I find the vast majority of yogurt products in American grocery stores to be totally inedible, except the stuff made by immigrants and sold at immigrant markets (desi yogurt, or Lebanese or Turkish labneh). Way too much sugar, or hype, sometimes both. My stomach also does better with the dairy from immigrant markets.
If you’re in Singapore, like din tai fung, but don’t like how crowded / expensive their restaurants get: here’s a hawker stall that does functionally the same food for $4ish. Will also be crowded, but it won’t be $40
I feel like I need to say that Trump had a rally in the Bronx after all. He even found some black people to stand with him. It seems like he's making friends at the courthouse ... people he can commiserate with about how mean those prosecutors are. The guys he was with are notorious criminals. Gang leaders responsible for shootings.
They are not well liked at all.
But I can see how Trump would find them ... relatable. They are his peers in so many ways.
@jacqueline one of the things in the back of my mind is to design and build a minimal board with FPGA and associated memory for bitstream and boot loader etc. To connect to my C64 cartridge port.
This story of this probably trans Burmese-Chinese warlord and Golden Triangle opium smuggler turned peace broker has always fascinated me.
What a life he led. (He was often described as bisexual, but that was because he had to marry a man earlier in life; at the end of his life he asked to be called uncle by everyone)
I've been reading some history books about Europe in the middle ages. The matter of the education of kings is incredibly interesting. It seemed nearly universally recognized that an excellent education is essential to a family holding on to power. And even in the controversies of the day (such as religion) children of the ruling class were exposed to a surprisingly wide range of ideas. Including those treated as heresy for the general population.
I just had a conversation with a guy who said, “Yeah, well I’m a capitalist.”
So I asked, “Okay, how much capital do you have?”
Boy, oh boy, does that question put things in perspective. He became a caricature of an old Warner Brothers cartoon character, trying to compose himself as he fumbled for words, all while he avoided actually answering the question.
So I simply repeated the question. I highly recommend.
@MattMerk are you prepared to tell me how much money you have?
If you are not prepared to answer a question but you expect others to answer the same question then you are being dishonest and inconsistent.
Answer the question. Asking another question in response would be avoiding the question.
