  • I’m pretty unclear about what you’re asking. So I’ll do my best to answer them as I read it.

    Humans need salt. As far as I know, there is not chemical reaction in our cooking that transforming the molecules in salt (Na+ and Cl- for table salt).

    With that said, I believe OP was answering of when to add salt for flavor maximization.

    Since salt doesn’t transform the process of cooking, nutrient absorption is the same. Microwaving doesn’t alter food despite it being radiation. Microwaves heat your food by vibrating the water molecules.








  • Been playing around with a book idea. It’s in the style of the Ouipo inspired book, A Void. The book, written in French, is done so without using the letter “e”. Perec is a mad man and an amazing writer. And I don’t think anything I will write will be anywhere near that quality.

    I want to write something similar that is a world without ‘ai’ (written by AI*). It’s been fun structuring chapters, characters, themes, settings, etc. I’m not a writer by training, but I do like word play and so this has been fun.

    I have no hope or dreams of publishing, but I might show a few friends who get it. And hope that it tickles them the way it tickles me.

    * I really don’t like the output so far. And I have my doubts about it becoming good. But I got something that wasn’t outright bad the other night. So who knows?


  • Most people bore me.

    I don’t want to say that there aren’t boring people, but c’mon… You’re no troubador yourself. People don’t exist to keep you from being bored.

    Living for the sake of not dying is not a living itself. People find meaning in lots of things: art, religion, bullshitting, pushing the bounds of knowledge, making loved ones laugh.

    The meaning we make is our own and we share that living journey with a few others. It can be amazing and difficult and complicated. It’s rare to have someone truly get you, but we put ourselves out there because get got is so good.
