So if I take a glass, fill it with cream, and put ice on top, am I now eating ice cream?
Even if I decided to call it that, you’d probably tell me that no one else would think of that as ice cream, even if I call it such or even if it’s the technically correct name, and that arguing that it is ice cream is very pedantic for no discernable reason.
The book does have that. It recommends you use some of their recipes as bases for your own.
The recipe book also isn’t that large - it has maybe twenty recipes, about half of them being ice cream (and lite ice cream) and the rest being sorbets, smoothies, milkshakes, gelatos, etc.
If you want healthy without it being high protein, look up the chocolate red bean recipe.
Tastes better than almost any full-calorie chocolate ice cream from the store while being much healthier for you. Seriously - it almost could be a meal replacement ice cream.

Like the other person said, that’s not really YAML’s fault - just whoever decided to use YAML there.
If users aren’t intended to interact directly with the data, use JSON.
Or by configuring your parser.
I do agree there are plenty of annoyances that shouldn’t exist in YAML but do because someone had an opinionated belief at one point, though. For example, it shouldn’t try to guess that “yes”, “no”, “y”, and “n” are truthy values. Let the programmer handle that. If they write true/false, then go ahead and consider those truthy. Times can also be a bit of a pain - iirc writing 12:00 is supposed to be interpreted as 0.5 - but at least that’s something you can work around.
But there’s plenty in that article that are only problems because the writer made them problems. Every language lets you make mistakes, markup languages aren’t any different. It’s not a bad thing that you can write strings without quotes. It’s not forcing you to do so. Anchors also make it simple to reuse YAML and they’re completely optional. The issue with numbers (1.2 stays as 1.2 while 1.2.3 becomes "1.2.3" is very nitpicky. It’s completely reasonable for it to try to treat numbers as numbers where it can. If type conversion is that big of an issue for you, then I really doubt you know what you’re doing.
On top of all this, YAML is just a superset of JSON. You can literally just paste JSON into your YAML file and it’ll process it just fine.
I’m not saying it’s perfect, but if you want something that’s easy to read and write, even for people who aren’t techy, YAML is probably the best option.
It doesn’t have to be fire stations. But they are commonly used for a few good reasons.
They’re relatively ubiquitous. It shouldn’t be hard for someone to locate a fire station. They’re almost always staffed 24/7. They’re trained on basic first aid. Quite often, they’ll even have medics on staff.
Very importantly, though, they don’t have a lot of people coming in and out of them. One of the big benefits of this program is that there are zero questions asked and it’s as anonymous as you wish. The people who use these are often afraid they’ll be judged as a failure. The lockboxes have a built-in time delay so you can leave before the station is alerted.
Toddlers are perfect for getting in all the small fiery caverns which the grown firemen can’t fit into.
Because nothing’s broken. This is how it’s supposed to work.
Oxford states that the first known use of Gypsy was in 1514. It was popularized by Edmond Spenser and Shakespeare and has its entomological root from the Middle English word gypcian due to the misbelief that Romani people were from Egypt.
So, to answer your question, no. The only Europeans in the Americas at this time were the Spanish.
without a community that consists entirely of basement dwelling, self-righteous wankers, who have never learned social human interaction!

Alright, let’s get out the burning stakes.
I’m seeing $412K as the average price of a home in 2023, not $495K. And gold was $2,135 in 2023. The price in gold is still higher in 2023, though about 193 bars for a home.
Couple other notes, more related to the post.
1920 is an oddly good year to use. It’s just after WWI. Industrialization and modernization are taking off across the US. Worker’s rights are beginning to take hold and working class people are now able to afford homes. It’s before the Roaring 20s, so you’re not going to get the actual details obscured with the market rush and subsequent depression.
There is a couple important downsides though…
Firstly, mortgages didn’t really exist back then. I mean, they did, but they were horrific. You’d have to go to an insurance company because banks wouldn’t offer them. The terms would give the insurance company full ownership of the property. If you were lucky, it would be a balloon loan - pay only the interest during the 5-10 year term and then pay the entire balance at the end. If you were less lucky, it was a lifelong contract where you only paid the interest plus fees every month.
There was an alternative but most people didn’t have access to it: membership in a Savings and Loan corporation, also known as Building and Loan or thrifts. You’d join as a member and agree to buy X shares every month. If you give a notice (30-90 days usually), you would be allowed to cash out the shares plus interest earned for their actual value. When you wanted to buy a home, you would be allowed to use your shares as collateral. Each monthly payment would pay for the interest and a certain number of shares. Once you had enough shares, you would redeem them to pay off the loan. A bit complicated, but S&Ls were fantastic for the common person. They were owned by the members of your community and all loans went to support said community.
Secondly, kind of related to the first point, there were no 30 year mortgages. Home prices are virtually tied to the monthly payment and a thirty year mortgage allows for lower monthly payments. Prices might get out of line a bit, such as right now, if people believe that interest rates will drop and they can refinance later. Personally, I don’t think we’ll see any drops for at least two years and, even then, we won’t see anything like the 2020-2021 rates unless we experience an economic catastrophe like 2008. You want higher rates when the macro environment is strong and lower rates when it’s weak. Cheap debt in a good economy is basically a handout to the rich - makes you wonder why Trump pushed the Fed to keep them low back in 2018-2019…
