That makes me think of Lomo Saltado. It’s a beef and veggie stir fry you can get at Peruvian restaurants and considered a Peruvian dish. It’s delicious, one of my favorites. But it was actually invented by Chinese immigrants in Peru. So if you follow those same rules, if General Tsos was made by Chinese immigrants in Taiwan, then in other countries, it would be considered a Taiwanese dish. Or if was actually made it America it would be an American dish. Or is that all wrong and I should be able to get Lomo Saltado from a Chinese restaurant?

Doesn’t matter, it’s all delicious to me.

If you really want to rustle their jimmies, remind them that tomatoes came from South America, and weren’t introduced until westward exploration.

Step 1 - Create a depression unlike we have ever seen and make people desperate for any job they can get.

Reminds me of something I read once. If you want to get out of work. Like you’re at work, and you really really don’t want to be there. You can get out with 4 words. You swallow your pride, walk into your bosses office, and proclaim “I shit my pants”

You will have the rest of the day off.

Really depends on what I am doing. Whatever I was previously doing has been been put on an indefinite pause until I can get new clothes and probably take a shower. But I have kids, so the day must go on.

“those boys done fucked up but”

Yes, this is ANAL

Relavant WKYK

Hah. I just got my first one today. I immediately chalked it up to spam, but didn’t know it was so widespread. Hilarious.

I like AI for a couple things here and there when I elect to use it. When I am forced to use it and I did not elect it, I fucking hate it.

Alcohol is definitely a big public health issue. But if you think that getting rid of it is an option, we tried that once and it didn’t go too well.

Not networked and running on some legacy-as-fuck software. Saw quite a bit of this working in hospitals. You would be surprised how many medical devices are still running Windows XP.

Sure, but paying extra for more turbo boosts in the one race that you get to play is something new. Normally if you want extra boosts you need to learn the course or the game. On that same subject, now if you come in 1st place, you don’t even get to continue. (old man voice) back in my day, when you game in 1st place you got to go onto the next race. That was the point of getting good at the game.

Speaking of enshittification, I brought my nephew to an arcade last weekend as a birthday treat. I’m not going to get into the whole “the games are just cell phone games on gigantic screens”, there are a handful of games that are still fun and worth the tokens to play. But the worst thing I didn’t expect to see was this motorcycle racing game. It was your standard sit-and-lean motorcycle game with a throttle etc. But the surprise was that after swiping the card to play, after you choose your motorcycle, you get the option to swipe again for extra boosts. There were micro transactions. In the arcade motorcycle game. I was so mad.

LMABF8 had the coldest water. I’m all for the EZH20 because I carry a bottle around with me and it’s less likely to spread germs and causes less waste, but I feel like the water coming out of them is barely chilled. I like my water to be so cold it is borderline painful when I am drinking it.

Nothing hit as hard as coming out of gym class in high school and getting some fresh gulps of ice cold water from the LMABF8. Peak refreshment.

Good lord how did I just learn about this? This is amazing it’s like Ninite on steroids.

Nope. It’s New Mexico. Right in the name.

What a fantastic story! I could feel the warm sun, and taste the fresh vegetables. It really brought a smile to my face. I remember growing up in the late 80’s and my parents had an old man neighbor with a garden. He used to give tomatoes to me and my siblings and we would sit on the back steps with a salt shaker and just shake some salt on them and eat them like they were apples. They were delicious! For years I have wondered if my memory was serving me wrong, or if tomatoes have just gotten flavorless over the years. I’m happy to hear it’s not just me.

Visions of Mana. I’m almost at the end and I have been putting off beating it because then I will be sad.

Lots off stuff like that out there. Like food products that say “Made with 100% white meat chicken”. That just means that 100% white meat chicken is one of the ingredients.

Or those stupid “99c and up” stores. That’s no dollar store. That’s just a store. 99c and up is so many things.
