Will there be one member of the cabinet hear the “You’re fired!” each week?

Watch “Beard meets Food” on YT and learn.

Someone who does not know about “permanent delete” and not having backups, especially when switching to a new system, should have no business complaining about this.

I don’t f-ing care about US soldiers and spies being tracked. What concerns me is that many many more normal people have most likely been tracked, too.

In comparison to some article descriptions on Amazon, this is actually a comprehendable translation.

Been there, seen that, had to deal with it. Now add the problem that there are people who don’t know their birth date or not even the f-ing year they were born in. And I’m not talking about someone from a lost tribe at the Amazonas.

Same shit with American custom forms. On the one hand, they threaten you with Armageddon if you fill out the form incorrectly, on the other hand, they only allow plain letters, numbers, and a handful of special characters. Nobody there has the capacity of the mind that maybe a name cannot be correctly represented with that tiny subset of characters. So it is simply impossible to fill out that form without breaking the law. And it is a customs form, so they should know that people filling it out are most likely foreigners.

Regarding AI, there are only options on what would be great with AI. There simply is no option “No, I don’t f-ing want AI” in a Mozilla product.

I want a Browser and an EMail program. Not something that tries to do thinking for me.

Don’t take your real phone with you. Just get a cheap burner phone that you can reset after customs went through it.

The two issues with making soup without a lid: heat loss and evaporation.

The first is important as the soup must simmer, not boil. With a lid, you can easily create a mostly uniform heat, without it will probably be too cold at the top, and, as you have to feed more heat, it will most likely be too hot at the bottom.

The second is not unimportant, as you usually cook a good soup for quite some time (my beef broth takes about a day), so evaporation will be quite relevant to the overall consistency of the soup, too. Adding lost water will also add to the temperature inconsistencies.

When AIs dream, what do they dream about?

Only in backwater countries that still use those antique washing lines that break with every instance of bad weather.

Ever had spaghetti ice cream with strawberry sauce and grazed white chocolate as “parmesan”

Could be. Key fobs use button cells.

Normal AA or AAA battery, or a CR<something> button? If it is a button cell, try wiping it with alcohol before you insert it. Many modern button cells have a coating that tastes horrible to prevent people (children) from taking them into the mouth. I’ve noticed that on some brands, this coating measurably increases the resistance of the cell, not only reducing the the power it can deliver, but als making it appear “emptier” than they are ofor the measuring circuits. Wiping off the coating with alcohol (90% isopropanol) expanded the cells’ life (in a kitchen scale to boot!) significantly.

A friend of ours was approaching her 40th birthday. But she only admitted to having a “round” birthday, and even forbade her kids to talk about mommys age, even though we made a big production to learn her age with trick questions and all. And then we told her that if she keeps mum about her age, we’ll just guesstimate it.

That’s how she got sent loads of cards for her 50th birthday. She was a bit pissed when we arrived for the party. And then we handed her the real cards for her 40th.

That is the maximum annual pay for a 0-60 h/week job.
