- Comment on Japan births in 2024 fell below 700,000 for first time 53 minutes ago:
Is that true throughout the country? One of my friends lived in the inaka and I was under the impression he got a halfway decent amount for each of his kids every month, and both he and his wife worked.
- Comment on How strong is fermented bean curd supposed to taste exactly? 18 hours ago:
I like natto but I never would’ve considered blue cheese as an analogous taste. It’s like beans but more earthy, and if textures are an issue for you it might be a little hard to take. Keep in mind that you don’t have to stir it up and get it really frothy like some people do though.
A lot of people eat it over rice but I like it just on a spoon. I usually add a bit of spicy mustard and a small bit of tare sauce (the natto packs are often sold with tiny packets of mustard and tare included).

- Comment on What a mess 1 day ago:
Mythology isn’t a problem. The issue is convincing huge swaths of a population to believe mythology is true.

At least one polygraph works, but it’s a sentient machine with an evil plan to destroy the world.

- Comment on Where does technology come from in Star Wars? 1 week ago:
I’m less familiar with old Trek (TOS), so maybe it’s an unfair comparison, but the slapstick elements of percussive maintenance in SW seem wildly less serious than the types of repairs happening in say TNG. I can’t think of a time Geordi had an mechanical problem he couldn’t figure out and smacked it to get it working again.

It’s one thing to not understand your car alternator when you can call a tow truck, and quite another when you’re traveling light years in interplanetary space. Plus we do see things getting fixed, but it’s never in detail. In Star Trek you get plausible technobabble: “We can’t go to warp because all the relays are blown on the nacelles, and it’ll take at least 4 hours to replace them.” In SW you get “We can’t go to light speed for some undefined reason. Let’s watch Chewie moan angrily while smacking something with a wrench, then R2 shoves something in a hole and gets blown across the room via electric shock. And now the hyperdrive works.”

I think I read somewhere that during the filming for the original trilogy scenes they read Chewie’s lines in English so the actors would know what they were reacting to. Not sure if it was the same for R2

Not sure about the UK, but the prep school circuit in the US gives a bump for getting into elite universities, and the connections made there can be just as lucrative as the ones in colleges.

All mammals lay eggs. Most of them just lay eggs inside themselves.

- Comment on Wait, that game is still playable online? 1 week ago:
I’m pretty sure you can still find people playing Doom deathmatch online, although these days it might be more limited to various events rather than finding random folks online any given day. The modding community is still going strong after 30 years though

I’d guess most people tend to tie grannies rather than squares just because you tend to repeat which hand is wrapping which strand over the other.

I always assumed it was close to scalding, like to the point where an adult (or a bear) would be able to blow on it a few times and eat it, but Goldilocks being a dumb child was just burning her tongue.
- Comment on YouTube's new ad strategy is bound to upset users: YouTube Peak Points utilise Gemini to identify moments where users will be most engaged, so advertisers can place ads at the point. 2 weeks ago:
I don’t have ios but I ran across this at some point trying to find a yt app for a friend. Been awhile since the last update so I’m not sure if it’s still effective and I can’t test it
