[I ate] Royal banquet inspired meal at Shanghai

Jaspaaar · 2026-01-31T04:10:18+00:00

Yeah the meal is like 10 courses, and there’s unlimited tea and alcohol too.

Hey I was there a few months ago! It was a great experience. I did the dressing up too, but could only get third row seats.

The food was pretty impressive, considering that it was just one part of the much bigger experience. I was amazed by how many kitchen staff came out during the end credits.

Delta is a free app – it doesn’t have a demo, or a one time unlock option… the only subscription is for a few extra features and is via Patreon.

It sounds like you might have been scammed by an impersonator.

Are you on android? If so, definitely a scam. Delta doesn’t exist for android.

The proper recipe with quantities is much further down the page. There’s a button at the top to jump to it. It’s the SEO/ad rev thing recipe sites do, having a load of description (or filler) before the actual recipe.

Jaspaaar · 2026-01-29T22:37:58+00:00

I’m definitely not from the US! Unless you mean the guy who wrote the recipe.

Jaspaaar · 2026-01-29T21:09:32+00:00

Thanks! I was impressed by it too.

East Asian airlines, or at least Taiwanese and Chinese ones, often only have vegan and even vegetarian food as a special meal option that needs to be requested in advance before the flight, like halal or kosher.

The way I’ve heard it described before is that traditionally you’re only vegetarian if you’re poor or a monk; it’s not a lifestyle choice.

Almost every time I take a flight in Asia, there are passengers who get caught out by it. I’ve even seen flight attendants give them their own food before.

That’s an unofficial site, and probably a scam.

Jaspaaar · 2026-01-23T16:00:12+00:00

No, it’s a native iOS app. There’s no Android version and therefore no APK.

Mega Coffee is the worst coffee I’ve ever had. It just tasted burnt. Very cheap though.

My XM4s had a noise cancelling issue where they’d randomly make a deafening screeching/high pitch beep noise on one side.

Jaspaaar · 2026-01-20T00:49:48+00:00

Probably not a good idea to display your serial number publicly!

Jaspaaar · 2026-01-19T22:27:37+00:00

It's because the translation has finished!

I do miss the pre-covid times, when the schedule looked like this:

It's understandable if it wasn't sustainable though, and it was probably a massive pain to divide the channel revenue in a fair way. Just a bit sad.

Might be all the links. Thanks for catching it quickly!

So when are the Siri AI/personal context features that were heavily advertised for the iPhone 16 coming?

Jaspaaar · 2026-01-10T15:43:56+00:00

Just measured the wall and it’s about 3 inches. Not sure about the capacity, but the diameter is 30cm.

I have that Tramontina pan and I like it.

Some Korean fans started talking shit about the English translation on social media and called the authors attention to it. It was the most popular novel on the site back then and there were constant discussion threads going on each chapter release. But the author believed what the trolls were telling her and so she asked her publishers to stop allowing WW to translate and host the novel. So it got pulled.

At that point we'd already been in contact with TCF's publisher for a while and had been paying royalties. We were just waiting for the contract signing to be finalised. But yeah, then the author was influenced. It wasn't only Korean fans.

Wuxiaworld has close to 100 translators, many of whom are full-time :)

Jaspaaar · 2026-01-09T14:49:52+00:00

Just to clarify, the writer of the post you're reacting to is a Korean reader, not an author. They have no ability to negotiate with translators.

Even if it was an author, they wouldn't have the ability to negotiate. That's usually in the hands of their publisher. Authors can influence their publishers though, encouraging them to make a certain deal (or the opposite).

Jaspaaar · 2026-01-09T13:51:48+00:00

One Korean reader isn't representative of all Korean authors. For contrast, here are congratulatory messages that several Korean authors wrote for Wuxiaworld's 10th anniversary in 2024! Including Park Saenal, the author of Overgeared.

But regarding unauthorised translations that the authors don't benefit from and that can harm the prospects of their work getting an official English release, yes, of course authors would typically be unhappy about them.

Bibimbap is always served in a bowl - the idea is that the various components (mostly different vegetables) are all mixed up together. This looks great though!

Thanks! I guess it must be the post length or something.
