I feel like people who don't like salads really just don't like salad dressing (and vice versa, I guess).

Smother those salads in a simple red wine vinegar and Dijon + EVOO dressing and I'd be plenty happy.

In 2020 they recommended against face masks for non-healthcare workers. My understanding is that they did this to conserve masks for healthcare workers, as did the WHO. IMHO that was a really shitty thing for them to have done. Presenting all the facts and pleading with the public would, I think, have resulted in higher trust in them as an institution, ultimately saving lives, but that's just my opinion I guess.

But yeah, completely agree that even then it was more or less well meaning, as opposed to now.

Best ad ever IMHO (sorry for funky link, YouTube if you prefer).

No dialog, no rampant consumerism (hot sauce is a necessary food), no sex/sexism, no emotional manipulation.

Also, 1.21GW is famously used in Back to the Future.

SEA vs. NE, it said so right on the TV.

...now, why Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and an intercardinal direction are playing each other is anybody's guess. Maybe one of the runways has a nasty NorthEasterly crosswind?

Where energy efficiency isn't a concern (maybe a blender or a toaster) this sounds nice, but otherwise...well...lots of wasted energy.

(Of course, it all has to be balanced against the cost of manufacturing/disposing.)

Heat pumps want low temperature differences, so I'm not sure you're going to have much luck getting a heat pump oven to 475F/~250C.

Or, malicious compliance by someone with a moral compass. Best is to somehow leak documents wholesale. But if that's not possible, I think the next best way to all but guarantee that the information gets out is to do a lousy job censoring, and let "The Internet" do the rest. It also makes the administration look even more stupid, especially in the eyes of technically minded folks.

But yeah, not the best and brightest, that's certainly a possibility.

Give turnips a shot! Make sure to add a beet so they get that almost neon purple color (ok, really "argon purple") like you find in middle eastern restaurants.

If Gentoo can be both Chad and Schizo, Slack should definitely be in the Chad category too.

I mean, it's Torvalds' distro of choice iirc, which should count for something.
