i'm designing an entire curriculum for my child based on this post
Today my Gen Z friend and I were talking about vintage tech, and she asked me what “the box under the screen” was called. I feel BAD about how loud I shouted “THE COMPUTER???” (“No, the box the screen sits on.” “THE COMPUTER???” I shouted again, even more rattled now)

Realizing that my then-toddler's weird behavior was him choking on some food and giving him the Heimlich as he turned gray – probably took 20-30 seconds of real time to resolve, my hands didn't start shaking until a few minutes after it was over and the what-ifs kept me up for hours that night.

New way to help: donate Delta Skymiles to get people home to Minnesota if they're released from detention in Texas.
Okay! This has already inspired a bunch of DMs, so I made a page on the website. If you have 50,000+ Skymiles and would be willing to book flights to get someone home, please fill this out.

The lesson that I learned about recipes while working as a line cook and later while helping to record our recipes for the restaurant cookbook is that the trick to good cooking is ignoring the timing and using your eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and fingers to tell when to move to the next step.

"the bolo's filled with love and when we taste it we can taste the love!"

worked from home on Friday so I could start a double batch of bolo during lunch and tend it between meetings but this kid is eating it for breakfast and packing it for lunch and my freezer reserves are already depleted
do you think a sick toddler will be fooled by 40 minute instant pot bolognese when he's asking for the 4-hour bolo that is his favorite comfort food

1/3 REICH is a truly incredible nickname for Greg Bovino that everyone needs to see
Dunno why I came here expecting people to be thrilled about the Bovino news, that was dumb of me. God forbid we get one extremely small (GET IT??) win, right?
Anyway someone on Reddit called him 1/3 Reich & it's the only time in my life I've laughed at a Reich joke so I'm gonna go hang out there
