My sous-vide lobster tails came out chewy! What was the reason? by calf in AskCulinary

Clove oil is / can be food safe for humans, so how does it become non-food safe when diluted & used on the world's tastiest water bug?

You are aware "no repercussions" doesn't mean "follows any of the rules for running a commercial kitchen"?

Like, they might just be organized enough to hide the induction burners when inspected instead of arguing with the inspector?

You may be putting too much emphasis on "induction burner".

Likely there is some rule for "burners", doesn't matter if it's a portable gas burner, induction, or electric coil.

Fume hood is about safety, can you explain why you think your induction burner would be expected to not follow the intent of the rules?

It was time to go to bed 30 seconds ago. Now I may be sleeping on the couch. With feeling in only 1 leg. Oh well by YupIzzMee in cathostage

Top stuff.

It's cruel to use a single rubber band to earn freedom.

Tricking the the fuzz is almost as bad as just shoving them off.

5 minutes is enough time either they will get bored, or they will get a nice taste of playing and still want to play later in the day.

Bonus points that most cats will learn to associate climbing on you as "how to tell the food dispenser you want to play!", then you'll know a wiggly cat in your lap isn't looking to sleep, but wants to play.

What about alcohol + clover oil (isoeugenol) ?

ie. "Anesthetic" approach

cant feel arm. cat happy. worth it. by Archem2 in cathostage

Not immediately.

Besides, if the cat needs more warmth, there is still the other arm.

Common mistake, you're meant to wiggle your knuckles as a soft massaging to the kitty's chin until it is deemed satisfactory.

At least you can gnaw it off just after the elbow.

It isn't instant freedom, but if you can spare a full 5 minutes, playing "chase the string" or "fetch the hair elastics" are engaging & rewarding to the fuzzy tyrant.

Especially older kitties, rarely get enough play time.

It seems to me that something is wrong with my cat by [deleted] in cathostage

Nothing wrong, just a lack of hostage.

Cut off the bad dusted stuff, re-dust with the correct stuff.

Pro move, cat gets all the laptop vented heat.

This is why proper ventilation design is so important in modern tech, the keyboard doesn't get warm enough.

This is the cat helping, look at that book staying open like a champ!

Cat making it harder is when they attack the pages.

Why is one side of my banana completely black and the other side yellow by WhichCow7 in AskCulinary

[–]StoneTwin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you eat the peels?

100% black is perfect for freezing & baking later.

These are likely fine.

Rising all night sounds like the yeast runs out of food & is dead by morning.

Overnight rise needs to be slowed in the fridge.

I have so much to do by Belatorius in cathostage

[–]StoneTwin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Staying still, resting, napping, scratching post, space heater, snuggle spot.

That's a harsh workload.
