Thus the line was drawn in what the definition of bacon is 🥓

Reply to LPT: unless you're at an actual restaurant always order your food to go, it makes clean up a lot easier and dealing with any leftovers is easier too because you don't have to go back and ask for containers by [deleted]
Hmm, if I'm not eating at a sit down restaurant then it is takeout already 🤔

Reply to comment by CorgiMonsoon in TIL If Coca-Cola's inventor had decided to file a patent application in 1892 instead of keeping the recipe a secret, patent protection would have expired long before Pepsi ever came onto the market in 1965. Patent protection lasts 20 years at most. Trade secrets can last forever. by ethereal3xp
Pepsi cola company predates PepsiCo which is when they merged with Frito Lay in 1965

A10s work against enemies that don't have good anti-aircraft defense since they fly really slow. Not ideal against s300 or s400s

Wasn't he cheating on his wife when he got shot? Bought a 80k Benz for the model he was with or something who happened to be a sort of girlfriend of the drug lord who ordered the hit? All sorts of stories were floating around that time

Reply to comment by hkspowers in TIL that Persian limes, the fruit that most Americans and Europeans know as simply “limes” are actually a hybrid of lemons and real limes, what we call “Key limes” today by evclides
I've read it can take seven years to produce fruit and not all trees will. And of those many won't taste good and need other avocado trees to pollinate.Nursery ones I think will, grafting from a producing tree is another way.
