That's right. And if you try to get a computer to divide by 0, it will crash! Even modern technology is not smart enough to avoid it.

The Japanese spider crab is a large catch for any fisherman. With a leg span of 13 feet (4 meters) and an average weight of around 40 pounds (16-20 kg), it claims the title of largest crab. It may also have the longest lifespan of any crab, living to be 100 years old. 

 

I got a 

OOPS! WE CAN’T FIND THAT PAGE.

upon clicking the crab link ... 😐

 

So, thought I'd post a picture. image.jpeg.eb0153b22302b95cf03612bb53057f44.jpeg

 

Imagine if the crab's body were more proportional in size to the legs!

Thanks, David, for your random nature facts! 😎

An oldie but a goodie, but it was the first time i heard of door hinge rhyming with orange

It's not a one-for-one exact rhyme but rather on the rhyme spectrum. It's more "rhyme-ishy" than, by comparison, let's say "tomato sauce"

Did you know there is a 10 minute Morning Worship talk where brother Gary Breaux uses some math and sound reasoning to show that Satan is a zero?  See "Gary Breaux: Protect Yourself From Misinformation (Dan. 11:27)"

I  know that all of us (Jehovah's people ) are worth more than zeros - in our God's eyes we are priceless ❤️

ATP adenosine triphosphate is often called the “energy currency” of the cell because it stores and transfers energy needed for various cellular functions.
 

Speed of Production and Consumption:

 

The human body can produce and consume around 50 to 75 kilograms (110 to 165 pounds) of ATP daily, but only a small amount of ATP (about 250 grams) is stored at any given time.

ATP molecules are constantly recycled: once ATP releases its energy by losing a phosphate group (becoming ADP, adenosine diphosphate), it is quickly recharged into ATP through cellular respiration or photosynthesis.

This rapid cycle allows cells to meet the energy demands of various processes instantly.

Scientists have identified over 12,000 species of ants worldwide, but some estimates suggest there could be as many as 22,000 species in total, as many are yet to be discovered or classified.

 

Ant species vary significantly in terms of size, behavior, diet, and habitat. Some species are tiny, measuring only a few millimeters, while others, like the Dinoponera, can reach up to 2 inches in length. These different species are adapted to live in diverse environments, ranging from rainforests and deserts to urban areas.

 

The remarkable diversity allows ants to thrive in various ecological niches. Some ants are predatory, feeding on insects or even small animals, while others are omnivorous or herbivorous. Some species, like leafcutter ants, cultivate fungus as their primary food source, showcasing their complex and cooperative behaviors. This vast array of species and their adaptability have allowed ants to become one of the most successful groups of insects on the planet, present on nearly every continent except Antarctica.

 

In short, the staggering variety of ants, coupled with their ability to thrive in numerous environments, makes them a fascinating and ubiquitous part of the global ecosystem.

If someone wants to observe this creation you can make or buy a ant terrarium and see these "hardworking " creation that Jehovah made for the earth .

Cold pizza tastes good the next day (even if not refrigerated) for several reasons related to flavor and texture changes:

 

1. Flavor Concentration: As the pizza cools, the moisture evaporates from the sauce and toppings, concentrating their flavors. This makes certain tastes, like the sweetness of tomato sauce and the savory qualities of cheese and pepperoni, more pronounced.

2. Fat Solidification: Pizza typically contains a lot of fat, especially from cheese and meats. When the pizza cools down, the fats solidify, which can change the texture and mouthfeel of the pizza. Solidified fats feel less greasy, and many people find the mouthfeel of cold pizza to be more pleasant and less heavy.

3. Texture Changes: The cooling process also affects the texture of the crust. A cold crust becomes firmer, especially around the edges, which some people enjoy for its crunchy texture. Meanwhile, the middle of the pizza, which often remains softer, provides a contrasting bite that some find appealing.

4. Blended Flavors: After sitting overnight, the ingredients have more time to interact, allowing the flavors to meld together. This creates a more unified taste compared to freshly made pizza, where individual components (like sauce, cheese, and toppings) might be more distinct.

 

DISCLAIMER:

While this might make cold pizza enjoyable for many, it’s important to note that leaving pizza unrefrigerated for long periods (especially more than 2 hours) can pose a food safety risk due to bacterial growth. It’s best to refrigerate pizza if you’re going to eat it later. https://www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&docid=501100003&srctype=wol&srcid=share&par=10

Umami is often described as the “fifth taste” alongside sweet, salty, sour, and bitter. It is a savory, rich flavor that is commonly associated with foods high in glutamates, which are amino acids found naturally in many foods. The word “umami” comes from Japanese, meaning “pleasant savory taste.”

 

Here’s a breakdown of umami:

 

1. Flavor Profile: Umami gives foods a depth of flavor, making them taste more complex and rich. It’s often described as a mouthwatering, brothy, or meaty sensation. This flavor lingers longer than the other tastes and helps intensify the overall flavor of dishes.

2. Food Sources: Foods that are rich in umami include:

Aged cheeses like Parmesan

Mushrooms

Tomatoes

Soy sauce

Fish and shellfish

Meat, especially beef and pork

Seaweed (such as kombu)

Fermented foods like miso or kimchi

3. Scientific Basis: Umami is caused by the presence of glutamate, inosinate, or guanylate, which are compounds found in high-protein foods. When these compounds are broken down through cooking, aging, or fermentation, they release more glutamate, increasing the umami flavor.

4. Culinary Importance: Chefs often enhance umami in dishes to add complexity and satisfaction to the overall flavor. It’s commonly found in broths, stocks, and sauces, especially in Asian cuisines. However, many Western dishes, like tomato-based sauces or grilled meats, also have significant umami flavor.

 

In short, umami contributes to the savory and satisfying nature of many dishes, making it a key element in both traditional and modern cooking. It enhances other flavors, making the overall eating experience more enjoyable.

Carrots cooked in a broth known to contain high amounts of Unami are describe as tasting/having more carrot flavor. Unami tends to enhance other flavors.
