Actually, it's mostly the Anglo and Scandinavian cuisine that are relatively bland. The cuisine on mainland Europe is much more flavourful compared to the cuisine of the "Five Eyes".

The Anglos in particular ended up liking and stealing the tastier recipes around the world. The Americans steal plenty of French, Italian, German, and Latin American recipes. The British steal Indian and Chinese recipes. The Canadians and Anzacs just follow the Americans and the Brits.
They still can’t cook it right even then

Just as health note-the huge amount of salt/sugar in typical N.A culinary taste is horrible-high blood pressure,diabetes,cancer among other lifestyle diseases

I heard the taco is the Aztec attempt to make an Arab/Moor dish which the Spanish Conquistadors wanted (after recently conquering the Moors in Spain). Aztec didn't have the ingredients so this was the closest they could get.

Nordic peoples tend to have garlic and scallion allergies which precludes them from a lot of nice Chinese dishes; their cuisine tends to go for more tart, sour tastes like pickled herring and lindenberries. Ultimately there will be differences in genetics and gut biomes as well.


an excellent opportunity to test the efficacy of Chinese supplied drones against naval warships.

If you step back to look at the big picture, it's the US that created the era-defining technological innovations post-WWII and reaped most of the benefits of such innovations. Japan has a record of lacking such innovations. What Japan had was process innovations and perfectionism on mature product categories that moved slowly, such as the ICE auto industry. Most people think the Plaza Accord accelerated, rather than caused, Japan's decline.

China's proven strength is now called "fast follower." The US is worried that China can catch up so quickly that the US can no longer profit from its own innovations. Articles like this are not meant to spell out the solutions, and certainly not every sentence is accurate. But the idea of thinking about national characteristics and strength is very useful. To be clear, each of the three countries has done scaling, process innovation, and technological innovation. But the general strength of each country so far is pretty clear.

My view of China's SOEs is that they are mostly process innovators. I can't imagine the next big thing will come out of SOE. But my defense for China's SOEs is that their role is building the tech and economic foundation for China. I believe it gives Chinese innovators an edge over US innovators.

I have faith that more era-defining innovations will come out of China in the next 10 years, and my money is entirely on Chinese companies. That said, my bets are mostly on Chinese culture because I think it's even more underestimated than Chinese tech.

J-36/J-XDS, LY-1, half a dozen of most advanced hypersonic missiles, Type-100 tank, half a dozen bleeding edge CCAs, unmanned USVs, etc., all came from SOE.

I actually fucking give up on reality because trump is using ai slop to spread bullshit medbed technology. He is delusional as the supposed king of the Tibet aka Lhagyari Trichen Namgyal Wangchuk who was crowned king by Dalai Lama but for obvious reasons no one cares as he is the king of nothing.

Jesus Christ. I had a patient a few months ago who came in with new diagnosis heart failure. I told him it's due to his meth use, but he doesn't believe it and said I can cure him with quantum med beds. I was like say what? Then he went on and on about how it's some secret military tech that can cure everything, even regenerating limbs, and how Trump approved its use for everyone and that I just need to make a call. Mixed in with his fantastical tales were also some stories about persecution by the government and chem trails.

I was wondering where the hell is he getting all this crap? Well, it was Facebook, but how did this crap even start? Well, looks like he's gonna feel pretty validated now.
