Can I come too? Do you have room for uninvited guests? I won’t talk to anyone or bother anyone … I’ll just eat :)

Once you do enough cooking, you start to realize that most recipes can be rendered down to a few basic components and combinations … and it all depends on what region of the world you’re in, what culture, what foods are available and what you grew up with.

Cooking, preparing, cutting and serving a turkey/chicken is fairly simple if you stick to just the basics … and use a digital thermometer to monitor the internal temperatures

Gravy is a bit of a trick but do it enough times and you get the hang of it … if all else fails, have a packet of instant gravy mix handy (it makes gravy in about ten minutes)

Everything else with the Thanksgiving dinner is basically just boiled vegetables … if you plan on anything more complicated than this, then you are spending the entire day in the kitchen.

Dessert can be very simple or very complicated … depending on how masochistic you want to be … but it’s best to prepare the sweet stuff a day or two ahead of time.

Whatever you do … stay in the kitchen and pay attention to everything that is cooking, baking, frying or boiling … if it’s roasting for hours, stay nearby and be ready to act on it if anything changes or goes bad … in your off time when nothing needs to be done in the kitchen, wash the dishes and clean the space, because you’ll be making a mess again as soon as you start processing food again anyway.

If you’re not cooking, you’re cleaning. If you’re not cleaning, you’re cooking.

Sometimes I feel like my brain is in it’s seventh era

We used to do quite a bit of travelling ten years ago and we used booking.com quite often. In those early days of booking online, there was a period when you could call the help line and actually talk to someone from America or Canada. And they were always helpful. We got messed up bookings back then and we always got help and figured things out. At one point, we were booking so often, we got to know one or two of the operators we kept talking to in London, Ontario.

Fast forward ten years later and I would not recommend any of them any more. All of them send you to a call center in either South / Central America, Philippines or India and like your comment said, they do absolutely as minimal as possible to do anything and keep you waiting on the phone as long as possible.

None of them work any more and it is far better to use them to shop around for quality, reviews and recommendations … then book directly with the hotel.

Use the sites and services as a guide, then find a direct phone number to the hotel and book directly with them.

Funny how when you say the US is doing something is perfectly normal and acceptable … disturbing and troubling but still acceptable

But when you change the country name, then the world loses their minds

Top 3 are still the same from previous years

1. 12345
2. 123456
3. 12345678

It’s official: “123456” has once again claimed the controversial title of the world’s most common password — and one of the weakest. That marks six out of seven years this password has topped our chart

They should call it

You don’t get a SIM

You become a SIMP

It’s not “Gmail can read your emails” … Gmail has been reading your emails for years.

I think they’re programming the ketamine into the LLM at this point

An easy way to avoid anything like the French Revolution … or any kind of revolution … is to just feed people.

You can do whatever you want, abuse people, jail people, arrest people, even start a war, build concentration camps and for the most part people will go along with it all, as long as you keep them fed. You don’t even have to feed them much … just keep them fed enough to keep them from rioting and revolting.

Fixed your headline

But even when you look back on that data and information, the majority of it was skewed and manipulated to conform to and confirm a very specific set of values, politics and beliefs … much of whom didn’t have the best interests of people but rather in coddling corporate interests, the economy, money and power.

The US government shouldn’t be relied on for credible or reliable information.

They can’t be relied on for anything.

Isn’t it just a limitation of human vision? No matter how much resolution we can create, the human eye will only ever see a certain level of resolution … anything beyond that is imperceptible to us. I think I remember reading that 4K is the maximum we can realistically appreciate and anything beyond that is impractical because no one would ever notice the difference.

The only way higher resolutions work is if you start blowing up the size of the image itself. A 20" wide image at 720p looks good but the same image blow up to 60" becomes noticeably pixelated. A 20" wide image at 8K looks sharp and blown up to 60", it still looks sharp.

The current point of our human civilization is like cave men 10,000 years ago being given machine guns and hand grenades

What do you think are we going to do with all this new power?

It’s great because the internet was initially developed as a decentralized service so that if any part failed, the rest could maintain communications.

Over the past decade, corporations have been actively developing an internet of services that heavily rely on just a small set of services … and if any of them go down, everything is lost.

lol … communism is bad … unless they invest in your economy
