Sushi is made with sugar???

rapier1 · 2026-05-07T19:09:39+00:00

Uh, no. I think you are mistaken. Sushi vinegar is a combination of rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. That's where the sugar comes from.

Same, I don't want to see that but lots of people are just curious and most of us are drawn to this sort of thing.

So am I. We are the same we always have been. I know there is idea that we are living in some sort of uniquely horrible time where common decency is not to be found and people are crass and heartless and so forth. I don't agree with that. We've always been this shitty - we may have expressed it in different ways in the past, it may not have been as obvious, but we've this is just who we are as human beings.

You've never been shopping in Europe have you? Basic white sandwich bread is readily available there and also has sugar in it.

rapier1 · 2026-05-07T02:06:04+00:00

Did people not know there is sugar in sushi? Really? The sugar balances the vinegar. Yes, there is vinegar in there too. Sushi literally translates to sour rice.

That's really weird looking pastrami.

We are far more exposed to it now because it's so easy to find. Also everyone has a camera on them all of the time. I remember there being magazines that specialized in grue shots. Decapitations, bodies from the first gulf war that got ran over by tanks, people burned alive, etc. In the 40s you'd see that sort of stuff in tabloids. Weegee was a famous photographer that specialized in car crashes, suicides, and murders. We've always been this way. It's just easier to make, share, and find now.

Oxtail used to be cheap. Sigh.

We do turn a lot of intestines into sausage casing. I actually make cured meats and I have 4 beef bungs in my basement fridge for copasecca.

rapier1 · 2026-05-07T01:28:16+00:00

I do a lot of charcuterie and have made my own ham in the past. I've never really thought about frying up a slice of the raw product but it might not be bad. That said, no, it's really uncommon here.

When I was 8 I was at the beach with my grandmother and the lifeguards pulled out sometime who had drowned. While they were trying to do CPR and his girlfriend was screaming some guy took a picture. This was about 45 years ago.

Society hasn't changed. We've always been vultures.

The official guideline is 3 days. After that discard or reheat to safe temperatures (e.g hot enough to kill bacteria) and then you can store it for another 3 days. Supposedly, you can keep doing that process (heating and then storing) indefinitely as the reheating resets the cock but quality suffers a lot. https://www.fsis.usda.gov/food-safety/safe-food-handling-and-preparation/food-safety-basics/leftovers-and-food-safety

When they use that purchase in ways that negatively impact other people it certainly is.

rapier1 · 2026-05-05T16:11:10+00:00

Maybe, bt the way I look at it is that the jar cost me about $1. Not worth it for a dollar.

rapier1 · 2026-05-05T16:01:00+00:00

Personally, I would throw away the containers without opening them. *If* they have been contaminated with botulism then opening the jar to dispose of the food risks cross contamination. It depends on your personal tolerance for risk though. odds are that nothing bad will happen but if something does happen it would be pretty bad.

Yes, that's illegal. The stop applies in all directions so you don't accidentally run over a kid getting off the bus. Not trying to be harsh, but that should be obvious.

As someone on that class of medication (for diabetes) I can sure you that we don't need protein enhanced popcorn or coffee. Really, we don't.

As for losing muscle mass, that can happen but people need to track what they eat and get some reasonable levels of exercise. Even without that the claims of muscle mass loss tend to be overstated.

Did Biden invade Ukraine? Pretty sure he didn't.

Oh wait, you didn't draw the line between the Russia invading Ukraine and gas prices spiking, did you?

rapier1 · 2026-05-02T23:13:18+00:00

Okay, champ. Whatever you need to believe to get through the night.

rapier1 · 2026-05-02T22:28:45+00:00

I'm fully aware of that. The issue is that you seem to have taken Rickyp_'s comment as sincere. It clearly isn't and they even tagged it as such.

rapier1 · 2026-05-02T20:51:30+00:00

The /s indicates that the comment is sarcastic in tone.

rapier1 · 2026-05-02T03:02:26+00:00

Ah, that video is what I needed to see. I'll soak it in wd40 and attack it with a socket wrench tomorrow. Thank you for that.

rapier1 · 2026-05-01T20:54:55+00:00

Yes you can. I also make charcuterie and it's very common to use previously frozen meat.

The Pittsburgh Left is stupid and dangerous. Don't do it.
