It may appear to be racism. I mean it is racism but they’re trying to manufacture a crisis to blame Walz

Regardless of kidnapping a foreign head of state, there’s a matter of invading a sovereign nation

Someone keep Vance away from that

Does Cuba have oil? Do they export illegal drugs? There really don’t seem to be any similarities

I’d buy Ukraine more as a prelude to regime change in Cuba. Russia may be falling apart but they still have nuclear weapons and historically defended Cuba. Drump needed to return to his master saying Ukraine agreed to cede territory in return for peace, so his master gives the go ahead to attack cuba

Sure, there’s that, and oil.

Also the economy sucks for non-billionaires, and oil

It’s always a good idea to disclose everything health related to your medical provider: how else can they effectively treat you. Any ethical medical provider will keep that confidential, plus confidentiality is protected by federal law like HIPAA …… someone does need to go to jail here, whoever violated her rights under the guise of medical treatment

Of course not. Yet they have a unique and valuable culture that others may wish to experience

As someone who lives in a city that’s a major tourist destination, I appreciate that our visitors learn more about us and the money they spend encourages development of more destinations that I also can appreciate

I don’t see how a visitor wanting to experience a cultures food takes anything away from its citizens, nor is it necessarily more expensive.

I don’t know - I found it well done and suited my needs so I paid for it.

Sometimes. But sometimes you might consider it fact-checking or parody, especially based on whether you agree.

I think that’s arguable but the fundamental point here is what value is being added? I guess I posted partly in response to the point about small content creators where this is an all too common occurrence that probably does no real harm…. Or at least the main issue is NOT pirating content from someone who can’t afford to defund themselves

I find them annoying even when I agree with them because reaction videos with no actual commentary added are just wrong

I get wanting to fleece the tourists, the same logic pick pockets and other scammers use, but it seems misplaced. I seriously doubt most tourists are wealthy. You’re advocating tfor exploiting people who’ve saved up for that dream vacation in a faraway land

Then what do you do when the next step requires “verifying the number”?

I generate a new email address for each vendor that forces me to specify one, but there’s not much I can do about phone numbers. I suppose it’s good from a security perspective that they want an additional authentication factor even if it’s only SMS, and good from a usability perspective to verify a path to resetting a password, but I can’t generate a new 🆕 hone number for every vendor

What if it’s a political reaction by “the other side”? Where I’ve noticed it is political commentary where they’re holding someone up for ridicule, but they don’t add anything of value other than showing it to a different audience in a different context.

That small creator would never have been viewed by that audience and will not lose any of their core views by virtue of additional audience. They don’t get clicks but I suppose it increases name recognition

I’ve seen some with impossible cook times but I assume that’s just different ingredient expectations or something.

For example I want to look up a time and temperature to cook chicken breasts but the time is impossibly short. At that temperature it may take 2-3x the time. Are we already at the point of ai recipes with unnoticeable flaws or do “chicken breasts” mean something very different in different places? Or maybe it’s a flawed conversion from metric?

It’s kind of like music. I used to have a collection of cookbooks to do exactly that, just like I used to have a collection of music in various formats as technology changes. But it’s too limiting. It can never compare to a digital search among all the world’s recipes/music.

My approach was to buy a recipe manager. I generally search online to find something new that looks interesting. But then I import it into my recipe manager so I can use it without all the life story, the excessive ads, the really annoying screen redraws to show yet more ads, the popped to display additional ads or the inline partial recipes that are more ads in disguise

And maybe that “separate but equal” can serve as a check and balance to keep any branch from abusing their power …. Or is that off the deep end?

Dammit, Massachusetts is only $15/hr and no plans to increase. Given our cost of living, we really need to try harder

I’ll second that but also depends on the chili

• if I make chili, it’s intensely flavored and spicy. Ground turkey is oddly bland so doesn’t really work
• if my ex makes chili, it’s more of a mild bean and vegetable stew and ground turkey goes well with the other mild flavors

I use Paprika on iOS, which does this.

• import a recipe from any URL - including source, photos, nutritional info
• keeps a database of recipes
• create meals or calendars of recipes
• generate a categorized grocery list

I have a folder full of recipe files from before I got that, but haven’t really looked yet for anyway to import those

For me the meal planning is more important than the shopping list.

Even with a list I still may get a bunch of random stuff and no meals. But if I know what meals I want to make, I can do a decent job even winging it

Both.

• for something unusual or occasional I make a list
• for my usual stuff the fastest approach is to just take every aisle and wing it

For example for dinners in a week

• I’ll just wing it to get a couple packages of chicken and some veggies. I do the same every week
• I’ll need a list if I’m out of a spice or need rice or scallions or something
