It’s hard to think of any Chinese restaurant menu without crab rangoon

More importantly, what happens to one’s social media handles when he/she dies?!?!?!?!

Bump that 20% tip to 50% or just hand over a couple of Benjamins, whichever is more, and call it a day. 

Nah this was the OG KFC mascot when they first entered the Chinese market.

Sincerely,

back-to-back ticketing is likely much harder for airlines to catch

Not sure about DC but the Nakazawa in NYC is so popular that it’s almost impossible to book.

Yeah not sure why his ramen was so hyped. I went once and found it delicious but nothing that special honestly.

Or, failing that, would a dumpling itself, say a xiao long or char siu bao, count as a hand pie?

It looks hideous!

I no longer live in Pittsburgh but I’d say Pamela’s would still be my top choice when visiting. Yes it’s cash-only for greasy AF pancakes but all in an old charming way...

This also reminds me of the Russian reindeer leather, allegedly recovered from some 18th century shipwreck, going for crazy amounts of money.

Many bottles have had their corks well sealed thanks to high water pressure

I find it fascinating that as much as Chinese retailers have adopted the American Black Friday/Cyber Monday as an opportunity to run sales, the entirely made-up 11/11 Singles Day has made its way from China to the US and is slowly gaining traction. Consumerism is a common language for sure.

I applaud this article, for if nothing else, an accurate title to illustrate the state of our understanding in the extent of the role played by Vitamin E acetate in vaping related lung diseases.

This is the only tip one needs. The rest are all derivatives or corollaries of it. 

I think the same line of thinking applies in the sense that anything that’s ever uploaded to the internet shall exists forever and will eventually be found/seen by anyone who’s willing to put in a little effort. 

Even if it’s supposedly ‘free’, still not necessarily worth the time or effort.

My now go-to excuse for backing out of plans last minute is ‘Jim Spanfeller ruined it’.
