Tell this to fucking New Zealand.

Thank you for the excellent explanation. It’s such a shame that some people are apparently categorically incapable of explaining themselves, and feel the need to gatekeep instead to feel superior.

This interpretation makes it clear that their comment was a complete non-sequitur, since it is NOT a liquid, and thus is not a “liquid ingredient in cookies” that might be measured in “shots”.

Thank you. This excellent explanation also shows that SpaceNoodle’s reply has absolutely NOTHING to do with what the original commenter was talking about above (measuring cookie ingredients in “shots”), so who knows what SpaceNoodle’s smoking, but I think I’m good without whatever liquid they’re using instead of sugar in their cookie recipes.

I do love me some supercritical sourdough bread

No, Dr. “Rather than explaining a patently ridiculous statement, I’m going to make a second vague statement in an effort to make other people feel stupid for kicks”, I’m not a professional baker. I’m a chemistry teacher.

So, since “I can see you’re not a chemist” (see how pretentiously shitty that sounds?) and you are apparently just about as good at following recipes as the numbskulls here, let me teach you something: while you may be in your baker’s la-la-land with your hard-won recipes and art, if you used simple syrup (or as you call it “liquid sugar”, Chef Cordon-Bleu-At-Home) in ANY of the recipes here (or virtually any online mass-consumption recipe, I have yet to find even one that calls for it) instead of actual sugar, your shitty cookies would be more runny than Yoda’s diarrhea in the swamps of Dagobah.

Now, either let’s see a common recipe made for lay-people that calls for simple syrup in cookies, or kindly fuck off with your sanctimonious gatekeeping pretense.

The fuck kind of sugar are you using?

Great and I already wipe down some things. Genuine question, however, because maybe it will actually lead to a productive insight that can help me when cooking: How do you do as-you-go cleaning with the following things:

• Things that have touched raw meat
• Things with a bunch of fat
• Things that have caramelized sugar or starchy remnants stuck on them

Because, in each of these cases, all of which are common, I have to wash them with hot water and soap, and they require using something to wash them. These tools, such as sponges, pads and brushes, are universally filled with dishwater and germs that I don’t want in my food, and the process sends that dishwater spewing up like toilet spume. These are also time-consuming, and their washing is incompatible with most of the dishes I make, which require near-constant attention.

And I suppose you have personal knowledge that they never cook, since they are constantly pulling your shitty food off the grocery shelves?

There is a reason why the cooks and bussers are different people. Not everyone wants to get dishwater in their food from whatever tool they use to clean, nor do I have time while things are cooking and requiring near-constant attention to properly wash my hands 10 times as i go back and forth while cooking a single meal.

I try.

Done

Thanks for your input, Chef Boyardee. I always make sure to put great store in ad-hominems from fictionalized canned MRE mascots. Take your shitty ravioli high horse and go ride off into the sunset with the Sunkist tuna.

Edit: “fictional” to “fictionalized”

Absolutely, and it is stated in FMA that that activation energy is theoretically derived from tectonic potential energy, somehow (although, of course, that turned out to be a convenient lie, in-canon)

Also diffusion.

Though that wouldn’t help for many biological organisms, such as arthropods, where it’s about Surface Area vs. Volume in diffusion. The oxygen diffusion rate gets too low without higher O2 concentrations

If we’re talking fullmetal alchemist rules, it’s pretty clear that transmutation doesn’t change the atomic make-up of a thing. Just the chemical bonds and intermolecular forces, combined with moving the bits around following a formula. However, you could turn fat into a hydrogen-propelled diamond bullet.

That person is actively stabbing at the harness with a rusty pair of shears while accusing you of sabotaging the jump. Sometimes they end up stabbing themselves, but usually they just end up stabbing you through the harness instead.

we have had the fifth amendment.

FTFY. Laws are only worth the paper they’re written on and the willingness of the executive to actually execute them. Here in the US, the latter is now missing, and the former isn’t for sale (yet, give them time to put it on the Russian black market)

It’s only paranoia if it’s unwarranted.

I recall a story, can’t remember where I read it, where a creator deity demonstrates their displeasure with the leader’s treatment of a downtrodden minority by sending a large number of “plagues”. I remember there was a plague of flies, all the livestock started dying of sudden disease, and an epidemic of boils broke out… Hmm… If only the US were filled with people who believed in the literal interpretation of certain old books…

ETA: of course, that would require these people to be able to read.
