    First jab done

    It's always been my favorite mall in town. People say bad things about the floor finishing and the dark ceilings downstairs, but to me it kind of feels like an old black box theatre. Just, spacious and not too shiny. Disliking crowds as much as I do (and this mall is very popular), that...

    Lots of wrongdoings get a pass because it's "nggak enak"

    I still don't really understand about "face", even having lived here these many years. But, I think that is what a lot of it comes down to. People don't like confrontation, especially ones where they will feel a sense of embarrassment. Obviously, no one likes that, in any culture, but I think...

    Cool. That might be an option soon, then. Pretty easy to check PVJ's social media accounts once a day.

    DON'T PANIC.... well, maybe a little bit.

    I'd agree with that. It does seem like 99% of science/medicine stuff you hear about on the news has a tiny, little scope of effect. Not at all useless, just useful for a very specific set of people. Meanwhile you have people like Kati Kariko (largely responsible for the development of mRNA...

    First jab done

    Does anyone know of a centralized place (online) to find listings for where/when to get a vaccine outside Jakarta? I'm hoping for something that will work in Bandung, actually. BA has suggested that I go to my local Puskesmas, which is reasonable, but it isn't convenient in my particular case...

    Generally speaking shepherd is a bit too lean on its own. Swineherd might do, in a pinch, if you are sty-mied on the beef.

    If everyone keeps posting shepherd's pie picks I'm going to have to go out and get some ground beef. Looks so good.

    All of the positives you mention are science and medicine based. Most of the negatives are not, unless you are putting the abuse of psychology and behavioural economics into the science category.

    This looks more like something I would cook. Fries and eggs are great together. Add a little vinegar based hot sauce and it is perfect. Although, being the American patriot that I am, I would call them French fries.

    Vaccine effectiveness and Herd Immunity

    The village I frequent, which is on the main road between Bandung and Subang, has yet to see any vaccines, my unofficial sources say. There are plenty of people in the area who do live off of the main roads, accessible only via motorbike, but motorbikes do exist. Also, Indonesia has the RT/RW...

    Yeah, those are delicious of they are the ones I am remembering. It's been so long since I went on a shopping mall!

    Kitas to kitap survey and work permit

    My last interview was a while back. They did take photos, but only of the kamar tamu and of various documents. My Indonesian wife (at the time) didn't give them leave to wander around the house. (She is the sort to get away with treating government employees like personal employees.) They said...

    I liked KFC in China, mostly for their delicious egg tarts. Egg tarts, yay!

    I'm more of a chicken sandwich man that a fried chicken man, if I'm going to order out. KFC's chicken sandwiches are aggressively bad, almost like they are trying to ruin the idea of the chicken sandwich in the minds of their customers. McDonald's chicken sandwiches are better, at least I don't...

    A Milestone In My Life

    Great, man! I'm a complete novice here, looking for any knowledge/inspiration either of you have to offer. My first brew was as you described: Fermipan (actually bolstered by some wine yeast from BA, 1-1), cane sugar, raisins, and pineapples (boiled and blended). Watching YouTube videos from...

    A Milestone In My Life

    What's this then, sir? Care to share a recipe?

    Homemade pineapple wine. I'm not a wine guy, as I may have mentioned on the forum. First batch has a nice "mouth feel" (I think that is what they call it), thick but not syrupy. Clarity is... yeah, not clear, but I didn't use any clarifying agents. It may clarify with time, there still being...

    That is a bit of a head scratcher. I have lots of guesses, but if I post them I might have to respond to myself asking for sources. Can't be asked. Interesting, though.

    The article does not in any way imply that "the vaccine is affecting possible mutations." The article says that Delta is increasing the possibility of new mutations, by infecting even the vaccinated. This is not an effect from from the vaccine, it is an effect from Delta, in spite of the...
