I’m about 40 now. If I pay $10 a month to stream music for the rest of my life, I’ll probably spend $4800 on *unlimited* music for the rest of my life. (Likely far less since streaming prices are probably going to go down and I’m probably going to listen to music less and less as I age.)

What’s wrong with well-done and ketchup? Honestly. Think about it!

I grew up on a cattle farm and ate steak or roast beef usually every night for supper. Good purebred simmental beef, and my dad was also the local butcher so we had a huge 12' freezer full of meats and various other types of meats in our basement. I know a bit about eating dead animals.

Look, there’s plenty of ketchup in the world. No need to eliminate me to try and hoard it all!

I can’t imagine eating poultry without some sort of sweet tangy sauce. That’s uncivilized!

Nope it didn’t happen, I’m still here! But rest assured, my life will someday end and the ketchup will leak out of me, releasing its atoms to the universe to once again be enjoyed in red tomato goodness on some other fortunate person’s tasty steak.

Nobody *needs* ketchup! It sure makes meats tastier though! Mnnn

As Shakespeare put it,

See that’s just the thing - *any* cut of meat is supremely tasty when it’s a well-done beef island in a sweet beautiful red Heinz ketchup sea.

Oh! I forgot Ron Swanson would be a no-ketchup guy so in this instance I contradict my own avatar!

I should add that if you put a liberal squirt of ketchup over all your meat, the flavour blah blah fat surrounding muscle blah blah whatever is something that becomes irrelevant and your eating experience is awesome every single damn time.

Are we all still in agreement that ancient mystical Asian remedies get a free pass on the entire process though?

I think this is my favourite How I Work in ages. Our dear subject thinks for himself and doesn’t do things just the way the herd does it. More like this please!

Oh yeah, I see what you mean. The amount of work that went into a little game we buy for $20 is astonishing. I’m a software developer (not games though), I totally get what you mean, I apologize for misunderstanding.

Oddly enough though I have to say I wouldn’t pay $20 for two to four hours of gaming entertainment no…

What I’m getting at is that you’re possibly cheating yourself (or allowing someone else to cheat you by way of guilt) by trying to estimate how much work went into it and deciding whether or not you want to give them that money based of your estimation of the contents of a black box.

Ohhhh no. That attitude is insidious for producers and unfair to our own self.

I watched the video and re-read the article and can’t figure out his connection to Photoshop other than he runs around having fun events to hang out with like-minded people. And he is really REALLY mobile oriented.

To read my whole message, it just cost you ... how much?

As I get older, I realize that the dollar value of my free time is increasing every day.

I work in web development and Macs are probably just as ubiquitous - if not almost unanimous. People in my industry sometimes think that the Mac’s unix-like OS gives them the power of a Linux machine with the versatility of a Windows box except with more stability and security. And they see other industry leaders that…
