I started lurking around here in 2011 or 2012 and it took years to get the courage to join the forum and almost a year to pick a name,

There were too many Grackles at lunch today, and they couldn't hear me in the drive thru while I was ordering.

I don't generally join a forum until all of the good names are taken. I lurked here for a few years (partly because of DF release schedule) before joining.

I returned here from Italy just before the travel restrictions took effect.

I've had a dry cough for a bit now.

I don't seem to have any other COVID or flu-like symptoms, though, and it's been more than 14 days.

My wife's been on a Disney kick lately.

While I'm not a fan of 2D Disney in any way, shape or form--Pixar was my favorite as a young'un--you have to admire how concise these movies are. There's not a single wasted moment in the original Lion King, Aladdin or Beauty and the Beast, whereas the live-action versions add so much runtime just dicking around and building up useless side characters.

Also, Belle's original voice, Paige O'Hara, sounds incredibly familiar. But as far as I can tell, she's only ever played Belle, besides a few minor roles in things I've never seen.

I fucking hate food websites.
All the ones I've come across in recent memory, they are packed with so much ridiculous bloat, from tips for sourcing ingredients to reviews of the recipe you haven't even seen yet amongst other meaningless blather - the one what inspired this rant treated me to a fuckin' paragraph on what a goddamn avocado is, ffs - presumably for the sole purpose of keeping you trapped in the purgatory of their poorly-designed website for as long as possible to maximise advertising dollars.   

Just about every time I google a recipe it leads to me feeling a fair bit of rage and a powerful urge to start my own bloody food website, stripped of all the unnecessary shite and just giving readers the recipe they want in as simple a format as possible, without them having to just about suffer an RSI scrolling down to the actual frickin' thing.   
Sometimes I feel similarly about journalism websites - just rip all the actual fucking content out of these ghastly websites and plonk it down somewhere else, to be perused more easily, free from all the auto-playing videos, paywalls and related article thumbnails that modern journalism decrees must be splashed all over your screen at every opportunity.

The only website I like.
(I guess really it's cookstr, which has alright recipe info, though their ingredients are sometimes bloated.)

From what I understand, a lot of the bloat on food sites has to do with search algorithm rankings. I don't fully understand SEO, but apparently writing a 1,000-word essay before the actual recipe is the way to get seen on Google.

My pepper grinder is a car.

My pepper grinder is a car.

does this mean you use your car to run over the peppercorn to grind it?

Nope!

It means my pepper grinder is made by Peugeot, a car manufacturer.

Ctrl +f and search for something that would only be listed in the actual recipe ie "tsp". Hope it helps in the future.

that just means they'll start making the recipe an image
