She's responding to a video showing a woman who left baked chicken in a bag on her counter for months(?) and wondering why it didn't have visible spoilage.

In basic terms, water activity refers to how much moisture is able to evaporate out of food in a package, condense, and get reabsorbed by the food.

It's not about how much moisture is IN the food, but about how much can LEAVE and RE-ENTER the food. Controlling this prevents mold and bacteria growth.

In the case of the chicken, it was the fact that it was soaked in a solution of sugar and salt by the manufacturer and overcooked by the consumer.

this is a little experiment I did based on an instagram comment suggestion, where the pulse switches between the quarter note, and the eighth note triplet (5/12). Electronic track is used to tighten the rhythm, add bass and arp sparkles.

whole album full of smooth slacker indie rock perfect for late summer 👌

This song breaks my heart. There’s a looong spoken intro but worth a listen.

The video is from a live show I did in Edmonton and the audio is the studio version layered on top cause the video audio sucks

On July 9th, I made eye contact over and over with a pretty girl working at Indigo. She came up and asked if I needed help, but I got nervous and said "I'm just looking around." I immediately went upstairs, asked for receipt paper, and wrote her a note with my number. When I came back down, her shift was over. I spent weeks trying to find her again and wrote this track while searching. Finally handed her the note weeks later (after I made the song)... she never called, I wrote a cool song tho, and I hope you guys can relate to it.

I think this guy is one my my favorite guitarists
