  That’s no longer accurate, as there are plenty of authentic Chinese restaurants in areas with Chinese communities that aren’t just trying to get western locals to visit. The dim sum place I’ve been to didn’t even have much English on their menu and it really helped to have some colleagues present who knew Chinese (both the language and the food).

  Easily one of the best meals I’ve ever had, and I’m not usually a fan of the western chinese style.

  That’s just one approach to addiction. Personally, I think it assumes people are weak with no self-control, which seems to be exactly the argument you’re making.

  The emphasis on abstinence and any exposure at all being a failure might even make binging more likely if someone gives in just a little, as their counter is now reset, so might as well take advantage.

  And the obsession/fascination with the addiction target continues or even gets ramped up.

  I like the moderation approach a lot better. I don’t binge drink every weekend anymore, but if I do feel like having a drink every now and then, I just do instead of spiraling because I need to treat it like some sort of personal failure.

  Just make sure you have permission from the leg’s owner first or things can get complicated legally.

  One difference that I’m aware of is we were using bone needles at that point to make more advanced clothing, which would have helped in an ice age.

  Yeah, it’s all about a) whether microbes can get to it, b) whether microbes can survive on it, and c) whether microbes can thrive on it. If the answer to any of those is no, then it won’t decompose.

  If it just relies on a, then opening it starts its countdown.

  If it just relies on b, then it won’t rot but the preservatives might be an issue for us, too. Though it could rot eventually if circumstances change (like it gets soaked with clean water or if the preservatives break down over time).

  If it just relies on c, then it might just be waiting for some moisture for an existing colony to take off, but it’ll just sit until then.

  Eggs are a and maybe a bit of b mixed in. You don’t even need to refridgerate eggs if they weren’t washed like they do for commercially available ones (at least in north america, dunno about elsewhere). Not that unwashed eggs are necessarily better, as they can have bacteria on the outside of the shell from things like chicken shit.

  Once I understood the role moisture plays, I stopped using a lid on my garbage so that it would dry out and stink less. It works unless I’m thowing out a bunch of fish guts or something that stores/traps moisture well, and even then, the stink isn’t as bad.

  Gambling, pretty much. They go all in on a bet that it will explode and make tons of money, take out loans based on that expectation, setting themselves in a position where either it is a major success or it is an utter failure, no in between.

  The gaming market is so saturated these days that it’s kinda baffling this approach is still being taken. Like I hadn’t even heard of this game before this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just one more square bro⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, there’s a lot of unused space there. Or just look at the gap in the middle of that row of 4. A slightly smaller square could have fit a 5x5, even.

  It’s a novelty, not an optimization.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨McDonald’s CEO’s awkward taste test sparks mocking online: ‘His aura screams kale salad’⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a lot of food that won’t rot if left out to dry.

  Not that McDonald’s is any good, just that that particular experiment was flawed because there was no control showing that other food left out in similar circumstances would have decomposed more (and even then, decent burger patties make McDonald’s’ look like jokes; “thick and juicy” is more likely to decompose than thin and whatever you’d call the moisture level in a McDonald’s burger).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Forbidden Fruit⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I bet it at least ended that way.

  They died out during the last ice age when one of the big differences from previous ones they survived was the presence of homo sapiens.

  I’m guessing it was from a combination of lack of space, raids, and integration (willing or not).

  We (who carry it) have a small amount of Neanderthal DNA, but it’s not the same DNA for all of us, it’s pretty diverse, so cross breeding events between us weren’t limited to just a few times.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Hole⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Similarly, snow piles can be dangerous. Like the kind made by machines clearing parking lots that kids love to play on. Depending on how packed it is, there could be gaps a kid could fall in and get stuck, plus kids scream when they are having fun, so many adults might just filter out the sound of child screaming.

  The ones at schools might be specifically made with kids playing on them in mind, but I doubt that’s the case for ones in random parking lots, though maybe I’m just underestimating typical snow plough training.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stubborn, maybe, but if it ain't broke⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Because they were able to survive without doing it.

  Though iirc some birds of prey do the sky version of this. Or maybe the cliff version.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Game over⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Try a thai curry, seafood if you like it, or pork or veggie. So flavorful.

  Other suggestions: pho, French onion soup, bouillabaise.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Game over⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Or warn people if you forget. “If you find a leaf, don’t eat it. It’s for flavour, but not pleasant to eat on its own.” Texture isn’t great either iirc (but I could be wrong, as I was a kid the last time I tried eating one).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Game over⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Just smell it (not just bay leaves but whatever). If it has a smell, that aroma can be infused into cooking, though you’ll want to make sure it’s edible before just throwing it into dishes.

  And you might need to sauté them for a bit (also called tempering) to infuse that aroma into oil, since it’s not all water soluable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Administrative task management⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Must be 1948, which makes sense because that was before restarting the computer was invented, so if it crashed the only option was to put it out of its misery and get a new one. They had them in vending machines for $3.50.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Simple analogy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Anyone wanna take the bet that this guy secretly hopes it does, using himself as one example and that it means another common friend of an openly gay friend that OP is crushing on is also secretly in the closet?

  It just feels like there’s some layers of denial involved in this question for them to even wonder it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is spreading.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve written a microkernel for an embedded device before and enjoy that kind of thing. I haven’t had to use any of my kernel experience in the year or so I’ve been on linux.

  My linux install (Fedora) took a while because I was reading up on a bunch of the options instead of just taking the defaults. Ended up mostly just using the defaults and the ones I did change, I kinda regret because the snapshots that I wanted to save disk space by avoiding would probably come in handy if I break something and don’t know how to fix it.

  While I agree with your conclusion, stick your hands under the water palms up and see which way your thumbs point.

  Unless the picture depicts someone washing their hands and dick in a sink, though in that case it’s the arms that are wrong.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon observes a coworker⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If she asked if she was annoying, she knew on some level.

  When I was younger, I used to get so annoyed at hinting disinterest rather than outright stating it, but I eventually realized that if someone is interested and doesn’t have barriers to getting involved, they won’t be coy about it. If they are busy but otherwise interested in a date when asked, they’ll usually say more than “I have plans that day”, like “but I’m free on x day” or “maybe another time?” or “I’d love to go on a date with you but can’t that specific time”.

  If they are evasive at all about it, they are either not interested in general and are just trying to be polite (NOT really for your sake, so don’t start about how you’d rather they be clear, it’s to protect themselves from the pieces of shit that get aggressive when they realize they don’t have a chance), or they have other shit going on that complicates any interest (like it’s hard for them to schedule a date ahead of time because they are already in a relationship and need a good excuse to get away for a date).

  It’s not just political clout. Attempting to politically force veganism on the world would result in a war, not just votes against it.

  On the other hand, I suspect I’m on the spectrum but can’t relate to this at all. I love a variety of food and would get bored to death if I had to eat the same thing all the time.

  I also like new and unexpected textures in foods (unless I’m already familiar with it and know it isn’t supposed to have that texture). That shit’s delightful.

  But maybe it’s just the ADD overpowering anything else in the constant search for new sources of easy dopamine (while also overriding any urgency towards actually context shifting to eating or cooking mode).
