I wonder if the difference is that on Reddit, you can’t see who it was that downvoted you.

This recipe is 2:2:3 flour to butter to heavy cream! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a pancakes recipe with this much fat. Was this typical for British cooking at the time?

The recipe has 1.5 cups heavy cream, which will become fluffy when you beat it that long, making the pancakes lighter and fluffier.

Thanks! I can't find evidence that black pepper in particular is that old. I'm not sure what Eden Project is, but I can't find any references on the page you linked. Searching around a bit: [1] claims Myocene (5-20M years ago

Seems like it's 55M years old, so on the younger end of the list. But it might take a bit more digging to confirm that. https://www.fs.fed.us/database/feis/plants/fern/pteaqu/all.h... Please fe

Interestingly, many of the plants on that list are toxic to some degree. Many take repeated boiling, or can only be eaten in small quantities (eg. Ginkgo). I mentioned Sacks in the article — he has a fascinating book on cycad toxicity: htt

It’s two sides of the same thing, I think. Some things are standardized with protocols: IP, TCP, SQL, etc. Other things are standardized with storage formats: FAT, NTFS, etc. NFTs fall into the latter bucket, with some conventions for the f

Not an expert, but Proof-of-stake (what Etherium 2.0 does) solves this, right? Now Bitcoin needs to find a path to implement it. https://blog.ethereum.org/2021/05/18/country-power-no-more/

Interesting.. Could make for a cool Chrome extension, to analyze text on a page and show tooltips about the person that wrote it (I bet you can infer more than just where they're from!)

I’m currently in Ashland, and was planning to drive up to Portland today. With strong snow all along the 5 [1], I’m thinking it’s better to bunker down for a few days before doing the trip. It’s normally a 4.5 hour drive, but with snow chai
