  Tbf the kind of cultural fusion cuisine you get when another culture successfully imports another culture’s cuisine, is super interesting to me. I’d say this stands separately from intentional fusion restaurants, this is more something that happens organically as a cuisine is adapted to the ingredients and tastes somewhere away from where it is invented.

  The classic examples are Tex-mex and British curries, but every country has a few things like this. Japanese Italian is a pretty cool experience, not least of all because now I think about it there’s some places that are straight up Japanese/Italian cultural fusion, but others are more Japanese/Italian-American, so this thing can go deeper.

  Always been a fan of trying local cuisine when I’ve travelled, but I’ve more recently been trying to add places like the above into the mix, as it’s genuinely always been interesting to me

  I was gonna say in the UK, a lot of modern slang over here comes from MLE (Multicultural London English)

  Clearly this makes up a key part of our respective shitposting R&D divisions

  The OP: datapro.net/…/usb-type-d-connector-unveiled.html

  Following the overwhelmingly positive response to 180° reversible connectors like USB Type C and Apple’s Lightning, USB Type D’s novel plus-shaped design can correctly be inserted in 4 different orientations, a mere 90 degrees apart.

  “With our reversible Type C connector, we allowed users to blindly plug in their devices with minimal frustration. But we wanted to take it a step further. Now with USB Type D, no matter how crazy your night has been, we guarantee that you’ll be able to successfully plug in your phone before passing out.”

  Remember when funny people still did April fools? I’ve not seen a good April fools hoax that doesn’t transparently reek of marketing in years

  Reminder that 99% of think tanks are just organisations that pay for studies that help the owner’s ideological goals.

  Always look at the owner of the think tank and people involved and decide if it’s just propaganda before you listen to a word of reporting that originates with them

  Pickled red onions are basically a cheat code

  Shove some cumin, sumac, chives, salt, pepper and lemon juice on some and an hour later you’re dealing with 24 carat amazingness

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Australians banned social media. Now they are worried about teenagers going outside with e-bikes⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A dude got up to 90mph on a bike just off his own steam before

  I remember all the adverts when I was a kid telling me that if I got hit by a car at 30mph there was a 90% chance I’d live (this was the happy path of the advert). This is also cars ostensibly driven by licensed people.

  E-bikes with a 25mph limiter are not a risk if we allow cars in the same space as pedestrians

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did you all know these things can be pickled???⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I know you seem to be having a bit of a radish moment

  But lemme tell you, you can pretty much pickle anything edible that’s not been particularly processed

  If you’re just living a monopickle life with gherkins, you need to step out into the universe outside your door

  Any given person’s sandwich game is directly proportional to the selection of tang they have available to them

  Baffling that a Tory would struggle understanding the paradox of tolerance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it possible that the rich are so rich that they have created inflation?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  TBF I more meant they weren’t actively trying to be malicious in many cases

  You’re entirely right that they are malicious though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it possible that the rich are so rich that they have created inflation?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes 100%

  Wealth generates income, that income can’t sit as cash or it will lose value, so they need to invest.

  When the ultra wealthy invest, it’s less important to get the best price for an asset than simply getting it. That money needs to be spent. So if there’s competition for an asset, they will spend more to get it.

  When that happens, the price of the asset goes up.

  Those assets ultimately determine the baseline cost of everything else. Can’t grow food if you’ve not got a farm. Farms being more expensive make food more expensive.

  This isn’t malicious, this is just how it has to be when you have ultra wealthy people. They must invest, they must take property away from everyone else.

  The ultra rich are actively pricing us out of living.

  The ultra rich need to go

  Oh don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t saying this was “just quake”

  I think it’s the same words to describe two different things. Less “taking advantage of weird math for optimal speed” and more “kung fu action movie with guns”.

  Ah fair play, tbh I saw that list of maneuvers and it was like I’d been warped back 20 years and started watching a hypercam skill video on YouTube with 009 Soundsystem dreamscape in the background.

  Well you’ve definitely got me intrigued anyway, I’ll probably pick it up when it’s on sale

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Finally, the FPS I keep asking for: Deep combat, classic modes, and an honest-to-god server browser⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Quake doesn’t have sprint and a lot of those kinds of maneuvers are straight out of shooters like that. Quake players also basically invented the wall-run and dive rolling was pretty common in UT99 IIRC too

  That description is literally what playing old school arena shooters is like
