Right but the goodness floors and ceilings vary from fruit to fruit. A bad banana is mostly going to be bland and boring at worst, for example, whereas a bad peach can be a disgusting piece of shit. Melons are like peaches. When they’re bad, they’re really bad.

See, you highlighted why the German cuisine is not that great. There’s simply not much variety in what you just listed. The German cuisine is kinda shallow, focusing mostly around the same stuff. If you’re not that into cheese or meat, then that’s 75% of the German cuisine eliminated.

One thing “food countries” have in common is that their cuisines have variety. Go to Spain or Turkey or China, and you’ll be drowning in mouth watering options no matter what kind of food you like. Hard to say the same for countries like Germany or the NL or Denmark or whatever. Yeah they can be very good at what they do, but they just don’t do a whole lot.

The Lizard King was a pretty enjoyable character to watch though. Mostly because Spader.

I’ve always wondered what drives people to such confessions. Not a killing of course, but I once met a dude and like 20 minutes later he was telling me about the literal scams he pulls. Shit like stealing old people’s passwords and whatnot to buy things for himself online. Very unambiguously illegal stuff. There was no context either, no lead up to that conversation. He just pulled the subject to that out of nowhere and started spilling the beans. One minute we were talking about wearing thinner gloves inside thicker gloves to keep our hands extra warm, and the next minute he was telling me how he tricks old people into submitting their email credentials into fake forms that he makes.

I witnessed something kinda similar.

I was the passenger in an old beaten small panel van. The driver was a complete jackass, but I needed the lift. He pulled up next to an Alfa Romeo 159, and asked for a race. The driver of the Alfa just looked… confused. He gave us a very potent “I cannot sanction your buffoonery” look and rolled his window back up. My driver yelled at him. I sunk into my seat in an overwhelming combination of first and second hand embarrassment.

That’s not funny. Radiation poisoning is not funny. The horse should have something you can laugh at. Like full blown aids. Contracted from an African prostitute. It should be riddled with it. Now that’s comedy.

No idea who that is

Comacho was an idiot but he was genuinely trying to improve his country. Do not insult his greatness by comparing him to any living politician.

I’m sure there have been people who sold some catalytic converters that fell of a truck somewhere to buy RAM.

No, Blade Runner. It’s quite obvious that they didn’t bother to talk to a single actual replicant hunter when writing that script.

I wonder… did he ride an obnoxiously loud horse? Was his gambeson adorned with the stylized emblems of various troubadours and/or bandit gangs? Did he run a shady laudanum business from the back office of the local inn?

Well Tesla tried to fix that by making it a yoke instead of a wheel so your hands would never leave their designated positions. And then they went and fucked that up by making it a fixed steering ratio like a regular wheel, which defeated the entire purpose of a yoke. Then they just ditched the yoke entirely instead of developing a variable ratio steering mechanism for it, and that was it for the yoke. Oh also they went back on their bold and courageous and revolutionary and innovative move of removing the steering stalk in favor of shitty capacitive buttons on the wheel, because everyone hated that too. Very brave.

Never seen it. Is it good? Where is it streaming?

So many of those are also fiction. There was a post somewhere, where the op had compiled a list of top relationshipadvice posts that were highly suspicious at the very least up if you went into their posters’ histories. People were eating them up.

That sub became mostly a creative writing gym a long time ago.

Except when the train is operated by Deutsche Bahn. Then you wish you were walking from Düsseldorf to Munich.

Very different vegetables though. It’d be like comparing wine and beer.

3 zone a/c is also pretty nice. No more “it’s too <exact opposite of what the driver is feeling>” whining from the back.

I once read a review of a sous vide machine that just would not work unless it was connected to a smartphone via an app. And then that app would not work properly without a connection to some backend. That backend died at some point, bricking the sous vide machine. What a wonderful world we live in.

I doubt it but it does look like it went through some heavy handed filter or even some upscaling.

They’re not out of order, it’s just there are two orders. The left side is “what if bicycles” themed and the right side is “what if bus” themed. Except the top left is shared, of course.

Obviously it could have been presented more clearly though.
