Yeah our “Chinese” places usually just do chicken in a bunch of ways that may or may not be from Asia.
Chicken with Broccoli, Chicken and snow peas or mixed vegetables, Moo Goo Gai Pan, Curry Chicken, Szechuan Chicken, Mongolian Chicken, Kung Pao, Chicken with Cashews, Hunan with black bean sauce, hot and spicy, black pepper w/ onion, Coconut, sweet and sour, lemon, honey, sesame, Bourbon, Orange, General Tsos.
Is it Chinese, no. The people making it know, the people eating it know, but if they called it “Chicken Many ways” then you wouldn’t know they sold dumplings, pork and what not, lol.

Yeah, the U.S. has something like 140,000 miles of railroads, 14x that of of a country like the UK, but because the U.S. is so massive, it is just inconvenient for most travelers, so it gets used mostly for freight shipping. (Also most of it is not high speed rails, so for many, it doesn’t make the trip for efficient time and or price wise, knowing they will likely still need to rent a car when they get to their destination)

And those unsavory people definitely can’t stay at my place, because I’ve got the 3rd amendment
- Comment on I saw your face in a crowded place 2 days ago:
Chicago is fairly well known for having trains as well. That said, I’ve never lived somewhere in the U.S. where you wouldn’t hear train horns at some point usually freight, but transport does happen as well. Dropped someone off at the train station in Nashville so they could go visit family in Michigan a little while back

Step one of leaving a light on for a month might be a big hole in this plan those days. Electricity diff would be like a dollar or 2 at worst because bulbs are like 12 watts now. If the temperature went up by a couple degrees one day the AC would make it fluctuate more than that and you wouldn’t even notice on a bill
- Comment on PROTIP 6 days ago:
Yeah, especially 16-18 when I was working, I usually always had a pocket knife or multi tool on me because they would come in handy. That said, we didn’t have metal detectors or strange prison like school like we do now apparently.

I think the way Lemmy / PieFed are set up you can’t inherently “follow” someone like a feed. PieFed being an article posting site (?) Like Lemmy they support each other right away. So posts on that platform while written in another programming language, still mesh and show.
- Comment on i mean 1 week ago:
Is that a real controller? I was wondering what they even labeled all the buttons, and got LB LT MU?
On the right it’s labeled RB, RT, M2, which means to me it should say M1 on the left, but I would have assumed RM and LM would have made more sense?
- Comment on My poor tapeworm 1 week ago:
No idea, check with your doctor if you get a tapeworm lol, id assume it’s different for everyone and size/growth age as well.
It’s like “tobacco is the number 1 cause of lung cancer”
But if you exclude tobacco from the product, the results are the same/similar. (Shown in many studies tied to vapes)… Which means tobacco likely isn’t the root origin, it’s just foreign material in the lungs giving cardiovascular issues.
I couldn’t prove pumpkin seeds have no effect or great effect, I’m a food on the Internet
- Comment on My poor tapeworm 1 week ago:
I always wondered why people atr pumpkin seeds, then I found out one day they are natural dewormers when I was checking if my chickens could eat pumpkins. Turns out it works for humans as well
- Comment on Western Digital details 14-platter 3.5-inch HAMR HDD designs with 140 TB and beyond 1 week ago:
I remember Mac OS X having an issue with its mail app while back that would create massive log files continuously that would keep generating until they filled the entire drive. You would have to boot to a recovery partition or such because the OS wouldn’t have enough room to expand/boot and remove them and fix the issue.
Imagine having 130 terabytes of invisible log files

I do remember when I was a kid wondering what happened, then remembered I had a slurpee.

I never remember what I ate last night for dinner, unless I’ve had corn

Langrage.
Kind of just the kitchen sink of whatever the fuck you had around. Often used by pirates because at close range when attempting to board you can shred a lot more people and also do a lot of damage to sails in quick time
- Comment on FBI Couldn’t Get into WaPo Reporter’s iPhone Because It Had Lockdown Mode Enabled 1 week ago:
Did a lot of looking into it, step 1 for me was always buy a different phone, or try seeing if a different ROM would work, and make the documentation for others…none of which came out to be 5 clicks, and not knowing if my phone will receive calls is a deal breaker if you actually work.
- Comment on "A hill I'm willing to die on" is a weird phrase for what it means. 1 week ago:
I remember when I went from middle school to highschool the girl I was fond of at the time was zoned to go to a different school than I and we were sad about it. There was a bus stop for my school that stopped on the other side of the street from her house, so like 50 feet from her front door. Instead she had to walk 3 streets over to get to a bus that took her to another school. Zoning and buses were always a pain. The only way she could have gotten into our school was by saying she wanted to go for the magnet program or something… but the magnet program for our school was fucking radio broadcasting… So not a feasible excuse for her to use.

Yeah bus drivers are fun, I had one that got suspended when they found out he got 3 speeding tickets driving us to school one year. I guess it isn’t a direct cops report it to the school, an elementary school student has to tell their parents and the parents have to say something to the school before they realized lol
- Comment on You're closest friends always want you to be smiling and happy 1 week ago:
It is no longer an emotion for them, they have become it.
- Comment on Twice the rejection 1 week ago:
For many that is probably true. For others who are hopeless romantics, we run 40 hour a week jobs from 16-18 while balancing a girl friend, trying to run through courses and turn out decent grades and a social life going into college while averaging 4 hours sleep a night. It’s fun at the time, but I really wish I would have learned more about taking time for myself and planning out next steps for myself as opposed to just thrusting into as many syllabus hours, while balancing it all going into college. I didn’t do bad at the University I went to, but really if I learned to step back and not be facing every challenge at the last minute all the time I think it would have prepped me for planning more of what to do with my time when I’m out of college.
Like get a Job, sure that’s a requirement… But that isn’t a career to me. A career is planned things you strive for and goals set by yourself to make sure you want to land yourself.
When the courses are done, the hours worked, the goals met. I never learned how to properly make my own goals, just how to followed boring structural requirements… Because you’re told you have too. And if you don’t come from money, you can’t exactly just get a loan to start a company or buy a house because you have a degree… You are 10’s of thousands in student loan debt. So you enter a dead end job otherwise you can’t pay the rent, and maintain a relationship, help your family, or whatever other obligations you feel you have.
- Comment on Twice the rejection 1 week ago:
The better advice for me would have been not get in relationships for much of my younger years. Sub 18 year relationships only really were distractions. Fun though

I just had to look up what a 5th point harness was, we didn’t have seatbelts on school buses most of the time. If we did, they were usually one strap that covered the entire bench for multiple people.
How are you guys supposed to hit your head on the roof going over a speed bump with harnesses like that?

Probably a 9-5 that mostly benefits some executives and shareholders rather than ourselves
- Comment on what is good remote desktop software? 2 weeks ago:
May I ask a bit more?
Can you launch on system start up as opposed to user, yes in my experience.
Can you login when the machine has not yet been logged in, yes in my experience so long as the program is launched by the system as a service and not a user login option.
If the machine has multiple monitors, you may need to test, as I standardly use a phone (android) to remote to my desktop/laptop seveer environments where I can individually choose a monitor if they have more than 1 I believe, but having one screen on the phone, I don’t view both at the same time… nor would it be convenient…
It’s a free 2 minute try it out really. The uninstall if you don’t like. If you really like it maybe consider hosting your own. But otherwise you can use it from their severs for free and it will remember your recent connections and passwords if you want on your local device…
I feel like a salesperson for a free product lol
- Comment on what is good remote desktop software? 2 weeks ago:
Exactly how I found it. Looking for open-source TeamViewer essentially.
Works very well for the tasks I throw at it. Hosting it yourself is easy as well
- Comment on what is good remote desktop software? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah I suppose I should have said what I’ve used it for but I think I’ve only really used it for Android, Linux, and I think I may have put it on Windows once, not sure. Overall I run into few circumstances I’ve ever needed to go the machine, usually it’s tied to bios/driver issues on the laptop I use for a server, not Rust issues
- Comment on what is good remote desktop software? 2 weeks ago:
I use RustDesk because it’s good enough. It may not work for everything, but it is open source and has suited my needs.
I have it launch on boot in Mint and it works fine
