When I was a kid I had one of those cardboard and flexi vinyl 'record players'. It was a 'free gift' from the Tayto crisp company. That was about 35 years ago. Nothing new here except for the troubling increase in people wanting to share their private lives with complete strangers.
I can finally learn to get water from a dropper and depress a lever to release seeds and nuts. These are skills I never learned because I was off sick from school that day and my brain refused to allow me to develop them. Hooray for science! But Doctor, will I be able to play the piano after the brain simulation treatment? Yes! That's great I've never been able to play the piano before. etc.
Exactly. And this dickishness just served to encourage the 'ha ha the Chinese are so stupid they can't even pronounce letters properly' idiots. Seriously,/. can be so lame sometimes.
Drat! My shopping plans for the future have been foiled. Oh, I forgot, I don't have any money to buy anything anyway! Problem solved. Now I can get back to my basement life, rags for clothes and a future of cooking supermarket manager specials.
Indians have been considered caucasian and even white - whatever either of those terms mean. All race classification is meaningless as far as I'm concerned and the evidence I think is in the fact that such classifications have changed over the centuries and even now still vary widely depending on which country/nation/group is doing the classification. It is indeed a dead horse that need be flogged no longer, but there are those that will persist with it.
My point was that the (ignorant patronizing) guy who brought up Indian food in the first place was pretty close to accusing the guy (anonymous coward) who reasonably offered the opinion that too much 'heat' was not for him. It was an impetuous idiotic leap by 'lonelytrail' and I shouldn't have taken the bait.
To close, I would like to say that as an Irish person, I do not identify with either the classification of 'white or 'caucasian' as I view any such classifications demeaning. This in light of the fact that Irish people were barely allowed human status until relatively recently. So they got to be human before black, people. No achievement in that. I'm all for miscegenation, mixing it all up, culturally in all aspects, food, music, art etc. I call an end to the likes of 'lonelytrail' sitting on his fat arse making jackass illogical assumptions. And...I love food from all parts of the world - spicy is good - too 'hot' is not for me. I can take a reasonable amount of heat, but prefer to taste the food. Russia isn't Asia, but they lay claim to a lot of land that is in Asia. That's my understanding anyway.
Racism? Indians are usually considered caucasian not that I have much time for race classification myself. So what are you getting at? He was stating a personal opinion. Not racist. Not even bigotted. And not all Indian food is 'hot'. A lot of it is spicy - as in, using a lot of spices which are flavourful but not necessarily 'hot'. And yes some of it is hot.
The newer versions also seem to get more and more bloated and require more powerful computers to do the same stuff as previous versions of the software. I've never understood this. And the fact that each new version breaks compatability of older file versions with the new software version is a nasty tactic. Professional designers are forced to upgrade whether or not they can afford to, or indeed want to. This applies both to the hardware and software. On the Mac, you must have an Intel processor to use the latest version of Adobe CS!
Hah! on the audio side of things they have Ardour 2 which I found really hard to use. They say on the site that it is "geared toward people familiar with Pro-Tools". I can assure you it is not! Similarly Gimp is not geared toward people familiar with Photoshop. These alternatives which I would love to use and support simply need to be better than they are. I don't expect to see that happening soon.

Yes it is!
Man, I hate getting shot!
Yes, but import only!
I tried it about two years ago and found it impossible. I doubt that it will have changed so radically in that space of time to make it usable.
Not available in the US!

worse still, they are hipster WHORES!
Exactly what I thought. And, also what whores these people are. The couple and the designer!
But beer is very expensive in Scandinavian countries! The price of beer is not a valid unit of measurement.
10 euro per month is an awful lot of money to pay for music! It just doesn't seem quite right.

My brother had a dentist whose name was Doctor Hu. So there. True story.
Thank you sir, I enjoyed this commercial more than any I have seen for several years.

TMI. Ew.

Scotch bonnets give me hiccups. I like the color and taste and can take the 'heat' but I can't bear the hiccups!
They would never let me in regardless of whether I passed the test or not. Next.
Let me guess. It was in NYC?
'Judges are pretty smart people'? Hmmm. Good luck with that delusion. Sure some of them must be, but many must not. They are human afterall!
