  You don’t need to be related to any Spanish or Scandinavian people to have similar markers. MyHeritage marked me with 35% DNA from the British Isles, but many people in my specific region if Germany seem to have the same.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So why are Indian curries so popular in the UK? (interest in culinary perspectives).⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  We have two in my town. One is overly greasy, the other one overly salty. I suspect neither of them employs trained cooks but rather people that originally came here as tech students. I think both have mango chicken, but you can also get that in the Chinese places and in one pizza restaurant - which, despite having an Italian name, is run by Pakistani, but still has the second best pizza in town.

  I suppose there are so many people with Indian roots in GB that you can actually get good Indian food there. There’s competition and enough people who know how it’s supposed to taste like. I mean, where I live in Germany we have Indian restaurants run by Indian immigrants, but they are quite often not very good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Avocado. Is it really so untasty or I am doing something wrong?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Avocados aren’t sweet and contain a lot of fat, so yes, they kind of taste like a butter block with kind of a vegetable undertone. That’s why they are usually eaten seasoned and as a savory.

  That said, if they aren’t traditional in your country, they don’t have that much going for them. I like guacamole, but I don’t think the it justifies the price when there are so many other things to eat.

  They are trying to get rid of that too, but it seems to be difficult.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Under the most ideal circumstances, how 'clean' is drinkable tap water by the time it reaches our taps?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a bit safer to use freshly boiled water. You can contaminate distilled water if you keep it around long enough.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Under the most ideal circumstances, how 'clean' is drinkable tap water by the time it reaches our taps?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You have to drink quite a lot of destilled water or drink it regularly for this to matter. Also, Iron can’t be pulled out of your body, that’s why it can be quite dangerous to overdose on iron supplements long term.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can people irl be as mean as some people online?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, but very few and I think they might have personality disorders.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How long does it take for pregnancy to become noticeable?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That really depends a lot on body shape. You surely heard about women who repressed any thought of pregnancy and nobody else did notice either. Apart from that I’d say 20 weeks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you touch the light switch entering a room if it's already on?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No - only in the garage which recently got a motion activated light installed. It’s also the only place in the house where I always swichted the light on because it’s always dark. So I’m simply not used to not switching the light on there yet.

  I tend to accidentally lock my office door at work, or try to unlock it when I’m inside and want to go out. That’s because the printing room door needs to be locked constantly and I go there several times a day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can I eat sprouted beets?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sprouts are only really a problem with potatoes. You can eat beet leafs and sprouts, so you only need to check if they aren’t spoiled in some other way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  He wants the war to end and doesn’t care how. He wants to be seen as a peace- and dealmaker and doesn’t care about the details. He also respects Putin because he is what Trump wants to be. At the same time, however, it’s easy to sway Trump in any direction if you talk to him in person. He’ll accept your opinion as his own until one of his aides tells him otherwise.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not to get all religous but was not Jesus pissed for people making money in churches? Didn't he flip tables and everything? Then how do churches nowadays explain the collection plate?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It can be even funnier. I’m an atheist, but I go to church regularly with my wife. Some weeks ago the priest read that part of the bible - and everyone turned their head, looking at the stands in the back of the church where they were going to sell fair trade products later that day.
