I remember liking ones from Europe, even if I didn’t understand the language at all, because someone would point the camera at their aunt or grandmother who would just go ahead and make the food in a straightforward fashion.

Beyond that, what would I want? It might be nice to hear about the experiences of having tried deviating from steps in the recipe, since many people authoritatively repeat what they heard from some authority somewhere. Or “X Y Z has been held up as so important, but I have been doing A B C and it seems fine to me.” I’m not really managing to think of much here. I suppose it would be nice to have a way to communicate with the makers of videos and the viewers without having a Google account (since I don’t).

My biggest pet peeve is when videos are like “I have a cooking show! Discover me, riches and fame!”

Which is to say, so many of them that I rarely even try to watch a cooking video today.

I accidentally went to www.reddthat.com today and thought you had unilaterally switched us all to Voyager.

It was so painful that I was almost to the point of abandoning my account by the time I happened to follow a link that went to reddthat.com.

And if you go just slightly older on Thinkpads, you get real keys.

Those covers with the white backgrounds are very inviting.

There was one house that kept theirs well stocked with interesting things, but someone or someones with cars would come and steal everything out of it. The family gave up eventually in great sadness and gave the library to a neighbor. I haven’t seen any big sudden emptying-outs in quite a while, so maybe it was just one asshole who moved or went to jail for something or who knows what.

One library was taken up as a home by wasps (and yet I could see through the window that the books kept changing, so they must have been somewhat docile wasps!), and one library got warped in rain and their books get moldy in the rainy season, so do keep paying attention to the condition of your library.

I suddenly realize what memories of the children’s section of the library I do have are 100% about fiction. They must have had at least a little nonfiction for kids, but…no memories.

The ones where I live tend to fill up on their own over time. Although I do like to redistribute between them when walking, which helps the process.

If I had a Little Free Library, eventually I’d have to give real thought to what to do about books no one wants that have been clogging up the library for like a year, whether they go to the public library for their book sale or what.
