  • Use my location is wrong. Same problem when at my home when using my phone’s hotspot, so it’s not a GeoIP location problem. I believe it’s a BSSID database issue. My ISP is starlink and they publish a .csv with the location information for my IP address. If my location were based off of my IP it would show a different address then what is being located.









  • Bacteria doesn’t care about culture. The guidelines are pretty simple: bacteria generally grows on food within a temp range.

    It’s not like parts of US has more food-affecting bacteria than others.

    Other nonsense in this thread: “if it smells ok it’s ok to eat” some bacteria can’t be detected by scent.

    Rice, a common food outside of the US, has a particularly bad bacteria that can survive being cooked and should not be left out or even reheated more than once for example.


  • The ignorance in here of how food can go bad is impressive. Refrigerate within one hour. You don’t need to let it cool down before putting it into the refrigerator.

    Bacteria can multiply rapidly if left at room temperature or in the “Danger Zone” between 40°F and 140°F. Never leave perishable food out for more than 2 hours (or 1 hour if exposed to temperatures above 90°F).

    Refrigerate perishable food (meat, seafood, dairy, cut fruit, some vegetables, and cooked leftovers) within 2 hours. If the food is exposed to temperatures above 90°F, like a hot car or picnic, refrigerate it within 1 hour.

    Package warm or hot food into several clean, shallow containers and then refrigerate. It is okay to put small portions of hot food in the refrigerator since they will chill faster.
