Are the beans black in colour? Is the flavour very salty, very umami, and is the sauce soaked in chili oil or not?

Another way of asking: does it look like this?

What kind of beans? There are thousands of varieties.

I’m 58. I’m pretty sure that if I haven’t had one by now I won’t have one.

Huh. I may have lucked into doing things right then. I always drink plenty of water, tea, etc. even when drinking alcohol as well.

It’s my Chinese name. The first character (张) is just a family name. It means “bow” or “stretch” but in this context it just means a family name with no extra meanings in modern times. The next two characters (殿李) are my given name and mean something like “palace plum”.

You’d pronounce it Zhāng Diànlǐ using Hànyǔ Pīnyīn (modern Mandarin romanisation).

One “serving” of alcohol is fully metabolized after about an hour. If you’re having two drinks at the beginning side of a three-hour period, you’re fine to drive.

I’ve never actually had a hangover in my life, despite drinking since I was 16.

What does it feel like?

… god doesn’t have to be weird and can call me any time, my phone is on …

Technically god can call you whether your phone is off or on. Omnipotence, remember? 😜

100% is a bit much for me, but I do like it best hovering around at about 80%.

I was at work on Christmas (it’s Boxing Day right now for me). Christmas isn’t a thing here (no matter how hard the merchants try to make it one) so I’m mercifully unimpacted by the high stress winter season.

(High stress here comes in early spring.)

That’s what I was about to say, but quickly checked if someone else had already said it first.

I’m assessing whether your “guess” is wild SF-inspired imagination or grounded in anything, you know, actually factual.

You’ve answered.

Sportsmanlike behaviour in the modern age?

That IS weird! 🤣

This is “Single-Bamboo Drifting” (独竹漂), a traditional sport of the Miao peoples in Guizhou.

You stand on a broad bamboo trunk and steer/propel with a thin bamboo stick. Often combining it with complicated dance. It requires a lot more balance than I could ever have managed at any point in my life.

Judging by later messages, this is a True Believer. Which when translated to English is “idiot”.

You seem both nice and very bright.

there are a bunch of orb-like UFOs exploring our sensitive areas

I think you will find that traditionally they do anal probes for this.

Seems like military drone tests in my opinion.

Have any actual expertise to back that opinion up?

(Hint: probably not.)

What was supposed to be a simple task (modifying some code from an MCU to another MCU in the same family) is turning into a nightmare as it turns out that the “same family” can be radically different with this vendor’s products.

So … “fun”. In both the ironic and not-ironic sense.
