Reply to comment by femmestem in ELI5 Why are pickles not just called pickled cucumbers? by Shabless
Yeah, the old recipes for pickles didn't involve any vinegar. You added some salt, then let the bacteria add lactic acid for you. No need to add acetic acid.

Sauerkraut and olives are also both very common, but most people don't think of them as being pickled.
Pig's feet and eggs also both exist, but are definitely uncommon.

Every time there's a new Teams update, I'm weirdly impressed.
It takes real talent, dedication, and effort to keep up their track record of making it very slightly worse with every single update.

It's so flippin' cool to me that we're learning how to make earthquakes.
Do you know if there are any serious plans yet to start deliberately taking preventive measures to head off the Big Ones that we know are inevitable at certain fault lines?

Reply to comment by Xplain9 in TIL about the only double barrel cannon in the world. When it was its first tested during the American Civil War, the chain snapped immediately and one ball tore into a nearby cabin, knocking down its chimney; the other spun off erratically and struck a nearby cow, killing it instantly. by ExpertPreference8481
You jest, but they straight up did expect people to keep cannon around for their militias.

Reply to comment by Unkie_Fester in TIL Generally, hobbyists or casual photographers can expect their digital cameras to last five years, as determined by the shutter count or number of digital images a camera can take before the shutter stops working by Ok_Copy5217
Enough that it's usually not worth it in a body that's also taken the years of use.
It's been a hot decade, but I think it cost $300 for Nikon to do substantial repairs to one of mine. And I think replacement cost was in the $500 range. Typical I think is in the range of 1/4 to 1/3 the cost of replacement for the whole camera... and if you like the model you've been using you can usually get a "used" model that has a double digit shutter count for around that same price by the time you've worn one out.

That's not fair. They fix issues sometimes.
Whenever they need to make extra room for a new issue.
