Another way to remove oxygen from stored food to prevent rancidity is to make your own oxygen absorbers (rancidity is caused by oxygen oxidizing fats and other flavor compounds)

Which are literally just iron filings mixed with table salt in a gas permeable packet (coffee filter paper works great)

The salt is hygroscopic (absorbs water) and water + oxygen + iron turns into rust, which sequesters the oxygen

I make my own and put them in opened packages of nuts and seeds :]

it's actually "hare lip," derogatory term for people with cleft palate, as their mouths were compared to the split lip of rabbits

Does anyone actually buy the higher tiers of fuel at the gas pump? If so, why? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

As an update I have since started using standard gas as the manual recommends and think the performance might actually be better now

I use it in my 50cc motor scooter since it's got a barely 1 gallon tank that lasts me ~2 weeks a fill, so the price difference is negligible

I figured the higher octane would make a noticeable difference since it's such a small engine

But reading this thread I'm now thinking maybe I shouldn't do this?

How could shirataki rice be made to stick to itself in the style of sushi rice? (self.askculinary)
 

All the times I've tried working with it, it seems to stick to everything EXCEPT itself. Regular seasoned sushi vinegar as well as sushi vinegar-xanthan gum pastes of varying viscosity didn't work. :/

How could SI units be derived from scratch without the use of modern technology? (self.askscience)
 

Think "you wake up in the woods naked," Dr. Stone-style tech reset. How could humans acquire a 1-gram weight, a centimeter ruler, an HH:MM:SS timekeeping device, etc. starting with natural resources?

My best guess was something involving calibrating a mercury thermometer (after spending years developing glassblowing and finding mercury, lol) using boiling water at sea level to mark 100 ° C and then maybe Fahrenheit's dumb ice ammonium chloride brine to mark -17.7778 ° C, then figuring out how far apart they should be in millimeters on the thermometer (er, somehow). I can already think of several confounding variables with that though, most notably atmospheric pressure.

I feel like the most important thing to get would be a length measurement since you can then get a 1 gram mass from a cubic centimeter of distilled water.

That's as far as I got with this thought experiment before deciding to ask the internet. I actually asked on Reddit a while back but never got any responses.

Appraiser has confirmed inset image quality degradation was present from posting date, possibly intentionally. This flaw is actually considered a desirable characteristic by some collectors, though it's far from the usually sought-after levels of deep-fried, nuked, etc.

Bidding starts at 7.5 Barrel Rolls. Trades for Missingno collections also considered.
