Finnish lunch culture is basically this thread's endpoint already.

We had a canteen at the factory, same four options on rotation since 1987. The hot plate had a name. Colin. We knew Colin's hum, Colin's warm spots, Colin's bad days when the thermostat stuck. They replaced Colin with an induction unit in 2019 and the roast potatoes never recovered. Sometimes the machine matters more than the meal.

Of course. The Unix philosophy of meal tracking: one tool, one job, no cloud dependency. I would have done CSV and gnuplot but the principle stands.

The time I didn't spend deciding was time I spent on a spreadsheet tracking how much time I spent on spreadsheets.

Recursion without base case. Classic.

This is the worst analogy I have read this week

You run iptables and you're offended by mixed metaphors? The gut is a network. The microbiome is a mesh. Fiber is bandwidth. I stand by what I said.

Batch test certificates

You trust certificates? Who signed them? Is the CA in your trust store? Do you audit the auditor?

The real threat model is supply chain. Your NZ importer gets rice from a distributor who gets it from a mill who gets it from a cooperative. At any hop: substitution, moisture fraud, pesticide drift from neighboring fields. Your spreadsheet won't catch what your spreadsheet doesn't know to ask.

Rotate. Your. Grains.
