  • For the unaware, they do this for livestock shows. If you can get your cow’s coat long (by cold exposure, ideally - makes them fluffy), you can shape the hair to give them the appearance of better conformation.

    That can mean the illusion of a straighter back (basically by giving them like an eraser haircut along the back), more width in whatever areas might be lacking, a more balanced physique, etc.

    It’s a whole thing and if you go to a livestock show you’ll see people meticulously grooming their cows like this



  • If that’s what’s holding you back, don’t worry. Thai people are very chill and kind. Also the economy is very dependent on tourism, so dealing with westerners is part of that - it’s something people are used to for better and for worse. And, the US has not fucked Thailand over anywhere near as much as the surrounding countries (vietnam & cambodia, mostly, but even those folks are extremely gracious). People will appreciate you if you are kind, polite, and try to follow local customs.


  • Thai food in Thailand is nowhere near as spicy as “Thai Spicy” or even “Hot” Thai food in the states, in my experience. Some places I went it approaches or slightly exceeds “Hot”, but on the whole I think the spiciness of Thai food is way overblown.

    In my experience the spiciness levels are 1, 2, and 3 meaning 1 - 3 dried or fresh birdseye (or similar) red chilis. It’s pretty standardized and 3 is a hot but still pleasant level of spiciness. Thai people aren’t competing to see who can light their asshole on fire, they just want good food.


  • That’s why most people I know got the switch. They got it in spite of bad performance to play older 3rd party games on a portable, social format. Can play with friends, on the bus, on the couch. Don’t really need better specs to do that. Even hardcore gamers may own a switch to do that - the appeal and accessibility is very broad.

    The nintendo games are largely just a bonus, imo. They’re very expensive and I personally wouldn’t seek them out if I didn’t also own a switch. If I had kids or was a kid that’d be a different story, probably. The modern legend of zelda games, mario kart, and super smash were great though.

    A bunch of the other nintendo titles were fun, but many of them feel weirdly like mobile games with way more content or something to me - hard to explain, but they don’t feel like $60 or $70 games (to me). Something to do with the repetitive gameplay loops, visual style, and design built around levels rather than exploration/open world. Animal crossing 100% feels like less of a game than the gamecube version did - more repetitive, basically the same appearance, feels less complex.




  • It’s really easy. Linux Mint. Bootable USB. Back up your important files on a separate harddrive. Plug in USB. Reboot. Install. Port old files over. Good as new

    Bonus points for looking into how to optimize your partition structure, but it’d be fine to just let it do its thing. Also like… I guess you should probably make sure your audio and video cards are supported, but they like 98% are

    你好,来自小米的小林同志!我看到了你在罗布乐思上发出的请求,但认为并不令人满意。因此,我已在《企鹅俱乐部》上提出了自己的反提案。请在您方便时尽快予以审阅。你的头像和习近平同志一样帅。我期待与您合作。
