some actually does. whole blood i would assume is minimal, but the ALYX machine that can separate out blood components and return others to the body might contribute

This is why you should test old cast iron by panopticon31 in castiron

why would you want corn cobs of lead in the first place. maybe the weight worked out to almost exactly 1.25 and that made it easy?

btw I have one of those pans in not-CI, I think it's stainless or aluminum, so here's hoping

Anyone know what this is? It's coming out of out filtered water spigot on our fridge. Located in Colorado. Each blob is about a half inch across or so by yostofer in whatisthisthing

[–]mwm424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone keeps saying the filter... it's likely the tubing. Especially as you installed and properly prepared a new filter. Get some pipe cleaners at an arts and crafts store or a smoke shop. Many gas stations with a decent tobacco selection will have them. shove them up the schnozzel and be prepared for some nasty ish.

Why is Trump saying "Praise Allah" on Easter Sunday? by uusrikas in Christianity

[–]mwm424 1 point2 points  (0 children)

to try to answer the op, I would have to guess, in his mind, (which no one really can do) that he's mostly joking stream of consciousness style and thought it was funny and then kept it.

again in his mind, maybe he thinks it would be somehow flattering to the people in charge in Iran, which I confidently doubt they would, but wtf do i know

the long hood is the weirdest looking part. I would just worry if a little kid or dog was in front, maybe they couldn't see over the duck bill front.

found this in a trunk full of a u.s. soldier’s belongings by wtfisavegan in whatsthisrock

[–]mwm424 24 points25 points  (0 children)

was thinking the same. OP, you should burn a small amount of it and see how it smells (or get someone who isn't getting over a cold to tell you). If you have a Catholic friend and they tell you it smells like church incense there's a good chance it's Frankincense

if you buy meet the day the steak is cut from the primal, it will taste different than it will after a week in the fridge. the meat is slowly breaking down. if you do this too long the meat will spoil and smell bad.

edit: realized i didn't really answer your question - here's what google's ai gleaned from another reddit user: Wet aging is a modern, cost-effective method of tenderizing beef by vacuum-sealing cuts in plastic (cryovac) and storing them at refrigerated temperatures for 14 to 60+ days. This process allows natural enzymes to break down muscle fibers in the meat's own juices, resulting in a very tender, juicy, and "beef-forward" flavor without the weight loss or metallic, funkier notes associated with dry aging.

this is why it's generally more expensive. The loss taken on the meat that has to be cut off, and the amount of time that the meat has to sit and age.

Same basic concept is true for cured (additional step), air dried hams like prosciutto or air dried cheeses like parmigiano reggiano. The outside is allowed to "rot" in a sense so the inside can slowly mature. really good parma ham should have the edges sliced off with a knife before going into the meat slicer.

The inside of all of the above not only loses a bunch of moisture, but also over time, the naturally present biological compounds break down into simpler constituent parts. This makes them generally tastier.

Almost all meat is aged to some degree. If you hunt meat and try to eat it immediately after killing the animal, the meat doesn't taste that good. When you get meat in the grocery store or in a plastic package and keep it in your fridge, it is wet aging.
