Por que no los dos?

Ah yes, the conservative/republican way of thinking: I'd fraud and con you. I have no ethics and will exploit you. So surely everyone else will try to do the same.
There's already milk in the ingredients so adding some must be acceptable.
But since we mention Doritos, it's one of the things that I noticed how fast it got expensive. They nearly doubled in price since the pandemic.
Like, where I live a bag was around $3.49 a few years ago and now they charge $5.49, for a single bag! I was buying a bag once in a while but since it crossed the $5 mark, I leave them on the shelves.
Huh. I don't know about the financial system but I'm guessing a good chunk of it is ran by some old mainframes.
It's like the retail industry, still massively relying on IBM i/iSeries/AS400. I worked for a consulting company that was doing a little bit of admin and support work for companies still using this system and the list is still very long. At least it still receives updates, and it's kind of fun/odd to work with if you like CLI, but it's super expensive and absolutely proprietary.
How many times has he "completely lost it" recently? He's always been insane. Insanely stupid in fact. Nothing new here.
Yet, when we read the headlines, every few days or weeks, he "completely loses it".
If he were throwing grass in the air, eat dirt, or speak in tongues, maybe it would be worth the completely lost it title. Otherwise, it gets old after a few times.
It's a good question but I just read this on Wiktionary and Wikipedia and it's obviously difficult to be certain.
Both Wiktionary entries in English or French are saying the etymology is from papillon. Then the Wikipedia article for the papillote candy says that the word papillote in cooking is from this, but there's no citation. And the origin of the word for the candy is also discussed there as being unsure.
However, the French Wiktionary page on papillotte mentions that it's the feminized form of papillot, which describes a small butterfly using the diminutive "ot". This is grammatically cromulent. Like chien for dog, then chiot for puppy, or île and îlot.
The papillotes for cooking are not arranged in a butterfly form, but it's easy to see how it could come from wrapping food like this . So by extension it can also be used to wrap anything using a type of paper, like hair.
As a native speaker, I tend to agree with the proposed etymology, as it kind of makes sense. There's other words based on papillon so it makes it more likely. Like the verb papilloter to describe fluttering. Or bow ties, that are called nœuds papillon (butterfly knot), also because they look like butterflies.
Still, sometimes the simple deductions are also the ones that are wrong. It could also come from papier, because papillotes can be made of paper. However the spelling is not helping because if it came from papier, it would be spelled papiotte. It could just be a coincidence than ends up working both ways.
You probably could, as papillote is something cooked wrapped in aluminium or parchment paper. The name comes from a candy that was wrapped in shiny paper and looked like a butterfly. So by extension now it's also for any food that's cooked wrapped in something. You can have a vegetable papillote, a salmon papillote, or a veal papillote.
In French moths and butterflies are called papillons. There is sometimes a distinction between butterflies and "night butterflies" (moths) but in the end, they are all papillons.
Or they are hypocrites because a lot of them join to escape poverty. It's easy for the military, the marines and all those recruit poor people. Sometimes they don't really have much choice anyway.
They are "invasive" even where they are native. I go camping in national parks in the south of Québec and those cute little things are annoying as hell. They steal and chew anything you leave unsupervised at your camp site. They come scratch and sniff your tent multiple times a night.
Les osti de ratons!
It's interesting to see how this strategy changes depending on the species.
Some birds will fake being injured to lure predators away from their chicks, and others will attack anything coming too close.
I decided not to buy another Xiaomi phone when the one I previously had would turn off when it was a bit mildly cool outside.
Like, I would take it out of my pocket to look at bus schedules but it would turn off after a few seconds of being exposed to 5°C, saying the battery was dead. Another time I had it attached to my bike handlebar and it kept turning off because apparently 13°C with the wind was also too chilly. Every time that fucking Xiaomi phone was feeling a bit chill, the battery would just die. And not even in freezing temps!
I looked online and everone of the fanboys on the forums kept saying that this is normal, battery performance degrades in winter, that iPhones do the same, and apparently all other phones do the same. In short, I had unreasonable expectations.
Yet, all my other phones' batteries didn't die within seconds of taking them out of my pocket, even in winter.
So, I don't have to bother with their names anymore.
