    IMO the ideal thing to do for hamburgers, mac and cheese, and grilled cheeses (the three foods that I would consider using American cheese for) is this:

    Half american cheese for meltiness, half gruyere or other aged flavorful cheese for flavor.

    A lot of modern recipes suggest that approach and it has worked well for me.






  • This is just about possible in NYC if you 1) work in a high-rise by a station 2) commute during peak times with frequent trains 3) live in a high-rise by a station.

    For example: Downtown Brooklyn or Exchange Place high-rise <=> WTC.

    The other option would be to live within walking distance. A <20 minute walking distance to a downtown or midtown office is reasonable.












  • I hate the capslock thing. I sometimes feel like I’m the only person who regularly uses capslock (for C macro names and SQL when programming, but also for typing acronyms).

    I don’t mind the function key thing. Even from memory I can say that in a browser F5 = refresh and F11 = fullscreen. But kids probably are less likely to know those these days so a label could be helpful.






  • Oh, the non-citizen voting stuff. Yeah, that’s kinda weird. It does seem like every instance so far has been for local or specifically school-board elections. Ballotpedia has a comprehensive article on it: https://ballotpedia.org/Laws_permitting_noncitizens_to_vote_in_the_United_States

    I think my personal viewpoint is as follows:

    1. It is probably reasonable for legal resident aliens who have lived in a school district for 30 days and who have a child in the public school system to vote in school board elections.

    2. I don’t know what to think about legal resident aliens being able to vote in local municipal elections. I live in NYC (which attempted to enable this option, but it was struck down in court as violating the state constitution) and this would significantly alter the voting landscape of the city. I’ll have to think about it more.

    3. I don’t think that undocumented resident aliens should be able to vote in any elections.

    4. I don’t think that legal or undocumented resident aliens should be able to vote in state elections.

    And of course the right to vote in federal elections has been explicitly reserved to US citizens by congress.
