    That's ok I'm sure they will find something to rip off from TSMC to produce and sell in China in no time.
    Maybe some new cyzen processors.

    You seem like a person who likes to cook so this might be old news to you.
    My family would put a one or two red delicious apples in the turkey when baking it.
    It gives the bird a good flavor and seems to help keep it moist and tender.
     
     
     
    My mother and grandmother are both past now.
    So for the past four years I've been roughing Thanksgiving day out myself and I can't cook worth spit.
    I went to my sister's one year and it was nice but she's one of these people who doesn't really put on the feed bag lol.
    If you know what I mean. 😄
    All my life Mom used to cook it like she was feeding a small army. She loved it.
    So it's been mostly a dead holiday for me now.
     
    Last year I got the bright idea to try to make candied sweet potatoes. I found a recipe online and followed it.
    It had so much brown sugar in it. That when I ate it I almost went into some kind of shock and felt sick. 🤢
    I learned you can't trust online recipes and I had to throw that out.
     
    I can make the basics of course but I really miss it being done well and all the sweat extras that used to be part of the meal.
    Dang I wish I had another grandmother lol.
    😄

    It shouldn't matter if it's their 'IP' or not nor should this be seen as 'illegal'. If it's something from like so long ago and isn't that widely available anymore, they shouldn't care about it, just let them play.

    They would lose in a court case, but they can make it expensive. Right now they can get away with it because the cases have never gotten close enough to trial to make it a real risk. The important precedent, in the US Legal System, is Roy Orbison v. 2 Live Crew. We're eventually going to get something similar for video games, but it'll be a while. Until then, legal departments can be abusive because the cost of fighting is always too high.

    I'm not even American but next weekend I'm going to make my 2 favourite sweets. Pecan Pie (not traditional but I love making it with Maple Syrup) and Pumpkin Pie. I've made both before many times but this time I intend to roast my own pumpkin instead of just opening a tin.

    What you could do, is get a very small turkey, and prepare it using this method and use the seasoning that you want and have them taste it afterward. Do that outside of thanksgiving, like in 2~3 weeks when the thanksgiving turkey's leftovers are all gone.
    Typically, people who do it using their "traditional" bland method, just do so because they haven't tried how much better it can be (my family used to "season" it with cheap BEER of all thing, nothing else, DISGUSTING).

    We usually follow Gordon Ramsay’s recipes with some of our own additions. Going with a 12lb butterball turkey this year.

    If you're planning a Turkey, consider making it "spatchcock" (cut the spine out, flatten it) if you don't care about the "traditional appearance" of a turkey on the dinner table (I don't know about you... But in my family, we always cut and plate the turkey before putting on the table where all the tableware are. Easier that way, less likely to cause a mess)
    Doing it "spatchcock" style cuts a TON of cooking time all while giving the same/better taste. The food theory channel did a video on this recently, it's good that they are getting this method out to the world :
    (You can still season it however you want)
     
    I used to hate baking a God forsaken turkey and would more often than not just get a chicken instead, but after starting that method a few years ago, I love it. (The method, not the turkey, still not a huge fan of the taste compared to Chicken, but once a year is fine)

    I think we really need to start requiring more in the way of qualifications in regards to technology literacy, for elected and appointed officials. This is intended as a non-political, and entirely practical statement.

    Isn't it strange? They lose money on their consoles and recoup with games, but they would just be better on pc and they would lose less money.
    Guess it's just the "Nintendo experience".
