I seem to recall having worked out that it is about 15% of the cost of commercially made (which in my area is about $40/lb.) if you make it yourself even from the most expensive salmon.

It is a lot of oil, but I have to admit the presentation looks good.

For balance, I would serve this with a plate of bread for dipping.

No, that has been my experience, as well. I think it makes for an interesting sandwich bread, though.

This looks so good. Then again, I think mortadella is one of the underrated Italian meats.

This panzerotto is also interesting in light of the recent posts of Italian-American subs, and American sandwiches in general, that have been criticised for having too much meat. Give me the meat.

(Cue someone saying, 'technically a panzerotto is not a sandwich')

Watermelon is definitely a summer season/hot weather fruit common at American barbecues, but it is not specifically a thing to have it served on the same plate at the same time. Mostly people just pick up slices and eat them immediately, the melon slice never seeing the plate.

Of course not, but you are supposed to use a spackling trowel to smash the watermelon and release its foul juices before eating the rind, aren't you?

Like I said, history repeats itself.

If you don't think that Gen Z are navel gazers, allow me to present TikTok, r/imthemaincharacter, and look-at-me-ism.

I think Gen Z is comprised of a majority of good people, but there is a mega strain of narcissistic, self-righteous, attention whoring, and it is all laid out on social media.

This is basically my point. Ethics and morals tend to change incrementally. The idea that one generation holds the key to a moral evolution that will usher in an epoch of utopian social harmony is just painfully naive, and rolls around every 20-30 years or so. I have seen it twice in my lifetime already.

My parents thought their grandparents' generation's passing would solve the world's problems.

I thought the passing of my grandparents' generation would solve the world's problems.

Now Gen Z thinks the passing of my parents' generation will solve the world's problems.

Gen Z's children will think my generation's passing will solve the world's problems.

Gen Z's grandchildren will think Gen Z's passing will solve the world's problems.

And each of these generations think they are the pinnacle of moral enlightenment rather than a step on the ladder.

People forget, or never knew, that the Boomers were considered (and considered themselves) a highly progressive generation. They were the generation that basically started the broad acceptance of the civil rights movement, sexual liberation, women's lib, the anti-war movement, anti-capitalism in the West, and the first to really broadly support environmentalism.

They couldn't wait until the older generation that started two world wars, committed genocides, and dropped nuclear bombs on civilian cities died off.

The famous saying, "Don't trust anyone over 30." was a Boomer invention.

Does any of this sound familiar?The lack of knowledge of social history of just the preceding generation, not to mention past centuries, is either down to a failure of schools or supreme narcissism.

Said every generation ever.

The popularity of this fallacy is timeless. In 50 years the generation of teens and 20-something will be eager for the deaths of the unrepentantly backward, greedy and immoral Gen Z.

Not gonna lie, dolphins are kinda assholes.

Which is why kids over 12 months need to be vaccinated and parents who refuse to have their kids vaxxed should be culpable.

How could these clowns manage to break into this guy's gun safe and steal four guns, but they couldn't even succeed at removing the A/C unit?
