Botanical Galaxy 🔆

This Sunday, I’ll be baptized into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I’m grateful for my LDS ward and missionaries who’ve changed my life. They’ve welcomed me and are helping me prepare for baptism. Their love and support mean everything. Thank you. 🤝

@MOMO_OUGA @pa0pon @FiredUpCoug Good to know! I want some Japanese eggs! I’d love to try them raw over rice. Is that a breakfast dish?

@BotanicalGalaxy @pa0pon @FiredUpCoug 日本は殺菌がかなりされてるから、常温保存でもしない限りは大丈夫だよ 私は日本人で22歳で、これまで数え切れないほど生卵をかけたご飯を食べてきたけど、一度もお腹を壊したことはないよ

Hello my new Japanese X friends. I know you like BBQ, but do you also like eggs? Did you know that many Americans raise chickens to have fresh eggs? These are eggs that my friend gave me, that were laid by his chickens (he has about 40!) They are the best tasting eggs ever!

@pa0pon @FiredUpCoug I agree, this is good.

@BotanicalGalaxy @FiredUpCoug 少なくとも日本人で生卵に危機感を持ってる人間は一人もいないよ

@iro_color_ka @FiredUpCoug Wait, does boiling them not cook them? And I love salt on hard-boiled eggs. ❤️

@BotanicalGalaxy @FiredUpCoug So if you want to eat raw eggs, you have to boil them to sanitize. Put it into the pot and heat it. And now you can eat boild eggs! Hmm, I can't recall what I wanted to eat...(sprinkling salt on boild eggs)

@Risky_Sxx I understand. The response is for the world. Not just for you. That is the purpose of the X app 🥰

@BotanicalGalaxy お前には聞いてない アカウント同じなんですか？ 元主に聞いて第三者から回答は不用

@KintsugiJin @grok We got work to do lol

We need to build and expand membership in Japan when @Grok thinks I’m the most visible/relevant LDS account in Japan. 😅🤯😬 Get to work missionaries!! 🫶🙏🦾🎌

@KintsugiJin @Dominos_UK 😂

I see what you did there @Dominos_UK I better see this glorious (or is it an abomination?) pizza concoction manifest in reality soon! 😂

Can Americans use Japanese characters for their X usernames (handles)?

@Risky_Sxx I know. I do eat raw eggs. But most don’t. 🤷‍♂️🤝

@BotanicalGalaxy 貴方に聞いてないです

Japanese friends on X, Do you grow your own vegetables like we do? (Not all of us do). And do you any of you play guitar? Anyway thanks for taking the time to read this. 🤝

@Risky_Sxx @FiredUpCoug Most Americans don’t eat raw eggs from the grocery store out of fear of salmonella

@FiredUpCoug それは煮る、焼くだけですか？ 生卵は？ 日本人は生卵を使った卵かけご飯が多いです！

@iro_color_ka @FiredUpCoug We are afraid to eat raw eggs (from the grocery store) because of salmonella

@FiredUpCoug Do you know Japanese eat raw eggs? Thanks to hygienic system, we can eat them. I like eating rice with raw eggs and soy source.

@pa0pon @FiredUpCoug Is there a risk of salmonella ?

@FiredUpCoug 日本人は生の卵を白米に乗せて食べるよ

@bfwebster @allie__voss Wow thank you for sharing this 🙏

Paper airplane tickets were essentially a type of fiat currency, with a separate physical ticket for each segment of your flight. The name on the ticket was not checked vs your ID. If you had an unused ticket, you could literally hand it (or sell it) to someone else, and they could use it. And physical ticket blanks (held by travel agents) were pretty much like pre-signed blank checks. A lot of plane tickets will filled out by hand by the agent instead of being printed on by a computer printer. So if you got some of those blanks, you could quite literally write your own ticket (hence the cliche). Go watch the scene in “Sleepless in Seattle” (1993) where the young girl (whose mom is a work-from-home travel agent) creates a ticket for the young boy to fly to New York on his own. I had a conversation with a high ranking exec at Delta in the 1990s about their plans to switch to electronic ticketing. He said they estimated that they were losing $150m/year due to swapping, forging, and misuse of physical tickets, but they weren’t sure, because they literally had no way to audit it. The big change there wasn’t due to 9/11; it happened earlier, in 1995-1996, in response to a airplane bombing threat made by the Unabomber. ID was immediately required to identify the person checking luggage for a given flight. Even though the threat itself was an admitted hoax, the airlines seized upon it to end the practice of ticket swaps, with support from the Federal gov’t.

As someone who never experienced airports before 9/11...was there truly NO security? Like you could just walk wherever like a train station?

@Gfilche X

when SpaceX buys Tesla what will the combined company be called??

@SamaHoole Looks like they forgot to take off the mustard 😂

McDonald's. 11am on a Thursday. Me: Can I get four cheeseburgers, extra bacon, no bun, no ketchup, no mustard, no onion, no pickle. Cashier: So just the patties, cheese, and bacon. Me: Just the patties, cheese, and bacon. Cashier: Four of them. Me: Four of them. Cashier: [types it in] That comes up as four cheeseburgers with modifications. Me: Perfect. Cashier: The bun is included in the price. Me: That's fine. Cashier: You're paying for buns you're not getting. Me: I'm aware. Cashier: [a pause] Okay. The bag arrived. Four cardboard boxes, each containing two patties, a slice of cheese, a rash of bacon, sitting in the approximate location where a bun would normally be, surrounded by nothing. It was perfect. It was exactly what I asked for.

@yatharthmaan Wait really

@CultureCrave @Collider What in the ai are they spending the money on?

Seth MacFarlane says they can come up with enough stories to have ‘Ted’ run for 20 seasons 🐻 “The only thing that hinders us is the expense. To create the bear is a lot of money" (via @Collider)

I wish I could get people to understand how important this is. This is civilization changing tech, and most people have no idea

@WilliamShatner Congrats 🎉

At 95, I'm still smokin'! 😝 I’ve learned two things: Never waste a good cigar. Never trust anyone who says you should ‘act your age.’ 😉👍🏻

@SERobinsonJr @SpaceX 💯
