I love this, thank you, I will keep this in mind when searching for tacos in Texas

The equivalent I learned from another Goon was when we were in Memphis and agreed we wanted barbeque and he said "I'll let you know when to stop." We got annoyed with him because he vetoed like six places based purely on how they looked, but then when we were driving through what I remember being a residential area he said "there, stop" and we pulled over at what basically looked like a war-ruined concrete bunker with smoke pouring out of it, with a faded hand-painted sign that said BOSS HOGG BBQ, and yeah it was basically the best food I had eaten all year

All the best Chinese food places in the UK now are almost always 3.2-3.5 stars on any given rating system. Usually not much more than a glazed hole in the wall, you can't see in or out because the inadequate ventilation means the window is constantly steamed. It will probably have a bunch of Chinese students from the local university eating there.

Often the only place to get good pig's ear.

Its similar but different in the UK - it's not the service so much but the food. Average Brit thinks all Chinese food is UK Chinese Takeaway and will basically have an aneurism when presented with real food.

I don't really know anything about UK Chinese food, but I really hate this argument about American Chinese food that it isn't "authentic" when it's dishes invented and made by Chinese Americans. It's not the same as cuisine from the mainland for sure, but it's like saying chicken tikka masala isn't "authentic" Indian food because it was invented in London.

IMO when it's invented specifically to appease the tastes of the local culture, and doesn't get back-ported to the indigenous culture, it's fair to say it isn't authentic. It's just Chinese-American or Anglo-Indian or whatever. Theres nothing inherently wrong, better or worse about it, it's just different.

E: for the avoidance of doubt I'm saying what's cursed is caring about Authenticity as the sole arbiter of quality. It's ok to distinguish indigenous from diaspora culture, just not ok to discriminate based on it.

Maybe? Go down that road far enough and pasta ain't Italian so maybe it's not black and white and people shouldn't get too bent out of shape about it unless your culture is being misrepresented or insulted or w/e.

That man who was set on fire? I sold him the fire extinguisher he put himself out with!

I also made a bundle when I sold some powerful computers to the guy who set him on fire, something about categorising and identifying specific groups of people.

Other family also worked the security gate at HMP Wandsworth until recently and quit because, amongst other things, no one else was taking gate security protocol seriously...

There's common causes but it changes per person. I got a gout flare up from eating an apple a day.

It's ok, we found out on the last expedition that the designated observer(s) don't actually have to be in-person to hold the entity in place.

You can set up a trail cam on a satellite link and have a remote team watch the entity while your team exfils from the immediate psychic field.

Wish we'd known that earlier. Obviously make sure your keyhole frequencies are set correctly and you have a solid tunnel through the threshold for the datastream or... You know what, I best not worry you with the details.

Rapidly coming to the conclusion if you're not using torx headed wood screws and machine screws and using a electric screwdriver you secretly want to get carpal tunnel and arthiritis later in life due to RSI.

Weed, torx and a brushless drill driver with proper electronic control is the only way I can get work done now I've destroyed my hands with decades of IT. It also feels amazing to just mash trigger and the drill stops perfectly on the money every time.

The belt fed screw gun is blessed when it works, cursed when it doesn't (when I'm holding a sheet of gyproc to the ceiling).

Slot headed brass screws and stainless pozidrive are the most cursed of the regular screw varieties.
