AI fucking sucks and all but my country is pushing for clean nuclear power in order to meet the energy demands of AI and data centres, so I guess there's some silver lining probably

Fairy Tail is a funny shonen series, in a sense that it's chock-full of fanservice and bikinis and naked guys, but never once do I feel horny about it. Like, so what if Erza is fighting half-naked? She's beating the crap over that other guy? And what if Lucy lost her clothes? Nobody in-universe even cares and she's currently in a life-n-death situation.

The series normalised it all soo much that it's still attractive but not horny-attractive. Fairy Tail is the shonen equivalent of a nudist beach -- everyone's naked but nobody cares. I love you, Hiro Mashima.

Hotdogs should always be boiled. Grilled hotdogs? Get the abhorrence of nature out of here.

Hotdog opinion?

Hotdogs should be bathed in God's holy springs

I like my dogs burned in Satan's hellfire powered by farts

Trump faced *(checks online)* FOUR different assassination attempts which sucked so bad that all it did was make him more popular

And now some guy successfully did the deed on the CEO of one of the largest insurance companies in America

What a way to end the year

A few years ago when I was in college, I didn't know that Thanksgiving was an American holiday so I, a Malaysian in Germany, decided to buy, season and roast a whole turkey leg during that day.

Things that I learned within a short period of time:

Thanksgiving is an American holiday

Even if I was in America, I had no reason to celebrate it to begin with

Aldi (a German supermarket) sold whole turkey legs for some reason, as well as ostrich eggs

Turkeys were a lot bigger than I thought they were

It is not that hard to cook a turkey leg

I, a 5'7" Malaysian boy, am unable to finish a whole turkey leg by myself in one sitting, with a side of mashed potato, pomegranate salad and chicken gravy

None of my housemates ate turkey :(

It took me 3 days to finish that turkey and I enjoyed it immensely.

I'm bored so here's a recipe for beef cream stew I made.

Ingredients

150g Beef, cut into small bite-sized chunks about as thick as your thumb

1 Yellow Onion, cut into 12ths (that means cut into quarters, then for each 1/4ths, cut into thirds)

1 Carrot, cut into bite-sized chunks

1-2 Potatoes (depends on the person but I like using soft starchy potatoes), cut to similar volume to the carrot

Broccoli (optional, same volume)

Full cream (milk if unavailable)

Emmental cheese (or any white, springy and melty cheese you have), cut into small pea-sized chunks.

Water and oil

Spices

Coriander seeds

Rosemary, dried

Thyme, dried

Salt

White pepper (preferably powdered)

Bay leaf

Black pepper (optional)

Steps

Grab your coriander seeds, rosemary, thyme and salt, and grind them up to a coarse mix (either by a grinder or a mortar and pestle). You can also grind the white pepper if it's not a powder, otherwise just add it in later.

Rub your cut beef with the spice mix. Make sure your beef is patted dry before doing this.

Preheat your pot, add your oil and put your beef in it. Cook until it develops a crust and the pot forms a fond.

Remove the beef, add onions in the same pot and cook until soft and only a slight change in color.

Add potatoes and carrots, mix, then add the beef at top. Finally, add water and let it simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid burning. You can add your bay leaf here.

Check if ingredients are now soft. Make sure the pot has sufficient water during the whole thing.

After 30 minutes, turn the heat to low and temporarily remove the pot from the stove to stop the simmering. Once stopped, put it back on. Add cream (or milk, if that's what you have) and optionally broccoli. Also add your freshly ground black pepper (optional). Constantly stir the pot to avoid curdling.

After 2-3 minutes, add the cheese. Continue to cook and stir until the cheese fully melts and incorporates into the stew. Season to taste.

Done. That's it. I've never made cream stew before so I looked up online and made one. The original recipe was a bit different, so consider this my interpretation. It's good and you can store it in the fridge and reheat with a microwave and it's still good. This is worth about 3-4 portions, depending on the person. I made mine in the weekends and I like it.
