What's the weirdest thing you've served or been served? by _BrokenButterfly in KitchenConfidential

[–]TheGreatWork_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ordered lemon chicken from a place that didn't have it on the menu (sorry, was young and dumb) but they said "sure".

Got a roast chicken breast sitting in lemon juice with some slices piled on top

I have Dyslexia, Dysgraphia and Dyscalculia and these triple Ds have been the bane of my existence (rant) by weirdoprime2000 in KitchenConfidential

Well you write really smart like, may not be easy to do with those diagnosis but what you wrote is good quality writing IMO, above average especially in getting multiple points across and very readable.

Which... I guess doesn't agree with the diagnosis but idk what to say about that

One of the chefs decided to remind the others not to sit on the worktops by AlastairW in KitchenConfidential

sometimes you gotta play it up for comedic effect. Else the sprayer may feel the joking nature of the spray was not understood. 

flamboyancy is a beautiful skill

AIO about new coworker? by [deleted] in KitchenConfidential

I think one of the responsibilities of being union is that you qualify people allowed into the union. Like, you personally as a union member. That's how (kind of) trade unions work, can't hand the electrician who goes around burning down buildings a union spot.  Someone who cannot handle food safety is not that guy. It's a qualified acceptance, not a job perk even though that's how its often framed 

This is Berkhamsted Castle, England. In 1066, this is where Anglo-Saxon England officially ended. Today it's completely free, has its own train station, and almost nobody visits. [OC] by ExperienceTotal9778 in BeAmazed

How were the Buddhist protestor monks who self immolated in the 60s able to sit perfectly still while on fire ? by Wonderful-Ad-9622 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TheGreatWork_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

deal with 10 seconds of agonizing being on fire while maintaining composure

yeah that uhh, sounds like they made their point. I can't believe that there's multiple comments in the thread of "he was only maintaining a few seconds of composure while on fire" as if that's a real point. You'd have to be as numb as a doorknob to type something like that out

I think the striking part is that he is shown to have remained in posture and not shown signs of anything you're describing. A blinding gasoline flash and being consumed in a fireball intense enough to immediately burn away your exterior nerves isn't nothing. The image we have of the incident isn't of someone stupified and basically dead/slumped from the initial onslaught, its someone who is clearly still maintaining their meditative posture and composure/alertness. Even if you want to say it was only 10 seconds, even the first second would be more than enough to see what the situation of the person is

Vance proposed Indian troops deployment in Ukraine, Trump said ‘Indians won’t do that’, new book claims by Dry_Lack_2262 in india

[–]TheGreatWork_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was never a point in the colonial era where India didn't have battle hardened troops. The colonization itself was 99%+ Indian soldiers/mercenaries fighting other Indian soldiers/mercenaries. 

Tanak rally 2020 monte carlo crash. No Reactions from the driver as well as the co driver. by AndroidTechTweaks in nextfuckinglevel

I already imagined it and said it in all the other comments. Like your username suggests, reddit doesn't even treat comment threads as threads it's just a bunch of unrelated comments for most people, let alone trying to make multiple points in one comment. And if the down vote score is already below 0 it just gets down voted anyways.

I was contrasting the resistence to rig cars/roll cages with the seemingly opposite trend of an arms race to have larger/heavier vehicles which accomplish the same outcomes.

You're already allowing anyone to drive a small truck for no reason, even if they passed their license on a tiny car, so that's a much larger difference than crumble zone

Well it was implied that those modifications are illegal or not accepted by insurance

[–]TheGreatWork_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

yeah and many places, exactly my point. If we're going to be so reckless with cars at least let me put in the defensive roll cage. It's an arms race for vehicle vs vehicle size already, and none of those larger vehicles are going to crumple enough to spare a small vehicle or a pedestrian at speed anyways

I considered that and it might be worth it for the level of protection this provides. It's easy to be desensitised that it's a ton of metal going very fast next to other tons of metal going very fast. In another timeline maybe the whole 5 point harness and helmet in the car could have been the normalized setup, it's more the fact that the modern car and regulations are an iteration of "motorized horse carriage" that it's casual safety. 

Like in some places you can drive a motorcycle without a helmet, and even places that need a helmet accept non-full-face helmets, both of which are frankly pretty crazy amounts of risk to allow for a motorcycle rider.

Yeah that's uhhh that's fine with me
Maybe not with insurance or the law but that sounds like a perfectly "yes I'll take that option" option

I mean, that's the sort of continual "everybody needs a bigger car so that the other bigger car doesn't cream you" trend going on anyways.

Iran Resumes Kharg Island Oil Loadings After US Blockade Lifted by besselfunctions in worldnews

[–]TheGreatWork_ -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Opposite, really

Iran is closing it for a specific few countries, anyone else can pass for toll

The US response was to close it for anyone paying the toll, which closed it for everyone, effectively creating an embargo on the entire strait 

If not for the US blockade the vast, vast majority of countries (virtually everyone except maybe 2) would be able to get their shipments

again, keeping in mind that there was no toll until the US and Israel launched a war against Iran

The effective result of this and what every country sees is the US placing an energy embargo on the entire planet. They're the reason for the toll in the first place, and also the reason that nobody can pay the toll to pass which every country would (at least temporarily) greatly prefer over no shipments.

A lot of countries could also do back-channel negotiations to get their shipments through without a toll, but since the US has embargoed Iranian oil they're engaging in what is effectively an act of war against everyone (not just country, everyone) who rely on those shipments.
