How long have you had your current water bottle?
  • I have nalgene bottles older than my kids!

    I have bought 5 in my lifetime, the first 3 were lost (stolen) over the course of several years of use. Even though they had my name in sharpie, stickers making it clearly unique... they just seemed to get lost at events with lots of people. Then I bought two bright pink ones and somehow have not "lost" them since!

  • Cool YouTube cooking channels?
  • Foodwishes is the OG YouTube cooking show: https://foodwishes.blogspot.com/ has over a decade of content. Recipes vary in complexity but always does a good job of breaking down the steps & explaining the what and why.

    America's Test Kitchen and Bon Appetit both have channels with a lot of content, but are geared towards getting you to subscribe to their paid content.

    There's also a ton of old TV content available. E.g. Good Eats has a number of episodes posted (or maybe just parts of episodes, but enough to learn).

    Kenji Lopez Alt is also a major content creator. He has several first person view videos with commentary while he cooks. This is a good format to see the cooking skills in action and help learn / improve techniques.

    Beyond these big ones, there are many good channels with focus on specific culinary styles.

  • Do you freeze fresh garlic ?
  • Just oil and time. Not difficult but possible to over / under cook. You can of course make it fancier with spices and such, but a basic version is pretty low level cooking skill required.

    Whats up with my little pony?
  • For what it's worth, anyone with children in that target demographic today should skip ponies and watch Bluey. That's a show clearly geared for the whole family. Parents can learn as much as kids about how to play and interact together in a wholesome way.

  • Personal Income and Outlays, June 2023

    Highlights include PCE 1 year price index dropping to 3.0 (mostly due to base effects as 2022 data rolls off).

    Income increase slowed, but spending picked up. Not a good direction for metrics like savings rate, but good for GDP.

    What are some useful or just cool stuff to memorize?
  • I've never seen these flop at kareoke (if done with average competency):

    Jump around - cypress hill gang

    I will survive - Gloria Gaynor

    Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen

    Billy Jean - Michael Jackson (many other covers)

    Shake it off - Taylor Swift

    Pick 1 of the above plus a Beatles song and you're good for impromptu Kareoke.

    If you have a few days notice and a friend to plan with the options expand...
