Yes, very invasive, and no natural predators. They’re a huge, huge problem. The meat is safe, and delicious, to eat, as long as you avoid the spines.

Spear gun. Lots of dive companies bring them on dives where there are lion fish. I’ve speared a couple and then eaten them as ceviche after the dive.

See, this is why I get so mad when the media portrays Mexico as some third world hellhole. Sure, it’s got problems, some of them large, but this kind of stuff is the real day to day of Mexico, Mexicans are lovely and it’s generally a nice place to live. Source: American living here for 10+ years.

Same. I never understood how anyone enjoyed it. Terrible floppy crust, terrible cheese, worse sauce.

It’s like 4 different cars, starts with a Nissan, shows a Renault steering wheel at one point.

The first time we visited Japan we stayed with a woman in Kanazawa and we asked why every single thing had a cute cartoon mascot (like dog poop, fire hazards, temples, shopping districts, everything) and she was like “what?”. Totally immune, not even aware of it. More noticeable to not have a mascot than anything else, apparently.

Same. It worked ok, not terribly consistent, but not well enough to put up with the discomfort. I’d rather something easy like the mouth guard, but the CPAP works better.

#10 solved a problem no one was having, and also a lot of beaches don’t allow glass bottles because they end up broken in the sand.

“Do not build the torment nexus”
But surely it’s okay if we do it?

Seeing stones created for benevolent use later corrupted by evil, yes. It’s always struck me as very on the nose as names go, like just saying the quiet part out loud. Never gonna trust a company that thought this was the right name.

It's so much bigger than it even seems here. In person it's incredibly impressive.

If you like the guava, see if you can find Boing brand guava (guayaba). It’s the absolute best.

Mexico is plenty rich. It's currently the 15th richest country in the world by GDP, and has been higher. Corruption is the issue, every level of government is mine-bogglingly corrupt, top to bottom.

I lived there from ‘01 until ‘12, there was a place in an east Nashville strip mall called Prince’s that had been there for a long time (it was the better of two places to get it), just a lady with four cast iron frying pans. Her chicken was crazy good, and quite spicy. By the time I left there was a hot chicken festival, it went from local secret to national thing really fast.

In Mexico pushups are called "lagartijas", little lizards.

I was going to say, it’s a weird example, since the horizon games are extremely good.

No, but there are, in fact, two distinct horizon games (as named above). Both excellent.

I hated Steppenwolf. Hesse really crawled up his own ass with that one.

Roasting or pan-frying is the way. They get very nutty and delicious.

It's a Sony, alpha series. Not sure which one.

I've swam with Whale Sharks, and the size is indeed intimidating. They're huge and fast. A blue whale would be terrifying, despite knowing they just don't care about your presence at all.

Yamazaki bakeries sell a version of this called "messy bread". It lives up to its name (dusted with cocoa powder) and it's fucking delicious.

Bounced around Asia for almost two years, did a little time in Europe, and have been based in Mexico for the last 10 years.

When I was a kid we picked up a stray cat. Fed him corn for God knows what reason, and he just shit everywhere, so. much. diarrhea. So that’s how, at least our cat (who lived to be 17 and only got corn the one time).
