    A really good bullshit-o-meter.

    So many issues with major media, corporate announcements, government announcements, and probably many other things can be solved with a good bullshit-o-meter.

    What I really mean is critical thinking. Because there are vacuous ways to calibrate a bullshit-o-meter that lack logic entirely and tie one into some ideological goal. Then you can still claim to have a bullshit-o-meter but lack the ultimate goal of it, but it’s really not a helpful tool at that point. My original meaning is a true, logic-based bullshit-o-meter.

    Basic cooking.

    You don’t need to be Gordon Ramsey, but in a pinch, know how to make pasta, chilli and a few other things.

      Is chilli considered basic? Spicy food is not that common where I live. For me the basics would be to know how to:

      -Peel and cut veggies

      -Boil stuff

      -Fry eggs

      But maybe it’s a cultural thing! I’m interested in knowing what you’re doing with your chilli peppers ;)

        Basic chili recipe (people from texas can bite their tongue for five minutes one time):

        • beans
        • tomatoes
        • onions
        • peppers

        A little bit of cumin and salt to taste and you actually don’t need anything else to get something that is recognizable as chili.

        I add all sorts of other stuff, but that’s the basics.
