The preservatives are in the flour. I've made bread with unbleached, organic, non preservative flour. The finished loaves kept for about a week before the mold set in. The unused flour, not much longer.

Never again. When my doctor told me I needed more greens in my diet, I didn't think he meant mold.

Probably a good idea. Short selling and buying options are two different things. If you don't know how they work, best to stay away from them.

If you buy an option (put or call) you can just walk away from it, taking only the option purchase as a loss. (Selling options is a riskier undertaking.)

Buy put options.

Speak for yourself. When I was younger, I could barely lift $100 worth of groceries. Now, it's easy.

Thanks anyway.

During my power company career a few decades ago, this was a real thing. But that was due to the use of power-hungry HID lamps. Today, it's mainly LED lamps, which consume much less power. Small grow operations consumption data drops down into the noise level of typical home use.

Large grows can be found by walking drug dogs through your neighborhood. Or drones equiped with chemical sensors.

I wasn't aware that cannabis use (drugs in particular) were a serious problem in the Asian comunity. Particularly due to the exploitation of the Chinese by the British opium trade in the 19th century, most of the people of Asian descent that I associate with steer clear of the "white man's drugs".

Not completely correct. We had all the U-235 we needed for a bomb plus plutonium production by that date. We did seize and ship back the German supplies captured. But that was in part to keep them out of other parties (Soviet) hands.

Quantum AI math.

... environmentally friendly data centers? Move them to Shivering Moose, Alberta. Easier time cooling them.

I wish them well. And I hope they really clean up in the RPG marketplace.

Although the definitions are hazy, the ingredients in question are those that would NOT be found in home cooking or restaurant cooking of freshly prepared foods. Mostly ingredients added to enhance taste and/or increase shelf stability of stored foods.

That said: One solution to the shelf life of food is ... (get ready for left wing screeching) ... irradiation. Use that and you can greatly diminish or even eliminate the addition of preservatives.

And for those of you who pooh-pooh preservation in favor of "organic" food, untreated organic food can sicken or kill you if stuff starts to grow in it before you cook it. Bacteria loves organic food just as much as you do.

... this could come in handy for school kids on their cell phones.

On mystery meat lunch days.
