  • Somewhat safer. Step one of making cheese is usually heating up the milk, so that can kill things on its own, then you are going to mix in an acid to get it to curdle probably lemon juice or something. Salt is often added as well. Once you’ve separated the curds and the whey, you end up having to age the cheese, and there are requirements for aging to ensure the possible bad bacteria sits with the salt for a while, say a couple months. It limits or gets rid of most of the possibility of things like salmonella growing in it. Soft cheeses I hear are more at risk than hard cheeses when it comes to raw milk. (More air I assume, less compact to the salt)




  • I remember when I went from middle school to highschool the girl I was fond of at the time was zoned to go to a different school than I and we were sad about it. There was a bus stop for my school that stopped on the other side of the street from her house, so like 50 feet from her front door. Instead she had to walk 3 streets over to get to a bus that took her to another school. Zoning and buses were always a pain. The only way she could have gotten into our school was by saying she wanted to go for the magnet program… but the magnet program for our school was fucking radio broadcasting… So not a feasible excuse for her to use.







  • For many that is probably true. For others who are hopeless romantics, we run 40 hour a week jobs from 16-18 while balancing a girl friend, trying to run through courses and turn out decent grades and a social life going into college while averaging 4 hours sleep a night. It’s fun at the time, but I really wish I would have learned more about taking time for myself and planning out next steps for myself as opposed to just thrusting into as many syllabus hours, while balancing it all going into college. I didn’t do bad at the University I went to, but really if I learned to step back and not be facing every challenge at the last minute all the time I think it would have prepped me for planning more of what to do with my time when I’m out of college.

    Like get a Job, sure that’s a requirement… But that isn’t a career to me. A career is planned things you strive for and goals set by yourself to make sure you want to land yourself.

    When the courses are done, the hours worked, the goals met. I never learned how to properly make my own goals, just how to follow boring structural requirements… Because you’re told you have too. And if you don’t come from money, you can’t exactly just get a loan to start a company or buy a house because you have a degree… You are 10’s of thousands in student loan debt. So you enter a dead end job otherwise you can’t pay the rent, and maintain a relationship, help your family, or whatever other obligations you feel you have.



  • It’s always the nearest chair for me if I can’t reach, but to be honest the only one I couldn’t reach I didn’t put back up. It was on the wall separating the kitchen, so I kind of just set it on a table at the end of the wall, it not being on the wall at height is probably a negative, but I figured if it is closer to where the smoke has to wrap around the wall, it balances out.

    I’ve tested it by making smash burgers… Still sets the damn thing off every time.

    Also make me stop making smash burgers, because I was tired of moving the smoke detector outside, which my spouse seems to think is not the proper way to deal with to much smoke in the kitchen
