I'm proud to announce that as of this year I've become a world-class expert at chewing.
Chemists actually find it simpler to define a general odor of rotten eggs as a baseline, and the LACK of rotten eggs as a distinct smell.

This is such a good point; I don't think I've ever smelled a rotten egg (though I know the smell that's referenced).

People also always compare the smell of cyanide to "bitter almonds". But the thing is, bitter almonds don't smell like regular almonds (Regular almonds? They smell almost exactly the same as cherries), and aren't commonly eaten (Because, y'know, they've got a small amount of cyanide in them). The thing you might recognize which smells like bitter almonds and like cyanide is superglue.

Do you make a distinction between shallots, scallops, and scallions? If you use all three words, do they all have different meanings, all the same, or are two the same and one different?

I do make a distinction. Scallops is a fish-scale style pattern. Scallions are the fringy bits on the top of castle walls. Shallots is a small district in Wales, formerly ruled by Sleeping Beauty.

Feels like I picked a bad year to try to start having a healthy relationship with political news.
You'd think it'd be easy to just bet money against these people, but you have to consider the probability of them paying up.

A conversation I’ve had too many times. Especially around election season :/

Changes with this update: If you use the combined scan-shred function, it now performs them in that order instead of the reverse, saving a HUGE amount of CPU time.

No lie, I've been in engineering discussions about the feasibility of coupling a printer, scanner, and shredder as a secure one-way channel to transfer data between isolated networks.
