You really gotta eat it with something though; maybe I'm just unlucky, but tofu by itself is just bland. Add a little sweet soy sauce, some fried eggs though, and you've got yourself a meal!

You could eat paper if you soaked it in soy sauce and fried eggs.

well yeah, that's the thing about tofu, it's bland and absorbent so whatever sauce you use with it, it's going to sponge it up. plain tofu is fine, fried/marinated tofu is next level good.

I don’t think anyone eats plain tofu by itself, no

Yeah; I just wanted to point out that if someone says they 'don't like a food', it probably means they ate said food by itself and hated it, therefore all foods involving it is terrible.

You just made me curious enough to go and compare Washington, my state with British Columbia across the border and our Canadian neighbors immediately to our north have over twice the cases per 100k that we do. Maybe we should be the one closing the border to Canadians on this side of the country?

As of today, BC has 300 cases per 100k.

Washington has 1443 per 100k.

I was looking at the WA dashboard and got 111. I just checked google again and for some reason one of the top links is to the August 25 stats.

I feel like NZ, while they absolutely did a great job, started on 3rd base because of the small, isolated island on the bottom of the world. The real covid champs are the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, who had 1100 cases and 35 deaths total, while being dead in the middle of the initial outbreak zone.

A lot of Subsaharan Africa did very well too. The fact that they still had the infra from the last ebola outbreak played a big role, as well, of course, the experience of dealing with other epidemics recently.

NZ had a combination of luck and really good management. Neither would've been enough on its own.

We were one of the last countries in the world to get covid, so we could see what needed to be done and the population was on board because we were all looking at Italy, Iran and South Korea in horror. We also don't have any land borders so we can make sure that literally everyone who comes in goes through a two week managed isolation. But the government also acted really quickly and decisively, and has been using best evidence since on how to keep poo poo out. When we had a second outbreak of unknown source the govt decided within 12 hours to put Auckland (1/3 of the country's population) back into lockdown.

The govt's response hasn't been perfect, for example they weren't routinely testing border workers or staff at the managed isolation facilities until we had a second outbreak, which kinda boggles the mind in terms of how did they not think to do that. But otherwise yeah NZ did well.

But also lol @ the idea the not letting rich Americans in. Our previous (right wing) government set up a system that let rich people buy citizenship. It even made an exception to that system to let Peter Thiel buy his citizenship. So we can't really keep some of you out, like legally

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

But only the males are venomous, and I'm no platytologist, but I don't think the males lay eggs or produce milk.

Edit: Also, the female platypus doesn't have standard "milk glands and breasts/teets" like other mammals, they're more interspersed throughout her body and it kind of comes out like sweat.
