Please don't use url shorteners, this hides any information the url gives you about where it is taking you. Also most things on the internet support the concept of a link where the url is hidden behind friendly text but still inspectable without clicking by mousing over it.

Freshness is key. A lot of the taste / smell qualities that put off people who aren't big on fish increase rapidly with time. So make sure you buy your fish from a source you really trust to have fresh fish, keep it cold (put it on ice, even, on the way home from the store), and use it right away. Like, that very day if at all possible, or at least the next day.

Soaking it in water with some lemon juice can also reduce some of those flavors.

I also don't like many fish I think of as 'fishy' and salmon is not one of them, meaning I don't percieve it as fishy. So I think maybe not everyone means the same thing by 'fishy'.

That's nothing compared to the shartspork.

There are actually lots of photos on the web of crying children sitting on the laps of unintentionally scary mall easter bunnies. :^)

I never could get those magic eye pictures.

I can't speak for everyone, but I was taught that the Easter Bunny brought the eggs, not laid them. The mechanics were always left vague, but I imagined kind of a large anthropomorphic rabbit. He brought decorated hard boiled eggs and hid them for us to find, and a basket of candy.

Just imagine a furry breaking into your home in the middle of the night to leave gifts.

I looked up the word 'apotheosis' at etymonline.com, and it derived the word from the Greek 'apotheoun' which seems like it could be your word, just transliterated from the Greek differently.

I love this so much. When I first switched to Linux, being able to just list a bunch of server aliases along with the private key references in my .ssh/config made my life SO much easier then the redundantly maintained and hard to manage putty and winscp configurations in Windows.

Since OpenSSH version 9.0, so like mid '22. So as long as you're not running something more out of date than that.

I definitely don't feel like we live in a world where too much respect for others in public has become a problem.

Honestly, I couldn't tell if I would be annoyed by how they handled their children or not. They are certainly not an unbiased source, and they could either be exaggerating how wild their children are in public, or oblivious to how bad they are. One would have to see it in person to know.
