> Switzerland strangely enough has somewhat of a liberal reputation

Are you sure you are not mixing them up with Sweden? For example the last Swiss canton to give women the right to vote did so in 1991. And same sex marriage in Switzerland was made legal in July this year.

What are hydrophilic break systems? Do you mean hydraulic breaks?

> I miss being 10 and watching LoTR for the first time

People thought the Peter Jackson LoTR movies bastardized Tolkein's IP too you know, in particular Christopher Tolkien was not a fan.

Luddites were hanged, I hope you are not suggesting we hang illustration artists.

Did you read the second book? Voldemort's diary plays a huge part in that one, so it's not surprising that the characters would find Voldemort's text book interesting or ominous (possible horcrux too).

Cacao beans are 54% fat, I don't think you'll get a powder if you just grind them, you'd get some sort of mush.

In my country there isn't even a thing called cocoa, it's all cacao with a k, kakao. Kakao beans, kakao powder etc. There is something called cocholate powder which is kakao powder mixed with milk powder and sugar, but I don't think that's what you are talking about.

I might buy some raw kakao/cacao beans to see what happens if I crush them.

The article you linked talks about cacao being the raw bean and cocoa being the processed powder. It also says you can get cacao from chocolate bars. I don't think there is a difference between cocoa powder and cacao powder.

> “Think of cacao, cocoa and chocolate like a pipeline,” says Fazio. “Cacao [fruit] grows from a tree and is raw and unprocessed. It’s the precursor to cocoa, and cocoa is the precursor to chocolate.”

> “The taste of cacao is earthy and bitter, and it has a grittier mouthfeel than chocolate,” says Fazio. “Cocoa powder tastes more like chocolate than cacao, but it doesn’t have a creamy mouthfeel either because most of the cocoa butter has been removed.”

> Some experts use “cacao” for the pods, beans and ground-up contents of the beans, reserving “cocoa” for the powder left after pressing the fat out of the ground beans (1Trusted Source).

Just milk and cacao powder is good too, though both milk and coconut cream contains some sugar.

What's the difference between cacao powder and cocoa powder? Aren't they the same thing?

> You still have to wait in line to hand your luggage to someone so they can check if it obeys the checked requirements.

Wow, where I'm from you can check it yourself, and we still use paper tags. There's minimal queues, usually none, at the automatic check in so you save lots of time.

It's not surprising that food prices rise when gasoline and natural gas prices rise. You need the gas for transporting and producing food, and you need natural gas for manufacturing fertilizer.

foone has ADHD, and can't complete a blog post because of that. Asking them why they don't just write a blog is like asking a blind person why they don't just read normal text instead of braille, they literally can't.

Girls education is not about sex-ed, it's so they can get a job and have opportunities other than being a mom.

True! I eat them, but for some reason my grandmother refused to, so they gave them to the rabbits instead.

My father also grew up poor with rabbits. They would feed the rabbits things they would otherwise throw away, like carrot leaves and potato peels. Then they would eat the rabbits. Great way to turn inedible plants into edible protein.

I wonder if it's got anything to do with the 34 billion tons of CO2 we released into the atmosphere.

You should read up on heat pumps, they are several times more efficient than electrical resistance heaters.

How does loading ammunition make humans die quicker from radiation?

Sheriff? I think you mean serif, partner.

Would you then get those 5-10 years of extra tax refunded if you have kids at a later point? Or are you only going to endorse extra tax on sterile people?

> I don’t sleep much because of it.

Insomnia and sleep deprivation are associated with increased risk of sleep paralysis...

If you make 100K a year in Canada you pay $29,986 in taxes of which about a third goes to healthcare, so $10000 annually and you still won't get tested preventatively.

What is the title of the film? Your netflix link 404's in my country.

> social structures in plants. Particularly fungi.

FYI, fungi aren't plants, they are part of their own eukaryotic kingdom, and are more closely related to animals than plants.

We also usually only eat the fruit of the fungi, which we call mushrooms. The main part of the fungi lives under ground and is called the mycelium.

> You meet elk in the woods here in Norway occasionally.

Those are moose not elk, the Norwegian word elg translates to moose in english. Elk is a species of large North-American deer (hjort). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elk

I don't have any issues putting dirty dishes in my dishwasher. Do you use pre-wash detergent in your machine? I highly recommend you watch this video by Technology connections[1], I too used to think I had to rinse my dishes before putting them in the machine.

I tired 1000 millicalories, but doesn't look like Google understands that either.

Yes, it's sold under the brand name Desoxyn.

I understood it the same way, the mean data for the past x years was however more difficult to find, and they seem to do a mean per month or year so not fined grained enough for 1 week.

> everywhere is relatively cooler

It's warmer than the same date last year where I am.

Comparing with the maximum temperatures of last year.

- January 13th 2022, the day of the explosion was 6.4 C warmer

- January 14th 11.6 C warmer

- January 15th 6.7 C warmer

- January 16th 9.1 C warmer

- January 17th 1.4 C warmer

- January 18th 2.2 C warmer

The difference is even more extreme if I compare the minimum temperatures.

There has been more rain, but that is to be expected when the weather is warmer (in my region).
