- Comment on Why Should I... 29 minutes ago:
That’s one thing that’s hard to explain to Europeans - the US has good food, some of the best in the world.
It’s just not the usual fare, and you will pay so much for it.
There’s great artisan bakeries - but here in Barcelona, every bakery has good fresh bread without additives for a euro or two right by your house. In the US, same things would take a specific car trip and cost much more.

or Mexican either.
Uh ‘Mexican’ isn’t indigenous either . . . it results from the fusion of Native American, Spanish, and French cuisines, among others.
And there isn’t a single Mexican cuisine either, there’s multiple.

Almost all non-artisan store bought bread in the US uses sugar in some degree to feed the yeast.

it’s actually not bad when fresh and covered in cream sauce
I had canned haggis growing up, and that was probably the foulest thing I’ve ever eaten
- Comment on Why Should I... 16 hours ago:
The bread in Europe isn’t drowning in sugar like American bread though
- Comment on Why Should I... 16 hours ago:
Haiti basically brought France more money than all of Canada, because it produced sugar.
- Comment on Why Should I... 16 hours ago:
There’s more than one American cuisine. Southern, Northern Mexican (Cal-Mex, Tex-Mex, etc), New York (basically fusion of Jewish and Irish in a few things), American Chinese, etc.
American fast food is common, but not the whole thing.

They’re solving for X, which is slang for MDMA and also what porn is rated. Obviously they’re indoctrinating kids into child rape cults.

Seriously, this is slander to a great man. Camacho not only seeks out the most qualified person he can find, he willingly steps aside to let him lead when he’s proved right.

Yeah, when I was a .NET dev I used to do that (this was long before .NET on Linux).
- Comment on Why does China have so many multi billionaires if they are aiming to be a communist country? 4 weeks ago:
Centrists read a history book before trying to use historical terms challenge: impossible
As an old opponent of the Iraq War, I remember when “progressive” was reanimated to differ from the Democratic loyalist idiots like Clinton and Biden. And now you centrists have wrapped yourself in it, because you know your agenda has no value.
- Comment on Centrists have such a Hard Choice. 4 weeks ago:
even before then . . . the US has one of the bloodiest labor histories in the world. So to hide that, even in the 19th century US capitalists started claiming that socialism and unions were unamerican, and the work of subversive radicals, especially Germans and Jews.

also, when voters don’t vote for the candidates we force on them, it’s their fault!

That requires some form of acid.
It’s most likely that stomachs were used to transport milk, and gave rennet from that source.
