It is pretty wild seeing him become the focus of world attention and big politics, when he is just a guy who made funny Hell Let Loose and DayZ videos.

But China is capitalist.

It is almost as if one of those two things is wildly intrusive and affects everything on this Earth for a number of different reasons, and the other is just a food item.

The amount of people that seem to think their little bit of homecooking can compete with professional chef’s is laughable.

It definitely can, and you are showing your inexperience with cooking by making this argument. Cooks are people who are professionally trained in cooking, but you know what, most processes involved in cooking are the same whether you are a professional or not, so amateurs are perfectly capable of achieving the same level of perfection as cooks for a whole range of basic elements of cooking.

You seem to be unable to imagine that people can have opinions that differ from your own. You seem to have the need to have even the most basic concepts explained to you. even though lots of people have already done so numerous times in this thread alone.

It depends on the type of person you are. There are better things to relieve stress for you. For others cooking can be very effective at that.

We are all different, try to imagine that. No really, you should be aware of that.

Do you if that it what you feel. But personally your mindset seems extremely exhausting to me, especially your work addiction.

But again, you are free to do whatever suits you best.

Cooking rules. It can be an excellent anti-stress ritual as well.

It wasn’t. A lot of the copy protection was the game asking for the word on a particular page and line in the manual. When you pirated the game (which was easy, since it was literally just copying the disk to another disk), you photocopied the manual as well. Or rather photocopied the photocopy of the manual, I didn’t see a lot of original games for the PC and Commodore 64 back in the 80s, but I sure had hundreds if not thousands of games.

I guess the colour thing was probably a method of circumventing the photocopier, because colour photocopiers were not really generally available back then.

Unless you run into particular bios issues like csm and hd formats. It took quite a while and lot of research before I was even able to begin installation, because every distro I tried just hung even before it initiated the process of installing.

Noone really says Eurafrica outside of the specific context of timezones. And it is only used in the specific context of timezones because it is a quite apt term there when you look at a map of timezones.

To be fair Americans are incapable of eating any food which aren’t the texture of blended babyfood, so them being upset at a little texture in food isn’t really that surprising.

Except the part where the average consumer gets to pay more for everything. That still applies.

I don’t think that China need anything from the US

They do like their money. The US basically funded their industrialisation, and keeps doing so.

I think either Asimov or A.E. van Vogt wrote a short story with this premise already back in the late 1940s.

Not as much as that Putin-nazi shithole you frequent.

Most of these types of posts are not really about autism specifically, it is just about social mores and feeling alienated, something which happens to most non-autistic people as well.

It says “4 min. drive” in the OP though, which is what everybody is commenting about, not your personal anecdote.
