    Just put a multiple hours long analysis video on a topic you are only mildly interested in playing, works every time.

    There have been multiple times i have fallen asleep to a 3 hour long video on wall mechanics of Mario 64, i have never really played Mario games. likely watched the video like 5-10 times but never finished it.

    depends on what is the thing you are trying to get off the glass. you’d have to use plenty of water afterwards anyway to get rid of all the sugar so it would need to be something that really needs the citric acid and would not get cleaned with just water








  • Caramelization is the process of sugars browning due to high heat. The actual reactions that are happening is a combination of sugars and their chains breaking down into smaller compounds and those smaller compounds recombining into other compounds, all these new compounds gives caramelized foods their distinctive colour and taste.

    When making caramel the sugar liquification happens often in high enough temperatures for caramelization to occur. The process of sauteeing/high temperature cooking onions long enough involves the same exact reactions. In onions the bit longer chain sugars that dont taste sweet are broken down into simple sugars thus producing the sweet taste of caramelized onions and the further reactions produce the caramel colour and taste.

    Tldr: caramelization is a group of chemical reactions and ‘caramel’ is basically a taste and colour that results from it








  • Finland also has a disproportionate amount of highly successful games compared to the population. I guess one theory is that good social safety nets make it more feasible for people to take a risk starting an indie game studio that might not yield any money for years instead of working for a big corporation for a guaranteed paycheck.
