  • deer - clean but mineraly, also lean

    goat - like lamb but more barn flavor

    alligator - like chicken pork fish

    frog legs - like chicken fish

    goat testes - like the white of an egg but kinda musty (would not eat again)

    snails - chewy

    crawfish - tastes like a “muddier” lobster

    shark fin soup - had it once in a restaurant decades ago, it was kinda gelatinous but slightly sticky

    sea urchin - I didn’t like this, but the ones I’ve seen in sushi restaurants look different (paler) than the ones I see fresh from the ocean, so it might be a freshness thing

    eel - fatty and denser meat similar to the texture of mahi mahi

    wagyu - I’ve had a few slices of this before, and I find it overrated (I find steak in general overrated). However I had it seared on a pan and it was thinly sliced already so it might’ve just been too nuked to taste good



  • I think the clickwheel design is, in my view, the single best one-thumb no-looking-required input scheme for an MP3 player I think anyone has ever made. Plug it into, say, my car stereo AUX port and I can pick it up with a free hand to control volume, select tracks, and even navigate mostly by memory without having to look at the thing. I can just tell where I am based on the feel of the control. Infinitely better than a featureless flat slab of a touch screen that gives you no sensory feedback.

    can’t most of these things be achieved easily by physical buttons too? of course everything is better than touch screen buttons











  • Things that are hard to believe still exist:

    • Linux
    • VLC media player
    • Pirate Bay (torrents/filesharing in general)
    • hard drives
    • email
    • google earth

    Being a somewhat tech illiterate millennial (only knows how to navigate windows and passed a data structures class) it feels like any of these things could be eventually taken out next (probably not Linux just because it’d be the hardest)

    I wouldn’t at all be surprised if they found a way to monetize hard drives into a subscription based storage service

    Mostly I don’t understand much, but I know that I witnessed the internet turn from a fast clickable diverse wonderland to a place dominated by 6 websites which take up 4GB RAM to run, followed by the further decline of youtube (started going for ADHD related results in 2011), google (search results started sucking in 2019) and reddit (mods started getting banhappy in 2020)
