In S5E3, the pie looks exactly like a Poorman's Pie I made recently using a recipe from Baking Yesteryear by @bdylanhollis
The simple ingredients make sense for the environment and time period. Not many ingredients available, very simple prep, etc.

@pitdesi Coward. I want only one timezone for the whole country. And it cheats no one out of daylight. Daylight doesn't care what your clock says. Businesses could still operate on whatever schedule they want, and many would no longer be 8-5, but who cares?

Instead of changing clocks twice a year, what if we fixed time zones altogether?
The continental US should only have two time zones!
fix by:
• Merging PT & MT (move PT forward 1 hr)
• Merging ET & CT (move ET back 1 hr)
The east and west coasts would be just one hour apart. We'd pretty much eliminate jet lag within the US. Teams could work together more easily. The whole country would have more shared hours of daylight and collaboration.
Time zones were created for coordination and commerce. Until 1883, every city in the US had its own local time based on the sun. Then railroads came along and it was chaos... so the railroads standardized to four zones. Some cities still didn't follow this so congress passed the standard time act in 1918.
We’re far more integrated now. So much of our work, trade, and communication happens in real time across coasts. The logic that gave us four time zones no longer fits how we actually live... on the internet!
Downside: it would cheat some people out of a little bit of daylight. But actually not much, since we're used to it with daylight savings time anyway... and far bigger places are on one time zone. Alaska was 4 time zones and moved to 1, all of China is 1 time zone, etc.
Railroads reshaped time 100 years ago and the internet should do it again!

In-home humanoid robots will be the 2nd major societal shift I think I'll see in the remainder of my life. The first will be self-driving cars. $20k seems like a lot, but for full-time in home care, that will be a bargain for many people. 1x.tech/order #1xneo #1x

@chinbeard I love this. People forget you can just buy stuff and modify it however you want!

My Pip-Boy kit came with a fake speaker display, but I wanted a real speaker that would connect to my phone. #fallout

Thanks @alyankovic for signing my CD last night. It was the first CD I ever bought. Teenage me would be thrilled, with this and the concert last night.

Just saw these last week, pretty crazy they are coming down. Very curious as to what will replace them, as they seem like a perfect match for the space.

Hey @imbrettcooper I saw you're coming to Addison in June, if you need some local recommendations, let me know!

Tax time million dollar idea: Sue @HRBlock for not suggesting all the deductions you're allowed, in spite of their advertising saying they do. I live in a state without state income tax, but they never suggest the state & local tax deduction. Who knows how many people miss it.

@DARTAlerts Yay! Now prioritize the Addison->DFW section and get it operational ASAP!

@elonmusk Not true! I worked with a system years ago that exported their data into a file format that used 5 digits for the year!
