    I've been curious about it! But I don't have the guts to spend that money right now.

    I won't get between this friendly competition, but let us know who wins! This is really funny!

    The last competition I had was who could make the best dutch baby; bought a cast iron pan just for the occasion.
    @Wildfire: I don't mind preservatives or pre-made foods. They can be an easy go-to and helpful for when you're just not up to cooking or need a little bit of a head start. It's only that--like you mentioned--it gets expensive if you rely on it too much sometimes. I bet a cooking class would be really enjoyable in school when you're young, especially if it's just to cook some basics or have other kids bring in recipes to try. I didn't really learn to cook until I was...I believe around 20. It was definitely intimidating at first, and you don't know what the directions really mean; thank goodness youtube exists now.


    @Koah: Isn't it wild how many foods have food coloring? Sometimes you just have to wonder why. The same with sugar!
    Ohh, I'm envious! I've never tried Norwegian foods. I was pretty lucky to grow up where I did; lots of seafood (father was a fisherman) and lots of game meats because it was a lot of wilderness. There are a lot of companies and delis that will sell specialty meats. Kielbasa is pretty common, even in grocery stores (I thought) and reindeer sausage was a staple where I grew up.

    @Wildfire: Ooh, the sauteed greens from your garden sound really good. One of my favorite dishes is collared greens.

    I wonder if perhaps cooking in general isn't just a bit intimidating, and moreso coming up with meal plans that are supposed to be healthier.
    He must be a picky eater, haha. Lentils are pretty delicious, and one of my favorite things to eat because they can be so satisfying in the cold weather. Back home, there was a restaurant that made a lentil soup with reindeer sausage so it was very tasty.

    Cooking your own food can be substantially cheaper, and if you're knowledgeable about where to shop and what's in season, eating "healthy" isn't hard at all. It's especially easy in a farm country because produce tends to be cheaper, but it's usually pretty accessible anywhere these days.

    The last room mate I had was on this steak-only diet.
    It still makes my eyes water from giggling about how he always complained about his stomach.
    I miss the food I ate when I was in school. It was really just pizza, nachos, beer, wine, and caprese salads. And enough coffee to serve a cruise liner.

    My father is like that; he becomes personally offended any time someone mentions that they're vegan. For whatever reason, he just can't get over the idea of honey. Or veganism, really.
    To see a new place in the world might be nice, but I don't have any really big desires.

    Ohhh, some of those are so pretty! I'm envious! Especially those lovely blossoms and cool retro scenery pins. Congratulations on getting your shadow box.

    I saw this today and thought of the thread:


    I didn't really understand the linked twitter, though. Perhaps it's because I'm coming from a legal knowledge base so it just sounds like rambling without any comparative basis. "Let that sink in," isn't persuasive to me. From what I've read so far, it stands on the foundation that no system can prove ownership and that's why NFTs are inherently incorrect. I think that's where I'm the most confused, because we have plenty of "systems" that do just that.

    Either I'm not understanding what the definition of "ownership" is in the NFT context, or I'm missing something else.
Posted in we have received snow. Posted 2 years ago
    We had a snowfall of about a foot a couple of weeks ago, and the weather warnings recently for snow have just become rain. I don't miss shoveling, that's for sure.
Posted in aaaaaahhh is nowhere sacred anymore Posted 2 years ago
    I think it really only leapt in popularity because of that one guy who sold his pieces in that format. If money can be made, people are going to jump on it. Eventually a new trend will come along and we'll hear about that as the NFT trend fades into the background. It all really just seems like a game for bitcoin bros to play, so I never paid much attention.
