It’s been a perpetual source of surprise to me that curry houses are so ‘non-specific’. Pakistan and India together make about 1.7 billion people, about a third of the planet’s population, and I’d have thought an easy way to distinguish a restaurant would be to offer something more region-specific, but it’s fairly rare.

Here in the UK, the majority of curry houses are Bangladeshi - used to be the vast majority, now it’s more like 2/3rds. We’ve a couple of ‘more specific’ chains - both Bundobust and Dishoom do Mumbai-style, and they’re both fantastic - and there’s a few places that do well with the ‘naturally vegan’ cuisines, but mostly you can go in to a restaurant and expect the usual suspects will be on the menu.

Same goes for Chinese restaurants - I don’t believe that a billion people all eat the same food, it’s too big a place for the same ingredients to be in season all the time. Why are they not more specific, more often?

Fuck Spez.

All my brothers and sisters in the 3.6%, represent. Let’s make a new year’s resolution to rub out twice as many next year!

I think that Python has a bit of a ‘Microsoft Word’ thing on the go. You know how your own docs are completely editable and print fine, but everyone else’s are a complete fucking disaster and pressing a single key will screw up the formatting of the whole document? Your own Python code is full of sensible idioms and pragmatic naming conventions, but everyone else’s was plainly written while on mushrooms.

Blasphemous 2 has a transgender breastfeeding scene, but only a single-player campaign, seems odd to call it a ‘story mode’… Good work getting to that bit in four hours, too.

You ready-made ‘found art’ my sister? You’re going to jail.
