They’ve been here, there, almost everywhere. Go back to the 00’s and 10’s and see how much fun they had hanging out in ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ hotels, on planes, on trains, with the Clintons, at the UN Building in NY, at this or that famous company’s head office, etc. etc. etc… So it’s really no stretch at all to imagine them going to the Olypmics. Just sayin’. > [@How to make salmon safe to eat raw](https://tw.forumosa.com/t/how-to-make-salmon-safe-to-eat-raw/234322/23): > > So if I put it in a deep freezer (which can easily get to below -20) for weeks, I should be safe? I don’t recall what the timeline is for freezing them to death, but heat is pretty quick if you get whatever object you’re cooking uniformly to the right temperature. They sell special little ovens for the purpose on the interwebs. ---
