lmao I almost mentioned dancing with the stars in that comment.

Dude should’ve retired and foisted the mess he made on a successor back when all the libs still remembered who he was. Could’ve moved to the US and been a rich D-list celebrity.

I’m not conspiracy brained enough to think this is the case.

But if it was, it’d be very funny if it was the same assassin who was hired to off Epstein.

In-app podcast discovery lists were already worthless, so filling them up with garbage isn’t going to hurt much.

I know some guy is going to get all their news by asking a computer to summarize the latest news and repackage it as a podcast on his commute. But I wasn’t inviting that guy to my parties anyway.

It’s Lemon Demon!

Pretty much.

Beatsaber is very good though.

Streaming video games from the cloud, maybe. It might have been long enough for that to get back into the hype cycle.

I don’t know though, cryptocurrency promised to fix neoliberalism by providing new imaginary markets to expand into forever, and AI promised to build God. I don’t think the potential for a probably-Netflix-sized business can hold up that kind of hype.

I got a VR set this year. The ecosystem is a weird wasteland of projects where the funding suddenly dried up, and there’s a thin veneer of cryptocurrency flavored shit over everything.

I think the tech is good enough. It’s just a business problem, where all the businesses either want to be the new app store controlling it, or the people who make premium headsets at a markup. But what they actually need is to force people to give a damn, which either means exclusive games (Nintendo is the only company still in the exclusive games on their own hardware business, and they didn’t do it), or VR sets so cheap that random developers think they can successfully sell VR games (nobody wants to be the IBM to someone else’s Microsoft).

I don’t think it’s okay that grok can show you the door’s tits without the door’s permission.

Right technique for Riker, but no way he’d end up covering more than half the page.

Data would spend all episode trying to find the optimal pattern using increasingly convoluted methods until someone, probably Guinan, tells him it’s a Z.

I don’t have an instapot and don’t know anything about them, but the answer is almost certainly. Just dice your fruit and cook it… however long you cook things in an instapot? A search for an instapot mango chutney recipe says 10 minutes on high pressure. If I was cooking it in a sauce pan, I’d expect like twice that long, but I guess the pot is insta.

Fresh sauces (salsas, curries, etc) (as opposed to a fermented/pickled/preserved sauce) are just food you cook the same way as anything else, but chopped finer and maybe cooked longer.

Also I guess people don’t realize that you can cook fruit, but you can. Cut a pear into chunks and pan fry it some time.

Er, I said two similar ingredients.

I love the enthusiasm though! Maybe you’ll discover something cool.

Three options here:

• Take any decent looking hot sauce recipe you found online, replace the peppers with a hotter one if they’re not already cayennes or habaneros or hotter, remove all the low impact ingredients (chilli powder, parsely, that sort of thing), and add like a bay leaf or something. Claim the bay leaf is the secret (it’s not, but you need to have a secret). This will beat everyone else who used a recipe they just pulled off the internet (because you removed the low impact ingredients and claimed the secret was the bay leaf).

• Get the hottest pepper you can find and mix it with sugar, garlic, and salt. But mostly the peppers. This is a cynical option aimed at people who will vote for the hottest sauce to prove their toughness or something. However, this is very unlikely to win, because hot sauce contests tend to have way too many people who think this is how you win, and that’s a crowded field.

• Pick a strongly flavored ingredient like a tropical fruit, mint, or pickled onions. Pick a similar ingredient to accent it, like a second tropical fruit, an herb, or pickled garlic (respectively). Make a sauce that’s like 2 parts the first, 1 part the second, add the right amount of salt (taste it) and add roast hot peppers (probably cayenne or habanero again) until it has a strong kick. Ideally you should do a second batch where it’s all cooked together once you know the best ratio.

That last one is nice because, after you’ve tried a few iterations, you have your own hot sauce recipe! No shenanigans at all. It’s also very likely to win if everyone else goes for the hottest sauce possible.

I’m reacting to her announcement so I’m obviously a reactionary

This is my fault, isn’t it.

they never got Gex over there so nobody told them it’s tail time

it’d take quite a contrived situation to make me unhappy about bread
