    US Election 2024

    Let the games begin, I guess. I've always envied other countries where campaigns are, like, two months long instead of here, where they seem to start immediately after the previous one ends and run in varying forms for four years. Perpetual campaigning, way too much money: the prefect storm...

    Seasonings/spices

    An offshoot of the CONDIMENTS thread, these things need to be discussed. Life would be less interesting without chipotles in adobo. I lust in my heart for smoked paprika. Saffron is like the best drugs. Became hooked on it as a kid in a chance encounter with my first bouillabaisse, a...

    how do you classify them? just had a work experience where a colleague who I rarely interact with needed to check something I was working on, and then pointed out eight incorrect figures (turns out I worked from an outdated spreadsheet). it would not have been good if this incorrect...

    RIP iTunes

    it's long been fashionable to complain about iTunes but I'll miss it to a degree, hopefully the replacement Music app will retain features and functionality. I don't really care about iTunes as a music storage program but would really miss the download store, if that goes away (considering the...
