    Very interesting, thanks! That one is very different from what my little sister and I made as kids. Ours was more like the one from ChatGPT that I posted above. We were big fans of cream of mushroom soup, though. Our favorite was to mix a c

    I am a mere programmer, not any kind of UX writer. A company I worked for some 20 years ago had writers who mostly thought about the "happy path". When things went wrong, the error messages were left up to the programmers. I disco

    The case that annoys me to no end is when Windows is installing an update that requires a reboot, and it puts up a message like this: You're 90% there NO, you blithering idiot, I am not 90% there, you are 90% there. All I am do

    If you see this reply, may I ask a favor? The very first thing I learned to cook as a young kid in the late 1950s was a macaroni and cheese recipe from the BH&G cookbook. It was very different frum the creamy mac and cheese recipes that
