New dishes are invented all the time.

But the reason who these two are so ubiquitous is simple.

General Tso’s chicken was featured on 60 minutes. The guy being interviewed showed how to make the dish with each ingredient. After that, it quickly showed up on every Chinese restaurant menu.

Orange chicken was specifically designed for American tastes by Panda Garden, which then spawned imitators.

Go even further back, lifting your helmet’s visor to show your face.

Naan is safe.

General Tso’s chicken on the other hand, is another 1960s invention.

Same with orange chicken.

In fact, most “Chinese” food that Americans or Brits eat was invented in the 60s or 70s.

It was one of the reasons I switched. That and my favorite mod manager is working on a Linux native version. It’s not done yet, but it’s good to play other games from time to time.

Valheim is pretty brutal, but also highly moddable.

That was Rush Limbaugh, may he rot in piss.

You say “too” here, but it’s doubtful that Trump has actually read his book.

He famously had it ghost written, but fucked up the deal hard enough that his ghost writer got full writing credit on the cover.

And the second they get it, they reinvent IP law, but in an even more restricted form.

This particular final patch, the eighth major patch, is it. The contracts with Wizards of the Coast are expiring, which frees Larain Studios to work on different games.

While there will certainly be more games in the series, this particular one is effectively done.

Well, security through obscurity never really did work

Another distro that’s easy to get going for gaming is Garuda.

Also, the easiest way to switch to any distro is to get a USB drive and install a program called Ventoy. Then you throw your install iso onto the Ventoy drive, boot from USB, and you’re good to go.

As a tip, pick up an external drive large enough for your Steam library. Then in Steam, you right click on each game and select Manage/Back up game files.

Doing it this way will save you days of downloading.

XP might actually be somewhat safe to connect by now. Most of the viruses and worms have updated past it by now.

Part of the panicking should be wild bees. They’re dying at accelerated rates.

We also know why, commercial bee keeping is part of it, as is hobbies bee keeping.

And pesticides… and monoculture farming.

Do people in glass houses shit in the woods?

Hamas was always a “tame” terrorist force.

Or put another way, the only reason why Hamas existed in the first place is because Israel picked them specifically to be the face of Palestinian resistance in Gaza, and constantly paid them millions to keep them in power, while at the same time, brutally crushed any other groups who might have pushed for Palestinian rights.

There were a bunch of news articles shortly after Oct 7th talking about how Netanyahu’s “cash to Hamas” bribery for peace deal had blown up in his face, and no. It did not.

This has been the plan for decades. All Israel needed was an excuse and a somewhat friendly president who could ignore the US’ previous policy of paying lip service to a two-state solution.

I don’t know how it could be boring when the payoff to such a run is this song. Even so, that path is fucking dark.

A bucket list is usually “a list of things to do before you die” i.e. kick the bucket.

I can see how your use is correct, but it also doesn’t feel right, which is 90% of language.

To my ear, saying that Futurama is simply “on the list” just sounds better.

Another option would be saying that the show is in your backlog.

But, use bucket list enough, and sooner or later that will sound correct. Because that’s also how language works.

More than one test failed.

The Tesla failed the heavy rain and the heavy fog tests.

There’s zero excuse to fail either of those tests. But the Tesla killed the kid both times.

The wall test was just to show that the Tesla cannot put together optical clues.

The other two tests that the Tesla failed were more realistic. Heavy fog and heavy rain.

It failed both.

If your self driving car cannot handle weather, then it’s not self driving at all.

Actual lidar isn’t fooled by weather. Shitty optical only cameras are.

That hinges entirely on whomever holds the loan.

If it was one person, then no way. But it’s not just 1 person, it’s more than 100.

There are investment groups in that list, and ties to the Saudis and Russians.

The investment groups might be legally required to margin call if the stock price falls too far, but none of them will hold the full loan.

That sort of idea seems great when everyone is taking Pervitin all the time.

Pervitin, the brand name that Meth was originally sold under.
