Did you know that Southern Grove brand peanuts "contain tree nuts[?]" I've always heard that it's normal for nut producers to use common machinery to package nuts, which leads to cross-contamination, but the more I learn about the chain of supply, the less this makes sense to me. for example, cashews take incredible amounts of on-site (with respect to the plantations) labour to process and prepare the nuts for consumption (this is an extreme example considering the dangers of raw cashews, but it illustrates the point well). Why not just bottle them on-site as well? With efficient container design, the additional shipping costs per unit of product could be outweighed by the prospect of removing the "may contain traces of other nuts" from the label!

When I sit in bed, I always have a jar of de-shelled peanuts to eat. I've noticed that the skins of the seed itself has a very astringent quality to it. I wonder why? I know some nuts have tannins or pectins which may cause that dry texture, but I don't know if peanuts carry those substances...

Around the geographic periphery of the Chinese empire, later the Republic of China, and now the People's Republic of China, as well as in some of the less accessible parts of China's interior, and sometimes even in its cities, live a variety of peoples of different origins, languages, ecological adaptations, and cultures.! These peripheral peoples or, as they are now customarily tagged, "minorities," have been subjected over the last few centuries to a series of attempts by dominant powers to transform them, to make them more like the transformers or, in the parlance of the transformers themselves, to "civilize" them. There have been at least four such civilizing projects in recent history, carried out by the three successive Chinese governments and by Western missionaries who operated in China between the Treaty of Nanjing in 1842 and the establishment of the People's Republic in 1949. - Stevan Harrel

    My job yesterday was to work in a workplace where people from overseas work.
    They don't seem to be very good at Jpn-lang.
    But they all seem to trust each other, Enough to give me a confidence to do my best.

    God, I wish that was Me --- I wish I was born in the U.S. a multi-racial country.

    You see, there was a very important reason why I commissioned bimshwel to draw me wearing a stupid yellow hat.

    I only have one fish left to catch in Cruelty Squad before I have encountered and caught every possible fish in the game.

    Welp, the worst is over.

    I officially quit my 2 jobs and I’m now temporarily unemployed for a good week until the 16th. :v

    Finally a decent vacation where I can kick back and work on my music!
