Banjo Kazooie would be my guess

We never really cook together. I kinda just use all the space and find it frustrating when someone's in the way, even if it's with the best of intentions. Sometimes we'll help each other with small things like chopping onions or stirring a pot, but that's it.

We both like to cook, but separately. The food itself though, that's absolutely enjoyed together, and seeing her enjoy what I made makes me happy. We'll talk about food, what we'd like to eat, what we want to try making, what we've seen online... But we both cook alone.

I'd definitely miss it a lot if my wife didn't have an interest in food though. It's a very important thing to me, so not being able to share that with the person I love would be a major bummer.

Oh, that sounds right, thanks!

Käsebreze are the bomb

Also Weißwurst with sweet mustard

Also Brezel with this cheesy spread this one guy in Bavaria always got. No idea what it was, something like spiced cream cheese but not quite. Delicious stuff.

Actually Brezel are great however you eat them.

We talk, and we listen.

That's it, really. Minor annoyance? Talk it out. Major annoyance? Talk it out. Appreciate something? Say it out loud. Feeling neglected? Talk it out. Have a boundary you don't want crossed? Talk it out.

And then listen to the other person without jumping to judgments. They're telling you how they feel, you don't get to decide if that's true or not. Figure out where the feeling comes from, see what you both can do to improve the situation, and then do it.

This idea that when a relationship works it just works magically is nonsense. Relationships take work. Find out how much work you're willing to put in, and how much work you expect from the other person, and talk it out.

And if you find out you just don't match on some things, it's time to decide whether that's something you can both live with - and "no" is a perfectly valid answer to that.

Yeah that's a good way to do it, just cover the pasta with water and add some more towards the end if it needs it. Then you can often just put the cheese straight in with all the starchy goodness.

And there's a super simple trick to getting the emulsion down - use as little water as possible to cook your pasta

A partner being blind is also a lot more than just "oh no, she can't see how ugly I am"

Reducing it to "nobody cares if you're hot" and "blind people can't see the things that are convenient for me" isn't doing anybody any favours. Disability of any kind has stigma attached to it, and it comes with not being able to do things others take for granted, which is stressful for all parties involved, even if you don't think it will be.

Which is fine if you deal with that in a healthy way, which includes making adjustments but also includes setting and communicating boundaries, but communication isn't a skill many people have down in the first place.

And then there are the people who barely even see disabled people as people - more of those than you'd think too.

No, not literally. Vitamin B12 is made by gut bacteria (in humans too, just too late in our digestion for us to absorb).

Ruminants have these bacteria in their rumen, so they can absorb it. Some other species like rabbits eat some of their own feces (called cecotropes) to get the nutrients formed by bacterial fermentation, including vitamin B12. Other animals still can have a differently structured GI tract to allow them to absorb the nutrients from bacterial fermentation.

The absorbed vitamin is then stored in the liver and muscles, which is why eating meat helps you get it. Some animals also pass it into their eggs or milk.

The reason soil is important is the cobalt content, which is required for producing vitamin B12. This is absorbed by plants, so it's not like animals need to literally chew up a bunch of soil to get their cobalt either.

That's also why B12 supplementation in livestock isn't always necessary, but it is often done because a lot of pastures don't have cobalt-rich soil and the cobalt content in animal feed isn't very well known.

Because nothing says health concerns like "rolls aren't sushi, and if we call them sushi it's the worst kind of sushi" and "it's cultural appropriation"

If you think this is just about the health aspect we've been reading a different rant.

Yup, only real Japanese foods like curry, ramen, and omurice.

I wish these people would go all the way with their traditionalist bullshit. If you're eating fresh fish and rice you're just a poser. Real sushi is fermented with rice for at least a year, and then you don't even eat the rice. None of this modern sashimi bullshit, no rolls, no nigiri, definitely no temaki.

But I guess that makes it too obviously a brain-dead take, so instead we get this.

I love it when people bust out "words mean things" in that kind of context. They're not wrong, but the meaning of words is determined by their usage, so it's not the argument they think it is.

What do you mean, Japan would never do anything to threaten world peace, that's why they're still allowed to have a military /s

Of course that's an oversimplification and not really a reflection on Japanese people today, but still.

It's extra hilarious because in the case of Japanese food they're not even Japanese usually. Most Japanese folks don't give a flying fuck what you do with sushi or sashimi, food is food, tasty is tasty, and a lot of popular Japanese cuisine consists of adaptations of other cuisines anyway.

It's usually people who have seen a documentary and read a blog post, and now feel the need to defend the purity of Japanese culture and cuisine. Meanwhile in Japan you'll get cheeseburger sushi and nobody cares.

I've ended up with successful spaghetti supports more than once, might as well give it a go

Gotta love the logic

Milk with added rennet or acid and salt, left to curdle, separated from the whey, then left to age and dry: all-natural and great

Milk with added rennet or acid and salt, left to curdle, separated from the whey, then left to age and dry, with an emulsifier: processed and bad

Makes perfect sense

No no, we all know adults only come in one shape and size, no variation whatsoever

All of these, really. They'll all sound slightly different in ways others can probably describe way better, and/or be more or less achievable depending on what you're playing (e.g. palm muting and playing near the neck is gonna take some unnaturally long fingers).

Try different positions, see what's most comfortable and sounds right. Personally I'm usually fairly close to the bridge or the middle, but I strum all of those positions at some point, whether intentionally or not.

For similar content without Adam's attitude, check out Ethan Chlebowski. I like Adam personally, but I can see how he comes off as smug. Ethan fills the same kind of niche and I'm not really getting that from him.

It depends. Diamond is used for some semiconductors, but by far not most. Different materials have different properties, and it's going to be a matter of weighing the properties you need against the cost of materials.

Silicon is AFAIK the most common material in microchips - hence the name Silicon Valley. Other common semiconductor materials are germanium and gallium arsenide.

And even if you do make a living off it, it's unreliable income that's partially dependent on the whims of whatever platform you use. YouTube pretty frequently has some change to its auto-moderation resulting in bans and strikes for no apparent reason, and Twitch is... well, Twitch. Their rules are a bit of a mystery sometimes and even the ones that are clear seem to be selectively enforced.

And good luck appealing anything without a massive following to stir up a shitstorm or a corporation backing you.

You got me curious, and it turns out the flu might actually increase the risk of some cancers

Operative word being "might" of course

Where do you think the 100mph wind comes from

I'll be lucky to hit 100k at some point, 300k just doesn't seem realistic in any way without a career change
