Depends on what you're cooking.

For example: I can throw together some pasta and have it be done in 20 minutes, 45 minutes, an hour, 2 hours, or 6 hours. All depending on the type of pasta I'm making, how many people I'm serving, and how complex I want to get and how many layered flavors I'm trying to build or if I want to make my own fresh noodles or use some dried noodles in the pantry.

However, no matter the process I use, at the end I usually only have one pot, serving utensils, and dishes used for the meal. I clean while I cook very effectively, but there are times where timings of cooking techniques prevent that and I'll have to do some quick cleanup before serving.

I love tacos. I could eat tacos every day and never get tired of them. All varieties are good with me. Corn tortillas, flour tortillas, crispy fried tacos, taquito, even crunchy taco shells. There used to be a dive bar near where I lived in 2015 that would do $5 for 5 beef or bean crunchy tacos with cheese, lettuce, dice tom, and sour cream and I'd easily polish off 10-20 of those with a beer or two (I don't live near there anymore and the bar closed down right before COVID due to the building be demo'd)

My wife isn't big on eating the same thing for more than 2 days in a row and I miss the days of eating tacos 4-5 times a week by choice.

You're not dead inside. You're living a dream of mine right now.

Fucking necromancers and their black magic.

This is incompetence.

I've been in and out of games for my entire career. Every place I've been has had strict policies on outside art assets. I've even seen every new art asset to require a monthly license review to prevent any chance of outside art having slipped in somehow, including any usage of Blender's example model Suzanne.

There is no objectivity in taste. Coffee drinking is a spectrum of preferences from flavor profiles delivered by growing, bean blending and roasting practices to acidity, particulate matter, strength, caffeine content, additives (milk/sugar/etc), and other subjectivity.

I personally don't enjoy most cold brews, or cold coffee in general, as cold coffee tends to allow more fruity flavors come through, which I do not enjoy at all in my coffee experience.

I however, would not turn down a cold brew if that's all that's available. I mean, hell, I'll drink a cup of black from a rundown diner that's brewed from folgers and been sitting on a hot plate for 30+ minutes. And if that's somebody's favorite cup of coffee, I'm not gonna judge them and tell them their coffee is inferior.

Seattle? Sounds like Seattle.

The big problem with modernization of gig work by these companies is that they're screwing of the gig workers by inserting themselves in the middle and fucking over everybody else involved.

For example: Town car services existed for years before Uber came to the scene. Before Uber you'd have to call a town car service that may be a single person operation, or a small group of people getting together and hiring a calling service.

The idea of the modern, centralized, gig services is not a terrible idea in itself. But running that as a capitalist business is terrible. This is one of those things that should be required to be a government service or a non-profit.

I WFH for a company where we're regularly moving files and packages in the 100s of GBs. I'm already on 2.5Gb and and I still ahev to wait 10-20 minutes at times. I also share a connection with my wife who is a CAD designer and 3D Space modeler for an architect who also works from home who also has similar upload & download times for some of her work.

That's just us. There's plenty of other professionals out there that work with large files between teams either as a job or hobby from home.

10Gb has a market for home users. It may be limited at this time, but it's there.

Don't forget, outright removing a UI for modifying settings forcing users to use registry mods, potentially a PS command, or a third party tool to force the behavior you lost from a simple setting removal.

Rubber begins to degrade after 3-7 years depending on the compounds. Even if stored in ideal conditions to slow the degrading, you're only going to give it marginally more life.

Degraded tires risk side-wall blow outs and let will easily let through sharp debris (sticks, thorns, glass, sharp rocks) causing far more maintenance needs.

That's not to say bikes aren't beneficial and there's ways to get around this (stuff the tire with leaves, foam core [also has limited life span], etc), but it is something to be aware of.

This all reminds me... I need to replace the tires on my good weather bike.

1. Wrong spectrum disorder.
2. As someone with ADHD I wish I could get by without Adderall or similar stimulant. Even with stimulants, life is a fucking challenge. Struggling to listen to conversations that are important to you to only wind up thinking about another task or interest and getting lost in thought.

Hell, just yesterday I walked inside while gardening to grab some tools from a toolbag that was left inside, while repeatedly saying out loud what I was doing. Got to the bag, and completely forgot why I was inside even though I had said why 3 seconds before and had to close my eyes and focus for 10 seconds before it came back to me. And this is a regular occurance that happens a dozen times or more a day WITH MEDICATION.

The side effects of aderrall aren't the most pleasant either. But the benefits of having some level of control of my brain, reducing the number of times thoughts drift away, and much much more, I take them. And I am somebody with mild-moderate ADHD issues.
