Hey, you do you. I'm not one to say your tastes are wrong.
Is the tumeric for your golden milk, or your general spice preparation? I wouldn't normally think to put turmeric in my default list with salt and pepper, but I also wouldn't normally associate onion and garlic with tea or milk.

Me and lactose aren't friends, so my milk tends to be "oat flavored" and rarely as a straight beverage.

I dunno, I think salt adds about as much to meat as it does to veggies if you're cooking them.

I think the only fruit I put salt on is grapefruit though, after learning about how the sour grapefruit flavor is blocked on the tongue by salt.

I don't like meat substitutes because they're never even comparable.
I love plenty of foods that aren't meat, but the moment you try to replace meat you're destined to fail.

Best veggie burger I've ever had didn't even try to be beef. Did nice things with texture that were totally unmeat like. Closer to a Japanese croquette, but more beans.
Some of the worst have been the most similar. Tvp with ground mushrooms for umami and such.

Foods should be cooked in the ways that best show them off, not in ways that invite a comparison to a different food.
It's like trying to use meat to make a banana free banana bread. Just... Don't.

It's like you only read one phrase out of context.

It's a completely ridiculous position.

That some food is better with minimal seasoning?
That the amount of seasoning you put on a food is somehow related to the nature of the ingredients?

I season my food, which is delicious btw

I'm glad! I never said you shouldn't. I said some ingredients don't need it as much, or are better enjoyed with minimal seasoning.

and so does the rest of the world outside of northern Europe.

I'll remember that the next time I eat sushi.

The classism came from the aristocracy making a display of wealth by choosing to ostentatiously eat the foods that benefit from less seasoning, and casting the others as "low class".
That doesn't make the method of preparation a relic of classism. It's classist to say that a pot roast is low class, not to say a ribeye doesn't need much to be delicious.

Modern British food has a reputation as being unseasoned because we don't call any of the seasoned dishes born of their empire "British", and a lot of the other stuff got messed up by "island nation in a major war with prolonged food rationing".

Remember that the flip side of the aristocracy avoiding seasoning to distinguish themselves is that everyone else didn't.

Your statement ignores the meaning of AI or the decades of work that have gone into the field.

They're not sentient. They're not sapient. They're not conscious, nor do they have feelings, volition, desire, or anything that can be described as an internal life. They can't even think in they sense that anyone means by it.

None of those things are intelligence though.

An LLM posesses the ability to respond to external stimuli in a way that is meaningful. They also have the ability to learn, which is the act of a system transforming information or stimuli in a way that is applied to later stimuli.

My air conditioner learns and is intelligent. It measures the environment, takes actions based on that stimulus, and when I make adjustments it records when I like different settings and applies that to the temperatures it's recorded in the past to adjust early. An LLM may be more sophisticated than my air conditioner but it's in the same category.

The mistake is thinking that AI in the real world is what AI is on TV.

You're both going to massive extremes.

Some meats when prepared well benefit from minimal seasoning. Beef when cooked well doesn't need more than salt, but some pepper and butter basting also brings the flavor forward.
If you need steak sauce, ketchup or anything like that it's a sign you've likely not cooked it the best.

Chicken however just doesn't have as much to it, so you'll hit a flavor ceiling a bit faster.

It's not classism, it's fat content and connective tissue. Less fat and there's less potential "unseasoned yum". More connective tissue and you need to cook it longer to make it not a chewy horror, which makes the fat come out.

High quality cuts of meat require less seasoning because we define meat quality by the factors that make it more palatable without seasoning.

It's not about not seasoning food, it's about seasoning it correctly for what you have. Big hunk of fatty meat with connective tissue? Perfect for stew because it sits in it's own fat, and cooking for a long time in water turns the connective tissue into gelatin.

In the description of the law, how is that meaningfully different from promising tax policy changes?

It's not telling people to vote, not vote, or to vote for anyone in particular, and is just a notification of something they'll do if elected.
The implication is that you should vote for them, but you didn't make the offer conditional.

Bribery is easier if you're using other people's money because rather than paying people to do what you want you can make a blanket promise to everyone and let them work through the implications.

(I was responding with tongue firmly in my cheek, and I laughed out loud because I actually can't think of why weight is a bad pricing model, beyond it obviously being not what you use. Hence "bushel of babies")

:)

Look, I never claimed to be a genius. You can't just go asking people questions like that and expect them to know.
I just know that childcare for a bushel of babies shouldn't be the same as for an individual seven year old.

It's funny to put major in quotes. If you look at shipping volumes then USPS is really the only major carrier. Since they have to deliver everywhere they deliver something like 120 billion things a year, where the second is like...7 billion.

I honestly think it's kinda sweet how it worked to be honest.
People showed up, gave their kid postage, and told the clerk they were mailing them. Clerk was confused for a minute, and then conceded that there was nothing technically forbidden about that. Kid hops on the scale, postage is correct, and the kid waits behind the counter until the trip to train, where they ride with the operator.

Basically people gently gaming the system and the people involved saying "you're technically correct" and then looking after a random child.
They only stopped it because they decided you can't operate a train and keep a kid safe at the same time, and weight is not a great way to price childcare.

Right? Close enough that it changes depending on territorial water claims and disputes.
