Android Apocalypse posted:David Chang has been fairly active in working on becoming better than his earlier celebrity chef persona (which was more in line with that Gordon Ramsey-style blowhardedness), or that's what his podcast has me believe… He's also manic depressive and bipolar so I mean, I can kiiind of give him a bit of a pass for having a few episodes.

David Chang was just on Finding Your Roots and his family story was interesting to hear. I don't know anything else about him but he seemed like a decent dude and he was visibly moved by learning a bunch of stuff about his ancestors. I have not heard good things about Acer as a computer brand. I would avoid, in favor of a Lenovo, Dell, or maybe a Asus. I'm also a bit down on HPs, they're great to work on and have lots of spare parts availability, but they're typically loaded with shitware you can't delete and just feel really cheaply made usually.

I mean he's a cook who catches flak for making fancy versions of Asian food we normally think of as cheap? How is that gentrification in a way that's different from starting an upscale Italian joint?

gentrification is bad because you take away poor people's homes and fancy them up and sell them to rich people but making rich-people food based on poor people's recipes does not take away the poor people's food, they can keep right on eating it so calling it gentrification seems pretty silly to me

Its Rinaldo posted:Isn't most fancy food based on cheap food? I know lobster wasn't considered fancy until like the last 100 years A lot of it is based upon perception, yes. Remember like, I don't know, 16 or 18 years, when all of a sudden tilapia became one of the most expensive and sought-after dishes at seafood restaurants? Much of this was due to the simple fact that despite being a literal bottom-feeder fish with next to no taste whatsoever, some clever marketing at a time when a lot of people were wringing their hands (justifiably) at overfishing of populations like swordfish and tuna allowed tilapia to take over that open "premier" space. Oysters, also, became a highly desired thing to consume in the back half of the 20th century, because they were incredibly cheap to fish and mongers were able to attach all sorts of labels to them (like them being aphrodisiacs), and you could tack on a 90 percent markup because people would pay it.

I remember it was Chilean sea bass being overfarmed to the point it was about to be put on the endangered list. High end restaurants love(d) that fish since it was so neutral that sauciers could flex their skills on the plate. I grew up eating tilapia because… well, it was cheap. Oysters/mussels/clams & other bivalves are pretty good too as they help clean the waters they inhabit and are relatively easy to farm. Trick is that you gotta make sure people aren't dumping crap chemicals* nearby. *or an excessive amount within government guidelines.

Should've known mentioning food would start an insufferable derail. Anyway the guy I was thinking of was Micah Camden. He's notorious for starting speciality restaurants with huge funding and promotion that mimic the traits of other mom and pop restaurants that had recent success in that niche. So somebody gets the buzz going and sees their business pick only to get muscled out of the mini market. As you might guess with restaurants, the mom and pop shops are often run by first or second generation immigrants. So maybe an economic inflected cultural appropriation. Small potatoes as far as problem go but still lovely. I was just wondering if that was the guy Android was talking about since he's a Portland famous restauranteur.

We're somewhere over a foot, nowhere near 2. And of course my snowblower's carburetor is busted, so that's fun. Shoveled out to my car, then one of my neighbors plowed me out, so I got that going for me. Just made a peasant's stew and gonna play some Forza. Enjoy Woonsocket!

I was all set to get home from the hospital tonight (had been hospitalized since Tuesday with pneumonia, not COVID) and cook something in my kitchen to beat the hell out of the awful hospital food. As I was sitting on the hospital bed getting changed and waiting for my phone to buzz with the arrival notification from my cab, it instead pinged with a text from my girlfriend. "We need to talk tonight." No good conversation ever started that way.

Making ethnic food for yourself / family is fine. Now, if you decided to open a Korean restaurant making a profit off of Korean food, well... that's where it gets weird. I don't think you're gonna open a restaurant, yet

seiferguy posted:I don't think you're gonna open a restaurant, ever Fixed. God, I know so many people, really good friends, who have gotten rear end-over-head and blown hundreds of thousands of dollars in retirement savings to open a restaurant just because they've been told they're good cooks, or they're excellent at managing operations and just need to hire a good chef, or whatever. Edit: And even pre-COVID, like maybe around 2016 - 17, banks were starting to get really wary of handing out mortgages to people looking to start a restaurant, even people with solid financial backing and good business plans. All the planning in the world doesn't fix when a contractor totally fucks the dog on a build-out, you buy a turnkey space with lovely equipment, the roof is leaking, there's black mold in the coolers, you can't hire staff worth a drat and your wife has just left you for the bartender and stolen your broken-down pickup truck.

IIRC he helped Ndamukong Suh start up Baes Fried Chicken. drat, looking up the list of places Camden's been involved in has a lot of places I like too.

Pandora is still very good at its core competency of generating an algorithmic station from a song and with the paid plans you get the ability to add them to playlists, save them etc like Spotify or any other music service, it is still surfacing new music for me 16 years later.

T-Square posted:Let me know if you try it out, I’ve been sick of Spotify for months because all of my daily playlists are just different orders of the same song from 15 of the same bands including several that I give a thumbs down at every opportunity. At least use a different song or two from the same 15 bands! I did end up getting the pay version because they have a special of $1 for three months. So far it’s good. It looks pretty much exactly like Spotify and looks to have the same features. I’ll have to give the shuffle some time since I just started with it. See if it’s repetitive or not.

I can't speak to it now, but Pandora had a much better shuffle / themed option when I used it six or seven years ago. The trade-off was that the Android version was so encumbered by bloat and adware that it was unusable after maybe two hours just due to a brutal memory leak.

Pulling out my 2DS and playing Dragon Quest 9 with some fortified cocoa here. Did some of the remaining shoveling tonight and I guess I overestimated based on what the deck looked like (looks like a lot of what was on the roof fell down on there) because I was only seeing 19 inches.

Timby posted:Har har. I'm still waiting for her to call. So, no breakup tonight, but I'm on thin ice. My girlfriend is ... while she's not a-romantic, she doesn't really wear her passions on her sleeve, she's not the type to do romantic gestures, even like a random text saying, "Hey, I love you." Whereas I am the complete opposite. It's led to some frictions here and there. But I do love her so, and I'm grateful that she continues to give me chances, even though I occasionally screw up and do something that she feels I shouldn't / doesn't want me to, like publicly express affection for her on social media. It's weird, but I can roll with it.
