After 30 years in IT industry, I am not sure if I'm a novice or an expert. I don’t know anything.

Why has the Internet never produced a recipe site that provides a flowchart instead of list of ingredients? It's such a more intuitive way to do recipes, and I have to mark up all of mine.

There is another theory which states that this has already happened."

made a series of print-on-demand zines that were distributed via ATMs. For a $5 charge on your card, you'd receive a 12-foot-long receipt that could be folded and assembled into a cute little zine. Here's the video of the installation in action during Tom's "Space Program: Europa" show at the Yerba Buena Center For The Arts in 2017.

video of an ATM that is installed in the YBCA. A card is inserted into the machine and the user is charged $5. Then a long receipt comes out with instructions on how to fold it. The final zine, in it's assembled form is shown at the end of the video.

@nixCraft happy with my 6 yr old Asus Q406. When M$ started running advertisements on my OS, I blew Windows off of it and loaded Ubuntu. Tired old battery, but the computer is excellent.
