The responsibility of the results is still yours whether doing your own work, copying from others, or using AI. “Intentionally using low-quality AI output without fixing it” is sabotaging yourself.


Use a sharp knife because a duller knife is less safe, and it does more smashing than cutting which casues more fumes.

Don’t put your head over the onions as you work. Take a half step back and extend your arms more so you’re further away from the fumes.

If your kitchen is not well ventilated, put your cutting board on the stove and turn on the hood.


Tortilla chips are the ultimate delivery mechanism. Chips and salsa, bean dip, guacamole, or queso. Combine some or all, or add cheese or protein and you have nachos. Or eat the chips just for the salt.



Depends on your perspective. I consider taking time to read a book or doing some gardening to be bettering oneself. A 5am run would benefit me to be in better shape, but it deprives me of an hour of sleep.


A lot of tech evolves and changes quickly, and a whole lot of people just dont like change, especially as they get older. It is also harder to learn new things as you get older. While it doesn’t apply across the board, the “can’t teach an old dog” addage generally holds true. This is not something that will go away. If you dont want to become that person, continue to exercise your brain as you age, and learning new tricks will be easier.


For baking powder, eye-balling a fraction of a teaspoon in that spoon is good enough for baking. Use weight instead (for all ingredients) if you want any kind of precision and accuracy; measure in grams to make scaling easier. Once you learn this, you’ll never want to go back to cups and spoons.



No, I dont and won’t use them. The worst part about these apps is that I now question the legitimacy of sports. I am not confident that the athletes are able to resist the temptation to throw a game.


The states have to get their revenue from somewhere. For NH, it’s corporate taxes and property taxes. It’s a problem, and they’re looking to raise government fees in 2026 to generate more revenue.



The classic margarita. Tequila, Cointreau, lime juice, and just a little bit of sweetener to take the edge off the acidity, or omit it altogether. Serve over ice.


I agree that weight is the best way to go, however not all recipes use weight and some conversions do not work well. An adjustable measuring device like this may help: https://www.oxo.com/2-cup-adjustable-measuring-cup.html


If people don’t understand a phenomenon, they have a tendency to attribute it to something else equally unexplainable.
