Me, a year ago: I’m so glad they’re building high density housing right in downtown. Without the parking minimums, it’ll be perfect for students and transit, this kind of high density walkable urbanism is what’s needed.

Me, checking the status in a year: no, not like that

@dan @regehr it should be reversed, gun to my head, I’ll pay 75k not to move to Nebraska

@dev @dan @regehr i wish zillow would add the metric I really care about: distance to good tacos (DTGT)

@lzg @dan @regehr hey they seem to have tacos https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZnLfhVFDpuETz2iZA?g_st=ic (surprise jump scares in photos)

@lzg @dan @regehr I have not seen a single taqueria in California offer a “six pack and a pound offer” who is really winning https://tacojohns.com/menu/new-taco-pizza-six-pack-pound-bundle/

@dev @lzg @regehr this reminds me that the local PNW questionable taco chain used to sell tater tots as "Mexi-Fries"

They recently renamed them, because apparently the name was the offensive part here?

@dan @lzg @regehr one of the unexpected things that shook me on the website was that they keep referring to the meat as “seasoned” beef, mentioning seasoned repeatedly

@dev @dan @lzg ppl in the midwest will no shit cook ground beef w/o even salting it I have seen this

dev,

@regehr @dan @lzg why even cook it at that point

@dan @dev @lzg at least they didn't miss that this is a reasonably honest adaptation of a German food, despite the stupid name

@dave_andersen @regehr @dan @lzg I’m not sure if you mean mett shaped like salmon or salmon shaped like hedgehog

dave_andersen,
@dave_andersen@hachyderm.io avatar

@dev @regehr @dan @lzg der Igel -> hedgehog. Chopped raw salmon in the shape of a hedgehog.

You know .. because hedgehogs are poke-y.

@regehr @dave_andersen @dev @lzg also, I thought all animals in German were either subtypes of Baer or Schwein

That article doesn't even mention trichina worms :-/

regehr,
@regehr@mastodon.social avatar

@Doomed_Daniel @dave_andersen @dev @dan @lzg which I understand are rare these days? but yeah I am not eating raw pork, even if that is irrational

regehr,
@regehr@mastodon.social avatar

@Doomed_Daniel @dave_andersen @dev @dan @lzg I'm very fond of steak tartare but I've gotten sick to the stomach from it three maybe four times? I mostly trust the meat but my guess is that keeping the grinder sufficiently clean is very difficult. I'm a slow learner about some stuff.

@pervognsen@mastodon.social avatar

@regehr @Doomed_Daniel I eat pork as my main protein (like a lot of people do in this part of the world) and think it's generally the best default type of meat for almost every culinary purpose, but I would not touch raw pork for any amount of money.

@Doomed_Daniel@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@regehr @dave_andersen @dev @dan @lzg

I always found the idea of eating raw minced meat disgusting (despite being German).
When you buy fresh minced meat you're told to cook it well and eat it within a day or two because there's such high risk of getting sick (allegedly) , unless it's Mett, then you can eat it raw? Makes no sense..

Though I guess nowadays you're much more likely to catch salmonella or similar instead of trichina worms - not as bad, but still not desirable, IMO ;)

@regehr @dev and so close to attractions -- only a quick 2.5 hour drive from the chapel at the geographic center of the contiguous United States, if you manage to dodge the tornadoes!

Tiny chapel in a flat green field. Approximately 6 feet wide and 10 feet deep
Interior of tiny chapel the size of a bathroom or dorm room

@dan@discuss.systems avatar

@janeadams @regehr @dev oh, is that the place that angry people keep showing up at because when some IP geolocation service fails it just returns the geographic center of the US?

@janeadams@vis.social avatar

@dan @regehr @dev Haha I hadn't heard that! I just know it from an article I read once (I don't think it was this one, but similar vibe) based on the Jeep ad that Bruce Springsteen made there for the Superbowl: https://kansasreflector.com/2021/06/28/what-i-learned-on-my-pilgrimage-to-the-u-s-center-chapel-in-kansas/
