I would blow Dane Cook posted:I love bootleg booze stories As someone who brews: this totally works (as long as you find a grape juice that doesn't use preservatives), and is probably what I'd do if I found myself working in such a country. I'm not really much of a wine person though, probably do rice wine or mead if I didn't have a ready source of malt and hops (likely in a dry country). If any of you are looking to faff around with homebrewing, google the Joe's Ancient Orange Mead recipe, it's pretty easy and doesn't require any specialised equipment or ingredients. Don't sweat it if you're outside the US and can't get the Fleishmann's yeast, generic bread yeast is fine for this recipe. Freeze distillation is something I'd like to try, although like actual distilling, it's also illegal in most jusidictions. The Lecher is wrong though; using a still with proper temp control you will still get methanol, you are supposed to discard the heads/tails (first and last parts of the 'run') to avoid the chemical baddies. If you freeze distill like he talks about you actually have no way of purifying the wash, so will be concentrating everything. Edit: not sure about China, but in Japan homebrewing is illegal if it goes above 1% ABV. You can still buy kits and ingredients, but the scene is nowhere near as vibrant as it is in other countries (similarly, craft has been slower to catch on because there are comparatively fewer homebrewers experimenting and looking to move into commercial production).

from yospos to d&d to you, friendsGeneric Monk posted:crosspost from yospos tech bubble thread quote:This didn’t land well on some of my classmates. They felt I was not treating these matters with the seriousness that they deserved. The professor was very angry. My takeaway was that my interpersonal skills were so bad that I could easily offend people unintentionally, so I concluded that after graduation I should do something that involved as little human interaction as possible.

Blistex posted:I just said, it looks like a shot for shot remake of Expendables 2. With extra-bad CGI (including actually non-existent CGI PRC Navy ships playing a crucial role, lol) to boot. What really makes the movie is the script written by Pro-PRC Laowai and the completely unsubtlely pushed Han Man's Burden angle. The action is pretty competently put together, but yeah, the writing made it the best bad movie I've seen in years. They also cure ersatz Ebola on the way cuz why not.

Devils Affricate posted:I've always wondered, do these products actually make your skin whiter somehow? If so, what's in them that accomplishes this? It can't be good. Vox did a pretty good segment on whitening products and colorism; it's on YouTube. There is some evidence that whitening products help reduce the appearance of red marks on the skin, but I doubt there is any real benefit. Also, at the Abu Dhabi Carrefour I once saw a box of armpit skin bleach.

I did undergrad there too, and just assumed you wouldn't have actually met any normal Japanese stoners if you were a weeb/eikaiwa dude. That's gross. but yeah, checks out.

Devils Affricate posted:A large number of the clinic’s clients are also part of Thailand’s LGBTQ community, reports the South China Morning Post. I have also heard about dudes here getting fat injections in their wangs for a more fuller, vein-less pudding look to their dicks. Those laser and acid skin whitening clinics are everywhere here. There's like five of them in the same corner of a shopping center near me. If you're looking for one, you probably won't have go more than 1km in any direction to find a couple of them. I wonder what their penis policies are. I'll be in Thailand for at least the next six months. It's already been a peaceful, mild time. I am sad that their tourist visas come with some scrutiny (lol, hippies and sexpats), and also that the "good" tourist visa, the Elite visa, costs like $12k USD for 5 years. I'd really like to stay long-term, and I'll attempt a year if I can unless I get rejected by the consulate. My passport is almost out of pages and it's weird the US government now just gives new ones instead of stapling pages in. McGavin posted:Now that Bajaj's there you'd think women wouldn't need to go to a clinic to get stuff injected into their vagina. It's all so same same that it's a chore to sift through it. I look at the profile words because there might be someone that shares a hint of my interests or is different than the others, but it's been a poor time. Also, every single one no matter their age lives with their parents and seems to have a curfew. A part of Thai culture that makes getting to know someone a difficulty. Also, also, everyone works like 60 hours a week so even when they want to talk they tend to be all spaced out or have no time. I've had enough matches and chats, and so far only one woman had a personality that stood out and she could also hold a real conversation. She's one of the few that messaged first. She's weird as hell and lives down the road near a supermarket I go to. Yesterday she showed me her boss's anime figurine collection he keeps in his office, asking me if I know why all the girl figurines have visible panties and camel toes. We've been talking for two weeks but she'll be coming over tomorrow to meet me for the first time. I really wanted to meet her in the park after she finished work, but she wants to spend her day off in my apartment with AC instead of outside sweating. If she's cool then I'll probably just cash in my Thailand chips and see her once a week, because otherwise I am already burned out on Tinder and I feel like half these girls look like my sister. ladron posted:I live in thailand, and it's impossible to find lotion that does not contain "whitening creams", so my dick now looks like a piece of street chalk angel opportunity posted:holy poo poo it looks so bad

Have they just accepted the fact that sexpats are using tourist visas/visa runs to live in Thailand and decided to cash in on the wealthy ones?

Fleta Mcgurn posted:The snail cream is just made with snail slime, I think... I think? the snails are kept in cages with a seize floor that's electrified so they produce more mucus to be harvested. So yeah the more expensive and legit brands probably have snail fluids in them. It's not cruelty free as far as I understand it. I'm still not fully sold until I see some scientific studies not produced by the companies selling the products. I am glad people are getting a positive impact from using such creams!

Cantorsdust posted:XX "males" come from an error in cross over during meiosis where the X chromosome ends up with the SRY region of the Y chromosome. SRY is the part of the Y chromosome that differentiates an embryo into a male (by default, anybody without SRY starts developing into a female). It's rare but not unheard of--it's common enough that you'll learn about it in med school and I think I read they have to screen for it in Olympic athletes to make sure the XX women don't have an unfair advantage. That’s unfair, but having genes that give a person more red blood cells or more muscle isn’t.

Wang vs Wang: B.C.'s wild real estate market in a nutshell A deal sealed with thousands of dollars imported from China by tourists, a lawsuit so tangled even a judge said it made no sense, and land allegedly leased to both the brother of Canada's most notorious serial killer and a medical marijuana grow operation. And to top it all off — a piece of property that has appreciated nearly a million dollars in six years by just existing.

A result of this is that there have been a bunch of breweries started by foreigners in Japan like Brimmer, Baird, Outsider (haw haw), etc. Once at Brimmer’s bar, a bar inside a shipping crate in Omotesando, I met a French Canadian dude who used to work for Unibroue who was helping to open a brewery somewhere in Tohoku. Japan is definitely ripe for this stuff, people are just now starting to do it though.
