Jime, la raffinata e violentissima tecnica giapponese per uccidere il pesce in modo da preservarne il gusto. Attenzione, anche se i disegni sembrano di cartoni animati carini (kawaii), in realtà può fare una discreta impressione, se si guarda bene cosa fanno. Accidenti a loro.
Money quote: "Ike jime is a Japanese fish preparation method that paralyses fish and drains them of blood. When done correctly, it not just preserves the fish’s flavour and texture but also allows the flesh to develop an umami dimension when aged.
“Ike Jime is a multi-series steps of controls and these steps are designed to mitigate all the effects of biochemical reactions,” says Andrew Tsui, president of the Ike Jime Federation"

Money quote "For many companies in Salinas, the man standing astride the gap between what happens in the field and the record-keeping needs of a modern farming business is a 50-year-old technology consultant named Paul Mariottini. Mariottini—who planned to become a general contractor until he got a computer at age 18 and, as he puts it, “immediately stopped sleeping”—runs a one-man operation out of his home in Hollister, with a flip phone and a suite of bespoke templates and plug-ins he writes for Microsoft Access and Excel. When I asked the growers I met how they handled this part of the business, the reply, to a person, was: “Oh, we use Paul.”"

Quelli che colorano il cibo (credevate fossero colori naturali? Pensateci di nuovo)
Money quote: "IFC Solutions in Linden, New Jersey, makes both natural and artificial food coloring in “almost any desired shade,” according to the company. This variety of colors would have been tough to imagine in the mid-19th century, when the first artificial food color (purple) was produced from coal by-products. These “Color Bits” are prized by candy manufacturers because they are easy to mix into hot masses of candy but are low in moisture, which makes for a long shelf life."

Casomai aveste dei dubbi, mentre noi festeggiamo la fine della pandemia, negli Usa hanno autorizzato il secondo booster agli over 50

A quanto pare la prossima variante di Omicron si chiama BA.2 ed è diventata rapidamente dominante negli Usa (pare che sia in piena ripartenza anche da noi).

Money quote: "The Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday authorized a fourth COVID-19 vaccine shot for people 50 and older, which could further help protect the most vulnerable from the subvariant.
"CDC says the BA.2 subvariant of Omicron is now dominant in the US," tweeted Leana Wen, a public health professor at George Washington University. "Reminder that while this appears to be even more contagious than the original Omicron, it is not more virulent than previous strains, and existing vaccines still protect well against severe disease."

La grandezza di Ursula K. Le Guin. Se non vi basta questo breve saggio per correre a comprare i suoi libri e cominciare a leggere, non so cosa altro...
Money quote: "Born in Berkeley, California, in 1929, Le Guin began publishing science fiction in the early 1960s and within ten years was acknowledged as one of the most important writers in the genre, particularly with the publication of A Wizard of Earthsea (1968), The Left Hand of Darkness (1969), and The Dispossessed (1974). Curry makes it look like Le Guin rescued science fiction and fantasy more or less single-handedly from a state of literary neglect, which isn’t exactly true. (There were other writers who saw the genre’s potential for yielding enduring literature.) But Le Guin chose this “despised, marginal” genre, she once said, for a reason she couldn’t acknowledge to herself at the time: Because it was “excluded from critical, academic, canonical supervision, leaving the artist free.”"

Beh, ecco qua a voi l'aereo a freccia, il Boomerang. È un concept che probabilmente non andrà mai da nessuna parte perché come potete vedere nel video ha un discreto difetto.

Money quote: "While experimenting with different pressures, the researchers discovered a completely new type of ice, as a transitional stage between two known forms. At around 5.1 GigaPascals of pressure, the cubic structure known as ice VII transformed into a never-before-seen phase consisting of symmetrical tetragonal crystals. This new phase was named ice VIIt. After that, it then settled into another known phase called ice X."

Le parole sono importanti. Contano. Servono a descrivere le cose, anche i sentimenti. Per questo quando si parla di riconciliazione e perdono bisogna capire che sono due cose diverse e che si tratta di comprendere meglio cosa vogliamo e cosa cerchiamo. Ci sono persone che non ammetteranno mai di aver fatto qualcosa di sbagliato, ma questo non vuol dire che non sia possibile perdonarle e andare avanti lo stesso.
Money quote: "Both Enright and Davis say that forgiveness exists separately from reconciliation, and also from accountability — which is why forgiving someone doesn’t require an apology or even their participation. “Reconciliation is a negotiation strategy between two or more people trying to make their way back together to mutual trust,” explains Enright, whereas forgiveness is a one-way endeavor. Put another way: Forgiveness might be a step on the path to reconciliation, but you don’t have to traverse the full route if you’d prefer not to."
