For me, the audioclip always starts out as “Yanny” and soon morphs into “Laurel”. Does that show that I have intellectual humility?

Does this work outside the U S of A?

I ended up having to buy a second Instant Pot (good thing they’re so often on sale!) because there are too many different things (needing different settings) that I want to cook at the same time. Even my beloved sous vide circulator, which I used to use several times a week, is gathering dust.

Possibly not. At the “low power” settings, induction hobs (even my very expensive commercial ones) pulse on & off at a relatively high power (try it with some plain water and see) rather than actually generating a consistent low power, and I suspect that would make a difference in this process.

Seems to me that an ultrasonic cleaner (not very expensive these days) would be excellent for cleaning Lego pieces.

Bake the pork? Not sous vide to keep it from drying out? You’re going to be browning it anyway. Would sous vide do something bad to this recipe?

Well, it does merit a semester-long course.

People are still getting married?! What next? They’ll start having babies again?

As common as it is, “meteoric rise” is a pretty weird expression.

The Summer Palace is easily worth a full day. Heck, maybe even two.

People still go to movie theaters? If I hadn’t given it up many years ago, this article would convince me to do so now.

I used to shop a LOT at Amazon, but no longer do because their prices aren’t competitive. Now they only get my business if I need something very quickly (but without the hassle of going out to buy it).

I would rather onionize my workplace.

The thing that makes sparkling wine wonderful is that it goes down so easily, and delivers such a rapid, glorious state of drunkenness.

You know what Agent Orange would say about that.
