It’s not about openability, it’s about lockability. A container could unopenable without being lockable.

You won’t be too surprised by some of them actually: bog, bourbon, druid, shamrock, corgi, whiskey, crumpet. Others you’ll find here have more circuitous routes where maybe just one phoneme stems from old Gaelic or something, into Latin, into Germanic or Old French, then into Old English, like “ambassador.” I’m guessing most of the really Celtic words are used in the British Isles more than elsewhere in the English-speaking world.

Yeah actually, add some chili, you’ve basically got tajin, I can see that. Indian cuisine has awesome chili potatoes, I wouldn’t be surprised if there usually citrus in there.
Soy sauce, sugar, sake, and mirin.. Garlic, ginger, chili, etc are all excellent additions, but aren’t necessary traditional. But as is kind of the main theme of this comment section’s discussion, nothing’s really “traditional” until thousands of people have done it thousands of different ways and enough time passes to be able to put it into some kind of historical and often geographic context. That is to say, I’m just a white guy on the Internet who’s done a fairly shallow amount of research into this subject, so definitely don’t take my word as teriyaki gospel.
They’re saying they look alike


Psh, English is like half French, and prescriptivism is bad linguistics.


Because modern English is a combination of ancient Celtic languages with the various languages of the British Isles’s numerous populators and conquering forces across history, including but not limited to: Latin, German, Norse, and French. And spelling wasn’t really standardized until the printing press was invented, due in part to class stratification. But that’s another story lol. Suffice it to say, it’s more than a bit of a hodgepodge and you just gotta take it for what it is.
Meh, it’s different operations. The bread is already baked before you make the sandwich, pizza dough is raaaaaw.
This reminds me of working in a brewery/restaurant kitchen in the middle of a rich Midwestern suburb (read: white as white gets), we wanted to do teriyaki wings. Instead of letting us make our own sauce, our idiot manager brought in a premade sauce made by a Chinese company in “the Korean style”. So it was a Chinese-made Korean-style Japanese-American sauce. Fucking what? Especially silly considering real teriyaki sauce is just four very easily attainable ingredients in more-or-less equal parts.
And you don’t boil avocados for guac
Edit: or add citrus to mash. I was going to say you can’t add dairy to guac, but guac and sour cream go very well together. Def no butter or milk though shudder


No a good scientist tests hypotheses so they know if they’re right or wrong. “Mainstream consensus science” is science that has been tested over and over and found, by scientific consensus, to be as correct as we currently understand. It, by definition, has tons of evidence.


Why glance and see approximately when you can glance and see exactly?
The fun things about losing respect for one teacher’s credentials is it also casts doubt on every teacher’s credentials. It was pretty depressing to learn that academia is driven more by ego than by knowledge and education.
Nah I was just legitimately confused by the phrasing. It having two meanings doesn’t really qualify it as weird either imo. Lots of old symbols have had multiple meanings, I’d wager all of them even.


I agree, they definitely lost the “Who can make the most braindead stupid argument” competition…congrats on your big win 🤣🤣🤣


No, the vast majority of accusations are not designed, they’re just the truth. Sounds like this dude was already sexist though, why would this only keep him from helping women of a vague-yet-predetermined age? Anyone could make such a claim and ruin someone’s life. If he said he refused to help people of the same skin color as her, would that justify being racist? This woman clearly has a diagnosable mental disorder, it doesn’t exactly point to a gender-wide conspiracy, and it certainly doesn’t belie the claim that women have more to fear from men than men do from women. Chivalry should die, it’s just window dressing for systemic gender inequality.
Idk, depends how good it is. In today’s market, ≤$2/serving is actually pretty good even for middling handmade baked goods. One slice at a restaurant would be 3 times that, on the low end, the high end could be the whole $17 or more. But also, yeah, no one needs cheesecake lol.
