Removing the unecessary adjective “old” would be an obvious start.

But what is your audience and what do you hope to accomplish? Unless you really have an audience who is likely to accept that the people in leadership are lacking an important competence and the power to go around them to get something done, then I would assume that leadership is your audience. In which case the part that blames them is entirely unhelpful and you should stick to explaining the problem and needed changes.

“Peculiarities” has a much different connotation. I’ve used software which has had features that might have been better described as peculiarities.

It’s really hard to imagine when you are trying to learn. You just have to trust it will happen. You are basically training unconscious parts of your brain, and at some point all the hardness just vanishes and some unconscious part of your brain just magically does all the hard stuff for you without you thinking about it.

Sounds amazing!

Learn to improvise. Make something with what you have in the fridge so it doesn’t rot. You don’t need to plan every meal exactly.

I’d never heard of cecina before, but looking it up I think I’ve had things like it, and would definitely opt in, if it were offerred.

Fry up some bulk breakfast sausage, make a roux with the grease, add milk? Or do you anything different / have any tips?

Easy! Wear someone else’s.

Do we still say “name checks out” on Lemmy?

At least he didn’t have to play your character while everyone acts like nothing is different.

Goodness! I hope he didn’t get a papercut from those instructions.

That could just be part of the long game you’re playing! ;^)

With almost any soup you might consider too chunky to be drinkable, you could just cut the bits up finer. Maybe borscht.

You have a great partner.

I’d worry more about disappointing your future self than your parents.

Also don’t expect to do it well the first time. Skills take practice to develop. Practice with those tools before you apply them to expensive materials for the thing you really want to make.

how the warm work? does it have heating built in? or does it blend some mix from hot and cold water pipes? do you have to run it for a half minute to get the temperature right?

This. I think this person has just shown that it’s really important to set boundaries with them, and not worry if they like it.
