The very many questions-not-worth-their-own-thread question thread XXVIII

[jackelgull]

I just finished Legend of Korra season one and I don't know which thread I should go to rant about how awful it is. Please direct me to the appropriate area. Should I go to the arts forum?

(People really like this show? Seriously? Urrggh...)

Wouldn't that fall under the rants thread?

Why do sneezes get louder as you age?

 

[Borachio]

If you've ever noticed, earlobes continue to grow as you get older. (Some very old people's earlobes are actually dragging on the ground.)

What's this got to do with sneezing? Well, your sinuses inside your head also continue growing, providing a bigger sound board for your sneezes. And that's why they get louder. OK?

 

[Snerk]

Seems legit.

Korra season summary:

Season 1: High potential ruined by enormously disappointing back half
Season 2: Mostly garbage; Beginnings is a top 5 episode of either series
Season 3: Best or second best single season of either series
Season 4: Mostly really good

Who was that guy who had that really funny post about his trip to Egypt or wherever? I think it involved getting robbed and was racist. It was before I joined the site, but people have mentioned it before, so it seems kind of infamous.

does the Dalai lama live simply?

 

[Arakhor]

I think that the Tibetan Government in Exile lives mostly in India.

(As for living simply, your actual question, I haven't heard of any Tibetan pleasure domes or suchlike.)

does the Dalai lama live simply?

Plainly not, imo. (Though your definition of "plainly" may differ from mine.)

The above looks far from a simple lifestyle to me.

The previous ones had palaces and sex slaves. He's certainly living simply by comparison.

Why is European yogurt significantly better to American stuff? I've had some pretty high quality and tasty American yogurts, but they always pale in comparison to what I get in Europe when I travel.

It's a question of culture, I guess.

 

[The_J]

Probably more a question of sugar, I'd guess.

(more serious: Yeah, a question of the yoghurt culture, that might be part of it; all the manufacturers have their own bacterial cultures, which they use for the fermentation process, and they should all give different flavour variants for the products)

Indeed!

heheh

So why not import a better culture? I get one yogurt that's from Colorado with an Australian culture and that's alright, but still not spectacular.

I thank you! *takes a bow*

I was quite pleased with it myself, too.
