One more goofy post for tonight.

(I actually really like Halloween.)

This is a modern take on the witch and her cat.

Thinking about how in English, the word ‘bland’ has negative connotations, but in Chinese the word for bland 清淡 (qing1 dan4 in Mandarin, cing1 daam6 in Cantonese) is quite different.

It can mean delicate, pure, unseasoned but often it also refers to mad skills in cooking: some sifu was able to coax tremendous flavors from very simple ingredients, like, in double boiled soup in high end Cantonese restaurants ($25 per tiny bowl!)

I definitely seek that out in southern Chinese cuisines.

#Food

i am super fucking tired of having to put this much goddam thought into what food might do to me, every fucking day of my fucking life. Would really love to be able to just Eat Food™ and Have A Body™ without worrying about whether the gormer will completely incapacitate the latter for 24+ hours.

This is not a place for you to try to give me advice.

This week on Serious Trouble: long sentences in January 6 cases, a questionable new RICO case against protestors in Georgia, Ken Chesebro and Sydney Powell are not mutual admirers, Donald Trump loses more in the E. Jean Carroll case, and Elon Musk yells about defamation and Jews.

Anyone in the Dev channel of ChromeOS get booted out of everything they were signed into with Google and warned to change their password because of a malicious app compromising their account?

I don't root, sideload, or install shady apps on any of my Google devices. I had four apps connected to my account, all of which I trusted and had on my phone with no issues.

Any insight into this?

I don't really have the reach on here to ask, maybe @jerry could boost 🙏
