Random Questions & Thoughts

Apparently every company that offered monthly baking kit subscription for adults has closed shop in Canada except one and HelloFresh.

Still quite a few in the States.
 
Would it be strange for me to show up at a half day conference for women's health in the workplace? It's being hosted by a paper.

I feel the title of the conference should contain enough information to answer your question.

CoPilot AI said I would add to diversity and inclusion. I have no interest in it. All the speakers are women except one journalist reporter (whom I assume is doing panel facilitation). There's free food from a catering company and free wine & beer happy hour afterwards which will go unused by me.

Don't know what CoPilot AI is, but I'd check in their user agreement if they will keep you safe from being cancelled/#metooed/etc.
the short of it is don't fucking go. You'll be at best irrelevant and more likely seen as some sort of pervert.
 
There's a class action lawsuit for Yahoo e-mail address owners. My mum and aunt have one. You just need proof of residence and an active account.
 
Will someone pardon Hunter Biden? You know..quid pro quo and all that.
 
I have a fire engine, the fire brigade command vehicle, the traffic/parking cops, the paramedics, the public order (riot control) cops, and the regular cops downstairs a few metres away from my lobby because of Taylor Swift. All I'm missing is SWAT and the mounted police.

Anecdotally, Taylor Swift's fans come in all shapes in sizes - mostly pudgy. At least compared to Olivia Rodrigo and The Weeknd. I don't know how they're so young and already so big. They really don't have a chance later on. Some of them are with their mothers so the telltale signs are already there.
 
When DW was great, it was all over ties. Now so many iGents don't even wear them. Or frequent DW.
 
I’m trying to buy cheap ties and cravats on eBay, but they aren’t flooding the market yet.

The thing about workwear is that it lasts forever, if you aren’t abusing it. The jeans and boots I bought 5-10 years ago are still going strong. Not really post-worthy.
 
I just realised Katy Perry was married to Russell Brand. He himself in the process of being cancelled since last year. Then she did a comeback album with Dr Luke who was in a series of lawsuits and counter lawsuits with Kesha on being abusive.
 
They didn’t stimulate me so I am not sure why I should give them any favours so Jeff Bezos can buy a new yacht.
 
I waited till Monday to buy something but it was more taking advantage of a coupon code for something I normally buy every 9 months. The only problem is they put it in USPS and the post is on strike so I have no idea when I will get it.
 
I listened to Anton Arensky for the first time in my life. Trio in D minor, Op. 32.
 
I'm beginning to pick up a lot of Spanish words based on similarities to Italian words. I watched Chef's Table with Ángel León and just attended a concert of apprentice opera singers choosing to sing in Spanish.

Cojonudo!
 
Imho any mortar and pestle is wrong, it just takes forever and ever. I use something likes this

and I haven't noticed any difference in the final product. It just saves a lot a time. (I don't think a regular/electronic blender would give the same result though)

Very pro.

I don't even have a blender. I use an old Ninja juicer someone gifted me to do everything (foams, purees, uncontrolled chopping, nut grinding, etc.)

Sorry what is this thing? Is that a cheap food processor?

It is a manual chopper/shredder, or whatever the technical term is. You pull the handle on top and the blades rotate. I think it is very similar (in effect) to what Fwiffo Fwiffo called Ninja juicer. I assume the one I posted gives you a lot more control over the final product, which is why I think it's fairly perfect for curry pastes. Also great for antep ezme and lots of other stuff. Couldn't live without one!
 
I just realised David Cameron...Lord Cameron...also studied Classics.
 
Given the paucity of their situation, I don't really know what to buy for my parents for Christmas so I bought a few edible things costing tens of dollars.
 
Thruth Thruth what are your thoughts on the blue LED lights used with whitening strips for teeth? Do they really improve performance significantly? And what about the benefits versus harms of leaving a 60min strip on for several hours? It the teeth don’t get too sensitive, is it really that harmful?

gimmick. the best bang for your buck is either:

Crest White Strips

or

You can get a bleaching tray from your dentist or online and you can get the carbamide peroxide gel syringes online too. Its won't work that much better than White Strips.

Leaving a strip on for longer increases the chance of post-application sensitivity as you are burning off more surface enamel than normal.
