Calling AI "slop" has been one of the most effective instances of the public rebranding a product and it pisses them off.

Fwiw, I play hard mode so have gotten stuck in pattern traps in the past, but opening word helped on that front today

The wordle dictionary (from before NYT locked it down internally, but this is likely 99.99% accurate still) has 50 that end in that pattern. Of those, about half are valid game solutions. Of that half, about half of them have never been a solution yet! Plenty of options unfortunately!
But... You're not playing hard mode? You could have used a sacrificial guess to sweep up 5 letters instead of only getting a test of 2 per turn

Repeat after me. Public services cost money. Public services are not a business. Public services SHOULD NOT make money. That includes cops and parking enforcement. Not every institution is, or should be, a business.
The appeal of stuff like cassette futurism has morphed over the past few years for me from childhood nostalgia to a very genuine desire for tactile, reliable, functionality over flashy, futuristic aestheticism that seems to only make things more difficult

At the local library where they’re clearly trying to throw off the “libraries are a quiet place” trope
(In fairness, everyone is getting headphones)
FWIW, there is a 1920s cinematic pipe organ in the building next door. That would be my preference for ultimate place to see Fury Road

Absolutely!
Digital controls rarely improve things. Touch sensitive controls likewise. Internet access almost never.
(Bought induction stovetop to replace old one recently. Been on the lookout for one with physical controls for ages. Finally found, but damn uncommon!)

One of the latches in mine is a bit loose, so been vaguely looking for a replacement. Approximately zero of the new models suit my taste in “give me a dial for temp that I can ignore, and a dial for time that I can set for each cook”. They’re all “digital” and “touch control” and overpriced. eugh!
Granted it's not a discussion space I ever seek out , but impression I’ve gotten is that pro-airfrier noise is generally replies to naysayers decrying them as useless/no different to an oven/etc - who I’m happy to mock because I think air friers are worthwhile (some are ridiculous priced, granted)
An airfrier is just a small fan-forced oven? sure. But by the same logic, a toaster is just a small grill, and a kettle is just a small electric stovetop with a built-in saucepan.

Oh dang. This is an excellent analogy.
Monstera fruit being held over a plate. Much has been consumed, and flakes of it’s outer skin are covering a plate
Nom nom nom
I'm confused. What claim?
oh yeah for sure. They're not a commercial fruit for multiple reasons (slow to grow, difficult to store, quirky ripening method, finicky eating method).
110% something you get because someone local is growing them. (I have a plant and might get 9 fruit this year, a new record)
banana bread is good. But if you have the ingredients, I can highly recommend using monstera fruit as a banana substitute.
The tricky part is having monstera to hand. This also assumes you like monstera (it's so yummy, but tricky to eat).
Monstera bread - for advanced yumminess!
What a fantastic fanfilm of Ford and Arthur from the #HitchhikersGuide to the Galaxy- as made by Greig Johnson.
