Hush! That his is not widely known is how I can excuse my beer and icecream habits by comparing temperatures! 🤣 Also why pizza demands cold beer.

I love how what us Americans call a calorie is actually a kcal, meaning k as in thousand.  So if you say you eat 2,000 calories per day, what you're actually saying is that you eat 2,000,000 calories per day.

(probably will be tomorrow, lol, or later today)

Per reference on Wikipedia:

"Prior to modern medicine, Native Americans and Mexicans primarily used Opuntia as a coagulant for open wounds, using the pulp of the stem either by splitting the stem or scraping out the pulp"
