I enjoyed reading your story. All the while I couldn't help but want to share how good pan-fried/toasted bread is. It's the butter of course, just generously butter up a pan, spread the bread so it soaks up the butter. Takes

tip based jobs are overwhelmingly minimum wage. of course we can argue whether that’s cause or effect, but the point is, it makes very little sense to compare literally “the minimum allowable threshold for legal employment” to professional

+1 to all the sibling replies. I’ll add the inspiration element from my experience: Samin Nosrat is a fantastic teacher. She shares cooking through the lens of “why”. It’s the opposite of say, rote learning which, as a beginner, i’d always

Plastics create the management issue in the first place. That’s ok, we get value from plastics, so you’re right in that we can just better manage the plastic problem and have less of a problem. but the plastic problem, even if reduced, stil

that’s helpful information to think about! thanks. in other words, there are things we can do to manage the situation we’re in. i kind of assume you’re familiar with https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24714880 so that’s

i’m no export so there will be no citations. i was just thinking, the current state of plastics is they pollute oceans and jeopardize entire ecosystems. and they’re made from oil. an idealized argument for how, strictly speaking, this outco

This is underappreciated. Art and expression is a value in and of itself. I don't think it's a cop out to think this way. However, creating something is in fact complicated and retreating to "I'm just making art" is
