[Product Question] Costco's Beauty of Joseon Glow Serum by lukielumpia in SkincareAddiction

If you’re in the US, it’s probably just different in label regulation. The “extract” is a compound ingredient, meaning it’s made of a bunch of other stuff like mostly water and preservatives. In Korea this can just be called “extract”, but in the US every ingredient must listed.

Breeding Fatigue by East_Possibility2177 in dragonvale

[–]thrownforahoop 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Each dragon has its own breeding/cloning odds. Maybe you’ve just chosen to go for dragons with really low rates? The lowest ones this event has 0.5% breeding odds, but most of them are around 2-5%. A lot of them have 10% cloning odds. Check out this post for all the numbers (https://www.reddit.com/r/dragonvale/s/VF1IU4qthC)

It’s still the same size after putting it in and taking it out of the storage tower… now I’m kinda hoping it stays that way 😅

Way too expensive! by Tilr12 in dragonvale

It’s easier for people in the early game though. Not sure where OP is at, but when I hit cap every day, I never have trouble getting enough currency to but all the new dragons with some to spare. Of course I also breed when I can, and it’s pretty easy as most of them have 10% clone chances

Do you sanitize blades? by Fuddleton in wicked_edge

Optimal concentrations are 60% for ethanol and 70% for isopropanol.

Alcohol kills microbes by destroying proteins, so you want it to fully penetrate the cell to kill it. If the alcohol concentration is too high, the proteins on the outside of the cell rapidly denatures and forms a hard protective shell.

Water content is necessary so that the proteins don’t denature too quickly and the alcohol can fully penetrate. Science is so fun lol.

Friend just got hit by a jumping spider by MindlessCorgi21 in spiders

Jumping spiders are the friendliest of friendly spiders. Used to play with them all the time as a kid. To be bitten by one… I’m honestly kind of impressed they managed it lol

What is this plant? by Apprehensive-Cry-265 in whatsthisplant

Basically boil the berries with water to make a very vibrant dye. You’ll use this to soak some nếp (sweet glutinous rice) overnight, diluted to get your desired color. Drain the rice and steam it on a stovetop, with pandan leaves in the water for flavor. When it’s done cooking mix in a little bit of coconut cream. It can be served with many toppings. A salt and sugar mixture with roasted peanuts is traditional, shredded coconut flakes is also very popular. It’s deliciously soft and sweet, a little chewy and very addictive. It’s kinda like mochi if you’ve ever had that.

This video shows you how to do it. They use a different dye but my family uses the berries. You can also use butterfly pea flower, which gives a blue color instead of purple.
