I hope they own Jones’ likeness to the point where they can give DJs the rights to remix his shouts into something of value.

What Biden does it doesn’t do is immaterial at this point. American voters have no interest in responsible democracy. Democracies grant extreme power to the people - including the power of suicide. Whether through confusion, deception, or apathy, that is exactly what American voters have chosen.

Reminds me of this ropeway thing that Tom Scott covered that doesn’t require power input either, for similar reasons:

Niche application but still cool.

This is awesome.

If you ask enough pointless questions maybe women will start finding those pathetic losers attractive.

In this case YouTube can do literally anything they want due to the lack of real alternatives. Hosting videos for free, for anyone (and any number of viewers) to watch, for free, is rather predictably not a very profitable business model. If you want to see what it takes to actually be profitable with such a model, look at the average free porn site. Extremely intrusive ads everywhere. If you don’t want to pay, and ads are the only revenue, advertisers are the customer, not you.

I give it two weeks before you’re randomly musing about your desire to die along side Sanguinius in defence of the Eternity Gate.

Isn’t that allergy medicine and an antihistamine? How does that keep you going?

I mean you can sort of give him a pass on that. The Enterprise D is far more luxurious than any cruise ship of his time and in a completely different realm to any military ship in terms of material comforts.

Except the cancer warning thing which didn’t exactly have the desired effect. Good intent, bad execution.

Is AMD finally realizing that unless they lower prices their tenuous hold on the GPU market is going to slip away entirely?

I’d give it 50% odds at best.

“unrealized gains” that you can somehow live off of indefinitely.

Flour is flammable and light. If the fan makes a bunch of it fly around in your oven the heating element could ignite it. Search YouTube for “flour fire”.

Probably not super dangerous at if you’re just baking a sheet pan of flour, but good to be safe.

If you bake dry flour , remember to NOT use convection.

You can make safe edible cookie dough pretty easily . The eggs aren’t the only issue, it’s the flour itself. If you bake it at like 275F for 30 mins in a sheet pan it’ll sterilize it. For edible cookie dough that won’t be baked you don’t even need eggs.

Having said that, I too have eaten my share of regular cookie dough.

That’s normal for Any Connect. It’s a game show for masochists. If you ever feel smart and want to fix that, watch an episode of Any connect and try to actually answer the questions.

The wise thing is to not offer perpetual licenses in the first place. You can’t predict the state of your business in 10 years let alone beyond that. Why make commitments that? Marketing of course. So if they’re going to raise capital that way (by one-time revenue from sales of perpetual licenses) then they can’t just decide that perpetual doesn’t mean perpetual anymore. All in all this will come down to a legal duel between expensive legal teams.

Because they make it easy and do a few cool things.

“Do you want a mic in your home that can record everything you say and do and send that data off to wherever the company chooses?”

“No of course not.”

“What about of it will also turn your lights on and off and play despacito on demand?”

“You son of a bitch, sign me up”.

The problem with induction (including everything you cited there) is down to implementation, not the tech itself. The difference in UX between a bad induction stove and a good one is far far greater than the difference between a bad and good gas stove. A bad induction stove is just… really bad. But a good one (knobs, high density of settings) is just amazing. You can command 3000+W of power that actually goes where you want (you can get a pot of pasta water boiling in like 2 mins), and then the same element than consistency simmer at whatever low level you want indefinitely.

After using a great induction stove (with knobs, knobs are mandatory) I can’t ever go back. Yeah you get 5000 watts of heat with gas but most of that just heats your kitchen, face, and pot handles. It only tangentially interacts with the food you’re trying to cook.

My main issue with induction conceptually (once you move to induction compatible cookware) is that because they need to be digitally controlled they’re necessarily complicated. It’s possible for a gas stove to last 100 years if it’s high quality and well maintained. An induction stove is lucky to last 10. But the experience is sufficiently superior for me.
