one minor thing: the matzoh is not "there was not time for the bread to rise because they were in too much of a rush" they were told a week in advance that they were leaving, and that they would be eating unleavened bread when they left. (I wonder, was it perhaps a matter of it being more portable? given that it is basically a cracker (or as my tastebuds often compare it too when I am in a grumpy mood during passover, stale cardboard), it is definitely more stable and lasts a lot longer than any other bread I can think of (I don't think matzoh ever goes stale... and if it did, I don't think I would notice the difference...). I suppose that would make it a better sort of bread to be taking with you when packing up and leaving on foot with chariots in pursuit... never mind for having available once you have moved into the sinai desert and gotten lost or something (it took them 40 years to make a journey that probably could have been made in 3 days...): when you don't really have any means of protecting your bread from the elements, it is probably helpful to have a sort of bread that doesn't need to be protected as much...

in the "throwing snark at sponsorship spots" category of comments: a couple summers ago I started sleeping on the floor, and I can't go back to sleeping in a bed. my shoulders and neck feel less likely to ache, and I sleep a lot better than I ever did in a bed.

an additional reason why it is false to claim that america is "monolingual": at least as far as I'm aware, (or at least in my home state of washington), most universities require you to have taken some foreign language classes before they will accept you, whether this be two years of high school foreign language, or two quarters of college foreign language. additionally, many programs want you to take at least 3 quarters of foreign language (such as the math program I plan to transfer into when I transfer to a 4-year university to get my bachelors and such... seeing as I plan to teach at a community college level, going to need to go at least up to a masters degree)

I have a weird habit of picking arguments with sponsorship spots for physical products... so forgive my indulgence here: i have found a much better way to minimize food waste: any leftover perishable ingredients (by which I mean fruits and vegetables) get pickled. any leftovers are food for the week. (I am vegetarian, so I don't need to worry about meat). haven't had to throw out any food since I started pickling my extra stuff. plus it just tastes good having things like pickled fruits on rice, or pickled mushrooms, jalapenos, onions, and tomatoes on toast with cheese.

a critical difference between water at 205-210 and water at 212 is that the water at 212 is actually boiling. it takes an extra bit of energy to go from hot to boiling, after all.
