Yeah I guess so, and it definitely is tough to tell with them. I've seen them darker and lighter on different plates is the concerning part... (3679)

Huh, that is weird, lol. Talking about it is making me want to try some unusual meats though... In the past, whenever I had the chance, I wasn't as adventurous with food as I am now. (3680)

Yeah it is strange but I've also had a couple different proteins. Definitely good to try but have to make sure it's done right... (3681)

Yeah, that's probably good to bear in mind. Your mentioning that questionably prepared seafood made me remember just how low food safety standards can be in some countries. (3682)

Yes very much so, makes it difficult and always have to cut into stuff to make sure it's not still pink or you find a surprise... (3683)

That's actually kinda educational. It makes perfect sense now that you say it, but, having never had to do it before, it's not something I would have thought people have to do. (3684)

I guess that's the way I grew up though, going to different places I would make sure it was made right or at least properly. Unfortunately it's hard to tell at times and it's the little details you forget to check I guess (3685)

So you often travelled abroad from a young age, then? (3686)

Not at all but I've tried from many different places. There are a lot of options in my area. Like there is a little Jamaican place about 10m from me. (3687)

Oh, ok. Got it. What do you get there? Can't say I've tried Jamaican food. (3688)

I enjoy the jerk chicken or ox tail I'd say the most. Still plenty for me to try but I was content with the main stuff I got. Think I'll change it up more often now. (3689)

What's the appeal of ox tail? Is the meat super soft or something? (3690)

It was really tender and good. Maybe it's based on the way they season it and take their time for it. (3691)

That does sound good. About what would you say is your ideal level of spiciness in foods?
(3692)

I'll go with medium more than likely for spice. I like the small kicks and flavor it can add and not feel like I'm burning off my tongue. What about you ? What would your spice level be? (3693)

Probably something like very or extra hot. Whichever of those comes out to enough to induce a sweat, where the pain, despite being in your face, isn't the main attraction, and when the flavor of the food isn't overwhelmed by that of the spice. I can tolerate more, but at that point I would be just doing it for the love of the game and not to enjoy the flavor of the food. (3694)

Fair enough, I remember in the past that I did the blazing wings challenge at BWW. Wasn't that great
...... (3695)

Did you win, though? :v (3696)

No I struggled with the last one or 2 (3697)

Ah, you were so close, but you didn't finish? (3698)

Nope was too hot after a while, took them home and did after a while. (3699)

Happy 3700. Also, this profile post got moved to the top of another page. I like the new look. (3700)

It did??? Wow and 3700 already is crazy for a forum of a server that doesn't exist anymore (3701)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTYN_GyjFBA

It's quite funny to come back to the forum ever 3-4 weeks or so and still see you guys posting here. Truly an impressive sight.

Doing my part for random (3704)

Maybe I ought to also keep this alive a bit more proactively, rather than just checking it every few weeks. (3705)

I forgot to check it for a while, but someone had said about the forum being down and I needed to check. Welcome to the keeping the forum alive team with random (3706)

Is that a @Romkelolol I see? What a scrub. (3707)

It is and it's crazy to see more names pop up to keep it rolling. (3708)

It did feel like it took a bit longer to load today. I was actually worried for a moment that the forums had completely died at long last. (3709)

The forums feel slower on my end as well, and not just on this page. Not sure why that would be, though. (3710)

The site is crumbling. We are the only ones keeping it alive. We are the pillars holding up ancient history... (3711)

I wonder how much longer this page has to go... (3712)

We will go on into infinity! Till the heat death of the universe!

Or until the forum limit is reached. There might be a limit set to the number of responses. (3713)

Wouldn't that be something? Guess getting to 9999 is the first order of business then. (3714)

We're over a third of the way there. I'm sure we can do it. Just gotta keep chatting.

So, you guys watching the world cup as well?

I guess the goal will be 9999, and no I've never been into watching it honestly. (3716)

Understandable. I was pretty excitedly watching the Netherlands and Japan. Shame they both got knocked out so early on, so I don't have any real team I am eagerly cheering for rn. (3717)

I might look into that honestly, I've been more so watching UFC, wrestling, and sometimes boxing. (3718)

I've been more so watching my computer screen all day, working like a dog. ;-; (3719)

Yeah definitely sounds about right... I'll be back to work next week, recently had projects delayed due to rain and then holiday weekend (3720)

I've been doing plenty of fieldwork for my master thesis. It's nice going outside and working in a field, but it can also be extremely exhausting. Especially given the travel time needed to get to the field I work at. (3721)

Dying in this heat honestly... (3722)

Oi, first you've mentioned a master's thesis Romke. That's cool. (3723)

It's a ton of fun, but can be a bit intense. Not just for me, but for the insects I need to study. Apparently, 32C weather doesn't just make it difficult for humans to sit in the sun... (3724)

Oh? I don't wanna be in that weather either (3725)

Today's weather was perfect for it. Shame that so many of the insects I am studying just... died in the past week or so :( (3726)

That's not good, do you collect insects as well then? Keep them somewhere (3727)

Basically, have to capture caterpillars I release onto certain plants for them to be parasitized. They've got three days out in the open before I collect them. But if the weather isn't perfect, the poor bastards die pretty easily. (3728)
