USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving.

Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.

I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these."

"They just come with the table, man."

They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner.

This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat.

I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared.

"Did we…?"

"Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless."

Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined.

My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."

Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.

I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.

Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.

I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.

Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.

@LouisCoupon @golfclubenjoyer It’s not expensive on paper, but in practice it’s quite hard to find in some parts of the country since it’s very hyped up / popular. Sometimes liquor stores will charge crazy stupid price markups on it. It is good stuff though, not worth the hype but still good stuff

This is the greatest video I’ve ever seen. No notes. The lifeless clanker carcass just laying there. No crowd reaction, anything. Just Billie Jean. Until its lifeless shell is shamefully dragged off. Purely amazing.

Ngl, the NSA bricking the Iranian government’s ability to run nuclear pit implosion simulations by infecting their version of Ansys’ modeling software with the computational equivalent of erectile dysfunction is incredibly funny.

BREAKING: First sequencing of the Hantavirus from the outbreak.

-99% identical to a June 2018 case from a patient in Argentina
-10.4 SNV/year mutation rate
- The Andes genome is about 12 kb across three RNA segments. At 10⁻⁴ to 10⁻³ substitutions/site/year, that translates very roughly to 1-12 SNV per year
-Completely in line with a natural spillover in Argentina from the rodent host in 2018 and now in 2026
