I wish someone would make a good high budget Earthsea series.

There’s the 2004 miniseries, but it’s neither of those.

There is a transgender aes sedai in the show.

Really? I completely missed that. In-character-trans, or real-world-trans-in-character-not-discussed?

They made Perrin kill his wife too, because the writers were too incompetent to make the hammer-vs-axe choice in a better way. And then they never bring it up again, except for angst reasons.

I live in the Netherlands, where we don’t have water fluoridation because of legal principles. Our laws don’t allow medication without knowledge and consent, and fluoride is considered part of that. So if one person disagrees, you can’t do it, so we don’t do it.

As a result, we have markedly worse dental quality than in places that have naturally high fluoride content

You can absolutely ruin your palette with oversalting, or over-MSG-ing your food though.

I mean, I definitely don’t consider prozac part of a meal.

MSG also forms when glutamic acid meets tablesalt. That’s why tomatoes or beef with a tiny bit of salt are so damned tasty, they’re full of glutamic acid. Same with cheese (which is usually pre-salted for that lovely MSG-flavour).

Tomatoes and beef already contain MSG naturally, but adding a few grains of salt produces far more.

Edit: This is why walnut oil is amaaaaazing for savory flavours. It’s full of glutamate. Just like grape juice, or shi-take. Even potatoes to a lesser extend. And this is why we love combing all those foods for “winter foods” with game and in stews.

The Danish people must be salty about that.

What is that supposed to represent???

I recently tried to compare data on morbid obesity, but most countries don’t even have a rate, or only include the data as a sub- 1% share of the obesity.

And the US it’s 9.5%

As in, 30% of the US has a BMI between 30 and 40, and 10% is over 40.

It’s almost as big as the Xbox360. We can reuse all the all the old memes

In addition to agreeing with everything here, I’m very annoyed that I can’t find that bikini design anywhere!

Just blanket stop touching people without consent.

Not having kids also saves a lot of money.

Gay men are after all famous for being frugal in their clothing styles.

Blaming someone else what the US did wrong is a proud US tradition!

The signs were placed by the Dutch. The signs were removed by order of the US government.

I learned that I can do a great anime-protagonist haircut, but now that I’m not in my early 20s anymore that’s not really my style anymore.

On the other end of the spectrum, if you just trim the tips off of your perpetual ponytail/braid, that’s easy too.

Everything in between needs practice, and ideally the ability to look at the back of your head.

If the potatoes are still inside, other options exist too

It looks like a square, with two straps holding it in place

Also, women aren’t actually rare, large companies have warehouses full of women to artificially inflate the price
