I don't fucking *want* "infinite personalized music", I want music conceptualized, created, and played by human beings.

If you are treating all music like stock music or background noise, essentially a commodity that earns royalties, this applies.

But once you are even remotely interested in engaging with it as an artform the whole thing just falls apart, since there is nothing artistic, nothing intellectually challenging. Friction from being confronted with another sentient beings outlook on life is what makes most music worth listening to. It's an artifact of the human experience.

What is your essential cookware?

How would you prepare a lasagne or anything pizza-like with those utensils? I think i'd need a spatula and a casserole, just because half the things i cook require them. Also I truly need a dedicated spatula, i have chickens and flipping eggs with chopsticks sounds painful.

Casserole-dishes could be done by swapping out the wok for a deep pot but that is not as versatile.

Also i think i'd drop the thermometer since i rarely prepare meat and instead of the immersion blender i'd pick a thermomix, just because it's so much easier to prepare sauces with it. Bechamel in 6min is just something i can't do by hand. This can also be used for shredded cheeses, which otherwise would have to be done with the chefs knife. Additionally this frees up the mortar and pestle spot, it's not exactly the same texture for some asian recipes but most western uses for the mortar and pestle can be substituted by this.

  • Corner Spoon
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Chefs Knife
  • Food Scale
  • Spatula
  • Cutting Board
  • Can Opener
  • Thermomix
  • Deep Pot (can double as Casserole in a Pinch)
  • Deep Cast Iron Pan (can double as Casserole in a Pinch depends on the Dish)

I think i'd be able to cook most of my staples with this (except for some traditional german/french meats that require special prep) but as you said 80/20 applies

The legendary PS2

I have two in my closet and one downstairs in the TV Room, just in case one of them gives up. Plenty spare controllers as well. Made some of my best childhood/teen gaming memories with that console. Played it at the first sleepover i ever went to and at a boatload of family gatherings. It still gets use to this day for racing games when the family is here.
