I’m trying to remember if it was giphy that if you search for Star Trek, 90% of the results are Star Trek Discovery gifs. I guess deals with a given id holder was one way to monetize this sort of service, and totally stifle the organic weir

Nah, a cake with settled, minimally touched flour is dense and too… cakey. You take a fork and run the tines through settled flour thats been sitting for any length of time and you see you end up with much less fluffed up flour in a given v

Even better is a reverse sear in stove on an elevated rack on a baking sheet at 230 degrees for 30 minutes, then you finish the steak off on a hot oiled (avocado or maybe peanut oil) skillet for 1 minute on each side.

Minivans are a totally different class of vehicle than the actual problematic vehicles, body on frame suv’s and pickups, though. I wager they are significantly lighter too because they are unibody and based on car platforms. The problem is

Jeesh bought a crucial drive last year and then the firmware bug thing happened, so instead of buying another crucial drive, I bought a sandisk (ultra sata) drive and now this happens. None of the first party nand makers seem to be immune f

Dunno if this is what you’re getting at, but as much as I feel nostalgic for pre-windows xp/7 interfaces, computers do a lot more than they used to. Its at the very least much better to have a search bar that (only) filters through al

I made a concerted effort to learn Vim maybe a year or two (the last 3 years scarily blend together for me) ago and, while I enjoyed it, I moved to Windows and instead of trying to carve out a vim workflow, I just resorted to using VSCode.

The OpenBox desktop environment looks pretty sharp, is that what it looks like by default? I tried XFCE in OpenSuse and it was really barebones and much more... opinionated than I ever remember it being in Ubuntu or Fedora... maybe I'm

It seems challenging to avoid the noise if you want to consume news and know whats going on in the world. Even turning on 1010 WINS in the car I have to hear about some Texas college president arguing that Drag Shows are like Minstrel Shows

A lot of talk about ai cores. Is that just a fancy way of saying the chip is good at making parallel computing? Also is this chip only really suitable for missions or is this chip also suitable for something like an orbiting datacenter? Or

I don’t know if all you wrote about is going to be a problem in the way you see it. The developing world has jumped/skipped some of the development the west/rich nations experienced and just adapted the latest technology. A good e

This reminds me of the old articles I ran into at some point from the 80s and maybe early 90s where the writers talked about how many floors from a library you could fit on a hard drive or a floppy disk or a maybe a cd. Of course, that’s ju
