A cool guide to sushi etiquette
  • Sashimi is usually just fish without rice. Sometimes rice is served as a side. I think it is meant for people that order Nigiri with little rice. They should just order Sashimi.

  • Did the year zero never exist ?
  • It makes sense to start with the year zero when you want to do any calculations that involve dates that where before and after year one. If an empire was founded in 50 BC and dissolved in 50 CE to calculate its age when it was dissolved you have to acknowledge that there is no year zero so instead of just calculating 50 - (-50) = 100 you have to substract one which is counter intuitive. Because it went from year 1 BC straight to 1 CE.

  • Prevalence of Diabetes in Europe
  • Type 1 diabetes only accounts for 5-10% of cases so you can assume that the numbers most likely mostly come from type 2 diabetes cases. I agree that this is making the data more imprecise than necessary but not completely useless.

  • Saying you feel like a million bucks is like 'meh' in today's economy.
  • But with a million bucks you wouldn't really be bound by location anymore. You could just retire somwhere that is cheaper and without the need to work most of your waking time you aren't even really limited by language as you have plenty of time to learn a new language.

  • Paris officially the first city in Europe to ban e-scooters. What are the rules in other countries?
  • Scooters are much cheaper than e-bikes. You can probably get two e-scooters for the price of an e-bike. They are probably closer to regular bikes in price. But regular rental bikes are less attractive to people with low fitness levels. Especially when they have airless tires.

  • Radioaktive Pilze durch Tschernobyl: Trompetenpfifferlinge mit Cäsium
  • Das sind aber 200g Pilze pro Woche. Wenn man so viel das ganze Jahr über und auch nur von den Radioaktivsten Pilzen aus dem Wald holt würde ich sagen, dass Pilze sammeln schon ein wichtiges hobby für einen ist und das gestiegene Risiko verkraftbar ist.

  • Cheesemakers experiment with microchips to authenticate Parmigiano Reggiano
  • How does a microchip help when apparently the name "Parmigiano Reggiano" isn't protected in the US? The article doesn't seem to differentiate between actual counterfeit that claims to be from the region vs. cheese that is made in the US and sold as made in the US. The chips would only help against the second kind. Also, the article claims that parmesan is one of the oldest cheeses of humankind even though it is less than a thousand years old while people have made cheese since the stone age. Personally, I don't really see a reason, that people in the US should only be able to call parmesan from Italy parmesan if most parmesan sold there is already made in the US. I don't think it really matters where the cheese is produced and it doesn't really make sense, to transport it over the ocean when it can be produced locally.

  • What do you call Marshmallow in your native language?
  • For me "Mäusespeck" are smaller marshmallows that usually come in white and pink and in different shapes. Sometimes the shape of a mouse. Marshmallows are the larger white and cylindrical or cube ones that you put on a stick to roast on a campfire before eating.
