IF you have a piece of fine gauge wire OR fine tipped tweezers, you can try again, BUT I can't assess your mechanical skills so I say leave it for now because I have no idea what's the state of the reader pins in that slot now.
Oh they're on TikTok? Oh, they're never going to be here then 🤣🤣 I remain optimistic though (in a very general way, the way I hope for all people), even if weaning yourself from dopamine hits won't be easy, RIP to their social media intern
(also bold of you to assume MUDA is actually plugged in to whatever's going on in the world. They already have trouble getting their own country.) 🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️
I'd settle for BFM to stop doing nothing but twitter threads!
India is a huge country with very unique cuisines, if I had to guess locals probably wouldn’t refer to their unique dishes as curry and will just call it by their name.
Yeah, so when I read their complaints about it, even the British Indians, i keep that in mind, because there's another conversation that's actually happening that I'm really just an observer (it's essentially an economic and cultural preservation argument). But outside that, language IS flexible - however much I still sideeye it, Malay CKT is berkuah and Sino-Malay use of jelak instead of muak fits their respective contexts. In America an entree is the main dish but to the French that is so silly because it obviously means a starter course.
I suppose the inciting incident here (calling kurma a curry) depends very much on what you reckon would be the likely result: perpetuated by a global cultural majority (gwailo anglophones) who simply say it's curry, it might lead to other ppl also making the same mistake, frustrating the ppl who originated the cuisine as well as ppl who'd like their Google search to not be corrupted further. If you want to take the power differential reading. That's the only angle to me that answers why you'd feel off about it. If it's just some rando saying a thing that'll not be popularized by other ignorant ppl, and it's just going to stay a silly English thing, then let it beeee
Depends on how hard you want to fight it. Back in India they'll argue to begin with it refers to a specific type of dish. But in a non-indian English esp in gwailoland, anything vaguely thick stew and south asian is seen as "curry". So if you rajin you can pick a fight along the lines of cultural appropriation kot - simply2 say, dasar org putih etc etc
I mean even kari is not quite curry. Japanese curry uses applesauce. That said, not having curry powder/leaves and calling it curry still is quite tone-deaf
Lol the Malaysians with more west asian and south asian heritage reading this: phewwwwww
(ETA: My melayu ppl paling kesian tho because our genetic makeup is so all over the place it truly can be a lottery eg I'm ok, sibling not ok. Another friend ok... Until they turned 18)
I got link to their website in my post! Pen Gallery is also on Shopee, and if you rajin their shop is at SS2. There are three more Malaysia inks they did with Diamine Inks, I haven't bought the newest one (Ungu Senja) but the others I did cos I can't resist a good gimmick. Jalur Gemilang is like Manggis, but it's deep blue with red-purple sheen. Kopi O Kaw is a nice brown that legit smells like coffee.
If u want to restock new calligraphy stuff also can I think.... meracun mode
Kaaaaan it's so beautifulllll. The Jalur Gemilang One is also nice if you like deep blue!
Well, around the same time, fanfiction.net got IP banned. Considering Indonesia banned Tumblr it's likely the assumption of erotica content
I can't believe my favourite fountain pen shop (in SS2) is more on the ball than our journos and news portal. They now have a fedi account: @pengallery@penfount.social
Hahahahahhaha imagine being in a job that's supposed to be on the pulse of society and you're slower than a shop selling a pretty old-fashioned tool.

And just from the perspective of astronomy and astronomers (and scanning stuff for other things), the impact of all those starlink satellites is a net negative to me. Then of course I have to think about it choking the skies, driving out public utility stuff like weather satellites, so in the end have to depend on them....
