  • Holy hell.
    I would absolutely skip many a ‘medium-end,’ ‘high-end’ joint if I could munch nicely on that shizzle. oO

    Reminds me a bit of that nice “Jap Che,” which I had on my phone a couple months ago, but still can’t figure out how the FLUFF to now transfer my images over to my PC, since some Android change, or whatever it was. Foof, bloody hell.


  • FUN FACT: for at least the first couple iterations of the A2, the computer would “seize-up,” and then you’d have to lift the top off, likely shut it down (but not everyone did!), then push down gently on each IC (chip), attempting to ascertain which one might be doing “pokies.” (i.e. lifting out of its socket)

    I don’t think it was a heat issue (but I might be wrong), but rather that the first couple runs of IC sockets didn’t exactly match up with the actual chips!


    TBH, I’ve never really researched this stuff, so I might be wildly incorrect about the actual cause. But just like the Nintendo NES folks who blew their saliva-breath on poorly-functioning cartridge leads, it doggone WORKED. 😀






  • I think if you drill down a bit past the first paragraph citing uncertainty, you’ll find there’s a pretty consistent body of scientific findings naming various ill-health effects. Maybe follow up on those specific studies, supplementing with ScienceDaily and PubMed material as needed?

    I’m not a nutritionist, and haven’t spent much time myself researching palm oil studies, but I can tell you as someone who’s tried to keep abreast of nutritional news for decades, so far I’ve only seen negative findings upon palm oil, both as a food and as an ecological agent of destruction.









  • There’s a Mexican place that opened very close to me, and I’ve been a bit bewildered by the general lack of flavor in their stuff. Examples would be their barbacoa, birria, pastor, chicken tinga, and carnitas. Funnily-enough, they load up the spices in their ground beef, so that’s most usually my protein filling. 😕

    I really don’t know quite what to say in trying to suggest to a Oaxacan-style restaurant that their meats need more spices…
