For this specifically, "Traitorous Critic Fallacy". More broadly, an Ad Hominem argument.

I believe this is actually a myth, post-hoc reasoning to explain away a shitty design
My GTI had triple-square bolts for the seats. The bolts were maybe 1/2" diameter, and I was able to comfortably get a lot of torque on them. Weird design though, and can't imagine it holding up on smaller, softer screws
I was mostly joking, but I did get some oily/greasy dust in my mouth, and it tasted kind of burnt and spicy, which is why I came up with "steak seasoning"
But yes, I do actually inadvertently get limestone in my mouth often, but unfortunately (or fortunately) it really doesn't taste like anything. Maybe I will have to sample a larger size.
I might ask our geologist if she "taste tests" the rocks, according to what another commenter said...
I work in limestone quarries every day. The dust and grit gets everywhere, and almost every day I will get some in my mouth. Sometimes pieces that are about the size of a skittle somehow make it into my mouth (no. They do not taste like lime Skittles)
The taste isn't the problem, it's the gritty texture that makes it feel like you're grinding away at your teeth. The taste is similar to steak seasoning. I keep some unflavored gum with me and chew it when I get some in my mouth. This allows me to enjoy the salty/savory flavor while getting past the horrible texture. If only they made steak-flavored chewing gum.
Lost/reduced wages from time off work, and health insurance doesn't cover everything.
In my experience, the Mr. Clean ones hold up much better. Generic melamine sponges tear too easily.
But maybe I'm just getting the wrong generic ones. I've tried two or three different generic brands and they all sucked
I've bought pretty expensive equipment, tube amplifier, many fancy headphones, optical DACs. A library full of FLAC files. I even purchased a $500 portable DAP. I've never been able to reliably tell a difference between FLAC and 320k MP3 files. At this point, it really doesn't concern me anymore either, but I at least like to see my fancy tube amp light up.
I will say, though, $300 seems to be the sweet-spot for headphones for me.
Of course, you have freedom of choice. You can choose between eating a shit sandwich or a tube of tile grout compound.
Hope like hell that my 2500w inverter generator can start my HVAC blower so I can run the gas heat
