the Egyptian bits.
Cause Egypt is cool.
still no mention of the ideal temperature, but it is very interesting.

Boo. Panic attacks are awful.

I've panicked myself into puking before, certainly

I think the problem is when you then assume it is true because of this.
1 scoop to 2 cups generally, which is basically what the chart says just with more SCIENCE
EDIT: given that a "scoop" is about an ounce, ounce and a half of ground coffee
I wouldn't be putting my degree in physiology and neuroscience to good use if I weren't, now would I? :P
And mine were garlic eaters
regardless, we were both born with tons of privilege, which we have now
white guilt is stupid if what you mean by white guilt is guilt for slavery or something
but all white people in America have some degree of privilege as a result of their race, which is an unfair benefit that others do not have.
and it does come at the expense of others, pretty much definitionally
so, to the extent that you want to feel guilty about that? I'm not sure -- certainly you're not at fault for what color you were born.
But awareness is definitely preferable.
I suppose this is what comes of individual states not worrying about going to war with one another.
White guilt is the secret shame of throwing on yesterday's undies for a quick trip to the convenience store.
About half of them were black.
My last name is Scottish.

This same thing is why I fell for those bogus "ear candles" all throughout high school.
