I don’t know, my mom brought me some Carolina reaper sauce from the UK a couple years ago. It was pretty good, but it was not the reaper level I was used to. I kinda loved it since I could eat it by the tablespoon and feel tough as nails.
Update- for the record, the ingredient label of it read “Carolina reaper paste, salt”.
Bicameral mind due for a comeback I see.
I’m convinced this is all to normalize keeping your data in the cloud and other 3rd party hands. It’s hr decline of the PC market, the fact that games, movies and music no longer come on media you own, instead is now just a license to use the content…
This is all part of the strategy of ensuring we do not own our data. They want all storage of all the data to be something we have to pay to access. They want to control everything, and make access to it a subscription.
I don’t think it’s as hard to draw a line as you are portraying it. The hypothetical nurse and bread factory is a non-issue, we’re talking fractions of the bottom line of any of the involved parties. This mulvad thing is the majority of the financial backing of a party by one high level person, who’s made his money from this organization.
I’m quite comfortable putting them under the same umbrella, and quite comfortable ignoring the hypothetical.
But think there might be a philosophical question here, but I kinda think this is begging for one a bit.
It came to me last night, how all this AI and the difficulties obtaining hardware. This is all them trying to end the idea of ownership, at least of your data. They want to control all the data, so everything you do, every picture you take, every game you play, every essay you write, will be only available in the cloud. We are getting close to the point where are must pay for every bit of our own data that we access.
This is the inevitable result. I’m very glad I’ve spent years building my own library of content. I just hope I can continue getting replacement hardware to keep it alive.
I feel like the second one gets me. The best sleep I get is in a terrifyingly cold room, snug and cozy under a heavy, warm stack of blankets.
Just had this thought, and realized all my backups had been through a flood. I wound up with several damaged disks, but was able to get all the content off of them, damage was to the outside edges, and most of them didn’t have much data written.
I have a Blu-ray burner, but I’ve never burned one (only a couple DVD’s). Probably never will.
We will if we keep expecting the “one weird trick”
What it will take is coordinated action, applied consistently, not this “I’ll fix everything immediately” bullshit people keep falling for.
Disclaimer: this is how long progress takes. People used to plant trees knowing they would never get to enjoy their shade.
Those boots… dude is on tiptoes, still looks tiny.
Following in my dad’s footsteps.
Already done. It was actually a freebie supermarket plant my son picked up. The local store has a section where the ugly and dying plants are free. So we picked up a chocolate mint, and are trying to bring it back to life.
I had it nearly there, so I gently moved it to a bigger pot, with fresh new soil, and it promptly died. There was one single stem that was left that had gotten buried when I replanted it. Everything behind it died, but it must be trying to put some roots down at a buried node or something. It was floppy and I thought dead, but then decided to come back to life and is growing new leaves. Fingers crossed, I’m too afraid to touch them t right now, so I’m just keeping it watered and sunny and hoping it comes back.
I can always go get some from the yard :).
I have a mint plant in my house, in a pot, that I simply cannot seem keep alive. It has a single stem left that’s trying its hardest to die every moment. I’ve taken it as a personal challenge to nurse it back to health (I need an easy win these days)
Last time I mowed, I noticed a new weed in the yard, popping up all over; this one smelled different, pleasant even. Fuck me, I’ve got a yard full of mint that showed up on its own, I’m guessing to mock my black thumb.
After this morning, I’m convinced it’s a way to control us.
I was waiting in a line this AM for bagels. Place was going to open in 30 minutes and always had a line. This morning, the entire time I waited in line there was a very expensive AMG with its car alarm going off over and over, 6 or 7 times while we waited. People were pissed and complaining every time.
Eventually the dude came out of another coffee shop and I told him he needs to get his car alarm checked. He says “fuck off, it’s just my kids dude, who pissed in your coffee”. So this fucker had left his kids in the car while he got himself coffee, let the alarm blare 3 feet from a line of people, including kids.
I walked up to his window, looked him in the eye and told him he was being a dick, and should be more considerate to people in line, and maybe disable the alarm if he’s leaving his kids in the car. He just peeled out of there with a middle finger up.
The only people who said anything to me was “that was such cringe bro” and “lighten up man”.
So, despite people being pissed, and despite someone calmly trying to ask someone for grace, the only people who cared were the ones who thought I was unreasonable. So, it’s more acceptable to be a dick than it is to call someone out for it.
Obviously the best part.
I know I’m the worst, but I kinda loved those commercials. Quiznos is garbage food, but I appreciated them taking a risk on something so crazy and polarizing. I guess I just have a soft spot for anyone or anything that doesn’t take itself too seriously.
I renewed mine online the day before they announced this shit. I better not get one of these fucking abominations.
Oh my god I swear I am a psychic. The night of that fuckers first election I posted something like “and so begins this arc of history which will end with him and the administration fleeing to Argentina.”
Oh, agreed. But that means we have to fight harder when the system is working against us. To defeat them, we have to keep playing the game.
No shit, my boy wanted a Barbie when he was little, so he had a Barbie. He also had Legos, and played with blocks, board games and eventually video games. Let kids play with whatever the fuck they want to, they are exploring.
