Nope, you can't disable it at all, this is the only workaround that currently gets rid of their crap.

In your browser settings under search configure a new custom search with the following string:

https://www.google.com/search?q=%25s&udm=14

That attaches the string udm=14 to every search in the browser toolbar, which omits all AI features.

The downside is that if you're searching for translation or currency conversion it won't show you those as google features on top of the search results either, but only as separate links.

Ah ok, got it. Never heard the acronym before.

Liebesraum would be a conception room, not quite sure that's what you meant ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Who would have guessed.

Henan food is actually quite mild, Hunan is the chilli province. Here it's mostly stews or an assortment of dough stuffed with veggies and meat in an shapes and forms, from dumplings over pancakes to steamed buns. Allegedly the original baozi came from here, but I'm sure if you research it you'll find a million origin stories for every province.

Right and I guess if you cite religious reasons, they leave you mostly alone. Alcohol wasn't as straightforward since I have no reasons aside from health benefits, and then it's the usual "but once a year won't kill you" spiel (that I have to go through on every single occasion, even if they drop it ultimately and are happy to have a dedicated driver when the night moves on...).

How many times a year do you generally visit the hometown?

Probably more like people complaining about Windows, and others recommending a switch to Ubuntu or something.

Good riddance, we tried to get them out of Germany for decades. American soldiers off base are the worst. Drunk driving their oversized trucks, starting fights in village pubs, and generally being aggressive and obnoxious. And whenever something actually happens, they are picked up by on-base military police, get a slap on the wrist, and keep at it. Due to some bs agreement they are untouchable by German police, and only really end up in court if someone died.

Oh yeah I know both of those dishes, they are excellent as well! Pickled garlic is also amazing, especially on a Friday night if you don't plan to meet anyone all weekend 😂

How challenging was it to bring across that you don't eat meat? I have a feeling that would be quite alienating with my in-laws, their whole world revolves around meat.

Nah I actually stopped drinking years ago, luckily they respect that. I'll have some mild 杨梅酒 in summer every once in a while, that's pretty refreshing. But other than that I pretty much abstain.

You will from now on.
