It’s not looking good, Chat 😅

Indian curry is an opportunity to learn about the combination of the two types of spices with less effort, but I agree spicing up a Japanese curry can work if one is okay with experimenting.

I like that Japanese curry can be made quickly and by only chopping a few root vegetables that keep long in the pantry

I find that it stands for spice-level, not heat-level. And that spice-level is how much of the general spices they add, not chili spices.

If it’s chili spice you’re looking for, an Indian curry might work out better than a Japanese curry

Whipped cream, from the looks of it. To be fair, we didn’t say types and styles of milk were mutually exclusive

Shaolin Soccer (same director and a lot of the same cast) is also a good one

Not with Hawking Radiation.

They even made a lab-grown black hole to test it

For those who also lack encyclopedic knowledge of the show/memes, this is from Star Trek: The Next Generation episode Sub Rosa

The issue for a long time was that there is no markdown standard, so everyone had their own version of it.

CommonMark is gaining ground, so hopefully markdown will be the same everywhere soon

PIH-cawn instead of PEE-can for pecan. CAR-mel instead of KARA-mel for caramel. AWN-t instead of ANT for aunt. VAH-se instead of VAY-se for vase.

Which ones are right/wrong could probably start another Civil War

It was mentioned in another comment, but this is a Lenna reference.

I was more used to seeing Clarus the dogcow, so I forgot about Lenna

There are too many people that think rinsing hands with water is enough, or that using a urinal doesn’t need hand rinsing much less washing.

Even post-COVID, habits are too hard to break

Japan doesn’t have paper towels or air dryers in their bathrooms.

Why?

Because everyone carries a handkerchief to dry their hands. They even sell them at airports when you land.

I’ve been trying to bring back the handkerchief in the States, but not as many places sell them

Yep, my grandmother went through the Great Depression and didn’t eat pork unless it was well done. For example, bacon had to be crispy.

Turns out trichinosis can kill children, and not silently in their sleep.

These days, commercial pork is highly regulated and safer to the point you only have to be cautious with smaller ranches.

Unpasteurized milk has a similar story, but my grandmother swore drinking that as a child was why she never had osteoporosis.

Me? It’s 2024, most food lacks nutritional value, so I cook everything to temp and take supplements

I mean, thanks to AI, we’ll look back at these kinds of comics and reminisce about how artisanal they are, and how they don’t make them like this anymore.

Good times… Good times…

Yes, it’s intentional. It represents the difficulty in keeping one’s balance. For reference, check squat toilets:

Nah, they’d still be extinct: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passenger_pigeon#Hunting

After being opened up to the railroads, the town of Plattsburgh, New York, is estimated to have shipped 1.8 million pigeons to larger cities in 1851 alone at a price of 31 to 56 cents a dozen. By the late 19th century, the trade of passenger pigeons had become commercialized

Even if adjusted for inflation, 31 cents a dozen doesn’t sound like a lot, but then market saturation happened and your prediction came to pass:

The price of a barrel full of pigeons dropped to below fifty cents, due to overstocked markets. Passenger pigeons were instead kept alive so their meat would be fresh when the birds were killed, and sold once their market value had increased again. Thousands of birds were kept in large pens, though the bad conditions led many to die from lack of food and water, and by fretting (gnawing) themselves; many rotted away before they could be sold.

Those who don’t learn from the past are something something

You might as well be drinking coca cola if you’re going that way.

Yep, a 16 fl oz Peppermint White Chocolate Mocha with whipped cream has 72g of sugar.

A 16 fl oz [Bottle of Pepsi] (https://www.pepsicoproductfacts.com/Home/Product?formula=35005*26*01-01&form=RTD&size=16) has 55g of sugar.

Recommended daily amount of sugar? 25g for women and 38g for men.

This is why I drink unsweetened green tea or water now.
