Even on 7, this was easily avoided by allowing Patch Tuesday to occur on schedule.

I never used 7. The last one I used was Windows 8.0 and I had to install ClassicShell even to use the *$#@ at all. Why in Hell did Microsoft even come with the Metro GUI in the first place?

I honestly don't see what everyone issue is. My biggest response is this is change. Life is change. Get over it and move on.

Not really, no. Not enough to ever be any affect at all on the taste, your health, or anything. This is a common Industrial Process to extract more oil from pressed oilseeds.

Since refined peanut oil tends to contained traces of an industrial solvent used in extraction of oil, I want to avoid using this. Not really, no.

Also salt was used as a fertilizer in SMALL AMOUNTS. If you use too much you kill the plants. If the land was barren from over use but still in decent shape you could help the land. (My mom studies the bible and ancient history a lot.) I did read something like that, but I have a hard time acceptin...

I think I'll just stick to unrefined peanut oil for any frying and keep the Roasted for flavoring. Unrefined peanut oil is not the same thing as unroasted peanut oil. Unrefined peanut oil still contains peanut compounds besides oil, and has a lower smoke point. Like roasted peanut oil, it is genera...

Roasted sesame oil has a very strong flavor which can overpower anything cooked with it unless it is used sparingly. Frying something in it would leave the food tasting like roasted sesame oil and little else. I don't see why you couldn't bake with roasted oils, as the amount of oil used in baked g...

Peanut oil or sunflower oil are go-to choices for deep fryers, since they don't decompose as easily as other common cooking oils (e.g.: Olive or Canola oils). https://www.masterclass.com/articles/cooking-oils-and-smoke-points-what-to-know-and-how-to-choose I keep getting results for Peanut oil and ...

Anyone heard of this or the Shuar tribe from the Amazon? https://nuts.com/nuts/peanuts/jungle.html Well I suppose if one wanted to support a native tribe from that area, you buy these.

I'm not familiar with roasted peanut oil, but if it is anything like roasted sesame oil you don't want to fry with it. Roasted sesame oil is used more like a condiment, in small amounts. It would be overpowering (not to mention expensive) if used for frying. Regular (not roasted) peanut oil is exce...

I was thinking of buying some unrefined peanut oil for frying earlier today around noon or so, but soon learned that the stuff with the most flavor is Roasted. Which I use it to make my own Salad Dressing or just straight up put it on the Salad. I have zero experience with any kind of peanut oil. Bu...

The word "salary" has Latin roots. Roman soldiers were paid partially in salt. In Latin, salt is "sal". So, we're all still working for salt.

It was, but not on the scale you're thinking... There were some rare examples of land owned by specific people or families being salted to the point where it might have made the land unusable for a while - typically traitors or enemy leaders - and this would usually be followed by executions and th...

Due to another poster mentioning this in a different Thread, I wanted to have a talk about this. I heard this phrase back when I was kid.

Well I fried some canned corn beef hash in a pan with a small onion, a pat of butter, some seasoning and Tabasco sauce, and a can of mushrooms. Much better then microwaving this stuff. Yeah, it's always better cooked on the stove. The Maillard reaction makes food extra delicious! Personally I would...

Considering that Steam does has actual free games, it doesn't even make sense to anyone to pay Microsoft for these types of casual games anyway.

What was the description of the course? Was it explicitly supposed to be teaching hands-on PC application skills? TBH what you're describing sounds like a fairly typical first-year CS course to me.
