I like to make half with paprika and half with diced chives, around Christmastime. I think that's the only valid reason to not put paprika on them.

I might get some hate because I use spanish smoked paprika instead of the hungarian variety.

I've never even thought to buy pre-made deviled eggs. Never even seen them for sale, for that matter.

I might buy pre-boiled eggs in a pinch, though.

I try to keep it down to three

Three eggs ... meaning six halves, right?

Huh, interesting to know. Ninth grade me didn't give a shit about things like that.

The Apple II was the first microcomputer that combined color graphics with internal expandability

The first computer I ever used (not counting punch cards or the VIC-20) was an Apple IIe, and I can confidently say that color was green. Later versions of the Apple II had full color, but that wasn't "innovation" by Steve Jobs, it was just the technology for it becoming affordable.

I think it's more like you get added to a thousand new lists if you unsubscribe. "Oh hey this email address is actually active!"

Where I live (relatively upscale Philly suburb) the absolute magnitudes of the assessments are irrelevant -- all that matters is what your assessment is relative to everybody else. For example, my house is assessed at $93K, but I bought it three years ago for $142K and its current sale estimate is about $215K. Everybody's assessment is way below market value, but what happens is the school board decides what their budget is going to be every year and then they set the millage rate to whatever it needs to be in order to generate that much property tax revenue (the school tax is about 85% of our total property taxes). So it doesn't really matter how up-to-date the assessments are since it won't affect your tax bill.

If you're buying up derelict properties, renovating them, and then selling them, you should get an exemption from property taxes entirely. Many communities already offer such exemptions, and even if they don't, you're getting a de facto exemption as it is because the houses aren't worth shit until you fix them up.

I tried them a couple of weeks ago for the first time. A burger each for me and my mom and we split one order of fries and we each got a fountain drink. $44, so two orders of fries would have taken us over the $50 line. And the food was absolutely nothing special, although it was at least a small step up from McDonald's. For bonus points, my dementia-riddled brain couldn't figure out how to use the soda dispenser machine.

They still give you tons of fries, at least they do at my local place. Unfortunately, for me it meant so much grease that my bag ripped at the bottom as I was walking into my house.

the average person isn’t using AI for anything important

You're discounting all the students who are using AI to make it seem like they're learning something.

Eh, it was just BASIC combined with the best (by far) visual forms editor available at the time.
