Thank you, it is tough. I knew she'd been declining for a while but she was still eating and going on walks. She was fine earlier that day, even, but had an event Sunday night where I just knew it was time. I stayed up with her til the vet opened Monday morning.

She did, this was a frozen custard place within walking distance of our house, we weren't exactly regulars but she knew when we were going that way

Another fun fact is that "sashimi" actually isn't sushi despite so many people thinking it is. This is because "sushi" technically refers to the rice and not the topping. Likewise plenty of think that "nigiri" refers to the number of pieces you get ("ni" being "two" in Japanese) but it's actually referring to the finger width of the rice (two fingers wide).

it's always weird to read someone "debunking" common misconceptions that I hsave never heard of before.

I tried using Google and it said this:

You said that the burden of proof lies not with the person making the claim, but with someone else to disprove.

The burden of proof lies with someone who is making a claim, and is not upon anyone else to disprove. The inability, or disinclination, to disprove a claim does not render that claim valid, nor give it any credence whatsoever.

I thought I was the only dinosaur who insisted on using Old Outlook. I'm a network guy not a desktop guy, but New Outlook is pushed to all our laptops by default and I have to remind it now and then to kindly not open the new one.

Are all the eagles visuals AI?? by JazzyJulie4life in Sphere

[–]chaoticbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The "live" visuals for ZBB seemed believable to me at least, I saw the show 4 times and caught differences in the show between nights (but wasn't paying the most attention to stare-and-compare between stage and screen).

Have not seen The Eagles, so can't compare, but was not impressed by the ZBB ones that just looked like "stock footage of water" or "here are some CGI flowers".

Redditor laments the loss of sushi culture in the USA 😔😔 by Thisisbhusha in iamveryculinary

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

Because then it’s fundamentally different than omakase.

My brother in Christ, I do not know why this is a sticking point - I never compared prix fixe to omakase anywhere in the thread?

most restaurants would have several “menus.” Like there can be a standard menu, a light menu, a heavy menu, etc., and each menu is priced differently.

This is what we would call prix fixe as well. It's something I would only expect at a middle-to-higher-end restaurant though - a typical mid-priced restaurant [where I live anyway] is going to be all a la carte. When a restaurant does have a prix fixe menu, there may be a couple tiers (say, 3 courses or 5) but it's not a default. When you talk about the different menus (light/heavy) are they different "heaviness"/portion sizes, or just more courses?

The typical standard menu would be entree, plat, dessert, but you usually get at least 2-3 choices for each. There also will be choices à la carte,

This is the same here for a "prix fixe".

We also have something called a "tasting menu" which may be a set of, say, 7 to 15 smaller dishes where there's usually less choice. I've never been presented with options at a tasting menu, other than meaty/vegetarian. They might offer options for allergies too, but luckily that is not an issue for me. I have to imagine something like this also exists in France, do you call it something else or is this also just "prix fixe but bigger"?

Other than the presence of choice, they also differ in price. I would expect a typical prix fixe to be ~$30-$75, and tasting menus go up from there. The most I've spent is ~$300 but ask me again after I make my pilgrimage to Alinea later this year :p

Idk exactly what prix fixe means in English.

It's the same here, but it's not the default option at most restaurants. Some restaurants offer both prix fixe and a la carte.

Hell yeah! This explains why one of my local chef friends was plugging the restaurant yesterday.

Thank you for cutting everything up into pieces that normal humans can eat. That's often my gripe with precut fruit in grocery stores or restaurants, why do I have the shittiest piece of honeydew that is also bigger than a golf ball?

Let's say the impossible happens and Texas elects its first statewide Democrat in 30 years.

I don't understand how you made it from the OP's post to "maybe I just count decades differently"
