  1. Useless Singapore opposition party: we will campaign on anti-LGBTQ!!

    “As far as I know, no other political parties have made a clear stance on this important issue because everyone is chasing after the 'Pink Votes'. PPP is the only political party that is making a principled stance in full clarity. ..... For a nation to survive, the family unit must be a union between male and female. I don't see how any rational voter could disagree with that.”

    Fuck off

    (Re: ai, insulin pump/cgm, etc contd)

    But this is like any tool, right?
    We have the responsibility to anticipate potential negative impacts and prioritize strategies to avoid them. (Especially the "we" that has the societal "power")

    🤹‍♀️:

    -re death, see "dead in bed," "severe lows", etc
    -also, at least 2 common scenarios where the ai's "failsafes" fail.

  3. I scanned the same photo 3 different ways.

    1. Fuji Frontier
    2. Nikon Coolscan 8000 ED with VueScan + NLP
    3. Nikon Coolscan 8000 ED with VueScan color inversion for Kodak Portra setting

    Pros and cons to each type of scanning.

    Once I get NikonScan working, I will compare that as well.

    Right now my 2 main fave ways to scan are with Fuji Frontier (I rent it at a darkroom) or with my CoolScan with VueScan and NLP.

  4. MBARI discovers new species of sea slug in the deep sea. It ‘swims with a fingered tail and uses a cavernous hood to capture food’

  5. I hope everyone who wilfully puts their car in a crosswalk so nobody can walk safely gets their cars randomly keyed from time to time, and a lifetime of unexpected parking tickets

  6. I think the people saying half dome isn’t scary are maybe honest, as if you have extensive outdoors experience it probably isn’t. But for the average person, it is scary and dangerous.

    When I did it, I was a moderately fit person who still had to train a bit in order to complete the many-hours long hike and climb. The dangers there are if you go on your own or with people who aren’t experienced there are so many ways it can go wrong.

    I was fine because I went with a group with guides and they were like if you’re scared I will escort you back down. If I’d just gone with some random group I would not have felt so safe.

    Still one of the scarier things I’ve done. I have also not been as exhausted as I was hiking to, then climbing it, then hiking back to camp. I almost fell asleep walking back.

  7. I came across a local crafter making merino beanies DYED WITH PURPLE SEA URCHINS (urchins are super invasive and we need to remove them asap from areas where there’s kelp for the rest of the animals and kelp) and of course I’m going to get one

    You can get it at the Sealevel SF holiday bazaar Dec 14-22 or message Seelie Studio

  8. People say media representation doesn’t matter but it was because of Minari that we got really important cultural conversations: everyone realizing that most East Asians have dry ear wax, and East Asians being surprised to learn there’s a wet kind.

  9. My first two years in the U.S., I put myself through an intensive self-directed boot camp to learn to cook the way I like to eat. It was my first time living semi-permanently outside of Southeast Asia, which meant all the ways I knew how to eat were over (‘yell out of the window and get delicious street food’). At first it started with learning to cook the things I missed.

  10. Living in Singapore we were always on top of the latest food trends in Japan (hugely competitive Japanese dining scene, with many operators from all over Japan figuring out it’s easier to make good money with all kinds of regional cuisines and desserts in Singapore)

    So I’m already a decade into the ‘basil and cheese’ on udon or ramen trend. Anyway, I just had that here in SF.

    I missed it terribly. It’s not for everyone. (The Aomori udon at Taniku)

    In the Peninsula and South Bay, Ramen Nagi has always had a delicious green ramen with the same vibes (also my fave ramen in this whole area. Yes it’s a chain. Yes it’s better than all the fancy ones with awards.)

  11. The Japanese food scene in Singapore, KL, Bangkok and Taipei were amazing frankly. I mean excluding Japan.

    It was easy to get anything we saw that was popular or trendy in Japan, immediately. Those cities just had large Japanese expat populations and chefs.

    One of my school friends in high school was also from Japan and their family ran a cute little eatery in their living room. We went often. It was delicious and home cooked.

    Now you can get stuff at every price range in those places. Roasted sweet potato filled with Hokkaido butter? 24/7 in some places. Fluffy cheesecakes? Strawberry sando? Good quality gyoza? All super easy. Endless ramen variations and types.

    I miss that terribly. Compared to whatever this is, Japanese food as fine dining mostly, where I am.

    If I see another $250-350pp Japanese place in SF that’s not even good as good as a $50 place in LA / Bangkok / Singapore, I’m going to cry.

  12. Why nobody told me Kailash Parbat is in the Bay Area (one of my fave Mumbai restaurants)
