I tried this once, but stupid me didn’t think it through all the way. My steamer basket is for the microwave… do not steam eggs in a microwave steamer.

6 minutes in a pressure cooker and the eggs will be perfectly cooked and peel like a banana.

Tangential, but I discovered several years ago that even without overt ads in Google Maps, there was still something wrong. Search for “restaurants” and you get the same blend of corpo establishments no matter where you travel. Type in something specific like “arepas”, “korean bbq”, or “turkish food” and all of a sudden you get a list of options that is more diverse and still within the same zone as the generic search.

I don’t know why the ethnic options always get hidden by default and I hate it.

Yeah, several years back I had a pair of the Sony earbuds that I bought refurbished off of eBay. A firmware update borked the battery in one of the buds and Sony was replacing them free of charge, but since mine weren’t bought new and weren’t from an actual store, they told me to screw off, so I did and haven’t been back. Before Sony ruined them they were really nice buds, but I’m not trusting them with my money anymore since they have proven a willingness to unilaterally decommission their devices.

But you haven’t lived until you’ve tried the bee venom chocolate. It’s pricey, but it’s tough to harvest so I understand.

Ah, that one makes sense.

How was Nike involved? They didn’t exist until ~ the 70s I thought.

Being the “low cost Mac” is very different from being the cheapest option.

Though I’ll say that my one Mac purchase in the early 00’s was a few years after they switched to OSX and I bought a Macbook Pro for probably 60%+ more than the equivalent PC but it lasted me over 2X as long as any PC ever had prior. Plus the free OS upgrades that were unheard of on Windows machines at the time.
