I prefer the readers to the performers. We all have our likes and dislikes.

Reply to TIL that the USA uses 10x as much salt on the road than they do in processed foods, and was first introduced on the roads in New Hampshire. by madmansmarker

I don't think they used salt on the roads in Wisconsin when I was a kid (50s and 60s). The roads seemed to always have packed snow on them. I lived in LaCrosse and we would sled down roads on the bluffs. They did spread sand. Which was no doubt more environmentally sound, but did not do a good job of clearing the ice and packed snow.

If I remember correctly this weird guy sexually harassed Ali McGraw. I seem to remember her complaining about him in an interview. (https://www.contactmusic.com/ali-macgraw/news/macgraw-appalled-by-dali)

Reply to ELI5 Why can’t plants absorb nitrogen from the air? by Cool-Boy57

Alfalfa fixes nitrogen through bacterial action - nitrogen fixing bacteria. That's why crop rotation is done. It adds nitrogen to the soil and feeds the cattle.
