That Logan Bar recipe - was it used for Hershey Chocolate later?

No. Logan bars were mostly Oat flour with a little chocolate for binder. Hersheys uses soured milk in its recipe. Very different.

Yea, lately I noticed I've already heard all of these reecently, and they're from reddit.

The super taster one isn’t a blanket statement, you can be a super taster of one food and not another. 1/2
cmad182
Perfect example is coriander (cilantro for our imperialist cousins) if you can’t stand it, it’s because you’re a super taster of it.
Flyndaran
Completely and laughably wrong. Some of us have the gene that makes it literally taste like hand soap. That's not an intensity at all.
cmad182
Well I heard a scientist make the statement and the wiki page agrees with me, so I don’t think laughably was a good choice.

I hate beer... I'm a supertaster...! Okay, no, probably not, but it would explain why I despise beer.

Holy shit... I might be a super taster because I think anything with alcohol in it is rancid and disgusting.
iloveserotonin
Some researchers have developed questionnaires for just this. Type supertaster questionnaire.edu into Google
Boundkitsune
They didn't mention alcohol in general, just beer specifically.
krapmyself
Hm. Maybe I'm not then. But then I wonder why the taste of alcohol is so foul to me?
KanyeWesticularCancer
I saw that supertaster fact awhile back and got one of those test strips that only taste bad to supertasters. Turns out I am one. TIL.
Flyndaran
That's wrong. Detecting certain tastes is genetic not what they mean by super taster.
swizec
What are they called? Where do youg et them?
KanyeWesticularCancer
Look for a website called Supertaster Lab. They sell the strips for like $4-5 bucks. That’s where I got mine.

British programmes on BBC (paid by tv licence fee) have few ads vs those who are ad rev driven lile Channel 4 etc. American ads suck balls

The show characters in them. Super tacky and dire. Really bring down my investment in a show after that.

Barley any brands use wheat.

Super taster here. It's really IPAs that are the culprit. I have found sour beers to be much tastier
smally1986
Agreed, all my mates think I'm weird for not liking it.

Same. And I can smell when things are done. I never have to time the oven. My husband makes fun of me for it.

Alright, supes. You've made your point ;)

I don’t even like the smell of beer. My parents use my nose to find what went bad in the house and my taste to help season soups.

iscasaci
Can't stand beer, or basically any other alcohol I've ever encountered either.
Valfheim
Seconded. Alcohol makes me feel like shit and it tastes like shit too, so no reason to ever drink the stuff.
libaf
I used to be like that. Then I discovered beer is like cheese. Sooooooo many flavors!
ZOMGNO
Yup. Turns out I was just drinking the beers I didn't like. The more I tried, the better they got. Boyfriend drinks IPAs, and I like those.
Eldibs
Beer is awful, but it doesn't matter. You don't drink alcohol for the taste, you drink it to get drunk. Cheaper options exist for tastiness.
CarInAVet
It's not the alcohol that tastes awful: it's the hops.
Eldibs
All alcohol tastes awful to me.
CarInAVet
Of course it does. It's poison. But what they're referring to here is specifically beer and the taste of hops.
ChuckZombie
A bottle of Captain Morgan is around the same price as a large case of beer. Mix it with some Coke and you're good to go.
Eldibs
That is 100% what I'm having tonight. Mostly gets the job done. Still tastes like drinking hand sanitizer.

If you’re a 16 year old, sure.

I'm thirty and still can't stand the taste of any alcohol, even after a lot of practice.
ILoveTomHiddleston
Have you tried cocktails?
Eldibs
I've tried a great many mixed drinks. They all taste like hand sanitizer to me.
libaf
Ey. I drink it for taste. Which is why I can't touch the hard stuff. Just tastes like disinfectant to me. Beer and ciders are alrite.
ILoveTomHiddleston
I drink it for the taste. I also onlz drink hard stuff. Hate beer and wine.
ChuckZombie
Try a long Island Iced Tea. Most of time you can't taste the alcohol even though it generally has more alcohol than other drinks.
libaf
I have, I don't like being super drunk, though. Which is why I prefer beer or cider.
Eldibs
Is there any non-alcoholic drink you like the taste of? I bet it's cheaper.
libaf
Like water? :P I just drink with friends. They tend to get shitfaced where I just have some beers for company.
stfleming1
The Columbine one is spooky. They also had bombs in the parking lot to try to kill emergency responders. Luckily none of them went off
ronifish
Thinking about how they thought of this gives me chills
stfleming1
Eric was disturbed and wanted to hurt people. Dylan was to a degree but had a job and a girlfriend. He was just easily manipulated
AlexiusCastrum
As I remember from research (Bowling for Columbine and other stuff), the lunchroom bombs were intended to collapse the library above onto /1
AlexiusCastrum
the lunchroom, killing dozens if not hundreds of students during the lunch hour. /2
stfleming1
Correct. They planned to sit in their car and then shoot kids as they evacuated
saintofchaoticgood
They also planted one in a park on the other side of town to blow first so the first responders would be busy and they’d have more time.
NekoMiko06
You see, if the diversion bombs (cause why just 1?) didn't go off, I'd make anonymous tipoffs to their locations so cops went there anyway.

Wow, thats what the terrorist in Oslo did. Blew up a gov building then went to utøya and massacred the teen politician's while cops was gon

Yeah and now he sues the state, because he only has a PlayStation 2 and not a newer Model or something. Disgusting piece of human garbage.

Stupid question maybe, but how did so many bombs fail? What are the odds of that? You'd think at least one would have worked.

RetConMan
Probably looked up disinformation on bomb building and didn't realize it. There were a lot of fake Anarchist Cookbooks out there.
superanth
One of the bombs actually did go off much later. It sounded like they didn't build the detonators correctly.
saintofchaoticgood
The clocks they used had a plastic second hand. So the electrical connection wasn’t completed to set the bombs off.
aCoolBreezeOnAHotSummerDay
Still can’t fathom how kids could become so evil
saintofchaoticgood
Erik was analyzed to be a psychopath. According to their journals he’d been planning for over a year. Dylan was more of depression/sheep
sakkehattu
Fault in the design, not execution. That's my guess at least.
Ulthirm
They probably messed up the design, such as didnt compress the hydrogen enough.
hotdogmermaid
Not a stupid question. But my answer because idk know the real answer is they didn’t know how to make them correctly
ICantFindTheRightUsername
I’m guessing they were not very good at making bombs
EIonMusk
You may be right
TheWindyTitty
...which is a good thing
ICantFindTheRightUsername
oh YES definitely!

What are they gonna do, look up how to make bombs

RemainsspacebarUnknown
since when does it take $150k a month to take care of a child.
SteffanHymer
the monthly rate is a % of annual income. it's like taxes. the more they make, the more is given in child support. American law is f*cked.
RepostMalone
I actually like that concept.
CeriCat
It's done here in Australia as well, it can really hurt the spouse providing the support when they're being responsible & honest sometimes.
SteffanHymer
my opinion might be skewed. my father and i were almost homeless after he lost his job from support payments when she cheated and divorced.
SteffanHymer
it was taking too long to get his rate adjusted after being jobless we almost got kicked out from falling behind. it's not great by far.
scnottaken
You were living with dad but he was paying? What?

He probably didn't press charges, even though he could.
libaf
Isn't suing people expensive in murica? Pretty sure she got none of her legal fees back. Might have had to pay keanu's too.
gunter
matter of time until you get lucky and some accusations stick because that someone doesn't have a good alibi.
RedStarBeograd
it happens tho
colonelrussia
Also isn't she the one who have to prove that the father is Keanu, or does he have to do DNA test every time some crazy bitch sued him?

Civil case, he has to disprove the allegation. Criminal the burden of evidence is on the plaintiff.

That is not a big deal, but getting caught by a camera suggests it was at work?

Even though the issue was different, he still "got in trouble for getting caught on camera with a way younger girl" so it's still funny.

idk why they stated the ages, it's more about having an affair (aka married + that?) with a co-worker, which is guaranteed to cause trouble
dilbobaggins
It was in violation of the morality clause of his contract. His personal conduct affects the brand perception of his employer to customers.
Ivain
fair enough. So it was caused by the affair, as I thought, but not for the reason I thought.
aguacatedeldiablo
When a primary element of your show focuses on age differences, people will draw uncomfortable parallels. It's enough to tank the show.

he was doing a show about catching people in their 30s sleeping with 15 year olds and the Irony was just too much
MissLadyPants
15 is a minor. 35 is a middle aged consenting adult
InvadingYourSpaces
The situations are nothing alike, and not even close to irony. He cheated and slept with a co-worker. Ages are irrelevant.
likeumreal
Correct, they are not the same but if you're unable to see the bad optics of a host of such a show cheating then we cant help you.
InvadingYourSpaces
If you lump marital affairs and child predators in the same category of 'relationships', then I hope you seek help.

iguessidontknowhowtospellimaganative
There's a bit of a difference between 15 and 35.
ParanoidWithGoodCause
yeah 20 years, which also the difference between 35 and 55
aguacatedeldiablo
I got you, man, I was about to make the same joke
6ft1DickC
The point is, 35 is well above the legal age of consent and is no longer a minor. They're 2 consenting adults, nothing wrong there
ParanoidWithGoodCause
nearly every atrocity ever committed was LEGAL, legality is not a useful tool for measuring what is morally acceptable
ohdeepthought
I think they are talking about sexual maturity. A 35 yo woman is not the same as a 15 yo girl.
ParanoidWithGoodCause
obviously not, but as far as the mental capacity to give meaningful consent that seems to be lacking in both cases
