Almost more horrific than eating the plastic, this means they weren't seasoning the meat.

But it wouldn't stick, right? Like they'd crack salt and pepper onto plastic wrap and it'd so fall off, wouldn't it?

For the good of my sanity I think I need to see a film of you cooking a steak, just normally, like you have for 30 years.

I do need some pictures at least to understand the depths of your multi-decade failure I've gotten stackks of hamburgers with a little plastic disc between them, but it's really really obvious

OK, at the risk of outing myself as an anime watcher, there's something neat I did learn just the other day. So there's this series, My Hero Academia, and it's pretty much your basic fight anime and this one's particular gimmick is that it's literally superheroes in a world where like 80% of the world has some kind of mutant superpower. And the heros have this motto that gets used every now and again, "Plus Ultra", which is invoked whenever they do the anime thing of reaching their limits and going past it. I assumed it was just that thing where an anime randomly throws in some English words to sound cool and didn't think much of it. Except as it turns out, "plus ultra" is actually a real Latin phrase. And if you're from Spain you've probably already correctly pegged me as a huge dumbass because it's your national motto, meaning "Further beyond". From what I understand Charles V made it his personal motto as a corruption of the original phrase which translated to something like "No land further beyond". Anyway, I just always find it interesting when something I thought was just a dumb made-up thing turns out to have an actual basis in history.

There's also the phrase ne plus ultra, meaning the epitome, the zenith, the acme, the ultimate, perfection, etc.

i knew the latin ov- means "egg", i knew -al suffixes mean "having the character of, pertaining to". but somehow, it didn't hit me until today that the word oval means "like an egg".

I guess this isn't really that blindingly obvious a thing to miss, but I never realised by just how big of a margin New York is the most populous city in the US. Like, it's over double the population of the second biggest, LA. I guess, living in a small country, my brain just kinda lumps all cities past a certain size point into the same "really big city" category.

Wow. Im from Texas and have spent alot of time in Dallas and Houston and knew they were in the top 10 of most populous US cities so I always assumed they were slightly smaller but it would take Dallas almost 7 times the population to reach New Yorks. That blows my mind.

Its not only the population, but the population density and the available amount of space which dictates when the city becomes a mess without well-functioning mass transit. The city center might be a big clusterfuck, but if it was designed when car was around, and it has space to expand to almost any direction the problem is not that big of a deal because of ring roads and highways.

St Davids is next and is the smallest in the UK (1,841), making London the 4th smallest city. Out of 69, it's the 65th biggest. It isn't even the biggest city in Greater London - that's Westminster (219,396), the 26th biggest city in the UK. Greater London is made up of 2 cities (those ones) and 45 towns.

duckmaster posted:Biggest cities in the UK Yeah but that's just statistics. Similarly as saying that "over one billion people live in a conflict zone" because technically everything in mainland China is claimed by the Republic of China and 23 million people of Taiwan are claimed by the People's Republic of China.

If that blows your mind then consider that the Greater Tokyo Area is slightly smaller than the New York metropolitan area but has nearly double the population.

That doesn't really happen anymore. The growth of the rail lines in Tokyo has calmed the crowding a lot. I was on Yamanote line in rush hour a few times and it wasn't any more crowded than my own trains back home.

The lines coming in from the suburbs are prone to this during rush hour.

Yeah and most normal Americans don't know it because Disney has made it clear they'll sue anyone who brings an English-language translation of the original to market into oblivion. e: Which, of course, is literally a 100% admission that they plagiarized it. If it wasn't the plagiarized, they wouldn't have a leg to stand on in any court
