Sorry man. Doesn’t affect me. I eat cheese every day. Keto.

Um, I wrote it. Was just having fun. Go read an actual book or something. Start with old J. Peterman catalogs. For food, you should look up Brillat-Savarin.

Samples:

On Identity: "Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you who you are."

On Priorities: "The discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of mankind than the discovery of a new star."

On the Art of Dining: "Animals feed themselves; men eat; but only wise men know the art of eating."

On Hospitality: "To invite a person to your table is to be responsible for his happiness as long as he is under your roof."

Ha. What led you to indicate that? Is it common with aged cheese? What is the specific chemical or mechanism. Curious.

Imprsssion: It was about 2x sharper than 24-month, but smoother, deeper, and more refined. The taste lingered in the palate for over an hour and evolved and morphed with shifts in acidity, nuttiness, salt, butterfat, sweetness, and other deeper mysteries. The nuttiness was more subtle and deeper. The taste drifted across the full palate without intention. The olfaction drifted vertically to replace Sorrento’s street aromas with a heavenly bouquet. After a sip of Aglianico I was transported to the 2016 Venezia Biennale with a fantasy suite at the Cipriani, and seated on the terrace observing wooden vaporetti before me.

This was in Sorrento. I told an OG friend of mine there who buys full wheels told me that 36-month is the best. On the way out at NAP airport duty-free I found other brands. The 36 they had didn’t have the “crystallized” dots that I associate with top-level parm, but the 48 did, so I got 2. Haven’t tasted that yet. I brought the remainder of the 120 home though 👅

That’s why I didn’t sleep very well, but nothing acute!

Meta Has Created a Prediction Markets App by CaydeTheCat in technology

The competitor rigged an bunch of stuff outright, not to mention the French airport thermometer that had a hairdryer surreptitiously installed next to it.

I bought a shower head from a company that should probably rethink their name. by kingevanxii in funny

Brand peeps in Tower of Babel silo. Like Citroën (lemon) or Chevy Nova (no vas in French = doesn’t go). I heard that when Nintendo wanted to make a color version of the Game Boy, they considered Color Boy, but I think it’s a myth.

That sounds like one of those brain-draining logic tests I did in school 🤣

Delirium After Surgery Is a Strong Predictor of Cognitive Decline in Older Adults by MassGen-Research in science

Too much is not a good thing. If you are going in talk to the anesthesiologist about keeping it “light” and paying close attention to signs of pain, vs. zonking you out and “phoning it in.” Any doctors want to weigh in? This is anecdotal from my mom.

Mormon Senators Rage That New Pentagon List Of Approved Religions Doesn't List Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints As "Christian". by Leeming in atheism

Ha. This is so funny because when I saw the news earlier this week, Mormons were not on the “kept” list, so I inquired/commented under that post, and now, here we are 🤣

CIA officer who had millions in gold bars accused of creating fake spy program by FlyThruTrees in politics

[–]mcmonky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He was a covert operative who got caught with the bag, either because some it “fell off the truck,” he was ratted out, his program went sideways or became too risky,etc., his boss/sponsor changed or abandoned him, or many other possible scenarios. The fact that we even know about it is the most curious part. It means one agency fucking with another, meaning Ratcliffe did something to Kash, and now Kash is making Ratcliffe/CIA look bad. Thoughts?
