Here are some I remember:

Black bug's blood and red bug's blood. (Trickier than it seems - try repeating it fast many times.)

Round and round the rugged rock, the ragged rascal ran.


Greek yogurt has a lot of protein?

Actual Greek yogurt will have 8-12% of it's weight in protein.

Another option might be curd / quark (differs a lot per country).


Quark is also simple to make. 1 part buttermilk to 4 parts milk (3% or better), ferment it at 40 degrees C for 20 hours, then strain it overnight.

>a lot of Korean food is fermented

Examples, other than kimchi and probably some fish sauces? Don't know much about Korean food, but I liked what I tried, the few times I ate at a Korean restaurant.


The fermentation traditions around soybeans are particularly interesting. The starting point is called meju [1] which are blocks of open air fermented soybeans in blocks.

From there you can continue to process and ferment them to produce a variety of sauces, pastes, soup bases, and so on - soy sauce is the most famous in the west, but the rest of the products have honestly mind-blowing, highly complex, tastes.

There's also a broad tradition of preserving and fermenting various seafoods, from the corvina to fermented skate (hongeo) [2].

Gochujang and doenjang are two fermented pastes that are used a lot.

thanks.

Sourdough bread too?

I was hoping some people would mention other interesting programming languages in this thread, with links.

there are no good brexits, bro. god promise.

Until ... 10 . 9 . 8 ...

What does exclusive motion mean here?

Motions can be inclusive or exclusive. It works like the different ways of annotating ranges: [0,1] and (0,1).

Consider the command `d` (delete) combined with the motions for `"`.

First we have `da"`, it deletes the everything between the pair of `"` characters that surround my cursor. Next, `di"` deletes the contents of the `"` pair.

The movement `a"` is inclusive (think 'a quote') and `i"` is exclusive (think 'inside quote'). Combined with the command you get "delete a quote" and "delete inside quote" when the mnemonics are spelled out.

oh, wow, great info, thanks. i knew about the general concept from high school math (where it is called open and closed intervals) and also about Python ranges, but didn't know about it in connection with vim. Got it now.

Also, I love mnemonics. They make many topics easier to remember.

Related: Sanskrit has tons of them.

Dal bhat in Nepal is not unique to Nepal, it is also a huge Indian staple food, dal and rice in India, eaten in many parts of the country in various forms. Called dal chaval in Hindi states in north India, varan bhat in Maharashtra, and a variant called sambar sadam or similar in south India.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dal


Didn’t say it was unique to Nepal. But eating a thali in Nepal is a different experience to the one in various states of India as i’m sure you know.

your "is its own thing" implies "unique" to me. but if you want to hairsplit, go ahead. no issues. to each their own.

and about your "as i’m sure you know.":

how are you sure i know?

are you me? or can you read my thoughts? hee hee.

if so, mad props to you for being able to enter another person's mind. congrats, you may have acquired a siddhi.

I have eaten both cuisines extensively and Nepali cuisine is very different from Indian and much better imo. Just because Indians eat dal bhat means little.

"and much better". ha ha ha.

that is entirely subjective, and you yourself said "imo".

i am not denying that it may feel better - to you.

maybe read:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_gustibus_non_est_disputandu...

and get real about life.


and "means little" to who? to you, maybe. what a stupid statement.

india is many many times bigger than nepal in area.

and with a much higher population. world's highest, in fact.

google both those points.

no one except you, in the whole wide world, gives a flying fuck about how 'extensively" you have eaten those cuisines.

don't give yourself airs and pretend to speak for the rest of the whole world.
