I had a family friend of my Nana from Hungary make a dessert from blueberries before my eyes when I was 14.
Rinse and place blueberries in a saucepan. If they’re a bit tart, add 1 or 2 Tablespoons of sugar. Warm of medium heat until some of the berries pop, creating juice. Optionally, add 1 Tablespoon of lemon juice. Remove from heat and let cool. Serve warm or chilled with a large dollop of sour cream.
I read a post on Mastodon from someone in Ontario Canada that was proposing shutting off all export of oil and electricity to the US. The thing that made me doubt this was they were also calling for impeaching 45 (again!). That would leave Vance which scares me even more.
My father’s career advise to my brother and me was “Make lots of money so I can come live with you when I get old.”
My brother didn’t like that advise so he did a bunch of research and asked a bunch of people about their careers. He got a masters in an Engineering field but hated working in that field. So he got another masters. He doesn’t use it for his career.
I studied Chemistry and left grad school to do software development with no degree in it (it was the 80s). I never used my degree either.
Confronting my dad about his bad career advise would have just gotten his Standard Response to Criticism™–But I’m lovable.
And no he never lived with either of us. But then he never go old.
I wonder how well these would work over today’s VOIP lines. AT&T and my local phone company don’t sell wired lines any more in my area. All I could get is a VOIP line.
Someone here said this cartoon is typical of pre-adolescent brains. A friend who’s the local “Jewish mother” of her block had the kids next door visiting her kids for a play date. She asked them if they wanted some cheese for a snack.
“I want goat cheese” said the 6yo boy.
The older 8yo was a little more polite “Do you have any brie?”
True story and so perfect I had to add it to a fanfic I was writing.
Lovely little utility.
Shut up and take my money.
I’m perfectly fine switching back to a “feature phone” aka dump phone that takes phone calls and sends texts. If it also could be used as a music/podcast playiner, that’d be great too.
