Print me something

With kids, it’s more like 20 seconds or 4 minutes, still as risky

That’s a way to say I’ve got PhD without saying I’ve got PhD.

Where I live now, having more that one lane is a luxury few places could afford. I still slow down and move towards shoulder if I see The Secret Hints (those funny blinky yellow lights that do not seem to work in many, many cars).

Hah, when I lived in the US, I was 100% certain that if a road has limit, I can always, in worst imaginable conditions, just nail it and go with limit (I lived down south, ok, in Texas, but traveled all the thing).

Now in Europe this is absolutely not the case. I don’t mean Autobahns even, just regular roads in Finland are, well, just slow down if not sure, ok?

yes, it’s about 5km/h lower than what panel says, I use GPS to fuel my ego! This bike is not made for speed.

I can drive fast and pull 4wd cars from snow with this car (I pulled dudes on RAMs from Grand Canyon snowy roads with 2010 Corolla), I just don’t want to.

Yeah, that’s me on Prius, driving deliberately not above speed limit to laugh at your funny face when you pass and then not shine my high lights at you feeling moral superiority.

DIY

There is nothing subjective here, it’s knowledge of biochemistry and manufacturers use of good practices. Of cousre, this is impossible on large scale production, yet you could be sure that your local milk providers milk will just become something else upon curdling, and your local butchery vacuum sealed bags are as clean from pathogens as their line and are good far beyond expiration date, but will change. And that things were stored correctly and are not blooming with thermophiles inside. I do not mean nutritional content, I only address industrial labeling and its purpose. And things that could not possibly be regulated, and have to rely on community (in many forms, from “lets love each other” to “I will break your face if you burn me, pal”). Eating expired stuff is an act of trust, whether it is trust to chance and supernatural, or trust of community that builds cultural value, is a whole different question.

Then you can always inoculate food yourself before expiration, but then it counts as cooking I guess.

There is no “expired”, only “improperly fermented”. Sure, it could be very bad, but then you should’ve paid attention to it in advance, respect the nutrient and all living things who brought it about.

Cheap difraction gratings though, indispensable

Probably by rice, or koji. Or yeast!
