- Comment on What is up with the trend of naming pets after food? 2 weeks ago:
It's been around for quite a while. Just a generic cutesy thing, I guess.
I couldn't tell you how many "Waffles"es I've met or known of. Pancake is another popular one. I've known a Cornbread, a Brisket, a Tater, a Porkchop, two Tacos (both fat orange cats)....
A more recent trend seems to be naming pets after Japanese foods. Mochi, Miso, Udon, Soba.... Or maybe it's more of an East Asian food thing because I've also known a Wonton, Sesame, Bamboo, Noodle(s). Gohan (Japanese again and may or may not be a food reference).

I thought it was the "girl" part since most women of reproductive age are on hormonal contraceptives.

And contraceptives and some antibiotics and antivirals and....
I like grapefruit, but I gave it up ages ago.

It's not substantially more difficult to make than it is to make packaged foods.

I needed that reminder. It doesn't matter how stupid a showerthought is.

You should introduce your son to Korean soups/stews. If he likes miso soup that much, he'll find some favorites in Korea as well. I'm especially partial to spicy doenjang jigae (a Korean miso stew--you can mostly use the ingredients recommended to add to the broth as suggestions and use whatever you like because it's all about the broth).
This is very similar to how I make it except that I use packaged dashi and usually use shellfish and leafy greens, sometimes noodles (udon or dangmyeon glass noodles): https://www.beyondkimchee.com/doenjang-jjigae/
It's easier than it sounds. Put dashi packet in water. Heat then remove. Add doenjang, gochujang, garlic and heat up/mix. Add solid ingredients of your choice and heat until cooked through. Add green onions (optional, I guess, but c'mon). Eat.
So good. Thank you, Korea.

TIL Canada has small blocks of tofu.
I've bought tofu in the US and in Japan and the standard block is the same size in both (approximately--400g in Japan; 14oz in the US). Can vary slightly by brand and it course smaller options are available, but that's the usual size for at least those two.

That's how it's been on my mbin instance (fedia.io) for a while now.
- Comment on Drug dealers hate this one weird trick! 3 weeks ago:
Same reason humans aren't supposed to eat the meat of fish high up in the food chain too often, like tuna. Mercury poisoning specifically in that case.

As someone with POTS, this sounds amazing.

I was just thinking of avalanche airbags. We have the technology!

If I may comment preemptively....
I'm a big fan of ellipses, but we must know their limits.

- Comment on Is it possible that the rich are so rich that they have created inflation? 3 weeks ago:
This doesn't sound like it's in disagreement.

Doesn't look like anything to me.
- Comment on Meet the Vitalists: the hardcore longevity enthusiasts who believe death is “wrong” 3 weeks ago:
“If you believe that life is good and there's inherent moral value to life,” he told them, “it stands to reason that the ultimate logical conclusion here is that we should try to extend lifespan indefinitely.”
Well, I certainly can't take this guy seriously.
- Comment on Amazon to Shut Down All Amazon Go and Amazon Fresh Stores 3 weeks ago:
What?
- Comment on Amazon to Shut Down All Amazon Go and Amazon Fresh Stores 3 weeks ago:
It was a response to other comments on that tech having shortcomings.
- Comment on Amazon to Shut Down All Amazon Go and Amazon Fresh Stores 3 weeks ago:
Right, but if they want to use this sort of tech, they should probably require baskets.
- Comment on Amazon to Shut Down All Amazon Go and Amazon Fresh Stores 3 weeks ago:
Just because there is prostitution doesn't mean it's sketchy. Sketchy generally means unsafe.
- Comment on New study: No-alcohol and low-alcohol beers, and dry pubs, are on the rise 3 weeks ago:
I've tried a couple of non-alcoholic gins. The best was "not terrible". I can understand a non-alcoholic beer or cider, but gin does not work.
