I mean. I'll level with you, I've never actually figured out what the hell the G is supposed to mean to begin with. I understand it more or less in relation to gravity and whatnot, but wireless networks, or whatever the blazes it is? No damn clue.

What I do know is that doing crap like doubling the number as a marketing trick is horseshit that makes it even less meaningful as a term and should rightfully be responded to by throwing rotten fruit at them.

Haven't been doing either, heh. Just frying straight after cutting/seasoning. It's probably worth noting I can cheerfully eat a potato literally unseasoned at basically any level of cooking that won't actively poison me, so... my potato standard is basically "Is potato, eat" barring some seasoning/additive dislikes.

It'd probably work better if I boiled the potatoes a bit beforehand, though, now that you mention it. Dunno if I'll actually do it at some point, because I mostly don't really want to cook most days (one of the reasons this reduced salt diet is an absolute pain in the ass -- I don't mind the taste, I just don't want to have to prep and cook just about bloody everything in order to actually have a meal with a sodium content that isn't "whoops, that's it for the day"), but that sounds like a good idea.

it's been like two weeks so i bump to say this

Cashews in rice: Yes.

I mean, it is in the ameripol thread, silly

At lesst from an enforcement standard, I guess.

I found a song I heard on college radio back in the late noughts!  The trick was that I kept searching for "Every little thing she does is magic"

that just kept finding the police song, didn't it

Monopoly wouldn't be great, no, but this is your daily reminder EA is only about 50% larger than such notables as... Roblox. Way, way smaller than microsoft already is. EA being eaten by MS wouldn't really change much, market share wise.

One's just less formal. Meaning's identical, situational usage is different.

• Ukraine is soft-sieging Crimea via water supply

For what it's worth, my understanding is that this isn't actually true; Crimea has a fully sufficient amount of local water for its population, it'd be largely impossible to "siege" it by cutting off the water Ukraine used to supply to it as part of, well, Ukraine. The folks in Crimea weren't and aren't going to run out of water without aggressive mismanagement getting involved.

What happened is that Ukraine didn't continue to supply all the water Crimea needed for its agriculture exports without, y'know, being sufficiently paid given everything involved with an annexed portion of its country wanting Ukraine to continue to maintain a hostile region's civil infrastructure. Which made a sufficient amount of water to cover that suddenly... expensive. Not missing, because the area still produced a massive pile of stuff to ship out (if at the expense of its water table, but again, see mismanagement), but expensive. Something likely could have been negotiated on that front, but, well. Probably a little late at this point.

Video might have addressed that more fully, but just to make that more clear for the folks that don't want to watch a video, heh.
