Is This Anything? 19
Ok, so: if you have pastries you want to save for tomorrow, you're kinda stuck. If you put them in the fridge they'll go soggy, and if you leave them out in the open they'll go stale.
It feels like the solution is a vacuum-sealed chamber, right? Like the thing you can do with wine bottles with that special cork and a pump and you pump all the air out and the wine (supposedly) stays un-oxygenated for longer.
And other people have had this thought, and the modern manufacturing sector is a miracle, so many such chambers are available to purchase online.
And yet I've never heard of anyone doing this, and the ratings on the aforementioned products are bad, so why doesn't this work in practice?
It is disproportionately hateful when something (or someone) you dislike succeeds in real time. Why? There's lots of already-succesful things in the world I dislike, and that doesn't bother me nearly as much as watching the ascendancy of a disliked thing happen in real time. What's the difference?
Here's some books I am reading, or thinking of reading – if you're currently reading them too let's chat:
