This feels like somebody with no sweet tooth got creative with the assignment guidelines. No pie, no sweet vegetable, squash was chayote. Without seeing what exactly went into the "salad," I'm guessing it involved minimal amounts of apple and coconut with an old school French vinaigrette.

I might need to get one of those trees 😅

Nah. Just make sure it temps out at 165 degrees. Probably comes with it's own thermometer but I wouldn't rely on it to be accurate.

Depends. If it's a pipsqueak, it probably won't do much. If it's closer to a jalapeño bean chili fart, you might be able to get some corrosion going with it.

It's giving Monty Python.

Mrs. Non-Smoker: What d'you buy?
Mrs. Smoker: A piston engine!
...
Mrs. Non-Smoker: How d'you cook it?
Mrs. Smoker: You don't cook it.
Mrs. Non-Smoker: You can't eat that raw!
Mrs. Smoker: Ooooh... never thought of that. Oh, day and night, but this is wondrous strange!

They could've dropped the reading level a lot and been more effective at communicating. Maybe it's because I grew up on Odell Lake etc, but the bios didn't freak me out too bad in the early days. Command line on the other hand was terrifying even to paste things into.

I was getting at something else. If that article was a windows popup, it would ask "would you rather not install Linux and just do X?" "or just do Y?" with install Linux as a text link in like eight point font at the bottom left, which would link to a warning about installing Linux.

Spoiled woofers 🥰

Don't worry, I'll rescue your MIL by chucking the half ostrich in my cart first 😂 they run dirt cheap turkey with minimum spend deals here so I actively look for monster birds. Load up four freezer ziplocs with cheap meat and make soup from the bones.

MS making one last attempt to intimidate the newbies. People do not need the experience this implies in order to run Mint or Ubuntu. That overview was written to look as gnarly as possible, all the way down to burying dual boot in what they presented as the most extreme option.

Those reactions were wild. Fed is best. Food doesn't need to conform to anyone's concept of healthy, it needs to work for the person it is intended to feed. Eat what makes you happy.

The most unhinged thing I've seen this with? Mobility aids. I forget what the exact price gap was, but I did the math and wrapped a floral print cane in printed duct tape at one point because it was cheaper 🤬

You gotta go peak airport vibes here. Take like half a dozen of those empty boxes they have all over the store, line the bottom of the cart with em, and kerplop your stuff on the conveyor belt box and all.

Pink babbeh nose 🥰

It may need more of one thing or another to taste truly good to you. For me, that thing was more tomatoes and some hot sauce. For someone else, it may be saved fat (let's be real, most of us are grabbing 75% on the few occasions we still do beef). Tweak as needed.

Return squeezed pumpkin to pot. Stir in other ingredients and return to oven. How much salt? Unless the doctor said to pay attention, don't. Just pour until it tastes good. Return to oven for a couple hours, pull back out, and eat.

Chop the beast into chunks and bake at 350 for a couple hours, skin on. Let cool, then skin the chunks and squeeze out the excess water. There will be a lot. Either dump it or cook down and add sugar to use for drink syrup. Depending on what you're working with, this may take two rounds.
