While working in Singapore I walked past a hawker market (see street food) when they were setting up only to see a van pull up and start unloading 20l drums of satay sauce to every vendor. No such thing as authentic street food in Singapore. Another time I was taken to a local village outside Penang where the food was interesting to say the least.

Malaysians, being mostly Moslem, probably don't have bacon. Neither do Jews, Buddhists, and many other religious groups.
Personally, I believe that a hot roast beef sandwich with Coleman's mustard, pickles, and lettuce on fresh rye bread is close to Ambrosia.

Genuine ambrosia can be found only in the Temple of Roast Beef, also known as Schwartz's[^]

It's a close second to the brisket--especially the burnt ends--at Big Fatty's BBQ in White River Junction, VT.

Unsatisfied with your bond length? This one weird trick...

Interesting that they had to go to all this trouble. I would've guessed that it could be modelled with reasonable accuracy.

The bond length could probably be calculated - IF the theory is correct. But what if some effect, negligible for smaller atoms, becomes important here? That is why you do experiments.
As Isaac Asimov said, the most exciting moment for a scientist is not when he/she says "Eureka!", but when he/she says "That's funny...".

Also, after his Eureka har ran down the streets naked. That's not something modern scientists (or others!) should do.

We might have ended up with Larry Flynt publishing Physics Today, rather than Hustler.

If you take the shell off a snail, does he get faster or more sluggish?

Giving some thought to inquiring of others, I'll mull-ask the obvious question: what clam does that snail have to the shell to begin with? And, even if it's (his/hers/its), if short of cash they mussel it for funds.
(A really slimy bunch of puns, no?)

A slug is a snail who couldn't keep up with the mortgage payments.

Wouldn't that be an eviction? Aren't evictions suspended at the moment?

What did the slug say to the snail?

... after 14 months and operations on both eyes I got to drive to work in my car. The road was dry and (thanks to the virus) there also were only few mobile obstacles. Just a BMW, crawling along at 180. Slowpoke.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

It had probably run out of Blinker Fluid.

Maybe I ought to get my eyes done; I'm blind in one eye and can't see out the other.

Ah the good old days of driving in Germany. I remember indicating for the police car in front of me to get out of the way because it was only doing 160... and it did.
Good news about your eyes - they are very useful organs when driving.

Just the other night my wife was looking in the mirror and she said
"I feel horrible. I look old, fat and ugly...
I need you to pay me a compliment!"
so I said "Your eyesight is perfect!"
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

Keep her anyway. Women with a firm hold on reality and even admitting it have become rare.

That is KPH and not MPH right? I'm on the West side of the pond.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

Yes, I don't have my own race car. But I would be capable of buying one and my second car would be a Huey.
