I give "gluten free" a pass because it's not always obvious. Some people do have very severe reactions and some products do, unsuspectingly, contain gluten in the form of filler content or for some other mechanical use. Sausage is specifically known to use wheat product as filler and binder. Same for deli meats and veggie burgers. Some places will even throw breadcrumbs into their ground beef for burgers to fake it's tenderness, so it crumbles like a meatloaf would.

Then there's seasonings. Potato chips are made from potatoes, right? But not all chips are potato chips. You'd hope a gluten-issue person would be able to identify pita chips or bagged crackers from the chips selection would have gluten, but it turns out, despite being a corn chip, Dorito dust can affect gluten sensitivities. Soy sauce and malt vinegar are issues, and seasoning mixes use flour to help distribution

With CRC Brakleen, red cans are chlorinated and green cans are not. Many US states have banned red Brakleen/TCE parts cleaners.

The point of brake cleaner is that it's not supposed to leave a residue. It's not actually meant to be a general parts degreaser, but rather a braking surface cleaner. But being able to remove oils without additional water has made it the WD40 of mechanical cleaners. Rarely the right product , but often right enough.

Does it just mean "sharpened to the point you can use your regular re-sharpening device"?

I do love GM's "Supercruise" moniker. Accurate, and my introduction was during a CTS Blackwing commercial, so it was a great pairing.

Still disable it on rentals though.

I feel like your comment is a little sarcastic. I have actually had a non-microwave safe plastic plate (that predated the omnipresence of the microwave) actually explode. It boiled faster than the food heated and made pressure pockets inside.

Cholesterol-free is such a bullshit label anyway because dietary cholesterol doesn't do anything special to your own cholesterol. You are not a chicken and the egg yolk will not go directly to your bloodstream. Your blood has human cholesterol that you made yourself from the rest of the sugars and fats you ate, digested, converted, stored, and reeconverted.

F Save The World (paid early access) was July 2017. FN Battle Royale was September 2017. And, for reference, PUBG launched the beta in March 2017, full release Dec 2017

Not sure what theme, style, or use you're looking for. I don't have suggestions that would hit in a fun powerful way like the soundtrack to American Horror Story: Coven (but I guess that playlist is a recommendation). I'm into metal and I'm imagining higher feminine vocals that may not be entirely understandable, so that's what I have. Generally, the top tracks on Spotify are representative of the sound I associate with each.

Chelsea Wolfe comes to mind first. She drifts between metal and folk (sort of?), but the lyrical content is largely consistent. Hiss Spun (2017) is the album I like most, followed by She Reaches Out To She Reaches Out To She (2024) if the other is too metal. She also put some work into the X/MaXine/?? horror movie trilogy score with Tyler Bates

I lied, some more upbeat bands would be Cellar Darling (hard rock, fantasy themes, cello solos) or Castle Rat (if you needed Iron Maiden to beseige a castle).

Not exactly jams or bangers, but my autumn work/build grind playlist consisted of Heriot, Faetooth, Author & Punisher, Conjurer, and King Yosef. This is some heavy background score material to give me that fay metal mood without too much focus on the music itself. They're what built my 7ft tall deer reaper for Halloween. Discovered this genre(?) from a goth burlesque/freak show performance.

I couldn't believe it'd been out for ten years, so I checked. It's been out for ~10 years, but not 10 years, originally releasing mid 2017

That looks like my cheddar! That's why, without the aid of an industrial shearing rig, I have to hold the knife at about 15 degrees off vertical, cutting edge towards the block. The cut goes straight down. I've accepted the superiority of using a small santoku knife and having to hand wash. I really should get a wire slicer
