I tend to rinse and run water through it, in a deep sink. I’m pretty sure that I don’t make the mess shown here.

Not Eating For Two Weeks
Someone gives soylent a try.
Caffeine Addiction
I started drinking coffee a few weeks ago, primarily for medicinal purposes (a couple cups in the morning). I don’t really enjoy it, and I’ve never noticed any mental effect from doing so. If I didn’t make a pot for her every morning, I probably wouldn’t bother. When I skip a day, I don’t notice anything, either. So maybe I’m sort of impervious to its effects. Of course, that could also mean that I’m not getting any of the hoped-for health benefits of drinking it.
Kickstarter
Is it anti-science?
I think it needs more competition than just Indiegogo.
Larva Breeders
Ummmmmm…no. Just no.
Though they might be useful in space.
The Vegan Diet
…almost kills a kitten.
It’s not good for people, either, but it’s a lot worse for a carnivore.
Gluten Intolerance
What if it’s all in your head? I think the same may be true for MSG.
Some Kitchen Advice

Salt
There is no scientific evidence that reducing intake is good for your health.
I’ve cut back myself, because I seem to be empirically salt sensitive, in terms of my blood pressure, but EPID in that regard, I think. I’ve also switched over to sea salt to get a wider variety, including potassium. I’d never prescribe public policy about the matter, or make war on it, as Nurse Bloomberg has.
