Maybe it is because I had already noted a Washington Post piece about “real” food people ignoring the Magnolia cookbook, but I found Grant McCracken’s piece about Martha Stewart doing the same so trenchant and also so sad. web.archive.org/web/20190…

I got to the cube rule via Andy Baio, who also linked to soup-salad-sandwich-space. It is my duty, however, to point out that to a real topologist, there are only four foods, not six.

I’ve no idea who this person thinks she’s fooling, but her stickered laptop amused me no end. 

Why should I be using mobile data to stream music to a $1000 phone when I can get an MP3 player for $26 that can hold 7000 songs on a micro SD card and has 80 hour battery life? The ethical and ecological impact of cheaply made products isn’t so great, but I think it’s at least worth being somewhat aware of the tradeoffs we’re making.So true. And the headphone can have a jack too, if that’s what you want.

Thanks for your thoughts Aaron. You raise an issue that hadn’t occurred to me: being able to eat things that you don’t get at home because nobody else likes those things. I do that when I’m eating out, even if I’m not alone, but yes, that works too.

Don’t do this! Just don’t. Autoplay ought to get you flayed alive.
