This is interesting. Any fine tuning on existing commentary?

Unfortunately this means the government is going bankrupt keeping power generation online for non-solar/evening only users.

I did something similar for Californian oils :) https://www.californiaoliveoil.info/

Are you instead claiming complete incompetence on part of the Pakistani army? Of course we knew he was there. My fellow Pakistanis really need to realize that we are a pariah state…

In the US, the best example is in California. To get the California Olive Oil Council stamp of extra virgin quality, you must have your oil tasted by the government body. I'm one o…

I've put together a directory of olive oil producers from California:) https://www.californiaoliveoil.info/

They usually do teach you to read Arabic, which is mostly the same script as Urdu. But you don't understand what you're reading which doesn't really make it any better.

This sounds like something I could see myself using over dull Google forms - can I iframe it too? Very pretty design btw

I built a webapp that does this for all tech events in the Bay area :) https://fogcity.events/

This could transform the country!

Bite me

Why the fuck was this built on Bahawalpur? I'm so frustrated at Pakistan's inability to not fuck things up :( years it's been. Years of frustration. Disappointments. Disillusionmen…

I personally don't think partition was a good idea but give me a fucking break with this Hindu-nationalist view that Muslims were the "original colonizers" of India. Most Islamic e…

Seconded! Pakistani living in the States. Have been pulled over by cops many times at night because they're bored and/or want a bribe. Bribed a guy to get my passport made. Corrupt…

I think his point was that olive oil when done right is a result of crushing fruit. The bastardization of that product is a travesty but it is still possible to get the real stuff.…

As a Pakistani and American, I am upset, astonished, excited, conflicted. The Pakistani team was already looking pretty bad coming into this World Cup. Sigh

"It's banned in all these places so it must be bad" is a terrible argument. It was also illegal to be gay or get an abortion in most places until recently. All societies up until m…

There is an excellent behind the bastards podcast on this: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5kSz7fsdOV9fzFFC93tdS7?si=U...

This is the most ridiculous take I've seen all year. South Asia is an established geographical-cultural term that includes the two largest countries in Southern Asia - India and Pa…

Incredible read. I'm a trained olive oil panelist and the olive oil community has always made very strong claims on the evil of seed oils and he benefits of olive oil. The question…

The division of the subcontinent was one the greatest calamities of our collective humanity. I don't think I'll ever be able to not look at the Empire in disdain, even if it's a cr…

Olive oil somm here (yeah that's a thing!) Olive oil (and all cooking oils in general) are the opposite of wine - once bottled they start degrading and any additional exposure to a…

See comment above. Your local olive oil store (if there is one) should have great options. If you're on the east coast, one of those local high-end "Italian" stores may have a know…
