I'd agree with your general point on the overabundance of mediocre quality recipes, but the availability of quality literature isn't really in question to me. There are plenty of reliable sources that publish good cooking manuals that are widely available (even in used book stores). This is more a problem with consumers not using their own discretion or doing proper research, but also with people publishing shoddy excuses for recipes that do not appear to have been tested.

Joy of cooking was mentioned multiple times here. Are you alright? What is the problem? You are being really pushy about a topic you seem to have marginal knowledge of.

You obviously didn't read my comment. I prefer Joy of Cooking to Betty Crocker manuals, but both are written by teams of culinary professionals.

You have to be kidding. The culinary professionals who comprise the editorial staff of any edition of Joy of Cooking in fact know more about food than the average blogger. The recipes in Joy of Cooking are tried and true. I have seen too many recipes to count online that call for completely incorrect technique/equipmemt/etc. I have not once caught one of these types of errors in a reputable cookbook or professional culinary text. It is rare that one finds a good recipe online, though the internet can be usefup for gwtting ideas for flavor combinations, food pairings etc.

Huh? How does it protect my recipe if somebody takes just the recipe and sticks a different garbage story on the front end? Recipes as intellectual property is a stupid idea in the first place, but this seems like faulty logic here.

Professional chef of 20 years here. Old Betty Crocker cookbooks are absolutely essential in any kitchen library, and vary from year to year, so it is worth having several. Some of the best, most reliable recipes you will ever find will come from these sources. Your advice here is terrible. Don't give advice that you aren't qualified to.

As long as the recipes use standard measurements (i.e. no "knuckle of butter" type measurements) you are in great hands with Betty Crocker manuals and Joy of Cooking. Also, Julia Child and Jacques Pepìn are not from recent decades. It is difficult to overstate how terrible your advice here is.

Whoops, my mistake, but that book also sounds great.

That game is pro-war US military propaganda. Feed your brain better things. At least PUBG doesn't have a real world agenda.

This is wonderful. Would love to see the book someday. (It is titled I'm Here if anyone is curious but doesnt want to dig thru a bunch of kanji)

[random guy on street] tuxedo top hat guy = actual tuxedo top hat magician = david blaine. Any type of magician or perception thereof or association with the idea.

Edit: she is not particularly religious or superstitious either. Her relation to this fear is similar to that of anyone who is extremely uncomfortable/scared of clowns, just a different elememt of the circus.

This is awesome. My preference is "dungeon synth" and ambient/meditative noise type music. My current rotation includes Thangorodrim , Fog Weaver, Catherine Christer Hennix, and 令人愉快的金礦 (Agreeable Goldmines)

Probably less triggering at scale, but similarly to a lot of comments posted here, my mother is deathly afraid of magicians. I have seen the blood drain from her face as she grips the arms of her chair and looks around in a panic at the mention of magicians. I have witnessed full out panic attacks on encounters with real life magicians, and discomfort that one would only typically associate with watching "torture porn" or a particularly squirm-inducing Dr Pimple Popper when magicians appear on TV. Revulsion when learning that the actor Ricky Jay was more known for his work as a magician.

Conversely my mother had regular conversations with a woman who worked as a clown at a local restaurant, which caused her no displeasure.

That is so much work to go through when you could just buy an android instead of an iphone!

I don't see how this could possibly provide you any benefit besides some sort of glib satisfaction. You don't want to support apple but still give them money to use their devices.

Ah my mistake. Maybe the answer lies in combining podcast searches with filtering options within your app? I've recently started using filters on my searches in various applications/file systems/etc and it has really improved my UX across the board. Switching from "sort by relevance" to "newest first" might be the move. I've also had a bit of luck trying out podcasts outside of my normal areas of interest.

Good luck on your hunt.

This is discussed at length in this film:

Seemingly everywhere? When i search an existing podcast or even just a subject in my podcast app it typically suggests no less than 30 podcasts to me, most of which i have never heard of. I have found new ones that are quite good, as well as some stinkers and duds. Hard to believe it is that hard to find something vaguely interesting if you have used a modicum of effort.

I assumed there are multiple points being made by this, and implies things about different definitions of wealth.

But maybe my brain just rushed to defend poor logic.
