This reminded me of a character, Martin Silenus from Hyperion Cantos, who has a mansion. In that mansion all of the doors are actually portals. So when you walk into a new room you’re walking into a new room on a different world. So like your living room is on Earth but your dining room could be on the moon. Always thought that was a cool idea.

Yes, it does. Now fuck off and do Nazi shit somewhere else.
“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”

Americans do a lot of foolish things, but refrigerating their eggs is not one of them.
There is a good reason: eggs are washed before they’re sold in the US, which removes the egg’s cuticle (a natural protective coating). This process reduces the risk of bacterial contamination, and, when combined with refrigeration, extends the shelf life of the egg. That matters in a country with a distributed population as geographically vast as the U.S., where food often travels longer distances before reaching the consumer. Refrigerating eggs is a solution to a logistical challenge not present in Europe.
I like to point this out because a European unaware of this difference might visit America, refuse to refrigerate their eggs (believing their own cultural practices to be superior and more “natural”) and end up with salmonella. It’s ironic because getting sick in another country due to ignorance of local customs, while assuming your own culture is better, is a very American thing to do. I guess the apple didn’t fall far from the tree.
Nice, adding that book to the list.
