Upvote for the rice cooker. A real game changer. Rice may not be that hard to make but you have to pay attention. So much better to have the rice maker handle it while you pay more attention to everything else

You just have good taste

Just goes to show Canada is the nicest place: despite all the bs we’re shoveling their way, they’re still acting as friends, trying to help us past our mental breakdown without harming the rest of us

For cases where I’ve seen this and know the answer, you nailed it. No bake whatever are even easier to make and not as rich. I don’t know if anyone actually prefers them but people seem to prefer making them and some people feel less guilty eating them

152 “essentisl” tracking cookies? No thanks

Yeah, no, I’m too impatient to bake a potato in the air fryer. Microwave is adequate and much faster, or propane grill is good and faster, or oven is higher quantity.

I’m all for smart devices but only the ones I own, that talk to where I say they can. Zigbee and z-wave for the win.

Unfortunately also too many surveillance devices that don’t have an alternative

A nutrition label useful for both comparison and meal planning? What will they think of next?

The responsibilities of each branch, the checks and balances, are well defined on both sides. Going off script is almost by definition an abuse of power

Given that the most typical use is spreading it on a slice of bread, I’ll argue, no I’m not out of touch, everyone else is. When the “serving size” can’t fill the expected use case, it’s not the consumer that’s wrong

You’re assuming the executive branch in its infinite wisdom knows better what we all want than Congress? I completely disagree. While I disagree with a lot of what Congress does, the consensus approach is less likely to lead to abuse

I’m still onboard with more tech but not where it has the wrong answers:

• do I actually own it?
• what master does it serve?

If you’re in reasonable shape and have the right attitude, regular parkour can be fantastic. My kids had a blast taking parkour classes at local playgrounds: think “the floor is lava” applied to fences, benches, playground equipment.

You do have to be prepared for some painful falls though, even from ground level.

I used to think this was a bad idea because while objective numbers are great, it can be difficult to apply it to real life. But then manufacturers play games with serving size so it’s no more realistic than a flat 100g, so I’ll pick the more honest choice

It can be easy to misalign the trap so it drips. Maybe this was long term, but if the upstream side were the misaligned piece it could have been a problem all along but not drip until the slow drain backed up far enough

Does he even commit insider trading anymore? Once you accept outright bribes, laundered bitcoin, and shakedowns of both corps and other countries, insider trading seems like the hard way of doing things

A worthy trade. Massachusetts has fewer guns than most and you’re welcome to all of them if you annex us. Boston has had hundreds of years of friendship with Halifax, especially, and we’re all for joining up

The idiots that are us only have limited options years apart. For day to day issues, it is mainly Congress who can serve as a check to executive overreach. They are the failure. Most of the overreach is the executive branch stealing congressional authority and they don’t seem to care

Clearly the private ownership is part of this dystopia. Even if we were to place limits or safeguards on this surveillance, it probably won’t apply to purchasing private databases
