A few things to unpack here.

• That chicken is roasted nicely, but I completely understand if that was bought in that condition at the grocer’s.
• Plain bread is a travesty. it needs to be either toasted and/or you need some melted butter or gravy to sop up.
• Pair this with some fruit or pan seared/roasted vegetables. Even microwaved beans would make this nutritious. Takes very little effort, very easy to do.
• Even peasants had access to beer, ale, or home-made short-beer/kvass. Gotta calorie-max so you can work in the field tomorrow. Plus, the alcohol helps with the constant muscle-aches and fatigue from endless labor.

There are innumerable ways to elevate this meal, but I’ll keep this comment short. Anyone, feel free to message me or reply here if you want tips for that.

Just don’t drink out of it and you’ll be okay.

Seriously. For both events, I feel like the skill curve starts at “try not to die” and just keeps climbing in degrees of “get better at not dying” and “point your feet in the right direction”.

The yogurt is also very ketogenic and full of vitamins and macros.

I can’t speak for GP, but “pipes” was always a solid watch.

Then there’s this thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytKVGtJ5yng

• a short story by the Critically Acclaimed author of “The Torment Nexus”.

But it’s a 16-ring barrel plug.

Thanks. Now I can’t get the image of a time-traveling DeLorian, with an iPhone plugged in where the MrFusion was, out of my head.

The content inside the notepad edit window should probably be universally sandboxed from your local box

Sadly, this was already the case when Notepad stayed in its lane and only handled plain text unicode.

Good call.

I dunno, they seem to be tossing around the idea of investigating Super Bowl stuff this week.

I’m not seeing the downside. Have you seen that cable management?!

This is amazing. Especially out of context.

Squatting on a party-line to play WoW is just a wild pairing of technological eras to me. If we go by the invention date of the former they’re more than a century apart (1878).

Also: rude!

Obligatory Moonbase Alpha TTS

Gonna need a functional government with a functioning regulatory body for that.

Edit: also, Congress seems to be able to just lasso anyone and pull them into a hearing to make a show of damn near anything. We could really use one of those for this (and many other) boondongles right now.

I only got $10 on me. Can I pay you the rest using my company’s stock?

Have you seen this show? It’s like 10 years of that.

The problem here is the for-profit model that drives mass (over-)production and planned obsolescence.

We can do away with this if a company embraces a completely different model. Instead of doing the usual thing, go 100% on-demand with pre-orders, and only build what people want to buy. Then, keep moving horizontally into other product lines, following the demand and manufacturing need. Once pre-orders hit a given theshold, manufacturing starts for a given product. This eliminates all kinds of overhead and allows the company to survive by investing in multiple revenue streams. As a bonus: it’s a lot less wasteful since you never make more units than you can sell.

Subscriptions are like insurance and gym memberships. They’re profitable only if they represent value that is never fully realized by the consumer. They’re a really bad tax, and people dislike them for good reason. I want to buy a thing from a company, and that’s all; it’s not my responsibility to keep them afloat after that transaction.
