  • I remember liking ones from Europe, even if I didn’t understand the language at all, because someone would point the camera at their aunt or grandmother who would just go ahead and make the food in a straightforward fashion.

    Beyond that, what would I want? It might be nice to hear about the experiences of having tried deviating from steps in the recipe, since many people authoritatively repeat what they heard from some authority somewhere. Or "X Y Z has been held up as so important, but I have been doing A B C and it seems fine to me." I’m not really managing to think of much here. I suppose it would be nice to have a way to communicate with the makers of videos and the viewers without having a Google account (since I don’t).

  • My biggest pet peeve is when videos are like "I have a cooking show! Discover me, riches and fame!"

    Which is to say, so many of them that I rarely even try to watch a cooking video today.

  • I accidentally went to www.reddthat.com today and thought you had unilaterally switched us all to Voyager.

    It was so painful that I was almost to the point of abandoning my account by the time I happened to follow a link that went to reddthat.com.

  • How long is the list of films you want to see but haven't yet?

    I'm sorry that perhaps isn't a very in-depth question, but I'm curious to know.

    What fonts are the most common on Linux today?

    For a long time, I’ve just put on DejaVu fonts and been done with it. Generally good enough Unicode coverage for me. But I know it’s been years since DejaVu’s been updated, and I wonder what’s very common today.

    [As for the terminal, I’m guessing it’s usually still the standard fixed Unicode fonts?]

    Getting a "Little Free Library" for my birthday:
  • There was one house that kept theirs well stocked with interesting things, but someone or someones with cars would come and steal everything out of it. The family gave up eventually in great sadness and gave the library to a neighbor. I haven’t seen any big sudden emptying-outs in quite a while, so maybe it was just one asshole who moved or went to jail for something or who knows what.

    One library was taken up as a home by wasps (and yet I could see through the window that the books kept changing, so they must have been somewhat docile wasps!), and one library got warped in rain and their books get moldy in the rainy season, so do keep paying attention to the condition of your library.

  • Some favorite nonfiction books from your childhood?

    Did many of you even have much nonfiction?

    When someone grows nostalgic about childhood books, they generally talk about fiction, but my fiction reading nearly all came from the library and had to go back, so I don’t remember it as clearly as the nonfiction in the bookcase that I’d flip through and look at the pictures and read some here and there.

    Getting a "Little Free Library" for my birthday:
  • The ones where I live tend to fill up on their own over time. Although I do like to redistribute between them when walking, which helps the process.

    If I had a Little Free Library, eventually I’d have to give real thought to what to do about books no one wants that have been clogging up the library for like a year, whether they go to the public library for their book sale or what.

    Dave Foley's "The True Meaning Of Christmas Specials" (2002)

    Dave Foley's "The True Meaning Of Christmas Specials" Christmas Special featuring Jason Priestly, Tom Green, Mike Myers, Dick Dale, Jann Arden, and El Vez & the Elvettes. 2002.

    DAVE FOLEY's "The True Meaning Of Christmas Specials" CHRISTMAS SPECIAL (2002)

    Warning: Not very good. But if you are determined to watch a Christmas special, August is the least obnoxious time of the year to do it.

    "The hour-long special was originally supposed to also air that same season Stateside on ABC Family, but the Disney-owned network balked when Foley refused to make changes to the script.

    "What really rankled Disney was Foley’s on-air suggestion near the end that Christmas isn’t about acquiring consumer goods or selling ad time. Echoes of the Grinch, who once observed that, 'Christmas doesn’t come from a store.'

    "'They said it would discourage shopping and be offensive to their corporate sponsors. What kind of a network gives their ad sales department veto power over what they buy or script approval? I’ve actually never been angrier in my professional life.'"
