Hahah, I knew a guy who did that, except we had a perfectly fine kitchen on the other end of our dorm, and a working microwave downstairs.

I was craving some honey mustard but was too lazy to make or buy some, so put some American mustard in a slice of honey ham, rolled it up and ate it like a sad, limp burrito. Then I did it three more times. It did not fill the craving.

I remember graphs from the big VIC outbreak that showed that numbers usually peaked in the middle of the week (possibly due to people getting tested after the weekend). Is there a similar trend with NSW?

Whoops, my bad. Thought it was Delta.

It also has a higher population and thus is also far, far denser.

At least the Taliban had this odd period where the US thought they were the good guys when the fought Soviet occupation. But this guy was a bully who also worshipped Hitler, and because he couldn't logically be a Catholic priest, the author just took the child rapey part of that particular evil instead.

The Kite Runner. I remember reading it years ago and rolling my eyes at how the villain was basically all of the 20th century's greatest evils rolled into one convenient package.

I timed it just right! Got my AZ scheduled for Saturday, but it looks like i'll be getting Pfizer instead.

I recall reading once about some teenagers who wanted to climb a cliff face in Malaysia that needed at least one night in a hanging tent. Because they were poor teenagers, they decided to make their own hanging tent... which promptly fell apart when they tried it. Thankfully, they were strapped to the cliff itself (which is what you're supposed to do anyway), bought a legit hanging tent the next year and finally climbed that cliff.

We have a vegan restaurant here that, while openly advertised as vegan, will still use meat terms in its menu descriptions. And it's amazing. I've had a Spanish-style 'calamari' stew there and if it wasn't in the restaurant, I would have easily mistaken it as actual calamari.

Not from Moscow but it looks like a circle line that links all the other lines. Singapore has a similar train line.

A lot of meat is washed in Chinese cooking, usually to take away the flavour of blood.

Washing then rapidly boiling meat actually pops up a lot in Chinese cooking, sometimes as a prep for stir frying.

Yeah, the most advice I give any non-conservator is proper storage or display methods. Anything beyond that is for the professionals.

Isn't Argo wildly inaccurate?

I find him incredibly judgmental, especially if he deems that his way is the only way to cook something. He's just as bad as Babish.

Anything Marvel related. I think it's a mix of burnout and Marvel fans being generally insufferable.

I like 99PI well enough but hate that 99% (ha!) of the show seems to be around Bay Area things. Not that any of that isn't interesting or anything, but I literally live on the other side of the world from the Bay Area.

There's also a large convenience store brand in Singapore called Cheers, with pretty much the same colour scheme.
