I made bacon ~7 hours ago
I didn't clean the pans
It's now time to make dinner
Can I cook stuff up in the bacon grease, which has been sitting out at room temperature (~80 degrees) for 7 hours, or is it "bad"?

For the love of god someone please just recommend me some recipes.

I see these sorts of things are used in lots of recipes, but I don't really understand their role

>bay leaf
>wines
>vinegars
>fish sauce

can someone give me a QRD on each, like why you'd use them

I am also an idiot and i have also not had sex in three weeks

also just want to say, you distrust the media for everything, but then turn around and assume they're accurately reporting this information? And then you go on to deride the field because of the poor quality information/interpretation you received by the media? think for a second.
the media's portrayals/interpretations of epidemiological evidence is awful, just like their interpretation of everything else. It doesn't mean that the field is useless. They pick up on stupid meme studies that concern things people care about, grossly misinterpret them to spin them as click bait, and that becomes the public's image of epidemiology.
