Beginners mistake, you should always wield a semi when doing this.
- Comment on Are we truely prisoners of our upbringing? 1 week ago:
In my view and understanding, genes define the potential, environment defines the realization. I mean environment in a broader sense though, I read some time ago that for teens the friend group has a bigger influence than the parents, who's impact on development is close to zero at that point.

I don't think I've ever had bad food in Germany. In England my limited experience is mixed, some good, some bad and some interesting lunch choices like salted peanuts.

The fish is not raw, it's gibbed and cured. It's also eaten a lot in Germany and Scandinavia.
Also, we have vla in the Netherlands, and mustard soup! And we frown at people calling kale a super food, because it is considered one of the most generic winter foods over here.
- Comment on Transliterated country names into Chinese Language use pre-existing characters that already has its own meaning, therefore native Chinese speakers have a subconcious impression based on country names. 3 weeks ago:
Nederland and Netherlands both mean low country? Low as in Lower Rhine. It has an origin in the Roman name "Germania Inferior".

There are multiple vaccins against shingles, and I can't find which one was used in this study. Does anyone here know which it was?
- Comment on When you wake up, how long does it take for your brain's "OS" to "resume from hibernation"? 1 month ago:
How would you measure the time it takes to wake up without somehow monitoring brain activity externally? I mean, you start sleeping, so at best a dodgy perception of time, and at some point in time you're awake. For me it would be impossible to tell the time it takes, might be a second, might be an hour.

The stupid thing is, there were already talks about moving away from the blackface. Of course the people at the television stations (who could make this happen) took their time, which caused the people of "kick out zwarte Piet' to make a stir. So far nothing wrong, but they did this at the televized arrival of Sinterklaas, so now they had crying children on tv. This caused the "all brown people back to Morocco" crowd to scream outrage, and suddenly we are at the current stage with two very vocal groups screaming at each other.
My kids were still in the believing age when this started, and I never had a problem explaining the issues and the changes to them (Piet used to come through the chimney, when this wasn't possible anymore he painted his face black to look the same, but now he realized this looks like blackface). The right wing voters had problems explaining, because they didn't want to, and now they see it as a defeat by the "others". Throw in some politicians who can only fare well if there's disorder, and suddenly it takes over twenty years to phase out something that should have been gone a long time ago.

Come to the Netherlands, we have layers on this since Santa Claus is Coca Cola's take on our Sinterklaas, who is usually acompanied by "six to eight black men" (more commonly known as "zwarte Piet", black Pete). he was was taken to the US by Dutch immigrants, after which it evolved in the current Santa Claus. And it gets worse, because while it has alway been a bit of a battle between team Sinterklaas and team Santa Claus, the last twenty years or so there is a different battle going on between team "Dutch tradition" and team "kick out zwarte Piet". Both of these last two teams are obnoxious, and would choose confrontation over dialogue every day of the week. This has resulted in a conflict with no end, where it would have been easy to phase out the blackface character with no fuss in a short time.

TIL, thank you. It indeed makes perfect sense that it would help for this.

Better for the teeth than pH neutral? Nope. For heartburn it might help, but only for a real short time. Non-fat milk would probably be the better choice.
