While I’ve never had the privilege of doing so in-country, it’s not super hard to make and would absolutely pair with Japanese beer*: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katsudon
- - Also something the Japanese refined from the Germans.

Sure it does, but the Japanese perfected it.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon goes to therapy⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
To be fair, black-hole-ing a traumatic memory absolutely happens to people. That said, that reaction is absolutely not how to go about resurfacing that kind of thing. If anything it needs to be handled with way more care than self-reported trauma.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How far do you wear your daily shoes out before bothering to replace them?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
Where it gets really crazy is where you have a few pairs that you rotate through for “daily wear”. A whole decade can slip by before you go “how long have I had these?”

I don’t care a whole lot about fashion so “until they stop working correctly” is about the best answer I can give.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What a great idea⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
It’s really the worst. For the uninitiated, the platen where your bags go is actually a scale. The self-check-kiosk software waits for this bagging scale to quit moving (see: de-bouncing) before weighing and approving the scan and purchase of a single item. This is why, occasionally, if you’re too fast or too slow, the kiosk gets angry and makes you flag down an attendant.

That’s not a problem for 10 items or less, but for a whole cart? All that waiting around adds up. Because of all that, it’s literally impossible to achieve the same or better speed than an employee.

Then we need to call it what it is: This exchange is an HR screen.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What a great idea⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
That’s a good call. I kinda/sorta figured that the fire department would see it sooner or later, but that’s clearly not the case.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What a great idea⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
It might be a matter of just being under a rock for the last 10-20 years. Retail PoS systems have changed quite a bit in that time, but how you interface with gas pumps and dining, hasn’t changed at all.

Also: a lot of folks navigate digital systems by rote memorization and don’t read or think all that much. If you throw a new interface in front of them, just sit back and watch the bewilderment. Gotta give people like that time to learn it all.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What a great idea⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Sadly, we still do. But it’s really more a matter of vendor preference these days, since some places (usually small/personal operations) don’t do digital payments. That and nobody carries large amounts of cash around, so checks are the only alternative.

That said, anyone that hasn’t moved on to prefer a bank card or credit-card is behind the times, or doesn’t have a bank account. Still, it’s rare to see these days, especially at the grocery store.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What a great idea⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
This is the core problem, right here. At a minimum, people need training to learn what information to ignore so you can navigate the whole thing. Even if you know the store’s layout, you still need to have the will to ignore advertising and disregard extraneous information. Being a fast reader that can do fast mental math, also helps tremendously.

Traffic flow is another problem. Wegmans is the chief offender here, IMO, by putting impulse items in massive crates that crowd the store entrance+exit combo. It amazes me that it’s not a fire hazard, because it makes entering the store a nightmare. But most grocery stores have awful choke points in produce, dairy, meat, and other high-traffic areas. And of course those are the stores that have no small carts or hand-baskets, obligating customers to gum up the works with big metal baskets that are 70% empty.

A better idea is a store that doesn’t flood your eye sockets with information you don’t absolutely need. Get rid of the special displays, end-cap bullshit, and vendor promotional stuff. Then, normalize all the price tags and include unit cost per lb/oz/L/whatever to make bargain hunting a snap. Then, measure the fucking carts and make sure that two can get by everywhere in the store. Finally, pick a store layout and stick to it. </rant>

I want to say that Aldi is already doing all of the right things, but I could be wrong.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Definitely the safest source for advice⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
In my greater friend-group, we call them “shamans”, and rotate responsibilities when people go on trips. Like a designated driver or lifeguard, it’s a position of elevated and celebrated importance, even though the traveler may not ever leave their couch.

and most importantly be human

Now that I think about it, it’s key to be the most human possible. People do irritating and annoying stuff when they toss sobriety out the window, and sometimes it takes a lot of compassion and empathy to manage.

Eh, I give it a 4/10 right now. There’s still some cool stuff to do and plenty of great people around, but generally, can’t recommend it if you don’t have to.

I know a handful of oddball pharma trivia facts, but that’s a new one on me. It’s just wild that a drug could even do that.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Alchemy is so hot right now.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
It also helps that we’re talking about rather dense nuclei too. So it’s not just a neutron absorbing blanket, but a rather high-performing one at that. Which you need to convert fusion outputs to heat and power anyway. And gold is soluble in mercury anyway, so extraction is already a known (albeit incredibly dangerous) process. Win-win.

yielding several tonnes of gold per plant-year

Mother of god that’s a lot to magic-up outta nowhere. At first I thought this would disrupt the market, but it looks like yearly global gold production is around 3000 tons a year. So it would take a lot of reactors to impact the gold market, so… yeah. Reactors could start paying for themselves.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Github Banned a Ton of Adult Game Developers and Won’t Explain Why⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
True, but the article is about projects getting de-platformed, so all that goes away under those circumstances. There’s value tied up in all that data, but the codebase itself might be far harder to replace securely if the public repo just vanishes. Better to have at least an alternate offsite backup - on another service even - if all you do is maintain a project-owner-controlled clone.

Plus, I know it’s a small gesture, but some folks might need that tiny push to migrate if they’re already fence-sitting about leaving.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Github Banned a Ton of Adult Game Developers and Won’t Explain Why⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
For anyone that needs to know: it’s criminally easy to set up git for multiple remotes, making a migration from GitHub a lot easier.

Remember that origin is just the default, and you can have any number configured you want.
- View all remotes: git remote -v
- Add new remote: git remote add $name $url
- Push to another remote: git push $remotename $branchname
- Pull from a specific remote: git pull $remotename/$branchname (note the slash)
- Fetch from all remotes: git fetch --all
The first two are just one-time setup, and the rest just get bolted onto your existing workflow. At some point, you’ll want to use git remote move names around, possibly even making origin something other than GitHub. Cheers.

A garlic sauce containment breech is nothing to sneeze at. Entire living rooms have been rendered uninhabitable by such events.

I think that’s closer to 500-750ml. I wonder what the 250ml amount was intended for? Are people dunking their crab rangoons in this stuff?

Yeah, that’s pretty awful. The pandemic taught us all that enough people are gross like that.

At this point, I just assume that every airport is packed to the gills with coronavirus. I mask up, avoid eating with my hands, try not to eat much at all, and wash thoroughly. That said, I ate at a sit-down restaruant at O’hare this summer and immediately caught it anyway; my flight was delayed and i was ravenous.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Some people prefer corn for some ungodly reason ⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
No kidding. Every time I fly I wind up on the same flight with a bunch of people that hit up an all-you-can-eat chili buffet the night before. They proudly let the entire cabin know this the very instant we hit cruising altitude.

The only upside here is that not even first-class is safe. I really feel bad for the flight attendants.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
For me, it was always where the teacher had to add their own flair and/or questions on top of the textbook ones. They were always the most ambiguous to answer, and cost everyone points. Of course, in American public school, we’re not taught to challenge our elders and call bullshit when we see it. So everyone takes the -5% on the chin, except that one kid that accidentally got that one right.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Some people prefer corn for some ungodly reason ⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
It’s worth mentioning that the flatogenic index of that kind of eating is off the chart. If anyone reading this has a diet like that please, for the love of everything good in this world, get a job that is outdoors.

What really breaks my brain is that the pigment responsible for this purple hue are called anthocyanins. It literally has the root-word for blue in the name, even though that’s not the only color it can make.
