@float13 Wow, that looks really nice! Thank you for the link 🙂

@chebra @Vierkantor Thank you, that would be cool learning! Will take a look 👍

@Vierkantor Thank you: I love the idea of an engineer's take on cooking, so will definitely check it out!

@bkembo Perfect, thank you! I like the idea of knowing the why's of doing something :D

Is there like a cookbook/website focused on extreme beginners, which has really basic recipes for the obvious meals everyone's heard of, and focuses on the core recipe first and then explains what each ingredient is for?

I feel like every recipe requires too many things that I don't want to keep in stock, so it's be nice to have simple recipes that helped you start small and add fancier ingredients as you experiment.

...seem to have no in-universe origin story, and this is bothering me.

I was in the title office today and at my window there was stuck some stenciled holiday decor, but instead of a snowman or Santa or reindeer it was a hedgehog. A red hedgehog. Why a hedgehog?!? I don't know of any holiday story or tradition that includes a hedgehog, so why?!

And like, it's the title office, you can't really ask why and there probably isn't a good explanation. So I guess it will just haunt me for the rest of my life.

And they're on Etsy too!!? https://www.etsy.com/market/hedgehog_christmas

[microwave manufacturers]: Let's design number pads so hitting button x will automatically cook for x number of minutes so people only have to press one button!

[frozen dinner makers]: Let's make sure all our dinners have instructions to cook for x minutes plus 30 seconds so people always have to type out 3 digits :P

Dear elastic.co:

You've got a lot of nerve to be naming a scripting language "Painless".

Windows 11's File Explorer is very optimized and by optimized I mean it's melting my CPU trying to unzip a file.

For a long time, whenever my Win11 laptop rebooted, it would always reset the volume to a barely-audible level, which I found quite annoying.

M$ seems to have fixed that, because last night it (automatically) rebooted for an update, and then reloaded all the web pages I had open... and then I woke up at 3 AM to hear a YouTube Music playlist going at full volume.

Watch like no one is dancing.
