Not a technique but changed my cooking. I tried whole grain pasta for reasons of both health benefits and curiosity. I love it so much I can’t go back. The regular one feels now disappointingly lacking in taste and texture to me. It takes slightly longer to cook, but it’s almost impossible to overcook - it’ just always al dente!

Yes, I agree, of course there can be those kinds of patological skin conditions. Those are extremes though. Most people with oily skin are perfectly alright and are just an example of natural variation in genetics. I don’t want every person with oily skin to think there’s something wrong with them. But they ARE in greater risk of developing a skin condition if they don’t adopt hygiene appropriate for their skin type, so advises not to use soap or shampoo can be very bad for them (and good for the dry type of skin people at the same time).

The amount of oil your skin produces naturally is usually connected to genes and hormone levels. It’s ok to have more oily or drier skin. It’s diversity, everyone is built differently.

It is quite hard to tell what amount of soap is too much - it’s very individual, because types of skin and the levels of their oiliness/dryness differ greatly. Someone with a dry skin can think everyone is using way too much soap, while a super-oily skin person can think other people’s hygiene is somewhat lacking.

There are different kinds of people with diffetent types of skin. Some people get so oily no amount of water and scrubbing can help. The residual oil is then great for cultivating bacteria and yeast, which are ok as natural skin microflora, but if there’s too many of them, they cause medical problems.

Why would you need to separate a kitten from it’s mom? There are so many cats in shelters, usually castrated already, that need a forever home.

The icoms would still have different shapes, right?

I should add that you can have many dysfunctional genes in your DNA without having any health problems if the genes regulate something optional like hair color and not vital like proper muscle production. So you can have lots of dysfunctional genes without having any medical dysfunction.

It’s usually a mutation that doesn’t allow the gene to work properly. An important part of the gene can be deleted or the DNA sequence is changed in some other way. Sometimes a change in just one letter of the code can break the functionality of the gene. When the cell tries to make a protein based on the mutated sequence, it produces a protein that cannot be used for any purpose in the body or it cannot produce the protein at all.

Dysfunction of a gene. Not a dysfunction as in a health problem.

At the same time, east asian people are not known for having more trouble with being overweight. But that’s probably much more complicated.

Yeah, you need to find the fuel cap!

House windows and car windows differ a lot both in shape and in materials used. Should they even be called the same just because they can be looked out of? There might still be a chance that the obviously very specialized car windows do make the car go.

You’re talking about types of machine learning algorithms. Is that a more precise term that should be used here instead of AI? And would the meme work better if it wss used. I’m asking, because I really don’t understand these things.

I wish there was a simple glass full of water emoji. Also a hugging one with a concerned face.

This one’s great!

I’d argue that gambling doesn’t really have good sides and alcohol is ambivalent at best. We could compare it to other media like TV, that’s perdectly ok. But when it comes to restrictions concerning other media, they are not as strict and act mostly like guidelines for parents.

There are good and bad ways to use a phone. It’s not comparable to things like cigarettes.

There are many people with kids who might be greatful for a decent pg13 movie. But this is not it. Also I think you’re right that they didn’t assess the target group correctly.
