@skinnylatte back when I was a professor, I had a weekly lunch for the grad students, and the department admin would pick a restaurant every week and order for us. One week...
"What kind of food is this?" asked one of the students who had just arrived from Shanghai, "It's very interesting, I don't think I've had anything like this before"
"It's Chinese food", one of the other students said, as his eyes widened in horror
@skinnylatte Yup, that sounds about right.
My first introduction to Singaporeans was one of my officemates in grad school. He was a really nice guy for the most part... except for the surprisingly right-wing opinions that would come out of his mouth on rare occasions. Like, I've never met anyone else who's actually *enthusiastic* about the death penalty.
Which seems like Singapore in a nutshell...
@skinnylatte I have a bunch of friends there (one of my PhD graduates is a professor at NUS now!) and it seems like a great place in so many ways... but not so much for a lot of people I know. 
#SanFrancisco friends: do you have a spare $10M burning a hole in your pocket? Have you ever wished your house looked more like a Cybertruck? If so, good news!

@rksio @irene well this sent me down a rabbit hole where I reviewed the literature on and learned to read feline EKGs, which is not necessarily a useful life skill to have
But I did find a reddit thread where someone had tried that and, no, apparently it didn't work.
Also here is a photo I found of a cat getting an EKG
@skinnylatte Minion, our fluffiest and most anxious cat, managed to chew a hole in his carrier and escape… in the <5 minutes it took to get one of the other cats into their carrier!
@skinnylatte I was deeply offended on China’s behalf when I learned what the Swiss had done to hot pot, aka “fondue Chinoise”
