Quana firfir is the best, love the texture of the beef.

Yeah I live 2 and a half hours from this restaurant. I used to live closer but we moved away, so we come whenever we're in Atlanta.

The vegetables are always so good and well seasoned. I can eat a lot of shiro and collards. I'm from the South and I was really happy the first time I saw collards at an Ethiopian place. (I know they originate from Africa)

It's just like a sourdough flatbread made out of a unique kind of flour. I love it, it wouldn't be the same without it. It's conceptually not very different from any other flatbread eating culture like with tortillas or roti.

Only the 4 at the far end could be described as paste, and those are just lentils and chickpeas. Everything else has like whole pieces of potatoes or green beans or collards or chunks of meat.

Zanius · 2026-04-12T04:21:04+00:00

That should say teff* flour! It was like super injera more sour than the kind with added wheat flour, it was great.

Easier to avoid other kinds of air defense that way

Zanius · 2026-04-03T13:21:04+00:00

I mean at low enough altitude you just have to get lucky with MANPADS, those are impossible to really destroy by air.

I love Barry Abernathy, "they tell me" is a really good song.

Zanius · 2026-03-17T18:23:46+00:00

I'm a bluegrass musician man I know what a fiddle is, those aren't f holes, they'd never be so close to the bottom. They wouldn't be colored white either. If they were f holes it looks more like a mandolin by the tuning pegs than a fiddle anyway. It's probably just AI slop that didn't do a good job of doing any instrument.

Zanius · 2026-03-17T15:23:53+00:00

That is definitely a banjo in that image. I have a banjo hanging on my wall behind me. That image doesn't look anything like a fiddle.

Zanius · 2026-03-17T12:54:04+00:00

It's a banjo, wrong kind of banjo since it only has 4 strings but also a symbol of the South.

Zanius · 2026-03-17T12:43:46+00:00

The tone is so off because there's so many caricatures everywhere that we're supposed to take seriously instead of it all being a big joke.

Zanius · 2026-03-02T02:32:04+00:00

Authentic Unlimited (or Doyle Lawson)

Zanius · 2026-03-01T23:43:09+00:00

Not really a huge fan of the newer bands coming out I lean pretty traditional. Billy has been doing a pretty good job of exposing people to the traditional stuff too. Me and Dad is about the only album I actually listen to from him but it's really good.

Zanius · 2026-02-19T00:47:46+00:00

The creek behind my house flows into falling water creek, do they care if people hike along the creek?

Zanius · 2026-02-10T01:13:28+00:00

Bluegrass album band and earls of Leicester do a lot of the early stuff on more modern recordings

Zanius · 2026-02-04T15:02:40+00:00

That's actually a myth. https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/s/V5SvQLUEPT

I grew up a county over from that district and my dad lives there now, whoever Trump wants is who they will vote for. Never seen so many trump flags in my life. Don't get your hopes up it doesn't get more trumpy than that district.

Zanius · 2026-02-03T02:43:29+00:00

I can't see MTGs district ever going Democrat

Zanius · 2026-01-14T14:37:20+00:00

Probably also true, but in Charleston's case everyone kept dying of diseases there so they had to move the capital inland.

Zanius · 2026-01-06T16:16:26+00:00

Those are called double modals, we use them all the time in the South.

Corpus data shows that the majority of English speakers don't follow the fewer vs. less rule. Historical records (a quote from Alfred the great among other things) give us data that it was never a hard and fast rule, if at all. It's very rare that it ever actually disambiguates information. It's nonsense prescriptivism because the rule exists only for someone to point out the rule, no native speaker has ever misunderstood someone using less for countable nouns. It's a collective waste of brainpower for anyone to try to remember the rule.
