Oh, and I once had a papaya salad from a Thai food truck... Tiny little red pepper, only about 1" long... My mouth stayed open for a half hour after biting into that lil' devil.

I can typically handle Chinese and Mexican spicy, but India has an entirely different scale.

Back in Madison, WI, I wanted to try every aloo gobhi in town, and kept ordering more and more spice because nobody ever put enough.

Then this one place on the south side taught me a life lesson. xD

Yeah, my stage name should be how I like my Thai curry. "Haole spice".

I can take a bit of heat, significant heat even, but Thai and Indian food can go HARD on spice. I once had an aloo gobhi that was near-inedible. 🥵

"Haole" is Hawaiian for "visitor", but more commonly understood as "white". xD

As long as everybody is posting music, here's one I used to listen to a whole lot back in college. This whole album is so chill.

Taking a flight tomorrow to get my ʻukulele repaired.
(not the only reason, but one of).

There's a moʻolelo (story) about a man named "Kamoloā", which is not very flattering, regarding his epic laziness. Ends up losing his wahine by habitually sleeping on the couch instead of doing chores and housework... Harsh. xD

As an atheist, it's increasingly difficult to not believe in demons when bannon and drumpf exist.

Gotta drive it as if everyone is trying to kill you.

I quoted "band" because it's very casual. It's kind of 2 properly-named bands plus me. T'would be nice to have a clever stage name that's not the most common first name in the US.

Orban ousted and fled, ruzzia oil ports getting absolutely f*cked. After over 4 years of this stupidity, it's great to see ruzzia beginning to collapse. Can't happen fast enough.

😂

Absolutely sickening. Dude accuses the parents of being child molesters, to their face, what do you think he should expect? I hate this right-wing propaganda landscape we find ourselves in. *sigh*

Oh yeah, rebuilding. From hurricanes? That's gotta suck. :\

Hilo is almost entirely on-grid, lots of solar everywhere, but not much off-grid in town. Off-grid is way more common out in the sticks like Pahoa or Kalapana. One of our neighbors is off grid here in Volcano (generator + propane).

I feel like I need a "stage name", because the "band" I'm in is just referring to me as just my first, very very common, very very white name. Now, granted, I'm very common, and very white... But...

"Kamoloā" (lazy one)
"Kalauele" (daydreamer/distracted),
"Kepano" (my name, transliterated)

Is it common to be off-grid over there? Mostly generators, or solar?

Norway has true freedom. What the US has is free-dumb.

All politicians should be able to pass a background check and drug test. You know, like you'd have to pass to work fast food or at a daycare.

If you can't trust them around kids, or burgers, they do not belong in charge of the fucking country.

25th amendment NOW.

In Stoughton, WI, we already had a WalMart, a tiny little one, old, and cute.

They put it to a referendum to let the community decide whether to build a new massive one on the edge of town.

WE VOTED IT DOWN.

And they built it anyway. Because of course they did.

So sick of it.

Also, Fuck AI!
