When eating scrambled eggs, have you ever thought "tastes like chicken?"

I also never ate chicken and thought it tasted like scrambled eggs.
Althoughiguana does taste like chicken.

 I am still trying to process what you typed....

The reptile known as an iguana tastes like chicken.
There's a space missing between "although" and "iguana".
Had to check thrice myself before I got it, especially since iguana's don't live where I live and I didn't know you could eat them

Chicken of today tastes like whatever spice they have been spiced with.
They are simply not able to develop that distinctive taste of hen of the old days, in the six short weeks they are allowed to live. You may praise the tenderness of the meat, and most certainly the amount of it per chicken. A hen giving you three hundred eggs before being slaughtered will give you far less meat, and require longer cooking, but it will give you a lot more taste. And definitely if that hen has been allowed to roam around in the green grass and being fed more or less unprocessed fodder, rather than no-taste soy pellets from Chile.
At least here in Norway, turkey factoring hasn't gone quite as crazy with super-fast growth; the meat still has a distinct taste of bird, and you can enjoy it without covering it with spices. (Well, a little garlic is nice to support that taste of bird, though ...)
In Norwegian, there is a way of speech: "This is taking the taste of a bird!", meaning "This seems to turn into something really great". The expression is certainly not based on the 'taste' of modern chicken.

I wouldn't know, haven't eaten chicken in 24 years

Same here, not many iguanas in the American South, but there are anodes, which are like mini iguanas with the crests on their heads.

You Man - Birdcage[^]
This SOTW is actually last week's recommendation by @David-ONeil, so thanks, David!
Didn't know You Man, but they're two DJ's from France who used to party in Belgium.
Their genres and influences are mostly new to me... "their new EP embracing everything from dark disco to muscular EBM, euphoric trance to Konnakol, a percussive vocal effect used in Southern Indian Carnatic music, and even Di Falco’s background as a trained psychologist and hypnotherapist."
So there's that, but in short I can say it's just a great (minimal) dance track
Other than that not much to mention, except great track, been listening to it daily

This is one of my go-to tracks for coding. it's basically a really long mix of b-sides from Aesop Rock that never made it on to his actual albums. he's a rapper (more of a poet really because of his lyrics - largest performance vocab of any artist of any genre AFAIK) but he doesn't put lyrics in this so it doesn't distract while coding.

It can be beautiful when he wants it to be
We them cats talking noise behind that New York trash heap
Where the stench of commuter briefcase replaces a bad sleep
And it's, worker zig-zagers versus piggy badge flashers
Training Generation Fallout
Waterfall bricklayer pincushion crawl out
There's smoke in my iris
But I painted a sunny day on the insides of my eyelids
So I'm ready now (What you ready for?)
I'm ready for life in this city
And my wings have grown almost enough to lift me
I'm a dinosaur with Jones Beach in my hourglass
Passing the time with serial killer coloringbooks and bags of marbles
Don't tell me you ain't the droid that held the match to the charcoals
Don't tell me Lucifer and God don't carpool
(This is our school)
I'm not trying to graduate to life at the personalized barstool
Head in a jar on the desk, feet dangling in a shark pool
(Man please) Man please
My name stands for my being
And my being stands for the woman who stood
And braved the storm to raise the seedling
(Brother, sun, sister, moon, mother beautiful)
Yeah middle sibling suitable but far from son of excellence
Beckoned a long time ago, I was to way the wishes wish
But missers miss, I slept through my appointment
Saw the liquid dreams of a thousand babies solidify
And picked the rose that wilted
The second I introduced myself as Nervous
Well it appears the scars of learning have spoken
Some are burning, some have frozen
Some deserve tall tales, some wrote them
Some are just a brutal repercussion of devotion
Mine are all of the above cuz everything leads to erosion
Now where I live there's a homeless man, he sits upon a crate
He makes a rusty trumpet sound like the music that angels make
Now if you ever come and visit me, I suggest you watch the show
Tell him Aesop Rock sent ya just to hear his horn blow like this

That's a good one to play with a group of friends, "Guess the Pop Culture" scene. Some of them I saw were The Simpsons, Max Headroom, Pink Floyd & Gandalf.
Similarly, I used to show Johnny Cash - God's Gonna Cut You Down (Official Music Video) - YouTube[^] to friends and then (without Googling) get everyone to try and identify who's who in the clip. And I like the song.

Tiffani Thiessen from Saved By The Bell, Ronald McDonald, Bill Murray, Superman, Heath Ledger as the Joker, Donnie Darko, The Shining, Alice in Wonderland, Pikachu, Gravity Falls... Plenty of stuff in there

Nice one too!
I don't know that many celebrities, but I recognized Kanye West, Jay-Z, Johnny Depp, Amy from Evanescence, Chris Rock, Woody Harrelson, Bono I think, ZZ Top guy, Bill from Kill Bill (David Carradine(?)), and did I see the doc from Back to the Future flashing by at 2:23?

I'm now going like "I knew I recognized that guy!"
Travis Barker, Flea, Iggy Pop, Kid Rock, Whoopi Goldberg...
Somehow completely missed Justin Timberlake and Owen Wilson.
And I mistook Keith Richards for David Carradine
Still not sure who the doc is.
Fun fact, the ZZ Top drummer is the only band member without a beard, but his name is Frank Beard

Did not know. We should tell Alanis Morissette so she understands irony.

The real irony is she'd not see the irony

One of the things I do for "fun"? is develop mods for Fallout 4. For those of you that don't know, mods allow you to modify virtually every aspect of the game. It even has its own scripting engine for adding your own effects and quests and such to the game.
Well, you pretty much have to use their development tool + the game itself to develop and test a mod. Luckily I can at least use VS Code for the scripting part.
The problem is their tool, "The Creation Kit" is just laborious to use even if you hack it with executable injection to fix the numerous issues with it, and having to use the game to test makes turnaround time pretty lengthy.
They claim they developed the whole game with this tool, but it's very difficult to believe given how much effort it takes to create even a little bit of content. You can't type most of it. You have to click your way through endless forms in an app that looks like an old VB app for editing database records.
If it wasn't so much effort I'd make a language for these records so you could type them out. I kinda wonder if the devs at Bethesda don't have something like that up their sleeve. I just can't imagine putting in that much content, that slowly with that tool.

Is there any way to roll your own mod editor?

Like I said, for this tool there's so much there that the effort involved is just ridiculous. I probably could have been more clear. Otherwise, I'd consider it.
