In Hong Kong it's common for bars to always have extra leftover umbrellas that were left behind. As a regular they'd always just give me one if I got caught out in the rain. I've also left umbrellas out countless times. It&#x

Yes, I've been. It closed due to Covid restrictions is my understanding. Believe that he's left Bangkok altogether.

There are 3 star meals that are just excellent renditions of food, and some that are experimental theaters as much as they are food. To take two examples from my own eating experience on either end of the spectrum: - Alinea, in Chicago → th

Tim Ho Wan and Din Tai Fund in Hong Kong both lost their stars. There was a stall in Singapore that also lost its. Kam's Roast Goose in HK also used to have one, but I don't recall if it still does.

There are some cheap Michelin stars in Asia, which were added rather recently after the guide got flak for being too snooty. A few local spots in HK and Singapore cost just a few bucks and have stars (and incredibly long lines).

Oh and another I forgot to mention that's a favorite is "Not another cooking show" by a NYC creator who perfectly makes videos of primarily Italian-American fare. Love the way he edits.

Actually I recently discovered Brian Lagerstrom and have enjoyed his videos so far, but I haven't been watching him for long hence my forgetfulness. Good call.

I watch an absurd amount of cooking YouTube, and I follow a bunch of creators for different reasons. They each have their appeal: - Kenji → got into him because of Food Lab optimization articles, but discovered I enjoyed the unique perspect

Things probably change if you weigh by surface including the ocean EEZ, with French Polynesia being the most significant area of France at this point.

Would it be so difficult to just write "the article?"

The "Bay Area" is well known to refer (only) to the San Francisco Bay, while the "Greater Bay Area" is known to only refer to the Pearl River Delta Bay (HK, Macau, Guangdong). Other bays are typically named more specific

I'm a VC; there is zero chance I would ever invest in a pseudonymous founder. That said, that doesn't mean the company and founder have to be publicly announced. I just have to know who I'm dealing with, and do my due diligen

Assuming that interest rates remain above inflation, which is already no longer true. What's the point of earning 2% a year when the USD is losing 6% a year in value (and that's likely far undercounted).

Huh, you're saying that gas station sell their main product at a loss and then make back the difference on what… tictacs and slim jims?

I don't rent cars very often, but it's always been a pleasant experience. I have National Emerald Club for free via my Amex card. Any time I need a car, I just click rent from the app on the cheapest car. Walk into the rental lot

Christmas doesn't celebrate the winter solstice, it happens to be a few days after the winter solstice. In some places, the solstice is far more important holiday than Christmas, like for Buddhists in HK where I live, who celebrate the

I now live in Asia, where almost everything built recently is induction. It's wonderful. Hardly an electric garbage stove to be seen anywhere.

Haha, this is ridiculous. Picking up dates in real life is not only still completely doable, but probably easier these days due to the sheer lack of competition from men who just have no idea how to do it.

And how would you know what your feelings would be like without the circumcision? Not like you've ever experienced the alternative…

Circumcision still being a thing blows my mind. I'm lucky that my parents never had me mutilated before I could consent. What really shocks me is the amount of justification that circumcised men give for the practice. Instead of accept

Yes, they shut it down in 1992, but it took another 15 years or so to fully clean up the mess it created.

That's due to a miscalculation around the sudden death of demand due to a global pandemic (which bankrupted a bunch of car rental companies, including Hertz). Now that demand is back, they're rebuilding their inventory, as exempli
