And yes the other part was "is it safe to not wash mushrooms" and maybe there's a regional difference. Doesn't matter too much to me, we wash mushrooms and cook them as described and find them delicious, so we'll continue to do so 🙂 Others can cook as they want

@rumtscho That's correct, as my biggest issue with the original question is that there shouldn't be water left over when cooking

@Stephie apologies, I wasn't asking for you to change the basic rules of the site. While I don't agree (I feel my answer was a frame challenge to the question) I accept that it's deleted and wasn't asking for it to be undeleted

@rumtscho I thought my answer here contained useful information. I understand you feel it didn't answer the question... do you think instead it would be better if I asked and self-answered a different question to share knowledge wiki style, or do you just feel it's a bad answer and should remain deleted?

Found it, here's the video which changed how we cook mushrooms in this house, and it's a definite improvement: americastestkitchen.com/videos/…

@StianYttervik never had any problem cooking mushrooms after washing them, but the way we cook mushrooms over here is very different to how @Tetsujin and that question described. We typically steam them in a pan with water until all the water is gone, and then add oil and fry them

Clearly says "wash before use"

Maybe the "don't wash" advice is regional? Because this is what the mushrooms in my fridge look like: i.sstatic.net/ZJuJO.jpg

Maybe supermarket mushrooms are cleaner where you are but in stores around me they are downright filthy and I always wash them thoroughly. Especially if eating raw. Just my experience!

Are you in the USA? If so, the USPS Informed Delivery app combined with checking at 5PM (or whatever the last time mail is delivered) may be a much easier solution

@DKNguyen NOAA disagrees with you: Scientists defined “mild” weather as temperatures between 64 and 86 degrees F. But regardless of the definition of "mild," unless OP is keeping his house at <45F, using electric resistance heating when it's 25F or below is going to be very expensive
The Unhandled Exception

25F is not “mild”, that’s below freezing, and electric resistance heating is very expensive. Sounds like that’s a major factor.

After discussing it with others @LPH it's clear not all agree with me. Political correctness aside, it's not the term I'd use (doesn't carry the right connotation to me...) but I can understand a point of view on how it can be used. (My downvote is locked in because it was over an hour ago, but I could remove if you edit the answer)
The Unhandled Exception
Aug 23, 2020 20:35
More cultural references than political correctness @LPH. I’ve winced when hearing characters in movies and TV use the term to describe casual encounters. But that’s just my personal opinion

I downvoted because the word "conquest" is sometimes used as an inappropriate objectification for sexual partners; more technically the term can be defined as "sexual conquest", but is often shortened to just "conquest", and is considered to be derogatory...

Should I mention the platform in the question body if I'm unsure if the platform matters? Sometimes the port of a game differs from one platform to another, and I have no idea if that's true in my case

It's tricky -- having not played this game on any other platform I don't know if the platform matters...

hey @Wrigglenite I saw that you removed the nintendo-switch tag from my recent questions... Does that mean that I should not be tagging questions with the platform I'm playing on? (I thought that was a thing on Arqade)

@DavidRiceregarding your comment "When you picture a child learning english, you think they're taught to never use 'they' as an ambiguous singular?" yes, as a child and teenager in the 1990s in the USA I was specifically taught not to use "they" as an ambiguous singular because it is a plural noun. "What would their teacher say?" I was taught that he/she or "one" is the proper usage and (s)he is the more informal correct usage. We would get corrected (and possibly marked down) for using "they/their" to refer to a singular person.

@Chris The more time I spent as a mod, the less I got concerned with the fact that we're still in beta. Despite my initial panic that many betas were shut down, it also seems like many betas just stay beta for a long time; CogSci is one of them

@mfloren Agreed -- Any question across the stack exchange network that can be answered by a LMGTFY link should probably be closed, they don't add value. A good Stack Exchange question becomes the top result in Google, not the other way around.

Flyers in universities, advertisements to TAs and undergrads, etc might help. If we could get a few professors onboard that might rally help. This is an area I can't help with at all, not being in the field
Josh

@StevenJeuris to this point, you and I spoke a number of times about ways to attract that audience. Being all-includisive didn't seem to do it, but if we get more closed, we need to look at ways to advertise the site to experts. Outside programmers, very few people seem to know about Stack Exchange (though that's growing)

That's why I think the Incubation question is good -- it's based on a real phenomenon, it's asking for more information so further research can be done on that phenomenon, it's popular, and it's a hobbyist/non-expert question which attracts visitors, but has an expert answer
Josh
Jul 18, 2017 14:36
@ArnonWeinberg I agree with this point, and that's part of why I personally have wanted this to be an all-incluside site. The other wise of this, that I saw as a mod, is that being popular attracts pseudo-science which is definitely a red flag for experts

@mfloren to your point, in the case of that question I knew there was a name, because Dr. Kandel was talking about it, and he just failed to mention the name before changing topics. But you make a good point, "Is there a name for x?" questions can be a slippery slope

Josh
Jul 18, 2017 14:24
@YvetteColomb thanks, I'm glad you think that's a good example. I will note that I posted that question as somewhat of a "seed" question early on, designed to help bootstrap the site. (It was a legitimate question, but also something I crafted specifically from a source I thought might attract Google questions, I.E. Dr. Eric Kandel speaking on the Charlie Rose Brain Series)
