I use female pronouns, like Yuuka, out of convenience. I wish we had usable, non-awkward gender neutral pronouns in English, but alas. In terms of which terminology to use when describing trans people, I usually just listen to what they like. On articles where a trans person uses the asterisk, I do because it's…
See above: then the cook/chef can't cook a piece of meat to temp properly. If a well done steak is leathery and horrifying it's overcooked and the cook/chef doesn't know how temperatures and heat transference work. (Source: actual chef)
Lots of bread is made with eggs, something some vegetarians prefer to avoid. The customer could have been more specific, sure, but it's nothing I'd be "shocked" to hear. Also, a properly cooked well done steak SHOULD be tender and not burnt. Medium well should have a slightly pink center, whereas well done should be…
Falafel is crunchy deliciousness. Beef tongue is also extremely tasty, as is black pudding and baked beans. You're TOTALLY right on the rest though. BLECH!
I know this is gonna sound silly, but check out the livejournal. It really helps you pick the right size/type for you.
This really struck me to my core. I was estranged from my father's family for the majority of my life, and so I never got to know my paternal grandfather or the culture he came from (Ute). I don't look particularly Native, as I inherited mostly my mom's Irish coloring. The rest of my father's children look more like…
YES. Spreading the Deakins-worship!
That's because it's done by Roger Deakins, god of cinematography.
Yup, it's Olympus Mons! At a height of 21.9 km, no less.
Man I always end up disagreeing with these posts. Oysters are briny sex, and pears are absolutely delicious. I was raised on borscht (Ukrainian grandfather!). It is quite delicious hot, but extra delicious cold with some sour cream mixed in. Whatever. Also, Manhattan clam chowder is excellent if you let go of the idea…
Sorry to burst your bubble, but having your daughter vaccinated in a crowd of unvaccinated children doesn't do much. Vaccines rely on mass immunizations to be effective.
It was banned because it was assumed it required a two-foot landing, and for jumps to be legal, they must be landed on one foot. Surya Bonaly landed a backflip on ONE skate, basically attempting to make it legal, but they still disqualified it.
Exactly this. The science of linguistics is descriptive, not prescriptive. Languages evolve through use and lexicon expansion. To argue otherwise is ridiculous.
It took me less than 2 months to go from being nice and fit (playing ice hockey) to losing nearly all of my muscle (injury). I HATE IT. Especially since it's been two years since I've been allowed to do any physically exerting activities. I miss my muscle :(
For me, it's not the actual chores that are sexy. Rather, it's that my poor, overworked fiance will come home and despite having worked since 4am, he'll vacuum, do laundry, etc. as I'm getting over surgery. He's taken on all the chores since I was injured 2 years ago without once complaining. It's not the chores that…
Remember the horrible sled dog massacre after the 2010 Whistler Olympics? Let's celebrate human talent...and murder some animals while we're at it.
There's no "getting past" racial, gender, religious, and sexual orientation issues so long as those issues exist. You can't just ignore them and hope they go away. The only way to go about fighting them is to speak up when it's obvious someone's being racist/sexist/whateverreligiousist/etc. Calling a black guy a thug…
He lived, but that's all I know! Still part of the cult last I checked. Jeez.
