  • The aftertaste is very subtle, one might describe it as tangy. If you are an American and have never had foreign chocolate, you've probably only ever had chocolate with with milk that has undergone lipolysis; and you'd likely never notice it. For the first 5 years of my life I was raised in foster care by naturalized Europeans, so my formative years involved Swiss chocolate whenever I had it. Swiss chocolate uses milk that has not undergone lipolysis, and their chocolate is very smooth due to a process called conching. Conching is a mixing process with lots of heating and aeration which allows organic acids to evaporate creating a very uniform and smooth textured chocolate without bitter or tangy afternotes.

  • I did this too and I was still blocked. I ended up creating an account and was able to view content logged into an account. I really didn't want a reddit account though.

  • The south tends to budget far less for snow removal than norther states. So when a big storm hits, it shuts things down way way longer because it takes them even longer just to clear it. The actual Post article, uses three photos as reference images, and I am sure those were the worst they could find. However, you can see from those images that streets are mostly clear. The sidewalks are a different story, businesses are responsible for clearing the snow from the sidewalks in front of their stores. With respect to parking, parking in NYC has always been ass no matter what. If people still choose to drive in the city in this weather, and they aren't planning accordingly to leave themselves more time to find parking, that's on them. NYC has extensive public transportation, and it isn't super expensive. I usually cycle to work up here in Albany, but with the cold and snow I am taking the bus. The public transit up here in Albany can't hold a candle to what NYC has, and I have no problem making it to work on time or getting shopping done. (I'm 5 miles from work, and 3-10 miles from my preferred grocery stores.)

  • Traditionally, men have been taught that to get married or have a partner, they need to be the breadwinner. This is partly due to women not having the right to own property, have a bank account, or credit cards until the 1960s/1970s. This means that there is a subset of men raised to believe having a job makes them an attractive partner, and that's the only thing they need to be an attractive partner.

    Women on the other hand, have been entering the workforce, and the pay gap has narrowed. Now women make on average $0.85 to every dollar a man makes. Women can be and are financially independent. So now, as a man or potential partner, you have to bring more to the table than having a job.

    I think this has led to the incel crisis. You have a subset of men that are emotionally stunted because they were not taught better; while women have a the peace and security that independence brings and they aren't going to disrupt that for just anyone.

  • Hershey has always had a sort of vomit aftertaste. The presence of butyric acid is the culprit. This compound is created when milk undergoes a process called lipolysis, which breaks down fatty acids to extend the chocolate's shelf life. Butyric acid is also found in human vomit, Parmesan cheese, and rancid butter. This is a direct result of Hershey engineering the chocolate to have a long shelf life. During the early 20th century, when refrigeration wasn’t reliable, the chocolate brand Hershey’s adopted a milk-stabilization process involving controlled lipolysis. The method kept milk usable for large-scale chocolate production as it traveled across country, but it also created butyric acid as a by-product. Butyric acid is perfectly safe to consume.

  • And MLK was assassinated, and Malcom X were assassinated. There is suspicion that the US government knew there were credible threats against Malcom X and did nothing. FBI Actively harassed MLK.

  • Former NYC resident here. Growing up, NYC rarely got snow like the storm we just had the last week of January. Like maybe it happens Once every 2-5 years. On top of that, the city tends to warm up quickly because of the jet stream and being on the coast, so the snow tends to melt faster. (Specific heat of water keeps the temps there above freezing.) It's been freakishly cold in the city, well below the freezing point of water, for an extended period of time, so it's not melting as fast. It just gets pushed around. Also, the mayor took office 1 month ago. Like give the guy a break.

  • I can't really speak for NYC, because I don't live there anymore. I'm in Albany, NY, 150 mi north, and it's been hovering around -15 to -20 centigrade. (Water freezes at 0 centigrade.) A quick weather search shows it's been hovering at/below freezing down there. Snow doesn't melt when it's this cold out. I don't know where the fuck the post thinks the snow is going to go.

  • Hershey's chocolate has a vomit aftertaste. Lindt chocolate is so much better.

  • That compound is capsaicin.

  • Charle's and Boyle's gas laws. PV = nRT. As the temperature rises it creates a sudden increase in the volume and pressure of the immediate air. The increase pressure and volume in a closed room forces the fan blades to turn.

  • I meant that when anyone proposes a law or regulation to protect consumers, it gets shot down for the excuse of the free market will correct itself. And when it does try to correct itself, the billionaire class just buys up the legislators to bail them and their failing businesses out. Sorry for not being clear.
