You mean whether a squatter can legally invite them in?

Looks awesome! Found a bunch of recipes, will give it a shot!

Does that dish have a name? Never seen pineapple in a soup, would love to give it a shot.

I don’t mind pineapple in dishes (and love it on pizza). They are commonly found in Cantonese and Yunnanese dishes as well for example, like Gulaorou (sweet & sour pork chops with chillies & pineapple). The acidity goes well with the sweetness of the BBQ-like sauce.

So I can see them harmonizing with meatballs in general. What I do take offense with are the spaghetti, I just don’t think pasta in general is a good match for pineapple.

Ok whatever it is, the price on display is not the final price, and I feel scammed.

That might take a little while.

Dachau was preserved as a memorial. Tiananmen Square is just that - a city square in Beijing that hundreds of thousands of people cross every day without batting an eye. Many not even aware of the historical significance.

Nobody can force you to. People will probably consider you to be rude, but you do yours. I also live in a place where not tipping is customary (and in fact tipping considered to be rude) and refuse to embrace this system. I’m already annoyed by list prices excluding VAT. That’s like a borderline scam.

I assume you are trolling, but I have indeed been to Tiananmen square, and will go to Xinjiang in October. My wife is Chinese, and her cousin works there.

Oh interesting, haven’t heard of that yet. Will give it a shot next time!

Can’t help you with iPhones, sorry. Never had an Apple device. You could blacklist known ad-servers through your router though, if that’s an option (for home use, at least). On Android it’s simple enough with this app: https://github.com/polymorphicshade/NewPipe/releases

If your TV is Android based, https://smarttubenext.com/.

It’s a native TV app that captures the original youtube stream and displays it completely without ads, and comes with a sponsorblock implementation as well. Works amazingly well and is updated about weekly.

Joe Dirt!

It was so hilariously awful, I love it.

Don’t really have a top list, but that’s the one I always come up with when asked.

I’m using adblocker and sponsorblock on all devices (phone, Laptop, TV). There is no creator I like so much that I would endure those nuisances.

I do have paid subscriptions as well as ongoing patreons for some to ensure they get at least some revenue, but third party ads/ads spliced in from the main platform itself will not be tolerated.

Not the original commenter, but it’s really simple, you just need to mix fruit and sugar in a 1:1, 2:1 or 3:1 ratio and add a splash of water, and bring it to a low boil under constant stirring with a wooden spatula. Once all sugar is dissolved, take it off the heat and stir in some gelatine (powder or sheets - if you opt for sheets, soak them in cold water for 90 secs prior). Keep stirring until the gelatine is thoroughly dissolved as well, then put it into jars, pop on the lid while steaming hot, and chuck it in cold water for a minute to create a pressure seal. Then let it fully cool down at room temperature.

For plum jam particularly, I prefer a bit higher acidity so I’ll go for a 3:1 fruit to sugar ratio, but that’s your call, really. If you want to add some extra flavor notes, you can throw a handful of cloves in when cooking the mix (just get them out before filling it into the jars), and then after cooking, put a cinnamon stick into the jar right before you throw it into the water. That can remain inside until you first open the jar later.

I’d suggest to experiment around at first with smaller batches to get your preferred mix, and then go all in.

Spin your idea a bit further.

If all resources would be pooled in one single site, then who stops the site owner in 5, 10, 15 years to say “hey, it was nice of you to create all that content on my site. No really, cool. Appreciate it. Only that now I’m selling the whole shit and don’t care about you anymore. kthxbye!”

That’s in a nutshell the stunt that reddit pulled after gaining popularity. The only way around it is by essentially doing the opposite - not allowing any single instance to outgrow the idea in itself and becoming all-powerful.

It might look confusing/frustrating in the beginning, but after a while it feels normal. Subscribe to communities on all different kinds of servers (use the /all feature to browse around) and use one logon to access them, with one general UI, and soon you’ve forgotten that they even run on different servers.

Fuck no, that thing got blocked the moment I saw it. If the actual OP is not there to answer or comment on the advice received, and is fully unaware they even get replies outside of reddit, this whole thing makes zero sense.

Dettol Original antibacterial bar soap. Comes with no scent I notice. Maybe slightly lemon-y, at best.

In Germany, Luxembourg and Norway I was drinking it straight from the tap. In Germany specifically, tap water is more regulated than bottled water you buy from the shop, making it safer to drink.

When I was living in Africa (Liberia, Nigeria, Tanzania, Madagascar, Kenya) as well as now in China, tap water is generally considered unsafe for consumption, no matter if you boil it or not, due to the possibilities of heavy metal poisoning. At home I tested my water through a lab (twice with ~24 months in between) and it’s free of any dangerous metals or chemicals so I use it for cooking and for my coffee machine, but even though it’s supposedly drinkable I wouldn’t do so - neither boiled nor fresh.

Same applies for HK by the way, even though you don’t have as much heavy industry poisoning the water supplies, the proximity to Shenzhen alone means that there’s gotta be a ton of toxic fumes washing down that ends up in your freshwater supply. And while boiling gets rid of bacteria and stuff, many carcinogens are largely unaffected.

The German version (Stromberg) is, but I don’t like the American one. Incompatible humour, really… I don’t remember any funny US series that I actually found funny.

Edit: Thought about it for a bit, Scrubs was funny as hell. So there was at least one.
