What really gets me is that the compounds responsible for this hue in food are called “anthocyanins” which means “blue flower.” I can’t even.

No worries: those server chunks haven’t been explored yet. Give it time.

Seconded. That kind of humor is 100% on-brand for her.

Ah, that explains why the article smells like an LLM wrote it.

I feel ya. Pass the ibuprofen.

So… does that mean that the whole “Epstein was a part of a global Mossad blackmail operation” thing now carries some weight?

How in the world could someone find the energy to…

inhaling cocaine

Ah, okay. Why is the answer always drugs?

On a related note: every search engine under the sun now has AI built in EXCEPT the one called “Ask Jeeves”. If any of them should have been 100% AI, it was this one. And instead, it fucking died in the middle of all this.

I see you. Not enough people are going to get this one.

It’s to beer what LaCroix is to fruit juice.

Right here. I love my wired headphones.

There’s kind of a catch here that explains why wireless has taken off. A lot of people do not, for whatever reason, respect the integrity of the cable and the strain relief at either end. Wires are this artificial abomination, a means to an end, and something to be contended with rather than cared for. They’re stored as a tangled mess, and recovered and un-tangled in a stream of stressed movements and much swearing. The result is broken, bent, crimped, strained, and ultimately broken wires.

Instead, wires must be cared for in specific ways and that is a skill that just isn’t taught to everyone. It hurts my soul every time I notice this.

The finance side of things has also enabled a kind of house size inflation. Anecdotally, I’ve seen new tract housing go up in areas that need housing, which were all 3000 sq/ft each. They could have developed for higher density and sell more units, but I guess the margins are better on houses that sell for 700k and up. Especially if folks are willing to go into deep debt to pull it off. Plus that does little to ease demand, so the cycle can continue.

What I love about this video is not that he pulled it off (more or less), but that it helps illustrate just how hard it is to use atmospheric carbon for just about anything.

I started watching CEE out of curiosity, but damn, it’s a good channel. Our host is just low-key charismatic, and wastes no time getting into laying out the problem, customer requirements, and how we’re going to fix things. Then the big machines are put to work, which is just a treat to watch. Wrap it all up with a brisk but informative narrative style, and an adorable tank of a dog that helps break up the content, and it really is a good watch. Dare I say a comfy watch at that.

This old Tony is also a gateway drug into machining YT:

• Blondiehacks
• Inheritance Machining
• ABOM
• Not An Engineer

Of course they’re not using them: have you seen what Telsa charges for their solar tiles? Tesla can’t afford that.

Not exactly a farm-able loot table, but here’s what taking down a warp core gets you:

• Antimatter
• Coolant
• Dilithium crystals
• Isolinear chips
• Fusion chamber schematic

Warp core also deals 5,000,000 damage in a 10km radius, upon death. So you get to enjoy those spoils for about a femtosecond.

Wow, what a quaint little folk-tale. I wonder how this will…

When did my life get this weird?

Oh.

Oh shit, someone should let this person know that a lot of these don’t end well.

$15 million? Hasn’t APAIC spent many times that much money in trying to fight progressives this year already?
