i don't think i could do that; i can usually make enough soup for several days if i spend like an hour on it. i don't think i could make a multi course meal, and on short notice the problem would be i don't keep enough fresh vegetables around to do that.

oh that's actually a really good call. when i measure flour i have a whole process where i take a measuring cup and a butter knife to level the measurement off but that means i have to dirty two things up each time i measure.
I'll have to look in to getting a scale. i don't like buying special kitchen tools though, so who knows. if i get one i'll let you know.

The scale is good because you don't need to dirty measuring cups or anything else. Everything in one or two bowls! Amazing feeling

I should try some of the older wizardries some time. 8 is one of my absolute favourite games of all time but I've never played any from before that!
maybe I will get round to it by next year, which of course is 1996

Woah, good list, thank u
Marvel Rivals is good because it runs on Linux and does not have kernel anti-cheat, but one guy makes portals which degrade performance from ~90FPS to ~2SPF on my machine.
"Codenames app" is something I would never have considered until your recommendation. Turns out their Privacy Policy (translated) appears to be pretty good. It's long because it's specific, not because it's horrific.

This really connects it together. If someone isn't aware of their hypocrisy, then they just might be getting off to it :(

From what I understand, he wasn't even inquiring to BUY anything. He's reaching out and asking her to meet him all the rest of the way. Agreed, I think this is shit behavior

I've been thinking about this. When I was in my teens, I just assumed everyone thought about things critically, but the capacity for humans to internalize enough facts and to think well precluded them from doing it too well. Now I'm realizing there are people who never think critically.
Maybe I'm being too generous even to think this dude recognizes the hypocrisy. Man

yeah as far as using a scale to measure goes that's probably a good call if you wanna be really speciifc. one cup of flour can have different amounts depending on how much if fluffs, for example. but i feel like.......................................... IME cooking is pretty forgiving. you odn't need to be down to the miligram

being good at cooking means you don't need to use a scale

that might be cheesy, cause it is, but it's what i believe to be true

imo if you're deciding for yourself, all that matters is what your heart says

If someone is "good at cooking", I'd say they have the confidence to operate in their own kitchen space, and the capacity to make a good handful of meals from memory without any mistakes. They should be able to determine if their ingredients are fresh or not. They should know enough to know the terminology, be able to piece apart what parts really matter in a recipe, and be able to bake a few things. They should also have some baking competency.
That said, "good at cooking" might just be something someone tells you when you use a lot of butter, sugar, or salt in the meal.
And, by god, they should be using a scale for measuring whenever possible.

yeah the business model for Codenames is you spend $5 on it once, which is kind of crazy for a long term service game but it's working out fine
