We need a formalised taxonomical nomenclature to properly discuss cuisine

@raintrees Yeah, I didn't realise it has been around for so long!

@jezza Do you have container for me to put it in? 😬

I don't know if taking the dip containers at a restaurant or is actually stealing or not but it does remind me that if they don't want me to take them they really should give me a way to take my dip home.

This was originally composed as a speech-to-text note ending with "…take my dick home"

I am once again reminded that while stats about people joining a religion are interesting, in the case of religions that push the idea of some post-death benefits to those in the right state at death, stats on the number of followers dying would be more beneficial to see if you want to show how well a religion is doing over time at propagating their message.

@jezza I guess I'm not old enough or have enough bad experiences with young people in the neighbourhood yet haha

@vandys Here in Alberta 🇨🇦 at least, all property owners pay the education property tax. The rate is the same no matter where you are.

I don't think I'd want to live in a "55+ community" or something like that when I'm older. I don't see why I'd want to exclude the young whippersnappers.

@mike Oh, basic mode seems like a good selling point (weirdly enough)!

So many idioms are based on normal aspects of life when the expression was coined, but are still in use after that thing is no longer normal.

What are some expressions that you grew up with that made sense at the time, but your kids and grandkids will not understand without it being explained to them? "Stay tuned" comes to mind.

@jezza Aha, my comic-reading system brought me this just now. Very perfect.

TIL “lactose free” products—those ones with added lactase—are actually lactose free because the lactase did its thing before you drank it. I was unsure if that was the case or if the added lactase did the job when you consume it.
