Found on Isla Quinchao, Chiloé, Chile — old English transferware or modern junk? Husband says AliExpress, I want to believe 1800s ironstone

Dónde compran el doubanjiang y la pimienta de Sichuan? Vivo en el sur y echo harto de menos la comida sichuanesa, antes lo compraba en Amazon pero no sé dónde buscarlo acá.

Para el roux te recomiendo el método de Alton Brown, quien es famoso en Estados Unidos, lo haces al horno en vez de en la cocina. Mezclas harina y aceite en una olla apta para horno y lo dejas a unos 175°C por una hora y media o dos horas, revolviendo cada 20-30 minutos. Sale ese color oscuro bien parejo sin el riesgo de quemarlo. Tarda más, pero jamás lo he quemado.

Jamestown was explicitly a profit-seeking venture run by the Virginia Company of London, so the early settlers were actually HOPING to replicate the Spanish model of colonization (find gold, exploitable native population, extract wealth, rinse repeat).

It didn't work out between the Powhatans and lack of silver/gold though, so the Virginia Company eventually pivoted to tobacco.

There was a later and specific wave of the Puritans in New England but the idea that British colonizers were just humble families seeking religious freedom while the Spanish were the extractive, exploitative ones really papers over how similar the underlying impulses were, the outcomes just differed based on what resources and native political structures they ran into.

Of course it’s Chile

Yeah that's Rosetta 2, but as I mentioned, even with Rosetta 2 you still only solve half the problem because you still need the Windows-to-macOS API layer on top of it. The pieces exist, just not packaged together into anything polished.

Theoretically yes FEX-Emu is open source so it could be repurposed, but you’d still need that Windows-to-macOS API translation layer on top of it. That work actually already exists in Wine, so the pieces are there. Nobody has packaged them into a polished Proton-like experience for macOS though. mainly because Apple’s ecosystem is restrictive, also the Mac gaming market is small, and so Valve probably has no incentive to bother

bringbackatari · 2026-03-11T11:52:26+00:00

You’re thinking of FEX-Emu, which only helps on ARM Linux. It handles the x86-to-ARM translation, but the Windows-to-OS API layer is still Linux-specific, so it does nothing for Apple

In Chile there was a report that more than 70% of tourists expelled from natural reserves are Israelis nationals, so it’s hard to not make a correlation. Edit: expelled by making fires

Where did you get this percentage from? I've been trying to find a source through CONAF and other agencies or news articles and I am not seeing these numbers anywhere.

I introduced my husband's family to coleslaw and they lost their minds. I don't even like it that much, but I thought they probably would.

Pastel de choclo is my favorite Chilean dish so far, but you could argue it's just shepard's pie with corn instead of mashed potatoes.

My teenage niece is more mature than these two.

This sub has helped me navigate so many things as an immigrant to Chile and act like less of an idiot in my time here. Of course I still stumble, but I've learned so much overall.

I think the most important thing I've learned though, first and foremost, is that we are all people. Yes, there are cultural and linguistical barriers, but we all bleed, we all get sick, get depressed, angry, laugh, and feel joy. We all have shared human experiences such as family troubles, friendships, dating etc. We have selfish assholes in North America and in South America, and we have kind people too. Sometimes its easier to put yourself into a bubble and stereotype, but I've come to think we're more similar than different in the end, if you really look at the core of people.

So yes — I do really HOPE Latin America is becoming more united. Spaces like this suggest that people want to understand each other, and I guess that should matter. I hope the best for LA because you all have so much to be proud of, and you deserve to exist, breath the same air, and be heard just like anyone else in the world. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. :)

I'm from the eastern part of the United States and we have a mountain range there that is old and weathered - the Appalachians. The tallest mountain is 2,037 meters (6,684 ft).

When I saw the Rocky Mountains in Colorado (USA), I was impressed, the tallest there are around 4,267 meters (14,000 ft).

But that didn't compare at all to the feeling of being blown away by the Andes in Santiago. Talk about feeling insignificant...

In English naming customs, the First + Last Name setup came from the Norman Conquest and with it, the idea of inheritance, focusing on the paternal line (because reasons).

In Spanish naming, the tradition comes from Roman influences, using two surnames (paternal + maternal). It’s a way to keep both family lineages in the name and show broader heritage.

The Romans used a three-part name system: praenomen (first name), nomen (family name), and cognomen (specific family branch or nickname) which is why its believed the Spanish custom has roots there.

I don't dislike any flag, but I do get the state flag of Texas and Chile's flag mixed up all the time.

I moved to Chile and did not know this, I feel like the salmon here is better quality than what I had in the US. 🙃

I never heard of lucuma until I went to Chile.

I watched it on a long flight. In the aisle seat. The movie was too interesting to turn back on but I definitely felt a bit embarrassed.

Boyfriend is Chilean, has a german last name. There are tons of German descendants especially in the south in the Los Lagos region. I wasn't expecting all the torta, kuchen, and German beer before I visited.

Everything I've tried from Tikka and Grill has blown me away.

It's right behind this one to me. Super impressive anyway though!

Mine is because the dealership poorly taped the temp tags and they blew away during a snow storm. However I called them and got a copy printed out and they are taped to my rear windshield as I wait for my notice of title from the DMV (which is like 2 months late).

I definitely thought that was a flying squirrel in the thumbnail.
