No there is a difference between an calling entire nation that serves several different types of foods and genres of food that are world renowned a “culinary desert”, and calling out the quality control standards of one American chain that serves one type of food.

What? What post are you responding to?

The Shilin Night market there’s a dude that cooks delicious Bao (I’m not sure the actual name) on the side of a barrel, it comes out all crunchy and delicious, and he’s like right next to a 50 near an old movie theater with delicious jen ju nai cha. Fuckin hell I miss Taiwan. Lollicup can’t hold a candle to that…

Awww cho dofu is not my thing, but that’s not the only thing there man. How long did you hang out?

Then you probably shouldn’t call it a “Culinary Desert”. :-p

Put em together with the tape, the tape of love.

Did you just call the land of garage fried deliciousness every morning and beef noodle soup a culinary desert? Or are you just a crazy white person who doesn’t dine on delicious youtiao and delicious spicy beef filled wontons (not shitty wonton chips mind you) in the morning? I shit you not I had breakfast at some…

This feels one of those weird catch 22s though. I don’t ride trains cause the trains are dirty, expensive, and shitty here in the states.

I disagree with this PARTIALLY. I don’t think ECUs should be locked out in certain ways. A/F maps, fuel tables, some throttle body features, etc should be messed with. BUT I think there are safety features that shouldn’t be messed with.

It’s important that certain studios and publishers don’t associate themselves with controversial games, and being able to point at studies for public relations reasons, for general socially responsible public advisory, and for content production is important.

No it’s a very important study. It shows that a game content doesn’t CAUSE sexism. Games causing sexism and sexism in the game industry and community are two very VERY different things. And that might be apparent to you, but it’s not apparent to a majority of people and investors pouring money into the games industry.

No I don’t, my issue with Cadillac is not that they are trying to go outside the box and do the euro thing, they totally should, they should have been for a very long time. My issue is that they are trying to go the euro route with the old tired grey looks and feel. And the interior is like being in a yacht. It’s nice…

I’ll concede all day that the CTS and ATS are getting better, the fact that GM has taken queues from the Europeans is a great feat in them getting their heads out of their asses, but you look 2 years back, even 1 and you’ve got pretty rolly CTS, that has issues stacking up to BMWs and Mercs, I spend some time in a…

You’re telling me the ATS and CTS wasn’t rolling around on you comparative to your new MINI, or comparative to a 3 series which is significantly lighter?

I test drove a baseline ATS with a few dealership addons a few months ago. The baseline ATS coupe is only pulling 275 HP. I don’t know where you’re pulling this 321hp from. The 321hp is optional on the ATS, the comparative priced Acura TLX actually has more HP at 290. They’re also both comparative on the skid pad at…

What I was replying to Admiral

I disagree, either you’ve never actually driven a Cadillac, or you’ve never driven their German or Japanese counterparts. Cadillacs are very sofaish cars, the “V” series are better, but the premium and markup on them makes actually having them, and living with them, simply stupid. Escalade aside, Cadillac’s user base…

Honestly Manga and Anime are as wide and varied in their characters and stories as there are movie genres and sitcoms in the USA. I'm a huge fan of lots of different Anime out there, but some of the pop anime is just intolerable to me (see Bleach, DBZ, One Piece) I really really dislike shows which don't seem to value…

Needs and interior strip and a new shakey can black spraypaint job and we're good to go....to the track...

Sure but an intranet or LAN network has a lot less moving parts and variables associated with it.
