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.

@JoeP @arstechnica it was the phrasing “yet again” and “volunteer software”. I’m not saying it’s not technically true, but i think the wording has a connotation that is not presenting the position in the most fair way.
I’m not an open source fanatic. The phrasing just really tweaked me.
@arstechnica I really dislike the implication that if this were closed source/developed by a company for profit it would be less susceptible

@BlackAzizAnansi my dumb ass was trying to figure out why (and how) you’d put spinners on the wheels of a Weber kettle grill

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.

@Popehat I was worried there wasn’t one this week!
