Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

The thing to always consider is the probability of the risk.
You're technically not supposed to reheat rice because the toxins produced by bacteria that feed on rice aren't destroyed by the temperatures you achieve though reheating.
But the risk is really quite low, to the extent that someone could reheat rice frequently throughout their life and never get sick.
This is true for a lot of food safety issues. Or really safety issues in general. For an individual the risk is pretty low, but for a place like a restaurant it's much higher due to volume.
I also have doubts that simply rinsing produce with water is a truly effective method of removing bacteria. If you think about it, would you consider only rinsing off your hands with water after taking a shit be sufficient?
In all of the restaurants I've worked in we had to use a specific washing solution for cleaning produce.
