Yeah, fair enough. Definitely not as strong flavored.

Yu choy is such an underappreciated vegetable in the US. It's usually very inexpensive, available at asian groceries all over, and stands in well for other greens. We use it as a 1/2 price (or cheaper) alternative to broccoli rabe in Italian dishes.

Yeah, this. I'm probably more aware of and familiar with world languages than the average American, but I have flipflopped between die and day pronunciations of Hyundai. I tried to figure out why that might be and I think it's probably related to the romanization differences among several east Asian languages. This seems most problematic with older romanization methods. Newer ones feel more intuitive.

For example I'm meant to pronounce the 'ai' in Taipei, Saipan and zaibatsu as rhyming with "die", but the 'ai' in Hyundai and waifu as "rhyming with "day". So it's memorization and context. Which feels very appropriate as an English speaker when all of our shit is irregularities and exceptions!

Seriously. They must be new here.

Maybe the linked article changed since it was posted? That's the story I read yesterday, but the article I see posted says:

It was handed over on Wednesday to the Argentinian judiciary by the daughter of the late Nazi financier Friedrich Kadgien, Patricia Kadgien, who has been under house arrest with her husband since Tuesday.

It's unclear if you're imagining that power is provided along the line or if these will need to be self-powered.

If you're looking in New England specifically then the rolling stock of MTA Metro North or CT Rail might be of interest. Assuming the protagonists will have access to a power source. I think Hartford Line CT Rail uses both third rail and overhead power, so that might make for a point of discussion about them seeking out these specific units for their more flexible powering options and voltages.

Just tried this on a recent Trixie amd64 install. locate isn't installed by default, but there is a locate/stable 4.10.0-3 package and it installs just fine for me.

sudo apt update
sudo apt install locate

Not worthless. The coinage had intrinsic value, being made of metals with a commodity value. So it's not like holding a paper banknote when a government collapses. People would still have used them to hoard savings, for trade and melted down as a source of precious metals.

That was really the only value they ever had. Boosted a bit by confidence in the purity (but also reduced when Rome debased its coinage).

Matewan (1987) is a good movie covering aspects of this story. Great cast and an engaging story. The cinematography won an Oscar.

The easy clean is really due to how the induction coil heats the pan but not the cooktop surface. With the surface only heating indirectly it's really not possible for stuff to burn on nearly as badly. At least when compared to a conventional radiant electric. The surface just doesn't get as hot.

I went from induction to a house with a gas cooktop and miss the induction a lot.

It's where we get the term "escape velocity"

Because escape goats are so quick gravity can't contain them

Edit: Sorry, I guess I meant escape goat's are so quick. /s
