Reply to comment by FowlOnTheHill in Does cooking eggs and red onions create a chemical reaction? by womp-the-womper

If you like raw onion that's fine. Half cooked, limp, soggy, greasy onion is just the worst though and I think that's what OP ended up with. Personally, what you described sounds delicious to me but I'm assuming the egg is already partially scrambled when the raw ingredients are added? kinda like an Indian frittata?

The moisture being release from the onions is steaming your egg and making it gross. Onions have a lot more sugar in them than you might think, and a ton of water, so it's always best to caramelize them before adding them to an egg dish; you've deepend the flavors in the onion itself and cooked out much of the water that ruins the egg, on top of the vastly different cooking times between an egg and an onion. Your best bet, if you're using one pan, is to cook the onions first, push them to the side of the pan so they can continue to caramelize, then cook your egg in the open space in the pan

Reply to TIL judge of the peace Roy Bean chose jurors from his best bar customers and jurors were expected to buy a drink during every court recess. by Warm-Translator6171

Roy Bean was too drunk all the time to ride a horse so he usually rode a donkey when he needed to get somewhere. He also had to act as coroner whenever someone died within his circuit. One day, a bridge being built within his area of influence collapsed on a bunch of people. A dozen people were injured or killed outright, and the foreman had the bodies laid out in a line waiting for Roy to get there and make the deaths official. So he hops on his donkey and spends all day making the 30 mile trip. When he gets to the accident site, he goes up the line and pronounces each and every one of them dead due to heavy bridge spans falling on them. The foreman goes "Uh, Judge, them last three ain't dead."
