That’s no longer accurate, as there are plenty of authentic Chinese restaurants in areas with Chinese communities that aren’t just trying to get western locals to visit. The dim sum place I’ve been to didn’t even have much English on their menu and it really helped to have some colleagues present who knew Chinese (both the language and the food).

Easily one of the best meals I’ve ever had, and I’m not usually a fan of the western chinese style.

That one was just as popular with windows users back in the day, or at least the groups I ran with.

Probably because Mac marketers never thought of it. Their whole marketing strategy during the 90s wasn’t even about what Macs or PCs could do but that cool people liked Macs and only middle aged business men liked PCs. Despite most of the games that weren’t on both platforms being on the PC side and Macs being the overpriced underperforming one (which IMO is the opposite of cool).

That’s just one approach to addiction. Personally, I think it assumes people are weak with no self-control, which seems to be exactly the argument you’re making.

The emphasis on abstinence and any exposure at all being a failure might even make binging more likely if someone gives in just a little, as their counter is now reset, so might as well take advantage.

And the obsession/fascination with the addiction target continues or even gets ramped up.

I like the moderation approach a lot better. I don’t binge drink every weekend anymore, but if I do feel like having a drink every now and then, I just do instead of spiraling because I need to treat it like some sort of personal failure.

Just make sure you have permission from the leg’s owner first or things can get complicated legally.

One difference that I’m aware of is we were using bone needles at that point to make more advanced clothing, which would have helped in an ice age.

Yeah, it’s all about a) whether microbes can get to it, b) whether microbes can survive on it, and c) whether microbes can thrive on it. If the answer to any of those is no, then it won’t decompose.

If it just relies on a, then opening it starts its countdown.

If it just relies on b, then it won’t rot but the preservatives might be an issue for us, too. Though it could rot eventually if circumstances change (like it gets soaked with clean water or if the preservatives break down over time).

If it just relies on c, then it might just be waiting for some moisture for an existing colony to take off, but it’ll just sit until then.

Eggs are a and maybe a bit of b mixed in. You don’t even need to refridgerate eggs if they weren’t washed like they do for commercially available ones (at least in north america, dunno about elsewhere). Not that unwashed eggs are necessarily better, as they can have bacteria on the outside of the shell from things like chicken shit.

Once I understood the role moisture plays, I stopped using a lid on my garbage so that it would dry out and stink less. It works unless I’m thowing out a bunch of fish guts or something that stores/traps moisture well, and even then, the stink isn’t as bad.

The outside would be burnt and the inside raw. There might be a layer of well-cooked chicken between them, though just cutting through it to see that will contaminate the cooked bit from the raw bit. That’s why the penicillin sauce is so important.

A decent number of them have already sent cash gifts. Which is already spent paying off the loan for the wedding planner and the artists that made some concept art of the theme which is being presented as actual footage of the venue, despite a few of the visuals being things that cutting edge technology cannot physically produce.

Oh and after the last meeting where some of this was laid out, the wedding planner just started laughing hysterically, left the room, and isn’t answering or returning calls. The kids who were playing out front know a bit more information but are worried they’d get in trouble if they repeated what she said about the groom.

Just flashbang every room before you enter it, just to be safe.

Yeah, there’s a lot of unused space there. Or just look at the gap in the middle of that row of 4. A slightly smaller square could have fit a 5x5, even.

It’s a novelty, not an optimization.

There’s a lot of food that won’t rot if left out to dry.

Not that McDonald’s is any good, just that that particular experiment was flawed because there was no control showing that other food left out in similar circumstances would have decomposed more (and even then, decent burger patties make McDonald’s’ look like jokes; “thick and juicy” is more likely to decompose than thin and whatever you’d call the moisture level in a McDonald’s burger).

That’s the blue mana they need to activate their ability and untap themselves!

Would that be 100 dollars percent or 100 percent dollars?

I bet it at least ended that way.

They died out during the last ice age when one of the big differences from previous ones they survived was the presence of homo sapiens.

I’m guessing it was from a combination of lack of space, raids, and integration (willing or not).

We (who carry it) have a small amount of Neanderthal DNA, but it’s not the same DNA for all of us, it’s pretty diverse, so cross breeding events between us weren’t limited to just a few times.

Similarly, snow piles can be dangerous. Like the kind made by machines clearing parking lots that kids love to play on. Depending on how packed it is, there could be gaps a kid could fall in and get stuck, plus kids scream when they are having fun, so many adults might just filter out the sound of child screaming.

The ones at schools might be specifically made with kids playing on them in mind, but I doubt that’s the case for ones in random parking lots, though maybe I’m just underestimating typical snow plough training.

If you want a less explicit example of what he does that doesn’t really spoil anything, he picks some random family’s house as a base and tells the kids to stay out of sight. Iirc they just stand in a closed closet because they can’t disobey.

…slam it on the water again.

Because they were able to survive without doing it.

Though iirc some birds of prey do the sky version of this. Or maybe the cliff version.

Orange you glad I didn’t say worchestershire sauce?
