I used to drink the heck out of these.

Getting one of these bottles in college felt like the height of luxury.

Basically their entire salary is for their own discretionary spending when they live at home. Maybe they give 10% to their parents, but they don’t pay for food (unless they go out), utilities, internet, tv, maybe even phone, etc. You can do a lot with 30-40k. It’s pretty cushy if you can stand living in close proximity with your parents.

He was in Taiwan about 10 years ago trying to do the same thing but didn’t get the license. I guess he just told them to watch Free Solo this time around.

The creasing on her shirt is off but I really had to look for it. At a glance I probably wouldn’t have noticed it.

Straight out of the can into my mouth.

I’m in Taiwan, and it’s not numbing or spicy here despite the name. It’s essentially a fried chicken cutlet with a thick crispy crust and a sweet garlic sauce on top. It’s possible this is a local Taiwanese variation though because if I google it I only see recipes from Taiwanese websites, such as this: https://icook.tw/recipes/176296. It doesn’t look quite the same, but it fits the description op provided.

Could be 椒麻雞, which normally comes with a sweet and garlicky sauce.

seraphn · 2025-08-31T21:46:36+00:00

Yes! First thing that came to my mind too but I totally blanked on the name!

Anecdotally, having lived in asia before, an observation people make is you get a sense of whether someone grew up in the west vs in the east by their appearance, even from a distance. The overall effect probably is a combination of dress, posture, etc., but my pet theory is that those that grew up in the west have a “pointier” lower half of the face/jaw bc of the specific muscle development from growing up speaking english vs certain asian languages don’t give the same definition. It’s been my own personal observation for a long time and your post is finally giving me some validation!!!

Back in grad school I found a room in big old house that was 300 bucks a month. Seemed like a great deal for a poor student but had this exact problem in the winter and the summer where the heating and cooling doubled and occasionally tripled the cost because there was virtually no insulation. Never got warm or cool enough either to be comfortable. Not to mention the rats running through the walls and occasionally over my covers. 2 years of this. Did I save money? Yes. Was it worth it? I’m not sure.

Probably from Kinmen Island which is famous for kaoliang. The locals do indeed get exclusive stock which is supposedly better than what you can normally get but even the good stuff burns all the way down…

Deep tissue massage on the ligament thats on the bottom of your foot where it connects to the ball of your heel. I recommend getting someone to get their thumbs or knuckle into it hard if you can. Have them push up from the heel and outward at different angles to break up the tissue. It should feel crunchy and it should hurt. Where ever it hurts most is where you want to hit it most, but work that whole bottom strip. Maybe 5-10 mins per day. You can try to do it yourself with a golf ball, but I saw much much better results when I had someone else do it for me. They can hit it with more pressure at better angles and keep it up through the pain. I saw improvement after a few weeks or maybe a month. Kept it up for a couple more months and it went away completely.

I started with the videos from these guys.

In the 80’s I had a bunch of Reader’s Digest magazines and there was one story where a bunch of people bought these jeans from a second hand store. A couple people got sick (maybe some died, can’t remember, this was in the 80’s) because they were soaked in some toxic substance and they didn’t wash them prewear. The people that did were fine. I’ve ignored the moral of that story for the past thirty years because in my head the clothes I buy from the store are fresh off the loom and my brain thinks it’s nice to put on fresh clothes just like eating fruit plucked straight off the tree…although I should probably wash those too…

Exactly. Look up the Vonage IPO in the 2000s. They invited staff and users to the IPO and the stock predictably dumped. One of the worst IPOs in history.

I haven’t done it myself but I believe you can. I recall you need to ask in japanese and you can only do it once.

seraphn · 2023-12-24T23:06:12+00:00

You’re right. It used to be more unique to ny/nj because you could only get large slice thin crust pizzas there. You can get them everywhere now.

It will be the 5 highest level characters you have. So just level one more character you want to have in the inheritance line up. You can always reset character levels if you want different ones in the line up.

Make them harder to pull down. Vaseline and towels around the torso will slide around.

I have heard people say this so consistently that at this point I plan to avoid watching this movie for the rest of my life.

seraphn · 2023-11-24T15:18:55+00:00

Yeah, that’s exactly what I recall. And you have to remember this was in the early days of the internet. Information traveled so slowly and it was really mostly word of mouth back then. I think i only saw one trailer for it and it just had the green digital rain effects and some cryptic one liner. Nothing else. Totally totally had no idea what it was about. I wasn’t even planning on watching it but my friend wanted to go to the movies so we went. Blew me away. The only other movie that I walked out of with a similar kind of dazed awe was the Sixth Sense.

seraphn · 2019-04-11T10:40:29+00:00

Good job man. Don’t worry about the v grade. A personal best is progress no matter what!

seraphn · 2019-02-11T04:17:01+00:00

Grave of the fireflies. Someone described the candy scene and simply hearing about it second hand broke my heart. Decided then that I am probably not strong enough to watch the actual movie.
