My city seems to have a problem producing good bread at non-insane prices, which means it's also ~impossible to get a decent sandwich at anything but LOLWTF prices, and even then you're rolling the dice that it'll be better than what a totally ordinary sandwich should taste like, and does in cities that don't have this bizarre problem. We're in the heart of wheat-growing country, too. It's really weird.

Our Mexican food's great, though, so we have that going for us.

We used it a lot over the pandemic and random crashes and having to restart because it started using way too many system resources was extremely common. Nobody left it open when not in active use, because it was such a resource hog. Using it on battery would take a macbook from full to 0% in like two hours flat. This was with a couple very small private groups only, no use of large public channels or anything.

I don't get why the branches in which very few folks are likely to need camo (basically anyone other than the army, then, and some sub-divisions of other branches like the marine corp) don't go with old-school olive drab or navy or something. Those single-color uniforms with a slightly dressy cut looked damn slick. I'd think that'd be better for recruiting or improving morale or whatever than the camo uniforms (which, often as not, are the butts of jokes and not considered at all appealing)

Then again, maybe those old styles only looked good when they were made with nice materials, like wool and heavy waxed canvas, and would look bad with cheap modern synthetics.

I've been cooking a long time and IME there's about a 95% chance that a recipe billed as "15 minutes" is only actually 15 minutes if you don't start the timer until all the veggies are processed, all the equipment is out, and all the ingredients are measured.

Almost always the actual time for "15-minute meal" is 30-40 minutes—sometimes even longer. Not counting stuff like clean-up (any that you can't accomplish via clean-as-you-go, anyway) or shopping or any of that, just the actual time between "I have all the stuff I need for this recipe and am going to make it now" and "OK it is ready to eat".
