FAO Coligny

[Coligny]

Sorry, i used the wrong how to...

I don't think the post office will allow to deliver these no matter jow much stamps you lick to th icing...

For future reference, the proper how to:

[Coligny]

Maybe we can take this opportunity to suggest few thread sorting.

First grouping the FAO in their own folder.

Making tinkering a folder including the current thread and at least the daily whip thread.

The 'general' folder makes me think of my socks drawers... You can find anything... Even socks if you spend enough time...

Good ideas, the minions will be whipped into frenzies soon-ish.

Was thinking of that, too one of these days. Some kind of "hobbies" sub as a sanctuary for tinkerers, pet lovers, model railroaders, whiskey connoisseurs etc.

Yes, a Hobbies sub would be very good, with a DIY subsub, etc.

My thing is finding videos on how to do things when there is a lack of Japanese goods for the stuff you would do back home. That's kinda my hobby now.

Every trip back home, I end up bringing back everything from salad dressing to brake pads...believe me, I feel your pain

[Coligny]

Yes, same here, obviously...

So a "local equivalent" thread might be nice to list all the acquired knowledge on this field...

I guess the thing I miss the most (and this is just stupid I know) But a decent fvcking cheese cake.

Another thing that get's me ... Has anyone here even seen copper pipes?

[Yokohammer]

Depends on size, but the local home centers around here usually have some.

I assume that's for plumbing, as opposed to smoking ...

[J.A.F.O]

Yep, for plumbing. Never found them here. Maybe in the more *cough* civilized *cough* mainland

I've never tried that. I've only ever eaten them.

Well I've got new plans this evening!

you can make a damn good cheese cake... you can't even buy the ingredients for decent Mexican food over here.

But ya... cheese cake factory bomb as fuck if you haven't had some home made in a long time. I get me some good ol' pies of all kind made by some country folk. Can't beat that!

Well it's pretty creamy, yellowish in color, I like mine fresh and warm. But meh to each his own

Found a place that makes and sells a good tortilla. Refried beans on the otherhand are freaking expensive. 500Y ish a can

[Yokohammer]

And by now Coligny is wondering what the fuck has happened to his FAO thread ...

Must admit that it's an unlikely place for level headed constructive discussion...

a can? I am talking about buying bags by the pound. like, homemade stuffs.

I want to make my own tortillas too, but to get the right stuff for flower is also expensive as all hell.

I seem to remember being able to make decent tortillas by using some secret mixture* of medium flour (中力粉) and corn flour. Maybe they weren't "right," but they were damn good.

* It's only "secret" because I can't remember the proportions ... sorry 'bout that (although I do have it written down somewhere).

Costco seems to have some seasonal cheesecakes which are actually pretty good. They're not oversweetened as back in the states yet not bland like what you often encounter here.

I hope you mean corn meal: cornflour can have a very different meaning. (Is Yoko swapping his birthright for a mess of maize potage?)
Speaking of maize meal, IPU can probably find something workable at a Brazilian shop, and can get his beans there at the same time.
Brazilian Portuguese for maize meal: Fubá
Finding a Brazilian supermarket: the really good ones stock the fresh cheese I referred to the other day, and the cheesemaker's website helps you find stockists by location: http://vilmilk.jp/cart/stores.php Enter your postcode and how far you are prepared to travel.

The somewhat grainy stuff, whichever that is.

[Coligny]

flour is flour, maize is starch I think

It is an American use English and British use English issue.

Cornflour is the ambiguous term. What the US calls cornflour, the UK calls maize flour, and what the UK calls cornflour the US calls corn starch. It is probably best to avoid the term here where it is unclear which you are referring to, and to take care when buying it in shops with English language labels.

I get alot of where cstaylor is coming from. I stopped posting for a long time because I found the forum had become a discussion of the frenchman's hobbies and interests, and content that often had little to do with Japan and was thus of no interest to me.

I get it too and I also took a pretty long break mainly because of Coligny but also some other less egregious posters (does every other thread have to degenerate into a "lemur" discussion). I've never called for Coligny to be banned because it's not my forum and I don't have to visit FG if I don't like it anymore. Also, I don't know whether or not he's ever been privately warned to tone it down. If not, there's no reason to ban him. However, I do think he's gotten away with things other poster wouldn't have because some people on here know him in real life. McTojo is a douche but he never spammed this forum and his creepy posts were generally topical.

I probably wouldn't have posted a screen cap of a private message among moderators. However, if the moderators' general consensus is that Coligny is hurting the forum and if yanpa really does feel like we're better off without him but in the end nothing has changed, I get why cstaylor felt frustrated enough to do it.

I don't remember trying to sell that many p3n1s 3nl4rg3m3nt p1llz...

[Yokohammer]

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, so I'm not trying to change any minds here, but for the record here's mine:

To me this comes down to crazy or dishonest. I can deal with crazy, but I fucking hate dishonesty. The member who's name is the title of this thread is just crazy, whereas the other activity-restricted member mentioned above is a liar (and a pervert). To me that's night and day.

Simple 'nuff. Feel free to disagree.

I get so many spam emails for both weight loss and penis enlargement pills that I have to wonder how spammers are so effective at targeting their marketing campaigns.

Both are better than what the Japanese call it..."foreign sorghum." トウモロコシ
