> I don't understand why a simple problem like password management, needs a subscription and a private company to create software for the problem.
Speaking from recent experience migrating non technical users to 1Password, while something like pass might work well for me/the typical HN user, there's no way I'd try to get family to use it. I have found the overall 1Password user experience to be very friendly and reliable, but am still semi regularly having to help family figure out/re-explain something about how it works. They'd be lost with something like pass.
A book that we've used a lot for ideas on cooking healthy and cheap meals is "Good and Cheap" by Leanne Brown. You can download the PDF for free from her site, or buy a hardcopy from several sites (I have no affiliation, just a happy buyer/reader/cook):
It's based on trying to counter this very idea ... and has a lot of great ideas for what feels like "fancy" meals, but with pretty simple ingredients/instructions. Highly recommended if you are interested in expanding your kitchen repertoire (whether you're a cooking newbie or an experienced "foodie").
