We need this but for books. These days it is impossible to buy any programming related book that is not a bootleg copy.

AmazonBrandFilter dev here. Yeah. I don't know. I don't love that they're just ripping the list like that, I wouldn't mind as much if they at least helped contribute to the list. That is far and away the hardest part of this thing. But it is what it is, I'll be more peeved if they monetize it (which I'm unsure if they're doing). Maybe I should put one of those buy me a coffee links on the repo, I'd probably be better…
Can we get a Safari version?
If you're able and willing, create an issue on the addon repo: https://github.com/chris-mosley/AmazonBrandFilter/issues
And I'll build a version for safari for you to test.

> This is an example: https://www.amazon.com/MiiKARE-Universal-Rotating-Adjustable ... i wonder if it would be faster to 3d print that gadget than amazon prime it
3D printing is more a practice than it is a way to quickly create one off objects. I think certainly if your machine is dialed in and not malfunctioning in some way then it will be cheaper and faster to print than to buy this.
We use the 3d printer explicitly for the one-off object scenario.

Make your burrito or bowl at home, and it'll cost $4 or less.
Do you enjoy eating just rice wrapped in a tortilla or something? Burritos are a harsh illustration of the economy of scale. Doing a quick tally with sale prices, and I'd think buying all the ingredients to make one single burrito would be upwards of $20-25, at least. Never mind the time to cook each ingredient that needs to be cooked. And most of these supplies and prep are going to last what, ~4 days before they sp…
Sort of yes?
But with those ingredients costing $20-25 you would be able to afford to make how many burritos?
There's no way your purchases wind up being $20-25 per burrito, right? That would be nuts.

I wish there was something like this but that filtered out AI books.

> And most of these supplies and prep are going to last what, ~4 days before they spoil? Rice lasts a very long time. Tortillas last a long time in the fridge (you can probably freeze them?). Freeze the meat. Beans last forever. Sour cream and cheese last a long time in the fridge and you'll certainly use them for other things. Guacamole/avocados/other veggies are potentially harder to deal with for long term storage…
You're expanding the scope to a much larger process and pattern of behavior that has to be undertaken and managed. Sure it's doable, and you can save a bunch of money that way. But as a one line throwaway comment it's still nonsense. Also freezing things or letting them sit in the fridge for weeks tends to change the texture. A main point of a burrito shop is the fresh ingredients.
No, absolutely not. This sort of thing is seriously just the baseline of how we should be expecting people to act in society. Buying stuff for one meal at a time is ridiculously decadent behavior and should not be affordable

I'll have to look into that. It should just work since it works on Chrome and I've made effort to request as little privilege as possible. But I'll have to test and try it out.

I mean, I figured the concept of buying ingredients to make a single meal for one person and then just throwing whatever's left away is so ridiculous on the face of it that I wouldn't need to qualify it, but apparently I was wrong. I currently live by myself and I bought a pork loin to barbecue for Independence Day as a treat. I bought one of the smallest ones I could find, then ate about a third of it that night. Th…
You're talking about meals that take 2 prepped ingredients (pork/veggies, pork/ramen, cereal/milk) versus something that takes on the order of 10 (tortilla, rice, beans, some kind of protein, cheese, pico, lettuce, guac, sour cream, hot sauce), many of them individually seasoned. That's exactly where the economies of scale come in! Point out that prepping meals at home is a great way to save money, sure. It just fall…
Yes but you never just buy enough of this for one single burrito!
When you're saying it costs $20-$25, you're not talking about per burrito the way you buy burritos at chiptole

I see what you're doing, and you're completely correct. It's expensive to make meals solo. But it's an uphill battle and you won't win. Nobody cares that buying new ingredients to make tacos for a party of 1 is expensive. If they aren't doing it yet, they will soon be telling you that you aren't holding it right, wherein: You should enjoy leftovers. You should embrace and cherish the idea that electing to have some t…
