I did not know cow to human was rare. That would explain it too, India has a shitload of dairy farms but not as much of other stuff. Chickens are the one animal all the non-vegetarians are allowed to eat, they're the other most common farm animal there. Not much pig farming in India considering its size.

What group doesn't eat goats or sheep? My favorite Indian dishes use those.

given the rate of money printing - sorry QE - that is about to take place, i don't think any one is planning to pay anything back.

Much like the trillions that got 'lost' during 2008, i would think we are going to see another ridiculously painful inflation jump, just shy of hyper inflation (if we're lucky and we all play nice). I'm not an economics hero by any stretch, but the risk of hyperinflation seems to be stronger now than in 2008.

I'm not 100% certain, but, when we are printing telephone numbers of currency overnight, (with what seems to be increasing regularity) the models in hand seem like maybe they are not working - it's not ok is all I'm sure of.

I'll toss in an ill-thought out conspiracy just for fun, I would also ask if 2008 was an opportunity to achieve some degree of currency equalisation to ameliorate some of the effects of 20 years of wanton offshoring.

I can't meaningfully engage in economics, apologies if this annoyed you.

i cannot comment as i am not an economist

There’s some really good superhots out there with a ton of flavor to go with the heat. The problem is there’s also a ton out there that are just pain sauce, often with capsaicin extract. Da Bomb, for example, is just nasty. The Last Dab is super hot but has a kind of curry type flavor. They made a Pepper X version of the Classic that’s the hottest thing I’ve ever eaten but has this nice grassy, fruity flavor from the peppers.

The endorphin rush is also nice. I have a lunatic pain tolerance from years of doing MMA/boxing and teaching Krav Maga so the heat barely bothers me.

I think I've tried Da Bomb... if it's the one I'm thinking of, it tasted like half-smoked tobacco but spicy.

I like to use dark when I'm making a beef stir fry. Just today I cubed some london broil, coated it with dark soy, sprinkled in some 5 spice and pepper, then after letting it sit for a hour I stir fried with onion and celery. The main thing about doing this is that the soy sauce will burn if you're not careful, but if you do it right it turns into a pleasant rich sauce.

You're telling me. I can't make tarts without fanbake, but it doesn't have that either.

The only time I use the fan oven setting is when I'm baking tofu cubes for a stir fry, I feel confident you could make tarts with the regular oven mode.

People keep saying this but like there's no basis for it.

If Trump refuses to leave the White House he still constitutionally ceases to be President on Jan 20th, 2021. The Secret Service can presumably forceably throw him out or shoot him for trespassing or whatever then.

If elections are cancelled, which they literally never have been and I'm pretty sure there isn't even a mechanism for, Trump still ceases to be President on January 20th, 2021. If no new President/Vice President was elected then it just automatically passes to the next person in the order of succession. Which if I recall, is Nancy Pelosi lol.

It was crazy paranoia when conservatives mumbled about Obama refusing to leave office in 2012 and 2016, presumably declaring himself king? This time, though, it's just good sense!!!!!

You don't get it. When people throw something at you for years it doesn't matter how innocuous it is. That's what harassment is. The individual thinks they are being funny or it is harmless but never considers the collective impact. As expected addressing it makes it worse. Even after being told to knock it off they still don't get the message.

Redemption arc? This isn't a movie. I have seen what happens once it goes negative.


I forgive you.

In other news the US is harassing China with 3 Air Carriers.

You know, I'm sorry for posting the suit thing. I legitimately wanted (and still want) to see the suit, but I also sometimes just wrote "post the suit" to annoy you after you said something I thought was dumb, and I apologize for that. It's easy to think "ah it's just a silly catchphrase" but that sort of thing can get to a person.

Diet Coke: girly

Coke Zero: for MEN. You can tell because the can is black.

They taste really different though and while I sometimes like the taste of Diet Coke, Coke Zero tastes more like regular Coke. I'm cutting back on it all but thanks to Zero, I haven't bought regular sugar Coke in years.

I don't even think they make Dr. Pepper 10 anymore. Not that it was necessary as Diet Dr. Pepper tastes good to begin with. Not quite Regular Dr. Pepper, but a good flavour anyway.

This one has to be doing it on purpose, right? I am not a historian of the Diet Soda But For Men Wars but if that did in fact come out after a year or two of Coke Zero / Pepsi Max MAN ADS, it's pretty loving clever.
