What the hell did I just watch?

Can Pork Last for 7 Months Without a Fridge? YouTube video by Historic Royal Palaces

Here's a really nice demonstration of Tudor-era meat preservation from the Hampton Court cooks

Today I learned I can make passable “gravy” using the flavor packet from a package of ramen

I spent time this afternoon pounding hot, 40-year-old bottoms!

Now all our vintage Revere ware will sit flat on the new cooktop

Seen at the antique store today

When he came out of the tomb did Jesus see his shadow, or do we have six more weeks of Lent?

I feel like I should be annoyed by the junk text, but I’m kind of curious about the story behind it

Only if his name is Tim

Why This Vertical Farm is 500x More Efficient Than Farming YouTube video by Undecided with Matt Ferrell

I thought of something like this 20 years ago - cool to see it actually happening

... though I still want to set up a farm to grow oranges in Ohio

It won’t win any beauty contests, but Cindy said she wanted a carrot cake with coconut frosting

I’ve lived in this house over 25 years and I just noticed … there’s a doorknob on the *inside* of the pantry

You still have to pay for the insurance, but it’s a hell of a lot cheaper than buying on the market

I plan on taking at least one class every semester during retirement anyway, but this could cover the gap until medicare kicks in if I retire earlier

The minimum is 1/2 credit hours per semester 😁

I’d been saying people over 65 could go to state universities in Ohio for free, but the age is actually *60*

I’m now trying to verify that enrolling under that program means you can also get coverage under the student health insurance plan

If so, that could significantly accelerate things

I wonder if I can get ChatGPT to take the required online Anti-Corruption training for me

Got an email this morning from one of my employer's top executives about a recorded Q&A session - this is why the company is doomed

I'm not the kind of person who can just "phone it in", but sometimes it's soooo tempting to try and replace all my work with AI and let the hallucinations fly

I don’t have anything specific on spice chests, but plenty of info on spices in general - feel free to ping me with questions

Your D&D Campaign's Medieval Tavern is WRONG YouTube video by History In Taberna

Good stuff here!

... except for the bit about perpetual stew, and Maggie Black's cookbook - just mentally edit them out. Also, he did the recipe for loseyns a bit wrong, but that's really getting into the weeds

We have an AI president

I was thinking along the lines of disable with a blanket, shove into a faraday cage, and drive off with it. Then you can work out how to do a factory reset and at your leisure and you have yourself a shiny new robot dog

No, air doesn't come out of their mouths or gills ... though I suppose they might be able to surface and get a mouthful of air to try and push through their gills

That said, whales and dolphins would play the harmonica through the blowhole on the tops of their heads

Crime 101 is a surprisingly good movie

Brings a whole new meaning to the phrase "small press"

I do NOT need another project

... though I will keep this in mind when I get my craft workspace back

Is it just me or does anyone else regularly get an earworm of the words from the old “Get a bucket of chicken” KFC jingle with the tune of Carlos Santana’s “Black Magic Woman” ?
