@raincoaster: The existence of monsters is always endorsed by Gawker Media. In fact, many monsters exist solely for the benefit of Gawker's editorial staff. Cthulhu had better attack Montauk if he wants his own post, though.
The best part of Martha's interview with Serena was when Martha taunted, "I'm going to take this fucking ball and shove it down your fucking throat--a delicious rum ball from my new book of favorite holiday recipes!" Serena forced a smile, but after the show took a spatula to Martha's head.
@vampirebris: No, the opposite. Adding a solute to a solvent will raise the boiling point. You put salt in the water to make the boiling point higher, not lower.
So the water is hotter, which will cook some things faster. But it will take longer to boil; it will not reach a boil faster. It will have to get to a temperature hotter than 100 degrees C.
Boiling-point elevation describes the phenomenon that the boiling point of a liquid (a solvent) will be higher when another compound is added, meaning that a solution has a higher boiling point than a pure solvent. This happens whenever a non-volatile solute, such as a salt, is added to a pure solvent, such as water. The boiling point can be measured accurately using an ebullioscope.
@booge: I knew there was a reason when I was a kid working in the kitchen of a falling-down tavern that I added salt to the water when I was cooking pasta. I knew it wasn't just taste and no working cook would try to slow things down.
@daveyjonesisdead: Oh, it's completely a method, not madness. But everyone has their quirks that they jump at: some people pick at typos, or metathesis ("foilage"), or straighten picture frames. I don't like shit like this.
Don't get me started on losing our littlest toes or wisdom teeth to natural selection/evolution.
@PandoraSpocks: Zing Zing Zing ZING ZING ZING ZING just you try and click on these links to actual blog posts with these ZINGS all over the damn place! Zing!
@ampersandparade: Well, the Hungarian IT department or wherever the fuck they are now has also made it impossible to reply to two people at once. So for you and SKAHAMMER and the others, I must say that this camel's back is only one straw short of collapse.
I stayed after Balk left, and Emily, and even when the other women had it after he canned Sheila. And Ii adore Sheila. I am trying to stay after Richard, but if I get one more fucking pop up, I am gone.
Nick Gatsby, this is your better self calling.
But you never listen, do you?
