    I kind of suspect the people that don’t agree with you don’t cook often, at all, or are very amateur. It absolutely starts instructions at the top and LEAVES OUT those ingredients used for prep in the ingredient list. While this isn’t a big deal for this recipe (extra flour and butter) this can be annoying when actually making something that requires different ingredients during prep.

    Furthermore, I honestly don’t see how you could use this format for anything beyond the most basic of baking recipes. I tried to think my way through writing a recipe for potatoes fondant in this format, and my mind started to melt thinking about to convey technique at each step. I also struggle to see how it’s less complex to read than a traditional recipe format. Additionally, I fully agree that this recipe is going to result in misreading which ingredients go in each step, especially when you have to separately mix two separate sets of ingredients that are 10 or 11 columns out. It’s just making a fairly simple list of steps way more complicated than necessary.

    Maybe I’m missing something though. If someone has a more detailed explanation of how this style is supposed to work that would might be helpful. Otherwise it just seems sort of useless beyond cooking a box cake or a basic buttercream.


  • Extremely likely under any administration that this would still have been a voluntary recall. Voluntary recalls aren’t really optional as they will quickly turn into legal proceedings and a court ordered (mandatory) recall. It substaintially reduces the company’s legal risk and monetary risk to comply with a voluntary recall. There’s a lot more nuance but just from the wikipedia for the way different types of FDA recall strategies work:

    The manufacturers or distributors of the product carry out most recalls of products regulated by FDA voluntarily. In some instances, a company discovers that one of its products is defective and recalls it entirely on its own. In others, FDA informs a company of findings that one of its products is defective and suggests or requests a recall. Usually, the company will comply.

    If the firm does not recall the product, then FDA can seek legal action under the FD&C Act. These include seizure of available product, and/or injunction of the firm, including a court request for recall of the product.

    It’s a justification because he talks in AI word soup in real life. That’s the punchline in the comic. His defensive justification is that he sounds like an AI in his email because he just happens to sound like an AI all the time. There’s no rationalization required if he didn’t use AI to write emails and the justification for him sounding like AI in his emails is that actually sounds like AI all the time.



  • This is a silly thing to complain about unless you didn’t read the article. The price increase is specifically quoting a grocer who price per crate went up. The article itself gives you several direct proportional metrics:

    According to the latest Consumer Price Index, tomato prices have surged by approximately 40% over the past year

    MarginEdge, a firm tracking restaurant prices, reported that grape tomatoes saw a 65% increase in just one month, with prices rising across all tomato varieties.

    And finally the context of the title that you’re complaining about:

    Wayne Humphrey, chief operating officer of Snarf’s, which operates dozens of stores in Colorado, Missouri and Texas, said cases of tomatoes went from costing him $27 to $93 in the space of a year, piled on top of rising expenses for other ingredients including bread and beef, as well as increased labor costs.

    It’s such a non-issue in this article and the title encapsulates the problem that even the grocers are facing. But I guess you have to run to comments and complain about AmErIcAn MeAsUrEmEnTs when it’s vaguely relevant because this is lemmy.
