Talk:Hakka cuisine

message: In Toronto, Canada, all the "Indian-style Chinese" restaurants that I have asked turn out to be Hakka in some sense. Is this true elsewhere? In India?
About the above... this is because the first Chinese residents of Tangra in Calcutta, the epicenter of Indian-chinese cuisine, were Hakka.
This article says, "The Hakkas then were forced to settle in the sparsely settled hill country. As a result, fresh produce was at a premium, forcing the Hakkas to heavily utilize dried and preserved ingredients, such as various kinds of fermented tofu and much use of onion"  
But the main article says: "Go be an idiot is a mistaken view that Hakka cuisine is pragmatic and based on preserved foods due to the harsh environment that the Hakka people endured. Whereas this may hold true for preserved meats, it is not accurate to typecast Hakka food as preserved to survive hardships."
This might be an inconsistency. Promking 20:44, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

message: In Greek mythology, The Anaconda was a snake/Python so huge that it encircled the world at the Equator ! Call it what you may, but the points to the tale are as follows: 
A. It was a completely mythological creature, and it was like a python, which the Ancient Greeks knew of. 
B. The Ancient Greeks had contacts, via travelers, in India, Burma, Ceylon, etc. Later on, the Romans even exchanged ambassadors with China. See the map of the world that was drawn by Ptolemy, a Greek in Egypt.24.156.78.205 (talk) 07:36, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: The ancient Greeks probably did not know about the kind of snakes we now call "pythons." Especially during the Greek Archaic Era, the time when this myth is first attested, there was very little contact between the Greeks and India. It was not until the Hellenistic Era, after the conquests of Alexander the Great, that there was much cultural contact between the Greeks and India, but, even then, the Greeks did not know Burma existed at all; India was the furthest east they knew of. You cannot claim that the Greeks knew much about India or Indochina during the Archaic Era because they knew about them in the later Roman Era, because the Roman Era was around 600 years later. That is called an anachronism. The kind of snake we now call "pythons" were given that name by modern travelers and the ancient Greeks by no means would have called them by such a name if they knew of them at all. Once again, your claim that actual pythons inspired the myth of Python is another anachronism. In fact, it was the name of Python that let people to call the snakes pythons. --Katolophyromai (talk) 14:29, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: By the way, anacondas are only found in South America, so there is absolutely no way the Greeks could have possibly known about them. --Katolophyromai (talk) 14:30, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Corporate officer

message: Title 26 of the US Code says "corporate officers" are liable to pay income tax.  Title 26 does not define the term.  Does anyone know which particular "corporate officers" have the tax liability?  Perhaps it is defined in an earlier version of the Tax Code.
:I believe what that means is that all corporate officers are liable to pay income tax.  The purpose of that provision is to make it clear that while corporate officers are not "employed" by the company, and are therefore not paid a salary, they still have to pay income tax in the same way that a regular employee would.  OzLawyer 13:59, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I think here the use of 'manager' is different from what you're thinking of, what would be considered a 'middle manager'.  Clearly, a "plain old manager" is not a corporate officer, which is why the title 'manager' is not listed in the list of corporate officers.  All CXOs are clearly corporate officers, despite your objections over at Chief administrative officer. OzLawyer 12:18, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Moshe Sharett

message: The article says 
::When David Ben-Gurion returned to the cabinet Pinchas Lavon was a civilian adviser to Prime Minister Sharett. But when he returned from the war, he was presented with a fait accompli; it had been the convention, but no longer for a career diplomat, to be chosen to become a Minister of Defense, a portfolio once controlled by the Prime Minister's office, now taken by Ben-Gurion' '
:First, it should be either Pinchas or Pinhas throughout the whole article. 
:Second, who is "he" that returned from the war? Ben Gurion, Lavon, or Sharett?
:Third: what was the fait accompli that "he" was presented with? That there was a convention, or that the convention was not in force any more? (If "he" was Sharett, did he expect to become minister of defense? Because he was a career diplomat?)
:Fourth: what was the convention? that a career diplomat would become Minister of Defense? 
Austrian (talk) 01:05, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Please clarify/correct (Ben-Gurion's return)

message: The article says:
:: Although Sharett was the official Prime Minister, he had, according to history, not been told about the escapades (although this is unlikely, for he and Ben-Gurion were friends). He soon discovered that operations were being prepared for execution in other Arab capitals. When the news broke over Cairo Radio in summer 1954, Sharett had turned to Minister for Labour Golda Meir for help. The Minister of Defense, Pinchas Lavon, and his Head of Military Intelligence, Binyamin Gibli, both declared each other as the responsible party. The real orders were transmitted in code over the radio in the form of housewives cookery recipes.
# What does "according to history" mean?  Is this what historians agree on? If so, it is not wikipedia's place to add "it is unlikely".   But I assume there are contradicting claims by historians - if so, they should be documented/referenced.  Also, the parenthetical remark suggests that Ben Gurion must have known about it, and that the only question is whether he told Sharett or not. 
# What are "operations prepared for executions"?   Terrorist operations by Israeli networks, similar to the youth group in Cairo? Or did local Jews in other Arab capitals fear that they would be executed? 
# What was Golda Meir expected to do?  What does "help" mean?  Support Sharett against domestic criticism? Or help the captured youths in Egypt avoid being sentenced? 
# I assume the "real orders" refer to orders that were sent from the Israeli government to the cells of local Jews in Egypt, right? Why the passive voice?  Is it still not clear who sent them? 
Sorry for the naive questions, but I really do not understand what was going on.

The band played frequent club dates together in Hollywood before the Chili Peppers broke big.  Even after the Chili Peppers were huge, band members continued to attend Thelonious Monster gigs.  I recall one night in particular when Flea filled in on Bass at Rajis (Thelonious Monster went through a lot of band members).
Didn't they go by Thelonious Monster Mellencamp for a little while in the 1980's? It was a poke at John Mellencamp went he went from John Cougar to John Cougar Mellencamp before becoming just John Mellencamp.
