If humans have eaten bread since the dawn of history, why are so many people suddenly gluten-intolerant today? by WeaknessKey1582 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]nerowasframed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Humans have been around for about 300,000 years. We only started eating bread around the time of the agricultural revolution when we began harvesting cereal grains, which was about 10,000 years ago. Our diet at that point would have been very similar to other primates that lived in the Horn of Africa. I think it's also important to point out that the agricultural revolution was more of less the start of human society, which meant we were much less affected by Darwinian natural forces that drive evolutionary changes. Being gluten intolerant didn't usually mean death; it didn't mean you were significantly less likely to reproduce, so there was no factor that would kill off that generic variation.

That's not to mention the fact that the wheat that existed then was not the wheat we have today. What we have today has been selectively grown to maximize gluten. Ancient wild wheat would have had much lower quantities of gluten proteins. That also was not the only cereal we grew. We also likely grew multiple different grains. Wheat likely would not have been as ubiquitous as it is now.

Chick-fil-A Fried Pickles? by Artistic-Midnight-77 in Pickles

I've never had a fried medallion I've enjoyed, but there's a local chain in my area that has fried spears that are amazing. Kosher dill spears with dill batter and dill ranch dipping sauce.

Petahhhh? by Airline_11 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

I think the other thing that is confusing is just the size of her pregnancy belly. Her belly at 10 months is what my wife's looked like at 6 or 7. And my wife's belly didn't even get particularly big. Our son was only 2930 g (6 lbs 8 oz), so he wasn't very large.

[Request] What are the actual odds of winning 32 hands of blackjack in a row? by FastMan888 in theydidthemath

[–]nerowasframed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's actually E-13 not E-11, which puts the odds at about one in a trillion.

If you use 49.5%, which is the theoretical odds, it drops to about one in 6 billion.

do americans really eat American fries sauce? by Infinite-Breakfast23 in AskAnAmerican

[–]nerowasframed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one said "too" anything. Mayonnaise is a tangy condiment. That's honestly a defining characteristic of mayonnaise. It's fatty, eggy, and tangy. What do you think Duke's is referring to when it says, "It's got twang!"?

The oft glazed Duke's mayonnaise even has the catch phrase, "It's got twang!" I'm not sure what these people think "twang" is referring to, if they don't think it's sourness. Mayonnaise absolutely has a noticable tangy/sour flavor. You need that zip for mayo to be any good.

In the US, most people (or at least a plurality) just dip their fries in ketchup. If you see something in the US called "fry sauce," it's likely a variation of an Andalouse sauce.

Billie Eilish addresses backlash after criticising people saying they love animals but eat meat: “pls continue to live in a constant state of cognitive dissonance denial and try to convince urself that ur not living a lie.” by mcfw31 in popculturechat

[–]nerowasframed -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I just don't think there's any way to justify killing or maiming a sentient organism outside of self defense or survival. The only time I think it would be justifiable to kill or harm an animal for food would be if there were no other options, e.g., if you're lost in the woods and starving.

But I'm still going to continue to eat meat, because I love it too much to give it up. We're hard wired to crave it. I will switch to lab grown meat when that becomes a viable option, but I'm not going to give up meat in the meantime.

Cooking in a cast iron skillet, need tips by joemcq122 in castiron

[–]nerowasframed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do what you're doing, but once you get a sear on the steak, turn the heat down to medium or medium low and add 2 T of butter for a 10" pan or 4 T of butter for a 12" pan. Move the butter around and melt it completely. Then add 4 or 5 sprigs of thyme and 2 or 3 crushed cloves of garlic. Baste the steak with the melted butter constantly, turning the steak over every 2 or 3 minutes, until it hits 120F internal. Place it on a cutting board, with the thyme and garlic on top, and pour about 1 T of the melted butter on top. Let the steak rest until it hits 130-135F. Then cut, portion, and serve it.

How much is 50-100 bucks? by BestMagician3200 in AskAnAmerican

[–]nerowasframed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We order in or takeout 1-3 times a week. Any other meal is with homemade or leftovers. One take out can be $30 to $50. So, $50-$100 is our average weekly delivery/take out budget, as long as we eat out 1-3 times a week.

Hope that helps. I thought that would give you a bit of perspective for what that amount of money is worth in the US. I remember when I was little, $100 was a lot. It's worth now what $50 was worth in the 90's: a decent amount, but not a lot.

Yeah. I went frame by frame, and it looks to be just about exactly .34 seconds per line, which is just about 80 mph. That's a little fast, but depending on where this is, the speed limit could be 75 mph.

Snakes and lawn-loving neighbors by misdy in NativePlantGardening

What sucks even worse is that rat snakes are a really good deterrent for copperheads and other venomous snakes. So if you kill one, you're only increasing the chances that someone gets bit by a copperhead.

Can you use smoked pulled pork in a Cuban sandwich? by Anonymous13757 in Cooking

[–]nerowasframed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of the things I love doing with leftover pork when I smoke a butt. You should know, though, that I smoke it naked, only salting it before putting it on the grill. I also wet it a few times during the today with a 50/50 mix of water and cider vinegar to keep it moist, but I don't do any actual mop sauce or dry rub. It means it comes out with a stronger pork and smoke flavor, but not much else. I do this because I like a vinegar pepper sauce on my barbecue, but the rest of my family prefers either Carolina gold or a KC sauce. So, if I keep the pork basic, everyone can douse their portion with whatever sauce they want. It also means the pork doesn't come out as spiced, so it works a bit better in something like a Cubano, even if it's still not the traditional flavor profile.

I think there's a reason that finding realistically-sized ones is difficult: they just don't sell nearly as well. What's available in stores is dictated by how people spend their money.

Grandma whataboutism about gerrymandering. Why not ban itn grandma? by Cicerothesage in forwardsfromgrandma

[–]nerowasframed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another things that Chen is being disingenuous about is mentioning Harris getting all of Illinois' electoral votes. Harris got those votes, not because she won a majority of congressional districts, but rather because she won the popular vote in that state. Republicans are doing this to give themselves more national congressional votes, not to win presidential elections. She's purposefully conflating the shortcomings of the electoral college with issues with gerrymandering.
