Bleach, actually. A small amount of bleach added to spoiled milk makes it taste brand new. The government actually suggested this in a few countries for a while.

Plaster in flour was common enough that after the miller, the middle men, and then the baker all added a cut, there were loaves being sold with less than 20% flour in them. The result was mass malnutrition.

Also, and this is a spicy one but backed by basic economics, regulations are a required element to capitalism. The notion that deregulation is pro capitalism is a misinterpretation of the idea that markets are self regulating. A free market is one that is free of corruption and unfair business practices. Which cannot exist without regulations and the enforcement of those regulations. All our current economic woes are the result of straying away from proven economic theory (mostly deregulation) to the right allowing the corruption of the marketplace and emergence of a strong oligarchy.

I’ve had some great ones, and some terrible ones. The bad ones only lasted for a couple of months. The good ones lasted years. I’ll have to check out the NEBO brand.

So asking it to fuck off is the best we can hope for.

What are you doing?!?

You want to go with slightly condescending, like you are giving the person the benefit of assuming they will recognize their behavior is ridiculous or dumb if you just point it out, and they just didn’t realize yet because they got wrapped up in their mind with the nonsense.

For example: What are you doing? While motioning vaguely at the Huskers.

Actually they sell light bulbs that have big zappers built into them. They work great with can lights. You cycle the light switch to flip between white light, a dim UV but light inside the body of the light, and both. I keep one or two in the kitchen to get rid of fruit flies.

I’m not at that level of need right now. I think I will be satisfied browsing information on the topic for now. But seriously, thank you. That is very kind.

I know this even without the research. I have IBS, and my modd can change on a dime at the same time my gut changes moods. Like, if I get gas, or indigestion, it can be quite sudden. And at the same time my entire demeanor will flip like a switch. Sometimes before I feel it in my gut. Like I can be asking myself why am I so depressed and then the guy bomb will hit and I’m like oh, that’s why.
