Fall Season 2024

[KrayZ33]

However, I have a big disdain against the term "Brötchen", because it's just a cutification of the word "Brot" which is "bread" in German. And there's no need to use a cutified word when we have proper words for distinct things. We don't say "Autochen" to small cars, either.

That's how language works though.
And we use it with a million other words.
The fact that regions have different words für the small version is already showing that Brötchen is the better word, because everyone knows what Brot is because Brot on the other hand is used everywhere, even in Austria and Switzerland.

Dreierbrotchen, Hutzel, Kipfl, Laabla, Laib, Polltaube, Rundstück, Schrippe, Schuster, Weck, Wecke, Wecken, Zeile, Zeilensemmel

vs

Brötchen which means small bread. G_G.
It's super efficient too:

1 Brötchen
5 Brötchen
einmal zwei halbe Hahn.

maybe we have "strict" rules for what counts as bread because it's part of religious ceremonies?
Jewish faith makes a big deal about eating bread over sabbath. Christianity has the "bread as the body of Christ" thing. so I think that impacts how we view bread as thing you consume with others (a loaf of bread), with everything else being off-shoots and schisms.

Hebrew also has a female-diminutive suffixed bread
bread is לחם
a personal bun is לחמניה

[shinta|hikari]

That is a really good point and perspective. I am not religious at all, so that didn't even factor into my thinking.

Ao no Miburo 8th episode.

still forgettable, previous episode did have one good moment, which was completely wasted on a character we don't really know.
animation is lacking, plot is stupid, main character is as annoying as they come, too big a cast, and nothing really happens.

MF Ghost E21

----------------






Italian pasta better in Japan than London? From what I've heard online, Japan bastardises pasta sauces quite a lot at non dedicated places. Not sure about "authentic" places, and no idea what London's like though.

And they went and turbocharged the 86 ;(. The whole linear throttle response is the charm of the NA. I'd have advocated more for a supercharger. That said, Kanata is running the first gen 86, so I guess you might as well fix the 4K rpm torque dip.

EP22




Well as the 86 is powered by a subaru 2L flat four, it's quite natural it gets a turbo. And all the parts are easily available thanks to,the brz sibling and I bet lots of aftermarket kits. We have to remember the last car we've seen Takumi driving was a subaru STI... I guess it's some kind of string.

As for the power curve, I'm pretty that for 300hp only it's a very fast spooling small turbo. Probably with an equal length exhaust manifold and twin exhaust turbine. This allows for very fast throttle response and very low lag in the torque/power band. At least it's probably totally unnoticeable compared to using a manual gearbox...
This kind of setting allows for a very linear power curve with no dips or overboost, at least at a very conservative power figure.

Funnily enough the subs translated a line in this episode as "I was surprised by how easy it was to drive in spite of the flat torque curve" when that's exactly what would make it easy to drive.

Why the fuck are you guys discussing off topic shit instead of bread??

[David75]

Because MF Ghost is the bread and butter of fall 2024 season?

Orihime eats bread for single serve and pan for multiple serves.

[shinta|hikari]

WTF are those top frames???

[MFauli]

Orihime eats bread for single serve and pan for multiple serves.

rofl, biting into a whole loaf of toast bread like that. She'd be fat irl.

[KrayZ33]

It's amazing.... and beautiful.
Look at the size of that thing.
Imagine getting a slice. It's bigger than her head - a slice, that is.

[shinta|hikari]

Do Germans ever cut off the crust of their bread? For sandwiches etc.

In Japan, they do that to practically all sandwiches.

Only little children would ask their parents to do this in Germany. Otherwise it's seen both as a huge waste AND the crust is also seen as delicious.

Now, it might be different for pre-packaged toast-sandwhiches, but I don't eat those.

[KrayZ33]

can confirm, I think I did this sometimes when I was like 5 yo or something.
But the crust is basically the best part.
Germans in general eat... harder(?) bread.. or is more robust the better word? Don't know how to call it.
Even though I like white bread as well, I believe rye-wheat bread is the most common and most bought kind of bread, and lots of bread has extra stuff on the crust too, so yeah... like MFauli said.

Perhaps these pre-packaged toast thingies that you can buy in a discounter that only expire after 10 years or whatever are cut, but barely anyone eats those here. I think I ate at most one or two in my life time you basically never see anyone buying them. Not sure how common they are in other countries.
I would have to almost starve to even consider buying them, because there is always a bakery somewhere close with the fresh and better version.

Like seriously, basically no one buys sandwiches in Germany.
It's almost always buns that are prepared by bakeries with salami or cheese etc. if someone wants something on the go.
And of course "Frikadellenbrötchen" ... which is basically a cold hamburger. Not even sure what the english word for that one would be.

[shinta|hikari]

By virtue of them being sold, that means someone is buying them, right? Are they for foreigners or something? Or lunch for kids when parents don't want to prepare any?

[Death BOO Z]

I also see them in super-markets here. never tried them myself, but I guess it's for families with lots of kids and low income.
edit: something like this, but cheaper.

I was thinking about that too, but I really have no idea, it's not like they even get a lot place in the shelf, usually I only see like at most 4-6 of those stocked.
The last time I saw them was in Switzerland, but I'm sure they are here somewhere too.

I remember seeing a vending machine with them, that's freaking disgusting too.

It's awkward too considering that most supermarkets here have a bakery, where you can get really good shit.
Back when I went to school people usually went there in their free time in between hours and got I nice cheesybun with eggs, ham, salad and remoulade sauce etc.

I really don't know how these things survive/can still exist.

Re: bread:

Not sure how common they are in other countries.

In Australia I'd say this is the default bread. The most common bread. If you asked for bread, this is what you'd get. This was what "bread" was for me for a long time, and anything else in the bakery was "fancy bread". And fancy bread was often hard whenever I tried it as a kid.

MF Ghost ep 23


Kanata's "gender doesn't matter" thing felt forced. Even in situations where gender doesn't matter, the natural response is to just say "Girl. Why?" His response sounded super defensive - as if he knew why. I don't think he did. I just think it was weird.

Ren getting so close to the train tracks was also weird, surely if you're dizzy you sit down but I guess she has the anime fainting syndrome. And you diagnose anemia on a blood test but anyway. Maybe she's had one before.

But all that's done to give Kanata the elbow nerf for this race.

Interestingly despite setting Nozomi up as improving faster than her brother, he qualified higher than her on the ladder.

Looks likes a custom dual clutch transmission for the 86 is possible, but costs like... 25K USD or something lol.
