here it's like $1.40AUD for 1kg of cheap rice

2017-09-17 10:27:02 UTC  

which according to elgoog is .94eur

2017-09-17 10:27:52 UTC  

nice

2017-09-17 10:28:55 UTC  

but is it round rice? Long rice is generally cheaper but not suitable for most Chinese dishes

2017-09-17 10:32:27 UTC  

I can't find round rice

2017-09-17 10:32:39 UTC  

may have to go to certain Chinese stores around me to get it

2017-09-17 10:32:51 UTC  

there's a chinese specialty market that sells exceptionally cheap rice iirc

2017-09-17 10:35:56 UTC  

nice

2017-09-17 10:36:08 UTC  

chinese markets in Zurich are extremely expensive

2017-09-17 10:36:36 UTC  

but there's one who can order whatever item you want from Taiwan, so we get Taiwan style sticky soy sauce there

2017-09-17 10:36:43 UTC  

for 7 eur / bottle :(

2017-09-17 10:36:47 UTC  

ouch

2017-09-17 10:54:21 UTC  

you can't use milchreis for normal meals. what a dumb chink

2017-09-17 10:55:07 UTC  

you perfectly can

2017-09-17 10:55:22 UTC  

tfw part of the basmati master race

2017-09-17 10:55:23 UTC  

it's the rice most similar to the rice you obtain in Taiwan

2017-09-17 10:55:41 UTC  

basmati is good for Indian food

2017-09-17 10:56:01 UTC  

each rice to its use case

2017-09-17 10:56:12 UTC  

what rice do they use at the china restaurants?

2017-09-17 10:58:17 UTC  

iirc from one of the advchina vids I think chinks in china don't add salt to rice

2017-09-17 12:20:00 UTC  

they don't but they also don't use the long rice

Wait what, how is it's genome size relevant and why the fuck is it in the first paragraph?

2017-09-17 17:25:15 UTC  

it's wikipedia. it's total shit. try to look up the most simple term and you'll find 20 pages

2017-09-17 17:25:20 UTC  

maybe because it's easy to modify genetically?

2017-09-17 17:25:45 UTC  

maybe this is because biology professors would give it as an example and then thirsty for knowledge students would look it up

2017-09-17 17:26:21 UTC  

And then edit the article cause they see it as important probably

2017-09-17 17:26:34 UTC  

Gene editing is less widespread than we think

2017-09-17 17:48:29 UTC  

Some plants are known to be "model" organisms for genetics

2017-09-17 17:49:06 UTC  

because they have simple genomes, are easy to grow, and are relatively closely related to other species

2017-09-17 17:49:31 UTC  

I know the Tobacco plant is another model species

2017-09-17 17:52:51 UTC  

It's basically the white lab rat, E.Coli etc

2017-09-17 20:04:38 UTC  

@swigs isn't Jasmine mostly used in Thailand?

2017-09-17 20:51:21 UTC  

>someone wrote a paper about it

2017-09-17 20:51:30 UTC  

I'm going to read that tomorrow

One of my foreign co-workers crossed me...do I turn him into Chinese police for all the drugs he smokes ?
