I can think of 2 examples, in my personal life, in the last few years where a simple passing comment in conversation perked the ears of a more experienced person and kept a couple of young people from being scammed. The addition of time was key in both.

Hard disagree. My grandma is just going to follow the scammers directions.

both a culinary choice (do I want sticky or non-sticky rice) and rinsing off contaminants (who knows who/what urinated on it even if only microscopic amounts are left, seriously)

But peanuts and white rice, the most common ones have already been 'peeled'

I'm certainly a fan of Japanese products. They are high-quality, etc. And everything was clean and orderly and amazing as a short-term visitor over 20 years ago. I would not be quick to say it is a better culture though, I suspect some negative are quite hidden, and lurking underneath the cultural norms. Again, as an outsider, I have lots of positive thoughts about Japanese culture.

Their rotisserie chicken is certainly a loss leader, even if they don't call it that.

I know 2 middle-aged to older ladies who both had bad accidents after their husbands bought or rented an e-bike for them that they did not have the skillset to handle. Months of recovery, thankfully nothing life-threatening.

> To those people I wish a slow and painful death. I'm on generally the same page, but this is a bit much.

The biggest problem I've seen with bicycles is that SOME bicyclists act like they are a car when it suits them and a pedestrian when it suits them, even when infrastructure is properly in place.

> I just choose not to be a miser and I hit yes on the lowest tip option for every purchase

Calling others a miser but always hitting the lowest tip option

Then why don't we tip at the deli counter? Or at the supermarket? Tips have always been about the service.

Speaking English well is very hard unless you were born into it, and even then people struggle

Yeah, probably. Its too bad.

I really don't like this guy, seriously he's a shark (he's probably right, but what a jerk): "If you know somebody has to liquidate, the best thing you have to do, unfortunately, sadly, Darwinian is to go sell all the positions you have in common, then start shorting everything they have. It accelerates the downfall as quickly as you can." of course then he says 'It's nothing I would ever do...'

Dropped a couple spots in my area. I like seeing the deals in the community section.

I use my well seasoned carbon steel, but with a very nice metal spatula with a fairly 'sharp' edge. It really is necessary to scrape under the egg in a quick motion. Works great even without too much oil. You do have to use some oil.
