I think the article isn't clear about the extent they are still used! Would be great to add that in. I first heard of these when Westerners were saying "why don't we use these instead of styrofoam?!" not considering the resource and disposal concerns that would come with mass quantities of earthenware

I tend to order the patty melt as my initial measure of the quality of a greasy spoon joint

Yes, in the Sunset and other Western beach-adjacent areas, I could see salt aerosols being more of an issue. Dog pee is as low as 6 pH, full of salts, and I would assume on this object in the Castro (literally the innermost SF penninsula) dwarfs the volume contributed by salt aerosols.

Well, it might have been judged by elderly Kentuckians who haven't seen porn since it was shot on film, if ever. So I don't find it surprising they went "Wow, super detailed couch! Give this guy a prize!"

One that kind of comes close is the Bologna Natural History Museum. It's dark (literally and in terms of the colonial history involved), but fascinating

I adore it. It is a work of art: both a satire and love letter to museums, and a modern-day cabinet of curiosities

To me, it seems like a dramatic setting for the climax of a murder mystery

If they did that, anyone could spin up an instance and start just fabricating votes and there'd be no way to know

I think part of the motive is to make brigading harder (show if users or bots are colluding to vote things up or down)

Also the scariest video game boss (for me)
