@taiwan_girl said in I would be afraid to cook these: I was fortunate when I was in Japan 2 summers ago to be treated to a Kobe beef restaurant (which I think it the same (or almost the same) as Wagyu). Kobe beef is one type of Wagyu. Wagyu literals means "Japanese beef." Kobe is a city in Japan. There is a system that certifies certain beef output from that area as "Kobe beef." For a long time, "Kobe beef" tops the price scale in the beef market. Having tasted Kobe beef in Japan and in the USA, as well as other non-Kobe A5 Wagyu, I have come to conclude that I like them only in small servings. I find it unpleasant to consume more than, say, 3 to 4 ounces of such A5 beef in one sitting. A few bites as appetizer are quire delectable, but trying to down an 8+ oz. cut as an entrée in one sitting would be way too fatty. "Lesser" beef would work much better as an entrée. :man-shrugging:

Interesting perspective and history lesson. There is one statement I am not sure of : "... red states welcome change, " To me, it seems a bit the opposite.

I wonder if anyone really has that fear? LOL

I wonder how much (if any) of the COVID sickness/death that the Amish had were not reported. But an interesting article/interview.

Cool house.

One of my favorite movies: Link to video Just listen to Tom Conti's score. It's brilliant, and makes this scene all it could be. At 1:20...the music pauses as Yeager seals the hatch. And a nod to Holst's "The Planets" that follows. Read the book. The book is more about Yeager than the Mercury Seven, unlike the movie.

This isn't the exact one I saw, but it's similar: Link to video

Aerosol transmission.

The rubber meets the road with the download number. The Chappelle special is currently the hottest show in the streaming world.

I guess if you can't afford a trip to Didneyland, just stay home and screw the old lady.....

I heard earlier this week, it takes about 6 weeks to train a CDL truck driver. The real issue is it's taking up to 4 months to get an appointment at the DMV to take the test.

She sounds like Gilbert Gottfried.

That’s awesome.

Amazing.

@89th said in World Map: lol they're so dumb But tasty.

Why are they coming here? Safety? How will they bring their assets?

I see no reason it would not. Potatoes(good and neutral) + pesto(good and distinctive) = good.

@jolly said in Covid and Age: It is here to stay and we better learn to live with it. Honestly, we need to be pushing effective treatments a shitload harder than we are. You bet your ass I'll be eating the horse paste in addition to the kitchen sink and whatever's underneath it.
