That seems like a totally legit use of instant mashed. I just feel like I’ve never known anyone to make “mashed potatoes” from instant (maybe as a backpacking thing). Maybe there are people out there that are overthinking mashed? Super easy if you do just a few things right.

I was enjoying 1Password until they went completely subscription, so I switched to Strongbox (based on Keepass) and it’s been pretty good. DB stored locally and I use my own tools to sync that vault to my other devices.

TIL that people actually buy boxed mashed.

Flying LA to Paris as a kid - took us nearly 2 days to get there. Layover in DC, weather delay, puddle jumper to New York, long delay there waiting for the new plane, followed by the long flight to Paris. Lucked out that the plane was half empty and I recall stretching out across 3 seats in the middle and sleeping the whole flight.

Not sure I could pull exact episodes out of memory, but I always enjoyed the sections of the show where they were watching music videos (didn’t find the actual plot-focused stuff as fun). I feel like them sitting and talking trash about music videos gets their vibe best.
