Today's episode just posted. www.riskyornot.co/ep... this one was over the "risky" line for both of us. More evidence that ChatGPT is probably not going to take over the world anytime soon. Especially if it has to be plugged in.

Today's episode is topical if not holiday themed. www.riskyornot.co/ep... Ran into a lot of interesting guardrails in creating this image: chatgpt.com/share/69...

this year, rather than stressing about thanksgiving (despite all the useful risky or nots) we are going out to dinner for the first time for the holidays! hopefully the chef is a listener!

In case you were thinking about cooking your American Thanksgiving turkey to 155°F tomorrow, this is the perfect post for you www.riskyornot.co/ep... And yet another comically bad ChatGPT thermometer.

Yes but how many of those are for hockey?

Today's episode was a bit late but it's done and the rest of the episodes for the week are also set to go. No AI artwork, just Chef John touching his meat 🙄

This was a fun one to record. It was also a fun one to do without recording, but you’ll never know.

I've been lax about posting of social media re: Risky or Not, but I'm trying to get back on it. These two episodes just posted. www.riskyornot.co/ep... and www.riskyornot.co/ep... Enjoy!

I know I have not posted about risky or not episodes in a while, but we have been steadily putting them out. Today we met to record a bunch more, but forgot to hit the record button. We will meet next week and hopefully get caught up and even get a little bit ahead.

Some moments call for statesmanship. And sometimes you just need a guy from Chicago, Illinois.

So what?

Because Jon just asked: uncarved, intact pumpkins do last at room temp for a long time and can be safely consumed as you would any hard winter squash that can be stored long term. You just don't want to eat anything that's been cut into and left out.

Good morning.

Behind on posting about bloated meat www.riskyornot.co/ep... and MREs www.riskyornot.co/ep... 🙄

Once we started to do a little bit of research, it was clear that this one was risky. www.riskyornot.co/ep... The show art does not disappoint. Catching up on posts. Soon will be caught up.

This episode was a bit silly. I like the way the show art turned out. We also discover a potential real risk and appreciate how it was mitigated.

Catching up on some old posts. In this episode we venture into one of Ben's favorite topics... Legionella.

Finally had some time today to post yesterday‘s episode here: www.riskyornot.co/ep... Ben has some food safety adventures in the bath 🙄

Today’s #RiskyOrNot episode hasn’t been recorded yet, so it will be posted but probably not tomorrow 😂

Late posting about yesterday‘s episode. This was an interesting one.

This was a delightful episode and perfectly capped off by ChatGPT‘s image of someone vaguely resembling Ben sitting inside his perfect 37°F fridge

SPLATTER!!🫟

“Winning”

It’s Labor Day but I’m still working. At least if you can call hanging out with my nerdy microbiology math friends work. But the podcast continues on as Ben indulges me with one of my favorite TikTokers, Martin, my personal water sommelier:

Thought about this today walking past some graf…

Ben and I offer this as a public service announcement for any of you considering going to the beach on this holiday weekend: www.riskyornot.co/ep... as suggested by a friend, if you have a fresh tattoo, consider this as an open wound.

This episode was inspired by a reporter asking questions about these fancy fruit washing gizmos.

Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day. Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day. It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

This one posted yesterday, just getting around to sharing it now: www.riskyornot.co/ep... this is an absolutely fascinating recall, and I hope we learn more about the cause.

We had a lot of fun with this one.

Ben was very kind to indulge me on this one

Today’s episode came about because Ben just had a question he wanted to talk about: www.riskyornot.co/ep... once again we show that we are bravely not afraid to disagree with food safety policy where the science is weak.

If it ain’t racked, it ain’t graf

I forgot to post about this episode on Friday. Enjoy!

in today’s episode we discuss white bread. That’s it, that’s the whole topic. Just white bread. www.riskyornot.co/ep... You might be saying to yourself why would they talk about that? Well, listen to the episode and you’ll find out!

The artwork for this episode kind of makes me want to change my decision. www.riskyornot.co/ep... but only noronerd can tell us whether it’s an accurate picture!

i just clicked "Interested"

i asked wojGPT who the last twelve presidents were and the answer i received was: Trader Joe Biden Donald Tramp Baruch O'Bama Kate W. Bush Alberto Gorm Will.I.Am Climalton Kate H. W. Bush Robald Regan Jiminy Carter Bush Jerold Fnord Richard Dickson Limber B. Johmson

Hey, if you’re awake and still reading the Internet and you have some sushi left out on your counter, now is your time to put it away! www.riskyornot.co/ep...

Ben and I got to nerd out about frozen foods in this one www.riskyornot.co/ep... it was a bit of a journey getting the image for show art. I don’t think ChatGPT understands what frozen food looks like.

Today’s episode was quite interesting: www.riskyornot.co/ep... I love the blue theme of the show art.

Today’s episode was a weird one. www.riskyornot.co/ep...
