Good news for wasabi lovers. The bad news: it's only valid for real wasabi, not the tube type you get with your sushi, which usually contains little to no real wasabi (it's mainly dyed horseradish).

Friends, if you haven't yet done so, it's time to install Firefox, the only browser these days that's not based on Google's Chromium. And the one browser that doesn't track the hell out of you (on the contrary, it helps you  avoid being tracked as much as possible). #

A fun read about finding Tom Cruise, which reminded me of a French book by a guy called Guillaume de la Croix about how Tom Cruise stole his life. Incidentally, I tried finding out more about him just now, and funnily enough, found more or less nothing. #
