What, and lose an opportunity to funnel tax money to private interests?

Fuck no I’m not, I’m just continuing to use it in ways I want rather than that make money for billionaires.

Washing the rice reduces the starchiness which makes it less sticky.

A lot of rice sold (most?) is “enriched” so the vitamins and minerals are added back. But the fiber is gone and rinsing the rice washes away the nutrient powder.

That doesn’t sound like a very good sandwich.

Nestle is Swiss. The Doritos are called that because Euro countries call our “ranch” dressing “American” dressing. Turkiye is on the Eurasian border with parts in both continents. I can’t easily find where the pizza was first marketed but that’s not even relevant to the point: the rest of the world is using our country’s name as an adjective for food so fuck you we’re doing it too.

Don’t kink shame, let them have piss.

Which is accurate, but Philip Chiang (cofounder) is a first-generation immigrant whose mother helped bring other-than-Cantonese Chinese cuisine to American restaurants. It’s not like a bunch of white dudes were sitting down to appropriate a foreign food culture.

Pizza Americana. Torta Americana. Amerikan Salatasi. Cool American Doritos.

I’m really trying to think of a single upside to putting it in space. Unfiltered solar power, does that matter at all? Not that you would ever break even on the cost.

A brief search confirms it in the US, Ireland, and Greece so while I’m not confident in saying it’s for sure universal it seems likely that areas with a TNR program for feral cats probably do it.

Maybe? I don’t see any clipped ears.

Publicly traded companies are always going to turn to shit, the “Spotify model” is just appeasing shareholders with infinite growth.

The patients have an excuse.

Those damned blue-collar tweekers, they’re runnin this here town.

Solar power is not a feasible solution in all parts of the world, though, and large-scale storage is still very much an issue.

Alright, well, I don’t believe in ghost stories.

Yep. I don’t want to but there’s nothing particularly distressing about the idea. I’ve never felt “existential angst” or anything like that.

I prefer “naughties”

The comics were pretty good too.
