It's going down to sub zero at night with 80 mph winds several times a week. I am very grateful for the means to keep my family warm in such weather, including, weirdly, an old GameCube I pieced back together with eBay parts!

Congrats froggy fam! I keep watching that frog video and trying to decide if the sound effect of the little froggo is dubbed in. When he pops out it sounds like a wet sci fi door opening.

I'm going to get my burg ingredients today for the Burger Buds thread and I'm going to start the process. It's involved and super worth it.

hey, nobnob! did u pick up any cool hobbies, pets, or lives of crime along the way? |
# ? Jan 7, 2019 16:57 |

As a matter of fact, I did! I not only moved to a whole different city to do whole different new things, met a lot of new nice people that could count as hobbies, I also started doing sports again and even stuck to it as well as watching every movie that runs in cinema these days when I have the time to do so. In terms of pets I thought I'd do it the chill way and got myself the most chill pets imaginable, being a colony of ants. |

Speaking of ants, I just looked up the origin of "thought of [x] and died" and apparently it was a horse thinking about ants. Ruddha posted:Babies grow up and that's okay, it's like, sometimes a great meal is worth a lot of prep, for example. Horses only get more likely to die from a stupid reason as they get older. Oh poor ol' Freckles, thought of ants and died |

blaise rascal posted:I can’t decide if I want to make quinoa burgers for that thread. On the one hand, quinoa is great, but on the other hand, maybe it’s evil? Like maybe it’s starving Peruvians or something? Did someone ask about South America? Well, let me tell you one thing I know about South America, as a person that lives in a city in South America and has never even seen Peru. People going hungry isn't a problem in South America. Here in Chile, we had the opposite problem, and they had to pass a law to put warning stickers on Oreos and Mayonaisse. Also, cartoon characters on food are illegal, so kids don't fall under the spell of the Trix Rabbit. Ever seen a Trix Box without the rabbit? Its kind of weird. So what I am saying is, you should eat some Trix for dinner, because it is keeping them out of the hands of Chliean children who are at risk for obesity.

Another South American thing! These frogs are common Chiloé, a place where I have been, where the potato was invented, and also a place that is full of all sorts of strange magic, like El Trauco, the demon succubus that no woman can resist, and El Caleuche, the ghost ship full of wizards.

alnilam I know you are eager to name your newborn but you gotta wait until byob convenes and gives its name recommendations. now it’s true that byob is slow with its projects, if it ever finishes them at all, so you may need to refer to your baby with a grunt and a head toss for a while. but i am certain the rewards will be worth the wait. congratulations in any case!

blaise rascal posted:Sorry, I misspoke about the issue. The way I understand it is that foreigners buying up all the quinoa has driven up the price so the Peruvians can’t easily afford it (but they can still afford Oreos). So they’re not starving - if anything the farmers are making a lot more money than they used to - but it might be contributing to an unhealthy diet. Also I am not sure about how similar Peru’s situation is to Chile’s. I read about the quinoa thing back when that was a hot topic, and more recently I read another article saying that while the quinoa market was briefly weird, there was only ever that one article about it that everyone talked about, and nobody ever followed up they just kept talking about a ten year old article, and apparently that was only a short lived shortage and they've all been eating quinoa down there just fine for years now. Idk for sure though because that, too, was just one article. Brazil and Chile both own, I'd love to travel to more places down in that continent.

Idk for sure though because that, too, was just one article. I hope I am not D&Ding in BYOB, so I will give the kind of fun version of this: I think that a lot of people in the US still have versions of Latin America that are stuck 30 or more years ago. In part, because a lot of what has happened here has happened since 2000, and the US has mostly been paying attention to the Middle East and East Asia. Anyway, so like...I can buy mayonnaise in a vending machine in a subway station. That is my South American life. All those quaint little neighborhood panaderias in the barrios? They also sell Goku figurines. This is a real thing I saw yesterday, a Panaderia with a wall full of Dragonball Z merchandise. Like its a complicated and not perfect place, but it is kind of hard for me to explain to people in the US that my life in South America isn't about romantic, mystical llama herders, or about grim ghettos with barefoot children and gang wars. It is about subway station vending machines where I can buy mayonnaise. I have not actually purchased mayonnaise from one of these vending machines. Should I?

but yeah it's also rude to think s america is 100% llama herders and favela wars when it's a lot more varied than that. just like it's rude to think that China is nothing but rice paddies or beijing. |
