Flour is considered a raw ingredient. That is, it needs to be cooked completely to kill bacteria, you're supposed to wash your hands and surfaces after working with it, etc.

if you don't wash your hands and surfaces after working with flour, you've got worse problems than eating spoonfuls of it.

It was like last year but i was still really old when i learned that a very significant reason pre-modern agricultural ppl had such destroyed teeth was that the milling skills of their societies sucked and they had rocks and shit in their food.Off topic— also vermin.

I’d like to revoke my medieval shaming and just amend to “milling is hard.”

I was much less shockingly old when I learned it but I just remembered this trivia today and maybe some of you other oldsters will be shocked when you learn it:
(Tony) Burrows sang the lead vocals on several other one-hit wonder songs under different group names, Edison Lighthouse's "Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)" (February 1970); White Plains' "My Baby Loves Lovin'" (March 1970); The Pipkins' novelty song "Gimme Dat Ding" (April 1970); and The First Class' "Beach Baby" (July 1974). He also sang lead vocals on The Brotherhood of Man's "United We Stand", which reached #10 on the UK charts and also reached #13 in the U.S.

You can live without hearing more than four seconds of "Gimme Dat Ding" and "United We Stand" but the others are good bubblegum.

Not sure what the story was with this, but there's a real chance that people would show up there regardless of their financial situation because there are widespread water outages and grocery stores may be either closed or stripped bare.

That water boils at lower temperatures at higher altitudes. Was just looking at a green egg salad recipe and it recommended that you set your egg timer for 5 and a 1/2 mins and adjust it higher if you live at higher altitude. That instruction is probably a bit of overkill but interesting nevertheless!

I live on the top floor, so this info could come in useful.

I live 130m about sea level so it's quite safe to take a bath in boiling oil at this altitude.
― calzino, Sunday, 21 February 2021 18:57 (three years ago) link
Having lived in Colorado this is common knowledge there. Pretty common in baking recipes to have high altitude adjustments listed.

Like i remember this because i am coloradan and i am not high all the time, but mainly some movie with livingstone , the zambezi, and i presume stanley, too. someone was always boiling water to determine the altitude. I was a kid and i was just “huh, boiling point’s a thing.”also I just visited wiki on livingstone and— holy shit that guy

Well, it's rather difficult to define. Perhaps I'm just projecting my own concern about it. I know I've never completely freed myself of the suspicion that there are some extremely odd things about this question
