Autistic 19th century dandy: my safe foods are Cornish game hen and malted milk
#Ok different century but something like this is where the original ''restaurants'' as we know it in Europe came from#iirc in 1760s they were. ok this is my phrase. like 'food spas' where they'd serve bouillon as a restorative (hence restaurant) dish#And iirc the elite would make a big deal of signifying their refinement and delicacy by basically saying#They needed to eat bouillon#but in terms of having choices presented in a menu#These were the first restaurants#But yeah their clientele were French nobles whose safety foods were fancy broths

phew right as I think I start developing a crush, an unexpected — but much appreciated and reciprocated — angle reaches out. I stay carefree and nonchalant

You know what I've never really seen realistically depicted in fiction? The way that people in places that get a huge amount of snow deal with said snow. Specifically in the cities. I get that it's probably not exactly an intuitive thing to think about if you've never lived in a place that gets a lot of snow, and even if you do, you probably figure that they must have some really sophisticated infrastructure systems specifically for this purpose. It's not like they'll just scoop the snow off the streets and gather it into huge piles, and then just climb over the progressively larger and larger snow piles every single year for months while waiting for the piles to melt in the spring.
We do. There's no point in planning more sophisticated systems to get rid of something that'll eventually just go away on its own. So they just pile the snow into randomly designated spaces that cars or people aren't supposed to go through, and let it pile up. There's significantly less street parking available in the winter because some spots where you could otherwise park a car are currently the parking spot of a snow pile three times taller than a car.
You get used to it. And if you grow up around here, it never even occurs to you to think of it as something strange in the first place.

#Running reading room account stats at my old job was fun because Americans never put their country in#So in my analysis of the data I noted ''blank country field can broadly be assumed to be from the US''#Which was TRUE#When I was doing the excel automations I was this close to having the chart just display them as the same block#But figured it might be misleading for the like. Ridiculously small group of non-Americans who left it blank

These days each evening has sights worth writing about in the Book of Wisdom, and every morning something to reflect on in the Book of Evil
