My only problem with her soaps is that they look like they would be delicious to eat, but I'm sure they just taste like soap.

I feel this way about so many things right now.

This is also maddening. Anybody who thinks we're going to get a novel, actionable solution to climate change from an LLM doesn't understand how LLMs work. At best, it can tell us what we already know. People just don't want to hear that.

Just a drop of that money would be life-changing for a small company. But no, all money must be shoveled into the greedy maw of the scaling beast, instead.

The end result tastes like it would make a great barbecue sauce. I might add a little smoked paprika, if I do the spicy version again.

This year, I wanted a spicier version, so I leaned into the ginger, and added some cayenne. It's almost ready to go into the fridge.

11.) Pour into a glass container with a lid, and put in the fridge to set the fruit pectin. The final product should be the consistency of jam.

9.) Optional ingredients: Brandy, cayenne, or unsweetened cocoa.
10.) Simmer to thicken a little more, stirring frequently to keep the bottom from burning. It does not need to reach its final thickness at this point.

5.) Add sugar just until cranberry flavor blooms, and not a jot more. If you don't want that much sugar, you can substitute date syrup for part of it.
6.) Grate fresh ginger into sauce.
7.) Grate whole nutmeg into sauce.
8.) Add a dash of salt. (No really.)
...

3.) Place saucepan over medium heat. Heat until berries split their skins, checking frequently, so as not to burn.
4.) Coarsely mash berries, and stir well. (Popping the unsplit ones is fun.)
...

My recipe for anyone who wants to try it:
1.) Rinse a bag of cranberries, and remove any dodgy bits.
2.) Dump cranberries in small saucepan. Add water until it almost covers the berries (but not more).

People are welcome to their canned sauce affection, and I don't at all begrudge them for it. But I've been making this stuff for decades, and it's really not even the same dish.

Sadly, I don't have any brandy on hand to put in it this year.

Animal Crossing would just burn half your village to ash if you go more than eight hours without visiting. The museum has been repurposed as a makeshift survival shelter for displaced residents. Tom Nook is profiteering from the disaster, naturally.

Yes, but we don't usually do royalty-only deals, for obvious reasons.

That's deeply strange.

Cats are here for a limited time only. You can't possibly cuddle them too much.

It’s an especially silly lie to tell Gen Z, given how long ago that ship sailed, at this point. It’s quite simple really: If you want more parents at home, you need to elevate incomes, and/or reduce the cost of living.
