But seriously, looks like a good smoke ring, a solid bark, and plenty of nice little pockets of fat laced in around the meat. Well done!

Great analysis and description, thanks for sharing.

I want to be skeptical that there's anything magical about stepping through the different settings on your stove to preheat the pan, but I can't argue with your results and that's all that matters.

In the literal sense, yes they are both mac'n'cheese. But they are very different dishes and it's a very different experience to eat one vs the other. I would be annoyed if I wanted the boxed version and someone gave me the homemade version, because they're not the same thing.

I'll say homemade mac'n'cheese is a completely different dish from box mac'n'cheese.

You don't make a sandwich if you want a burrito and you don't order a burger if you want a hot dog. You don't do homemade if you want boxed and vice versa. It hardly makes sense to compare them.

Harder to guess because Alaskans still have circadian rhythms - that's a basic biological function built into your brain, that a lot of life on earth evolved with. (I assume circadian rhythm predates humans, because other animals have it, too.)

In a tidally locked world, there would be no circadian rhythm, at least not one driven by the day/night light cycle. I mean yeah they'd probably still need to sleep but the underlying biological mechanisms would be completely different
