GHOW-da is about the closest English approximation. The G sound is quite different in Dutch though.

Do you have sauce for these? My sons would love to see them.

Did Stubb support this?!?

Years ago we had a hedgehog wander into garden just at dusk. My cat, who was always very curious, followed the hedgehog around for about 45 minutes as it rooted around for things. The hedgehog did not care at all when my cat sniffed him and (gently) touched him/her with his paws. They do not care.

I kinda fell like Gen Z gets this right, or more right more often than the others. My Gen Z son is autistic (super high functioning, until the crash comes and he’s out for a day or more).

But his friends all understand, and many of them, although NT, identify with some of the experiences atypical people have. And I’ve seen this with his friends in the States as well. Nobody gives him shit, everyone is accommodating without making a big deal out of it.

Just seems like Gen Z will get this one right, like they have many things. Older Gen Xer posting, just for reference. Like a lot of things, Xers just didn’t know better until someone showed us.

Doing the lord’s work here.

You’re getting downvoted but I think what you need to understand is that China can do nothing, and that still helps Russia. Instead, they are trading with them and keeping their economy afloat. They don’t have to send men/material to help.

Imma need that Gnocchi recipe k thanks.

Can’t we just have AskCulinary back? Please? Kenji…?

No I think what they mean was that we did not discover (or the Japanese, rather) that we have separate receptors on our tongues for umami until fairly recently. We knew what it was, but didn’t have a proper name for it.

If you like beans, the pressure cooker is your friend, and the best one is German: Fissler.

Have an upvote to bring you back up. Looking closely I think you may be right (but I’m not an expert in these things, just do pattern recognition a lot).

FWIW, I have multiple things I should go to in the USA coming up, and neither I nor my family are willing to risk it. My two (young adult) children and I have dual USA - EU country citizenship. My wife had a green card when she lived with me in NYC for over a decade, but turned it in when we moved back long ago. These facts (let alone what my posting history is like) are just too much for us. We won’t risk it.

It’s kind of like a plane crash: very unlikely to happen but you are equally unlikely to walk away unhurt.

There is no “EU” passport, only passports of countries in the EU. I’m pretty sure you have to be 18 to attempt to immigrate (although that doesn’t stop many teenagers from going for it by working under the table until they can get a legit job to sponsor them, and pls do not think I’m encouraging that!)

S&P and Moody’s were collaborating since at least 2000 on the pricing of the so-called “esoteric” structured instruments associated with mortgaged-backed securities that caused the 4Q07 crash. They collaborated via the competitive intelligence firm Washington Information Group (which does not seem to be around anymore.) The collaboration was almost certainly illegal (IANAL). They did this because neither wanted a price war when rating these. I did sign an NDA with S&P that kept me out of the industry for two years. I left the industry shortly after that and went back to what I used to do.
