A pet peeve I have is that we all have been brain-washed into an unthinking assumption that “modern” is better.

Whenever we find ourselves using “modern” as an adjective carrying the implication of “better” we should ask ourselves what details exactly are we referring to, and what makes them better? A lot of times these are just fashion, just stylistic fads. And those selling is us shit really love us to buy into that mentality so they can sell us “upgrades” or new shit.

You can find most owners manuals PDFed online. At least for appliances, electronics, etc. I’ve never looked for an auto one…

Egg salad and deviled eggs are very adjacent. Anything that works in one, can work in the other.

Green olives are excellent in egg salad. To my taste, egg salad needs something to keep it from being bland: Dijon mustard, hot sauce, olives, salami are all options that work well.

I am from the US but have no reason to think any of them are common here. Olives and salami are ideas I got from The Charlie Brown Lunchbag Cookbook that I picked up from the bookmobile as a kid. It had a ton of surprisingly adventurous sandwich recipes.

All you people saying “no way” should try it. Unless you are barbarians with no taste for olives.
