Vanilla is the best ice cream flavour, and that's the reason it's the "default" flavour.

Likewise with pepperoni pizza.

Make deviled eggs, but first melt a tin of anchovies and their oil in a skillet, then mix that with the yolk mixture. It's heavenly.

We said the exact same thing about seasons but you still don't know what arbitrary means lol. Seasons are not a random occurrence.

Fister Roboto posted:

Seasons aren't arbitrary at all. They're based on the amount of sunlight. On the equinoxes, you get 12 hours of sunlight and 12 hours of night. The summer solstice is the longest day, and the winter solstice is the longest night. This is true no matter where you are on the planet.
Oh, I get it. You guys don't realise that seasons start at different times in different countries. Some countries choose (arbitrarily) to base it on the equinoxes. Other countries choose (also arbitrarily) to base it on calendar months. I like the calendar month system better because it doesn't require me to know what or when an equinox is.

*If* and only *if* it uses actual vanilla beans in the recipe to the extent where they leave them in, as opposed to just vanilla essence.

There is a high-end gelati store in Melbourne I visit when I'm up there that has this. Shame it's expensive, but you do get what you pay for.

You can melt anchovies?

Anchovies are one of the few foods that genuinely disgust me. I'll generally eat anything but there is something so gross about the taste of them to me. I even like other canned fishes. That and okra are the only foods I can't stand that I've tried.

Sometimes when I'm feeling adventurous, I'll put a little Worcestershire sauce on my steak to give it a little savory kick. Tastes good, man.

I think it's better to use as a dipping sauce, otherwise it overpowers the flavor of the steak.

wikipedia posted:

In 1780 the Societas Meteorologica Palatina (which became defunct in 1795), an early international organization for meteorology, defined seasons as groupings of three whole months as identified by the Gregorian calendar. Ever since, professional meteorologists all over the world have used this definition.

...

In Sweden and Finland, meteorologists use a non-calendar based definition for the seasons based on the temperature. Spring begins when the daily averaged temperature permanently rises above 0 °C, summer begins when the temperature permanently rises above +10 °C, summer ends when the temperature permanently falls below +10 °C and winter begins when the temperature permanently falls below 0 °C.

...

some countries like Australia, New Zealand, and Russia prefer to use meteorological reckoning.

...

Some calendars in south Asia use a six-season method where the number of seasons between summer and winter can number from one to three. The dates are fixed at even intervals of months.
In the Hindu calendar of tropical and subtropical India, there are six seasons or Ritu that are calendar-based in the sense of having fixed dates: Vasanta (spring), Greeshma (summer), Varsha (monsoon), Sharad (autumn), Hemanta (early winter), and Shishira (prevernal or late winter).

Oh for sure, I'm not drowning the steak in it. I'll mostly use it when a steak is over cooked or cooked in some weird way, my sister basically boils steak when she cooks it and I don't have the heart to tell her so I bust out the a1 and it makes it much better.

don't worry too much about it, it's my understanding that it doesn't actually get above 0°C in finland so according to their definition seasons other than winter are just comforting lies

wee children are brought up on fairy tales of temperatures permanently rising over 10°C never to go back again

I loving loved Fury Road, but when Nux gets that :smug: who killed the world :smug: putdown aimed at him it struck me as weird and hurt itself a bit. Nux wasn't even born before the apocalypse happened and is just as much a victim of Immortan Joe as anyone else. Shifting blame onto Nux was a really weird moment that seemed at odds with its message.

They aren't blaming Nux for the apocalypse, they are blaming him for following Immortan Joe's death cult and trying to get him to stop doing that.

Far from being arbitrary, those seem like the only ways of marking it that make sense.

So you have two different measures: one that starts on the first day of a month and encompasses the next two months which is less accurate but easier to remember for the layman, and another one which is trickier to remember but a great deal more specific and based off of a very specific natural occurrence. Even in the first model you're picking it so that it roughly maps to the second one.

Arbitrary would be like if you flipped a coin to decide it or something.

I agree with this, but the ones "bullying" you shouldn't be your peers. There should be a formal system with rules and regulations where the teachers are allowed to mold you into a functional person. The way it works now you have bullies beating on weak people with no supervision and no recourse if they go too far without subjecting yourself to more intense bullying. Let teachers have absolute authority and I think we'd be a lot better off. Coddling helps nobody.
