Yes, that’s a good one. I do it often (well, when I’m snacking on pistachios).
Just about a month ago, I learned something in text selecting/editing/cutting/pasting that has eluded me for decades. I have always clicked the mouse to place the cursor in the field of text where I want to start selecting. Then I hold and drag to where I want to stop; highlighting the selection. Right?
What I didn’t know was that I can make this much easier on myself. I still make the first click but don’t hold. Then move my mouse cursor to where I want to stop the selection, hold Shift, and click again. Between the 2 clicks, my selection has been easily selected. :smack:
The dominant flavor in black pepper is a chemical compound called piperine. It’s found naturally in pepper obviously. But you can also produce piperine artificially via chemical processes.
Ok, I knew this about two cities, but how many who don’t live in the central USA know that there are two cities name Kansas City? There’s the Kansas side and the Missouri side. In some places they are seperated by the river, and in others you can walk across the street and be in a different city and state.
Back when Kansas still didn’t have liquor by the drink my sister was a pharmacy student, and when the weekend arrived they’d go to the other side of the street in Missouri, which was lined with bars!
I didn’t know that last part; I thought the state border followed the river.
This reminded me of some confusion I once encountered. I live in western New York but I grew up in northern New York. Somebody who knew this asked me how much it cost to get into Canada up north.
In western New York, the border runs along the Niagara River so all the border crossings are bridges. And the bridges charge tolls. But this guy hadn’t realized he was being charged a toll to cross the bridge. He thought he was being charged a toll to cross the border and this was standard practice all along the border.
They can break and enter in emergencies also. I was the person at our club (with several acres of land) who coordinated the contact information with the local rescue squad. I arranged to update the lock combination on our front gate whenever we changed it (semi-annually, after dues were umm, due, because if you didn’t pay your dues access was denied). They were happy to have the combination because the ambulances services cannot cut the lock and enter. They had to call the fire department who was allowed to do it.
