That's when I just let them have the hole they dug. I'd normally at least tip 20% (usa of course.)

I get that the service staff has little to no control over this charge, but I got it earlier tonight on a party of two. No extra service, no check-ins, no waters, nothing other than "here ya go." They even had a QR code to order and pay with phone number, email, and address requirement even though I'm out of town on a one off drop in.

That's not making sense to me. Would you be willing to find your sources? Larger particles would not spend more time in the air as far as I know. It's almost like you're claiming it's better to sneeze wild straight out everywhere instead of into your elbow, handkerchief, or tissue.

Lighten up. This is no way to have a productive discussion. If you aren't in the mood, then maybe you shouldn't be commenting right now. Take a breather. We all have bad days. Hope you feel better.

Isn't Japanese read from right to left?

Keep experimenting and refining.

Pine can be stained and finished. Oak, cherry, and maple can sometimes look like crap. It's a matter of preparing the wood properly. Try making sample boards. Sand consistently, don't skip grits, don't apply much pressure to the sander (let it do the work,) experiment with a pre-stain conditioner. It can help minimize splotching and some tooling marks.

Traditional (penetrating) stain needs to be applied evenly and benefits greatly from pre-stain conditioner.

Gel stains (sometimes called wiping stains, but that term gets misused) are wipe on, wipe off excess about five minutes later if you weren't already doing that. They are made to sink in a certain amount and stop.

Urethanes don't typically do well with back brushing, especially fast dry varieties. Spread urethanes thick and consistently and try not to go back over it. Lightly sand at 220 or 320 between coats and remove swarf with tack cloth or lint free cloth lightly dampened with alcohol.

Tung oils are rubbed in. Danish oils are applied thinly. These are relatively similar. Lightly sand between coats like above.

The book "Understanding Wood Finishing" by Bob Flexner is an astoundingly comprehensive book on the subject.

Don't give up on pine just yet. Hemlock, heart pine, many others can all be quite beautiful in the right setting and application. For rough stuff, try the pre-stain conditioner

Meanwhile in America, I'm trying to figure out how to measure a third of an inch because feet are measured in barley corns.

I saw that and thought, I'll take two loads right now! No, three!

Doesn't seem like this had to do with tomatoes at all

It doesn't have to be strict. Some people make too big of a deal out of it. Most of us are used to eating in certain combinations anyways and our bodies have adjusted. One small example that you've probably heard, turmeric's beneficial components are more bioavailable when eaten with black pepper. The body digests foods in varying ideal circumstances depending on what it is. Ultimately, you'll probably be just fine eating a varied diet, but there are combinations that are better or worse for nutrient uptake, gastric comfort, blood sugar spikes, etc.

Poor food combinations can give you gas/bloating, indigestion, fatigue. Good food combinations work together and can help with the uptake of certain nutrients.

Don't you think mental health is stigmatized enough without using it to make fun of people you don't understand?

Look up books and info on food combining. Some foods interfere with the digestion of other foods while some help, as you probably know.
