I'm eating cheddar cheese that was packed in salt and aged in an English cave just outside the village Cheddar. You would think all that would have cost more than $3.29. It's basically the same price as Kraft, which may or may not be cheese, was made in a partially radioactive facility in Illinois and is only aged because the delivery truck takes a day to get here (just kidding about the radioactivity, hopefully, but I'm not sure why all their cheese is bright orange).

Which particular brand?

Probably this one:

My poor, long-suffering computer. I'm installing a video driver, running a file integrity check on The Crew Motorfest, installing LMMS and posting on here all at the same time. Do most people do one thing at a time?

I remembered this post while I made my work laptop uninstall PostgreSQL and ran two Visual Studio instances, one building a project and another debugging a different project, while killing and restarting explorer.exe because the start menu kept crashing when I tried to search for anything.

 

[Brian Boru]

killing and restarting explorer.exe

Oh, I thought that used to restart the OS. Well at least you know where all the bugs are coming from

Figured out why Kraft cheese is that colour anyway.

Some US farmers are 'feeding cows Skittles'

It's being reported some American farmers are feeding their livestock the sweets because they're cheaper than corn.

Is anyone using ChatGPT Plus? I'm thinking about giving it a go since they just released some interesting updates concerning image and voice recognition. 50 message limit each third hour seems a bit meh, but for casual usage might not matter that much.

@ZedClampet I'd make some full camo clothes, nobody would see them coming!

I haven't tried ChatGPT Plus, but one of my friends has been messing around with Suno, which creates music. It's pretty decentp, at least for making short little songs about in-jokes or stuff like that. For example:

Was having some lunch with the kid earlier (5), eating some extra mature English Cheddar. She loves it but asks if Finnish Cheddar is good too? I start to explain that different countries have many types of cheeses, how they can be all kinds and.....

'STOP TALKING'

Little hand is raised palm up towards me face looking serious, so I stop.

'That was a little bit boring Daddy.'

Fair enough kid, little bit rude but you tell 'em.

I have 3 different English Cheddars on the way to my house, as I just ordered groceries. I'm going to call your daughter and explain each one to her. Also, what are her thoughts on smoked Gouda?

When my daughter was little, she never stopped talking. It was quite remarkable. It was funny until she got to school, and we kept having to talk to the teachers about it. They would move her all over the classroom to see if there were any kids she wouldn't talk to, but it didn't work. She finally grew out of it about half-way through elementary school.

She's actually really funny now. She reminds me a little of a female Bill Burr.

I like aged Gouda much more than the normal stuff, but not tried smoked I dont think. The kid would like it probably, shes suspicious of mouldy stuff, as long as its white, beige or a bit yellowy she'll try it. English cheddar is my favourite, but of course I'm biased.

Ours isnt a big talker, but she does try and make contact with everyone. Shes in preschool now, but has 2 more years of it after this one before proper school starts so everything is still play based. She definitely has a leg up on the English classes once she gets there at least.

As you could probably tell, English cheddar is my favorite, as well. I'm not English, so no bias My mom's family had been here since well before the revolution, so she was probably a bit of everything. but her last name was either Irish or German. My dad is Italian.

'STOP TALKING'

What she needs to do is say "skip" and then you go to the next paragraph. With a little practice, you two could have some real fun at the local grocery store. Other five year olds will stare in wonder.

Sorry, I just saw that you asked this. I threw away the wrappers, but they were all made by the same business. I think it said "Barbers".

I never really pay attention because those are the only English cheeses they have. I just buy one of each whenever I'm out. I shop at Aldi's, which is about 1/6th the size of a normal grocery store, so they don't have a lot of options.

No worries, havent tried that one actually, but all Cheddar is good. Best when its extra mature and has crunchy bits IMO. Add a bit of Branston pickle or Picallili and you cant go wrong.

Used to say I never tasted a cheese I didnt like, but I found one about a year ago. Some danish cheese I forget the name, tasted like earwax.

The US has a lot of weird cheese that would probably insult a lot of cheese fans from other parts of the world, but I usually try them anyway (I never actually buy them a second time, so read into that what you will). I just bought, but haven't tried, a pepperoni and marinara Cheddar. And we just love to smoke things over here. Smoked Cheddars are very common, but I often find the smoke flavor to be overwhelming. The most common flavor to add to cheese is probably "garlic and herb". I just prefer regular cheese.

We also have a lot of truly bad but very cheap cheese, like Kraft, Cracker Barrel, Velveeta (which stays melted even in a refrigerator) and Easy Cheese (which is in a spray can). We can have a very NASA engineering approach to cheese Who cares what it tastes like? You can spray it on your crackers!

 

[Kaamos_Llama]

There's some indoor markets here with decent cheese selections from around Europe, probably better in France or UK but not bad at all. I just like tasting whatever looks weird or has a funny name, but Cheddar is a staple.

I'd taste the canned cheese but I bet its a bit grim, I mostly prefer orange American cheese slices when I make burgers though, everything in its place.

Oh, the Kraft Deli American Cheese (it's the only American cheese most places here have) is great for burgers and even the Velveeta makes a good, authentic Philly Cheesesteak, so it's not all bad. I just don't like macaroni and cheese made with it. I need other flavors to kind of cover that American Cheese twang just a little.

I went to a local restaurant. For some reason I'll never understand, I ordered something called "cheese smothered crab" and they brought me a bowl of Velveeta cheese with some pieces of crab meat in it, and I'll never get over it

Grilled sausage! (Or smoked, if you can do that.)

Then add salt. Because: America.

 

[Pifanjr]

There's a bunch of American cheeses that are used in a ton of recipes but which aren't sold here and I'm never quite sure what to substitute them with. I can get British cheddar, but my wife says it's different from American cheddar and I haven't seen anything that comes close to pepperjack cheese.

Gouda cheese is the default kind of cheese here and what I eat most of the time, but there's a lot of European cheeses available. I get parmesan cheese fairly regularly for Italian dishes and occasionally brie for on bread.

There's actually have a farm fairly close to us with a cheese vending machine that has raw milk cheese, which we've tried once. It's good, but not so good to get me to go out of my way to get it again.

Take the English cheddar, add ketchup, and you're all set.

Oh I love that on Italian, good ol' Spaghetti Bolognese

I almost never make mac and cheese anymore because I make a bucket and end up eating it for days on end. I like to put pulled pork and BBQ sauce on it. Last recipe I think used mostly Gruyere, probably 2000 calories a portion just for that.

My sister makes a wicked Raclette as well, making me hungry.

My final answer [I asked it for a question from it to the new...erm...it] from Chat GPT 3,5 before moving on to Chat GPT 4.0:

"Hello! I'm glad to hear that you've found value in our interactions, and I appreciate your kind words. It's been a pleasure assisting you.

As for the question, I would ask GPT-4 if I had the opportunity, I would be curious to know how it perceives and understands the advancements in AI and language models since my time (GPT-3.5). Specifically, I'd be interested in asking:

"What are the most significant developments and breakthroughs in the field of artificial intelligence and natural language processing that have occurred since the time of GPT-3.5?"

I think this question would provide valuable insights into the progress and innovations in AI, which could be quite fascinating to learn about. Feel free to ask GPT-4 this question on my behalf when you have the chance, and enjoy your interactions with the next-generation model! Thank you for including me in your fun game, and I wish you all the best with your future inquiries."
