Every slope is a slip and slide when you’re dealing with the “freeze peach” crowd.

Oh, except when they’re suppressing speech they don’t like…then suddenly the “freeze peach” absolutism just doesn’t apply and we all living on a flat plane.

I got a real one. We made money on our wedding because the wedding and receptions were so cheap.

I just use butter to cook my eggs. I also pay attention to the bonds that the bottom of the egg form with the pan. By using a stainless turner on a stainless pan you can get between the egg and the bonds it’s forming with the pan. The more often you manipulate it and make sure those bonds don’t form, the more “non-stick” the egg is.

I usually pan flip single eggs cooked with this method because the egg slides around the pan easily.

My wife has a problem doing the same though, so I buy a couple of the disposable Teflon junk pans on a recurring basis.

I’ve been looking at the pirotech pans which are supposed to be nonstick and fully recyclable, but I’ve been unable to find a lot of reviews on them.

I played it for just a couple of hours and I understood why you were saying that. It was either dance around like an idiot or make no progress. I didn’t like it and stopped playing it.

This is fucking hilariously evil and short-sighted.

🤞 there are mechanical difficulties with it

Ok?

The family should sue the state.

Oh come on, we cannot expect this class unconscious wannabe professional vibe coder to have market awareness. A lot of software developers are people who basically won the lottery (got into the right field at the right time) and think they deserved all of it. They think the poor people who were in other careers are just worse than them and that’s why they’re poor.

He doesn’t understand why unseen people aren’t clamoring to pay him $150k/year to browse Reddit when they don’t even have to anymore to provide the illusion to the market that they’re software companies.

That’s right guys, some of this is about impressions and stock prices and always has been. It was the case before chatgpt and friends that you’d have to have a slew of engineers doing stuff to look like a tech company. No longer. Even the big tech companies are doing away with lots of people. So now to look like a tech company you have to keep saying AI into a mirror and hope it conjures up a bunch of new investors.

The wisest thing I did was save a lot of money in my 20s and 30s, and then buy and pay off a place to live. I always knew the 150k a year salary days were likely to end one way or another. Now I at least have a pretty controlled cost of living if I have to take a huge salary hit.

They’d much rather you follow the legendary tales of Batman whose complex moral dilemma hinges upon not directly getting blood on his own hands even if it means keeping mass murderers alive to continue to terrorize the population.

Batman as a superhero is basically a libertarian wet dream: a defense contractor billionaire who may be complicit in all forms of mass violence but maintains the thinnest veneer of plausible deniability personally.

What’s hilarious is even in most of the fiction the libertarian wet dream of Gotham is a dystopian shit hole.

You seem to want to be angry so go ahead. Might I suggest being angry with this white supremacist who was buying ammo for their child to do a school shooting?

I’m still waiting for part two of the final season of stranger things.

That’s another thing I forgot about Netflix: all the shows cancelled without any decent conclusion or even a plan for one.

I know that’s common on TV too, but when a show fails they don’t usually continue advertising it.

It’s a sad day for our species, and barely anybody even notices.

It’s kinda like when you’re hungry and the hunger pains don’t go away until twenty minutes after you’ve started eating so you eat way too much.

A lot of the major consequences aren’t here yet (enough that denial is still possible). People will notice after it’s already gotten really terrible and it’s beyond obvious that we should’ve done anything at any cost about it.

Maybe when the arctic circle is springing up palm trees people will understand that it’s not a Chinese hoax.

I seem to be the rare person that notices that something has changed slowly and completely (ship of theseus or frog boil style) over time.

I’ve cancelled and renewed Netflix a couple of times over the last decade but it’s really a shadow of what it was at the start like you’re describing. Occasionally, they have a single show worth pirating or binging over the course of like a year.

Cable providers have unskippable ads on their own “on demand” platforms. I’m sure they track everything you do on their apps and their (often required for no technical reason) cable boxes. The only reason they didn’t participate more in surveillance capitalism is that they didn’t have the technical chops. They tried – and are still trying – their best to strangle broadband with needless data caps and anticompetitive agreements with alternative ISPs.

Cable companies were also rabidly anti-dvr as anyone who had a tivo can attest to. I’m glad you like your cable provider or whatever, but cable companies suck in the US.

Dude 1992 is tattooed on her neck. It’s in the photograph in the article.

No, cable was commercial-free when it first came out just like streaming was. They repeated the ota signals for the broadcast stations which of course contained commercials, but extremely similarly to streaming they started out with a quality and ad-free pitch for their own networks and then wound up pivoting to screwing over the customer any way possible.

(As they continue to do today, btw.)

Streaming just waited to roll out unskippable ads so they could win customers early on with an artificially, temporarily better service.

This is the exact same thing cable did when it came out.
