Severity of punishment doesn’t actually serve as an effective deterrent because nobody envisions themselves being caught.

The crime is simple, undoing it is very complex.

There’s dialect and then there’s “no, that’s not what that word means.” I’m not telling you it’s wrong to call several different things pudding, I’m pointing out that it’s kinda weird not to just extend that acceptance to gravy when someone describes something from their culture.

For your own sadistic pleasure? The only point of “making them suffer” is for the gratification of the torturer. I don’t take pleasure in pain, I just want them gone.

Local newspapers are still a thing, so are bulletin boards at city hall or whatever cultural center you have. (I’ve seen event listings at bars, libraries, near a fountain, wherever stuff gets hosted)

Gotta make friends before dating. Having no friends is a big red flag.

I don’t think you should get to be particular, considering how you treat the word “pudding”.

The fat renders out of the sausage. It’s usually made in a single large pan.

“Gravy” here means “gravy”. You may treat brown gravy as the default but the drippings+thickener+liquid idea is the same.

Pressure cookers (and their scary cousin the pressure fryer) are kitchen witchcraft.

In addition to the biscuit recipe Tony replied with, the gravy in question is normally a white gravy made from “breakfast sausage” (ground pork with spices, particularly sage) and black pepper. The dish is salty, savory, and quite filling. Mostly served for breakfast with eggs and/or hashbrowns.

I much prefer harm reduction to punishment. “Justice” is overrated, just let the monsters die and get out of the way as fast as possible.

if you see a shelled peanut with the husk on, you wouldn’t call it a whole fruit.

You reasonably could, though. “Fruit” has different meanings (with significant overlap) when speaking culinarily versus botanically. Corn, for example, is a fruit and a vegetable and a seed and a cereal grain depending on context.

“Each containing a single seed inside” does not mean “those are the seeds” and I provided a counter-example to illustrate my point.

Andrew Johnson started this whole ball rolling by letting the Confederacy get away with it.

It’s a little arbitrary but the thickness of the pericarp (shell/husk) is the key difference between a nut and an achene. Strawberries have achenes.

A peach contains a single seed but you don’t call the whole thing a seed. The pips of a strawberry are called “achenes” which is a type of dry fruit. It doesn’t matter at all for general use but it is botanically significant.

Yeah, practice at the range until your aim doesn’t suck.

Loose flour in the air is a fire risk. A bag of flour on a grill is not. (It will burn but in a boring way)

Can’t say I agree. I wouldn’t hire an open bigot and skimming social media is a good way to filter for tharlt. The problem is the puritanical aversion to sex and sexuality.
