If you look, you can see that the cream sections are also blended, its just much subtler than the green blended parts.

I guess? The alternatives to capsaicin (mustard, garlic, horseradish, etc) are all pretty overwhelming flavors, so if you want things even moderately pungent they’re the only thing you’re going to be tasting in a dish. I personally loathe the taste of most hot peppers (but love spicy food) so the trend of "spicy everything" is getting pretty tiresome.

That the name of their unofficial national dish is in Persian/Hindi also suggets something, but I’m sure I don’t know what…
- Comment on Common British L 4 days ago:
Americans are borderline obsessed with hotsauces and spicy food, though. IME, the pushback about english mustard is usually the same as with vegemite - its too easy to use way too much, and thus obliterate the flavours of the rest of the dish. (Plus it doesn’t pair super well with a lot of regional menus.)

Most american stereotypes I understand or even represent (fat white guy with too many guns here) but I’ve never understood the “american food is bland” thing - I can’t think of a region of the US known for bad food. Why the hell do you think we’re all so fat, if not because we have so much good food to tempt us into excess?

Deep Fried Beer is a pretty good one, too. Not very good, though…

Obviously most of the true Khrushchevkas are pretty old, but they were solidly constructed. Not huge, but the layout is pretty reasonable (square plan with living room / kitchen / bath / bed), you can look floor plans up online to get a better idea. The major points where they win over the modern hell that is a 5-over-1 are sound isolation (yeah famously they had no sound proofing, but it’s still a great deal better than what you find in any US stick n’ brick), access (you could pretty easily move a couch up the stairwell), fixtures (this one is both my own subjective opinion and not uniform across all designs, but the ones I have seen were quite nice - decently modern gas appliances (water heater and stove) and branch control radiators (I think this is the wrong term, apologies, I am very tired) as well as in-ceiling lighting fixtures instead of switched outlets - none of the apartments around [where I live in the US] have lighting fixtures outside of the kitchenette and bathroom), and just space (They were, despite being tiny, quite a bit bigger than the rooms I live in now)

Having seen the interiors, Khrushchevkas are way nicer than any 5-over-1 I’ve been in in the US. By a comical degree, really.

It’s a shitposting community, I’m sincerely not sure what your point is.

Why?

Okay but… are we gonna make fun of them for this? No, seriously, if they’re happy and nobody’s being hurt, what does it matter to any of us what they’re doing?

We don’t put it in the tourism brochures, but it turns out guns are really expensive and the fash seems to have all the money at the moment.

Iirc the lore gets a bit weird about this, but essentially their nutrient requirements are so high that unless they’re eating an entire butchered hog for every meal, they’re basically starving to death. Slowly, yes, but it takes a lot to maintain the astartes’ physiology. Basically tho if things are so bad even the astartes supply line is cut off, you’ve got bigger problems than food to worry about.

They’re talking about a treaty designed to prevent the result of the exact situation you’re asking about. Extrapolating a step gives you at least one answer to your question.

- Comment on Pope 3 weeks ago:
It wasn’t the trip itself thats particularly viewed as problematic, it was the atrociously patronizing marketing surrounding it and that Katy Perry being just a generally vile person. Nobody is begrudging Amanda Nguyen or Aisha Bowe being along on this trip, they’ve dedicated their lives to the celebration of science and supporting the work of legitimate astronauts.

Edge case here: my hands are constantly dirty wirh things I don’t want to get on my phone (relevant hobbies include machining, gardening and calligraphy). A smart watch means I can check to see if a message is important (ex: kids/partner attempting to get ahold of me) and I can answer calls just using my nose/tongue + TTS. I never understood why they were such a mainstream accessory, but they are very convenient in some circumstances.

iirc this was just an engine that could run on most combustible hydrocarbons, a small gas turbine I think, and the press really stretched a badlt worded explanation of how it worked.

It is also – and don’t let anyone fool you here – absolute codswallop. The video is pure CGI, and even as a concept, this is as blue-sky as they come.
They evidently have a demo model that can “stand and pose” so that’s neat I guess, but sadly it is not real beyond that.

Also, ya’ll, movie theaters have cameras in the theater. Usually they’re discrete but maybe make choices with this in mind…

Short answer: It’s a turn of phrase the Incel movement popularized as a dehumanizing dogwhistle.
Long answer: In current American English, “Female” and “Females” are highly formal terms and really are only commonly used in situations like law and clinical literature (this is true of “male” and “males” as well, though there’s much less cultural baggage associated with those terms). People who use them in casual conversation instead of the much more common “Women” (or the diminutive, “Girls”) tend to be the kind of person that uses formal language to emphasize their own superiority over the common masses. Almost invariably this takes the form of explanations about why nobody wants to have sex with them, and it all goes downhill from there.
