Yep.

I thought it was a great tool.

But I still know how to use paper maps and a compass. Because electronics fail waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more often than paper does.

Get one that uses the right skin products, duh!

The spoon method for pomegranates was a game changer for me. Beforehand I loved the taste of them but rarely ate them because they were such a pain in the ass. Now I eat them whenever they’re available.

I eat most things with chopsticks, so it’s a no-brainer to extend that to snack foods.

That works as well, but it’s harder to direct in my experience. The fork+spoon method of twirling just works best for me.

Well, when I’m in Canada. Here I eat noodles with chopsticks.

Or learn to twist the spaghetti with your fork against the spoon. It took me all of about ten minutes to learn that.

I use the spoon method for pomegranates.

For watermelon, I like to slice it in a grid with a knife before using a spoon to eat it. Then I don’t need a special spoon with serrations.

Thank you! 💘

It has some applications, but far, far, far, far fewer than its advocates hype.

Worst: Using ChatGPT (In French: “chat j’ai pété”) for anything important. I spend more time checking its output and stomping on its hallucinations than it would have taken me to just write things on my own.

Best: Learning to say “no” when people ask you to do things you don’t have time to do.

It … shows the last line!? That’s a very weird choice.

Different rices are needed for different uses. Basmati is one of the best for Indian food, for example, but it would suck for making zongzi. You want some kind of glutinous rice (I like Thai glutinous best for this) for that dish. And both would suck for sushi.

Why thank you! 😆

Thankfully I live a five minute walk away from my favourite restaurant in the world … which makes Chongqing style hot pot. 🤣

You’re missing the point of the exercise. You’re meant to spend that billion on you and you alone, one million dollars a day, to show just how ludicrously large a billion dollars is … and then realize that to billionaires it isn’t enough.

Surprise, Sparky! I’ve also been in your nation. (I’ve likely been in more nations than you have towns.)

My starkly negative opinions of the USA and its toxic attitudes and society comes from direct personal experience.

Chongqing style hot pot is a nightmare to make. Fen zheng rou is easy and there’s a dozen or more recipes online, most of which are pretty decent.

A.k.a. the Borderline Personality Disorder fallacy.

It’s a metric fuckton better than a country a hairsbreadth away from civil war and a populace with hair triggers, yes.

Fen zheng rou. Unless it’s really rough in which case it’s Chongqing style hot pot.
