This is hilarious. “Liaozi” you say? How do you say this (phoenetically?). In Chinese, one way to say dumpling is 餃子, which, when phoenetically romanized, would be “JiaoZi” (for Mandarin).
Ha, it was a few short years ago for a quick business trip. As business trips go, they are always the same to me - plane, airport, taxi, hotel, office, meeting, car, office, meeting, lunch, office, meeting, hotel, ambien (or lunesta), sleep. Repeat for every city. But what I remember is the food.@Jlaa - it's Georgian. Many Georgian restaurants in Kiev. When were you there and for how long?
It‘s iiaozi, or at least that‘s what I was told by the mother of the Chinese girl I was dating back in college, they came from the Hunan province. But it looks like jiaozi is more commonly used.This is hilarious. “Liaozi” you say? How do you say this (phoenetically?).

What, your Ukrainian hosts did not organize a trip Pripyat for the visiting American overlords?
When I was at university, a graduation requirement for my major was to either take a foreign language, or three class-quarters (we were on the quarter system, not the semester system) of a 400-level non-European country's history. Well, since I'd taken German class for all three years of high school, I was a bit pre-disposed to pursue that. But I also learned that foreign languges at the college level are MUCH more difficult than they are at the high school level, so I decided to pursue the non-European history option instead. But ... a 400-level history class is not going to be that easy, either.
I opted to take Russian history, and I'm glad I did. The professor was quite good, and insipired me in the class. The course material covered the very beginnings of indigenous peoples in the territory covered by the former USSR (thousands of years ago), and continued through the 1917 Russian Revolution. Nothing really after 1917-1918. Heavy emphasis on the period of around A.D. 1000 to around 1800. A lot of what I learned was fascinating in how the current (and USSR-era) Russian mentality and national character was shaped not by Lenin/Stalin/Khruschev/Brezhnev/etc., as most Americans tend to think, but actually developed many many hundreds of years ago.
Some 30+ years after I graduated with my degree, I am happy to say that the books we used in those three Russian history classes (textbooks and supplemental reading) are among the very very very few couse-books that are still on my book-shelves.

"Russia" and its mentality/culture formed out of Golden Horde (tataro-mongol empire), incorporating large territories of ex-tataro-mongol empire AND some territories of ex-Kievan Rus, which was the largest and greatest state in Europe around X-XI centuries. "Ukraine", on the other hand, formed out of remnants of Kievan Rus, and is culturally and mentally uncontaminated by tataro-mongols. This is why, despite both Russia and Ukraine having relations to Kievan Rus, there is a significant difference between the two. If one imagines that today's United Kingdom fractures and some wholesomely NEW entity arises on the British Isles and now one imagines that the civil war does take place in USA and some wholesomely NEW entity arises in the territory of ex-USA, THEN the relationship between this NEW entity on ex USA territory and the NEW entity on the British Isles territory would be similar to what today's Russia is to Ukraine. Similar and common roots in many respects, but a completely different species
Are you talking about Millenials and Gen Z and "woke" and "cancel" culture?

I wished English was offered here as a second language in school earlier on. While in elementary and junior high school, I was learning English on my own, and by the time I got to high school, the English teacher felt that my english was better than the few other Russian and Ukrainian kids in the same school and kept me out of the class. My earliest exposure to English courses (along with my parents) was pretty much like this, minus the syntax and the musical number.
Meh, it's just xfadmin. He's pretty powerless around here despite the bluster. He's banned @The Emperor like seven times, yet that dude keeps posting & threatening to Force-choke people. Completely ineffectual, but he's pretty good at updating the computers that run the forum.
I mean people with a mentality/culture such as yours, and people with a mentality/culture that makes a burial of a low life scum and thug in a golden casket on national tv a thing
This is a pretty eerie prediction way back from 1984 which, as far as I'm concerned, has been confirmed accurate

So Monday morning, someone got on the scale ...
Ok, that "someone" got out of control in the last 3 monthsl!!! And with the holidays coming, I need to behave for few weeks. Deferring to low carb foods... Will do good meats, veggies, shirataki noodles (if I must), soups... Today's 10min dinner:
Pan seared pork chop in ghee, smoked paprika, sage, sea salt and fresh cracked 5 pepper blend...
Pan seared shishito peppers with hint of garlic, sea salt, sesame oil, light drizzle of lime
Cherry tomatoes
Served with Gooseberry/Mango chutney
The worse part of all this, I love breads, I love sweets and I love noodles. So that's going to be tough...
Happy to see/hear any recipes that would help me with my month long struggles!

D

With covid, I'm no longer able to find any wild mushroom, no chanterelles, no beech, no oyster... Thank goodness for a small local Asian market, very nice gentleman, always has at least King mushrooms. Those are meaty, good bite, just wish had some more flavor. But it'll do.
Sticking with my carb-less meals (for now)... Today:
King mushrooms and onions, sauteed in butter
Pan seared New York strip with rosemary spring, based in butter, sea salt and fresh cracked pepper
Kalamata olives
Suffering with 2.6g carbs beer (that's a struggle)
Oh, did I mention Irish butter while resting?
This "carb free" stuff life is not so terrible so far...

The dangers of watching travels and food shows is that if it looks good, and I have the ingredients - well, I may as well make it... Spanish Torilla is what was cooked in one of the bars in Europe, considering the simplicity of the dish, breakfast this morning:

One little complication I had this year as the result of COVID and my COVID project: I developed a modest case of plantar fasciitis. To those who don't know what this is, it is pain in the heel and arch area of the foot caused by a variety of factors, biggest among them spending a long time on one's feet, wearing un-supportive shoes.
I first noticed the foot pain around August, and it didn't go away. Finally went into the podiatrist's office, which confirmed what I already knew. A steroid injection into the bottom of my foot, some supportive and removable insoles for my shoes and getting rid of non-supportive shoes has pretty much solved the issue, and being careful to keep my feet supported going forward.
My pain was probably a 3 or 4 on a scale of 1-10, so not too bad. But, I have heard of PLENTY of stories about people being in such bad pain that they could not walk, particularly after getting up from bed in the morning, and having to go down the stairs on the butt until the plantar fascia got stretched enough so that it didn't hurt so badly.
The podiatrist said he is seeing a HUGE influx of plantar fasciitis cases due to people being at home during the COVID pandemic, not going out of the house, and being barefoot, wearing flip-flops or non-supportive slippers around the house, which aggravates the plantar fascia on the bottom of the foot.
So my advice to EVERYONE, particularly you gurus who spend long hours on hard concrete surfaces working on your Benzes, is to wear as supportive of shoes as you can. Take care of your feet !!!

To bring one of the topics here full circle, I was in a director's meeting this morning (even though I'm off this week, didn't want to miss anything) and the HR director was talking about future HR policies regarding telecommuting. One of the proposed requirements was that the employee had to be within (physical) commuting distance to telecommute. Guess that's one way to keep people close by and not be out of the area.
Hmm.
I'm in Indiana this week, and other than being cold, we were really concerned about getting COVID due to traveling. We came up the day after Christmas and the airport was jammed. We also didn't realize that Southwest had ended their center seat restriction, meaning the plane was packed. Fortunately, we were able to stake out our row and didn't have to give up the middle seat, but it was still a very full flight. We're going back on Saturday, so hopefully it won't be as crowded.
The one thing that really frosts me is that as I've been out and about around here (Indiana) I've seen a few people in public places with no masks. There is a mask mandate in place. No one seems to want to challenge these people, however. ???

I've lived by the quote "A man should have the very best shoes and bed available since when he is not in one He's in the other" since I was young.

My trans Atlantic flights have been very different. In mid-November I was on a wide body Airbus to Copenhagen. I counted 10 people in the boarding area. On the plane, of my section of 70 seats, there were 3 people. I read an article explaining that these flights are actually profitable as the planes are loaded with cargo.
Between myself and my wife, we've had about 15-20 of our friends and family back in Ukraine who got and successfully recovered from COVID, including my 81 year old grandfather. On average, about a week from first symptoms to being well again. Just a few days for my 23 year old sister. Two weeks for my grandfather and some of other older relatives.
In my opinion the whole affair is suspect and completely overblown. I can offer many similar stories. My girlfriend and I supposedly have it presently. She is a nurse and so she went for a test on Thursday which was positive. We have both been mildly sick for two days. I feel normal as I write this.

You are lucky to have mild symptoms from it. For example on the road I live on 2 people have died from Covid. Many cases now locally for the past couple months. However there is still that type of people who are positive, supposed to be socializing and instead mixing with family members over Christmas and posting photos on facebook.
I know for example in a local shop there was one fellow who came to work for 3 days with symtoms (loss of smell etc) but he decided to keep that to himself so he wouldn't have to self isolate.
When he did finally admit it he was sent home, on full pay to isolate. And was spotted days later in a local supermarket just because.
Now a week later - 8 of his colleagues in his dept who worked alongside him (who also have at risk groups at home) have now tested positive and have symtoms at home isolating - some have worse symtoms too and are bed bound.
All it takes is one selfish "fake news" lout to help Covid along it's merry way.
The government appear quite lax about getting the vaccine into the population I'd like to see that happening sooner than later hopefully it picks up pace very soon.
This whole thing seems (to me at least) so politicized to the nth degree, that it's nigh impossible to separate actual hardcore science from politics/ideology for an anyone who's not a top grade expert. As I result there's a natural scepticism towards the "approved view" that I share with @sheward and, I admit, this scepticism might very well be throwing the baby out with a bath water. Same thing with climate change. That we live in "1984" with "mostly peaceful protests" in a "SYSTEMICALLY racist/oppressive/hateful country" just aids further scepticism of any official position that one is not allowed to question and criticize.
*Scepticism is not a denial
Flew back a day early today and it was busy, but not slammed like it's going to be tomorrow. IND was pretty quiet but TPA was jammed. We did our best to maintain distances and avoid any part of the airport that was crowded. I had to get nasty with a guy at the baggage claim as he was standing right up behind me waiting to get a bag. I turned around and told him to back up some (nicely) and he did. It's just not a social norm and sometimes people forget, I believe.
Say what some might, but Mrs. Dan is an immune-compromised due to cancer treatments and some other health issues, and this wouldn't be a minor illness for her. If she gets this stuff it will kill her, there's no doubt in my mind (or hers.) Given the choice I would rather have not traveled this past week.

An overreaction to an unknown fear is probably rational by definition, just because you don’t know. I agree most cases are mild. And the numbers say overwhelmingly most people don’t get it. But I’ve also known of health young friends being bed ridden for two weeks while their spouses (who obviously didn’t socially distance) didn’t get anything. My wife had a mild case and I got nothing. She has been terrorized by this whole thing and me, not so much. This too shall pass. God knows I can stand to stay out of restaurants and bars for a few months. No biggie. People have different immune systems, and that’s part of the randomized unknowns here. It probably depends upon a multiplicity of factors we cannot control for without standardized diet and exercise routines, for starters. Until those unknowns become known, I’m OK with overblown overreaction quite frankly. It took less than a year for vaccines, roughly the same as SARS COV 1, but somehow in this era everyone thinks they’re their own little expert on their own little blog. GMAFB already.

Since all commercial aircraft have the same HEPA filters, though this article might help with any decision making about flying.
I had a situation at my local post office two weekends ago (before Christmas) when I was there to mail @GRAEME JOHNSON's Lamin-X tube to him (since it is international, I couldn't mail it with the self-service kiosk, and had to stand in line).
The post office nearest my house is a small one, with a small L-shaped lobby area (with the self-service machine and supplies, PO boxes, etc.) and a double-glass door into the post office counter area where the clerks are. The counter area inside the glass doors holds about 3 people, socially distanced, in addition to the 2-3 clerk stations/PIN pads at the counter.
It was a Saturday morning, before Christmas, and the line was snaked out the double doors into the lobby, all the way to the back of the "L" in the lobby area. I'd say there were probably 30 people there -- 25 waiting in the lobby area, 4-5 inside the counter area at the front of the line and at the counters. I went to the back of the line (knowing I'd be in for a 30-minute wait), and before long an African American lady with a young son of around 7-8 years old got in line behind me.
The floor of the lobby, and inside the counter area, are WELL-marked with lines for social distancing. I was VERY careful to maintain proper distance with the 30-something lady in front of me -- I could tell from her furtive glances back at me that she was cognizant of the distance, and I completely respected that.
Unfortunately it was not the same with the lady and her son behind me. They were crowding me, literally 2-3 feet behind me the whole time I was in the lobby, working my way up toward the glass double doors. I started getting increasingly agitated, as the woman's son was BETWEEN me and her (literally six inches from me) and he physically bumped into me three different times while we were in line. When I was second or third from the glass doors, it got so bad that I literally moved laterally, six feet into the MIDDLE of the lobby away from the wall, to distance myself from this lady and her son. People coming into the post office were having to walk around me to go back into the lobby area to get in line, visit their PO boxes, etc. By this time I was SERIOUSLY pissed off.
The 30-something woman in front of me finally got up to the glass doors, and then went through them into the counter area. So that meant I was next, outside the doors waiting, yet still a few feet from the wall (and double doors) out in the middle of the lobby. Note that there were 20-25 people in line BEHIND me at this point in time.
As the woman inside moved up to the second position inside the counter area, it was my turn to go through the glass doors. Just before I opened the doors to go in, I said to the lady behind me, in a polite, but forceful voice, "Ma'am, I would appreciate it if you would maintain a proper social distance from me. You have been crowding me since you got in line all the way back there."
She got extremely incensed and said loudly, "Don't talk to me that way!". I said calmly but forcefully, "Ma'am, you have literally been 1-2 feet behind me for the past 20 minutes. Your son has bumped me three different times. The sign right here on the glass door says to maintain a six-foot distance. There are lines on the floor that you have completely ignored. We are in the middle of a pandemic, and I would appreciate it if you would follow the rules and be considerate of everyone around you."
She started to protest and deny that she had been so close to me, but also realized that she was completely in the wrong just by way of where she was standing at that moment (literally 1 foot behind the edge of the glass door).
I went inside, and a couple of people in front of me nodded in approval of what I'd said. For about the next 30 seconds, I'm waiting in line in the last position inside the glass, and what does the lady do? She opens the glass doors, comes inside the counter area with her son, and proceeds to stand 3 feet from me.
I literally just threw up my arms in absolute disgust, and said quite loudly, "Ma'am, if you cannot see fit to follow the rules that the state government has outlined for us to follow, then I will not put myself at risk and I shall leave so as not to inconvenience you any further."
And I walked out, shaking my head in absolute disgust. This woman thought that she was above the rules; she got absolutely incensed when I called her out for not following the rules; she decided to retaliate against me directly, by coming into the counter area and doing what she'd done previously (not socially distancing); and she set an absolutely poor example for her son.
THIS, is why we have such a fucked-up society here in America. Because SOME people think that the rules do not apply to them. That they can do whatever they want to.
I don't usually make the effort to call people out on things that I see. In this case, being in a pandemic and all, this woman's behavior was egregious enough that she needed to be called out. And when she was, her speech and actions basically said "I don't care what you say or think, or about the rules" and she kept on doing what she was doing. No remorse. No acknowledgement that she was actually doing the wrong thing. Nope, it was my fault for being a jerk and talking to her in a way she didn't think she deserved to be. That's just wrong.

This sucks. There is too much ANGTMWTD* coupled with entitlement / grievance in this country.

Many of us are now aware of the consequences of a lack of trust in our "authorities", news outlets, and institutions. I'm convinced this will lead us to a very bad place. I hope more folks are presently learning and logic will prevail. Regardless of what we all personally believe the simple fact is there is a virus amongst us. It's not going away, they never do. No one wants to get sick. Stay away from other folks. Practice good hygiene. I'm 64 years old. My mother is 94. The population is getting more unhealthy every year. Our government can not protect us. It has become politically incorrect to shame people for bad behavior as Gerry described or maybe we just got lazy. We all need to turn this around. Jlaa... right on the money.

Wow Gerry you should have just left my stuff no need to have others put you at risk or have to waste

I had a message from our Royal Mail a few days ago saying they had tried to make a delivery
from customs and excise but I was not in.
I assume this was the lens protectors and they wanted the import tax. I will try and sort this out tomorrow
now they are back at work
Many thanks Graeme Johnson
