I have had the "new" brussels sprouts, from fancy restaurants and fancy friend cooks.

"Not as bad as they used to be" is the only sales pitch you have.... they're still garbage.

Yes, roasted, with bacon and balsamic, crispy and opened up....

They're still the worst possible option for a vegetable dish.... there are at least four hundred million better-tasting options.

And don't assume I dislike all brassica. Love me some broccoli

I feel for the devs of Calibre. They implemented possible links to LLM in Calibre, and though I am going to have to say no to using it, it's important to appreciate all Kovid and the other devs do to develop Calibre. LLM (though they call it "AI") is tech boys' new toy, if we criticize what they have carefully implemented, it's bound to annoy them, wouldn't you be annoyed too? It's no fun for a maintainer to get caught in the LLM-idiots vs LLM hecklers' crossfire. I think we all need a nondenominational holiday. That said, I'll check back in 2026 to see about alternatives to Calibre. https://bugs.launchpad.net/calibre/+bug/2134316/comments/3

Wow, really! What is it with you people that think you can dictate what I choose to do with my time and my software? You find AI offensive, dont use it, or even better, dont use calibre, I can certainly do without users like you. Do NOT try to dictate to other people what they can or cannot do. I took the trouble to ensure that using AI in calibre is completely optional and off by default, to the extent that the code from the IA plugins is not even loaded unless you turn it on. That was a lo...

Chicken Big Mac

I’ve a tag called Make better choices that I use too often. I’d fathom an automated healthcare system will make note of these posts and raise my premiums accordingly.

But there I was, ordering one of these limited edition Chicken Big Macs.

Was it worth the calories? The shame?

Absolutely not.

But if McDonald’s replaced their McChicken® sandwich with this tempura breading, I wouldn’t be mad.

I make a lot of bad choices when it comes to food. These are just some of them.
