It’s a processing term.

Along with relying more on old recipe books, I’ve been using DuckDuckGo’s ‘date’ filter to limit my searchs to 2005-2015 (just easy to modify a single 2 in each year as they default to 2025) and it’s helped with avoiding AI slop for recipes.

I was kind of shocked how well Flight of the Navigator held up when I rewatched it for the first time as an adult a couple of years ago. The effects used for the ship were great.

Just finished CABIN: Off the Grid Adventures with a Clueless Craftsman by Patrick Hutchison and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a hilarious read. Revisiting Stiff by Mary Roach now, just because it’s been a long time.

The first time I heard the term dongle it was for the little adapter that connected to a PCMCIA card and I gave my buddy shit for using the term because I thought it sounded dumb. Then, on a trip to the local computer store an employee used the same term for the piece and I got to feel like the dumb one. Good times.

If ICE does to flannel what Hitler did to his mustache, I’m going to be livid.

Okay, how about you’re Jimmer, you’re Jimmy, and you’re Jim Bob. So you all get to be some version of Jim and we don’t got to be in, fuckin… Cats.

And that radio telegraph operators weren’t using three letter Q-code shortcuts since the early 1900s.

Nothing. Recently lost my job and have absolutely no confidence that I’ll be able to get another; so life is pretty much at a standstill until something happens with that.

I installed Manjaro about six months ago because I’d never tried it. I like it so far and it has yet to get in my way enough to make me want to change.

John Spencer’s scene as Leo McGarry describing being an alcoholic.

The last time I was sentenced to death, I ordered four hyper-vodkas for my breakfast. All a bit of a blur after that… I woke up in bed with both of my executioners. Lovely couple, they stayed in touch! Can’t say that about most executioners.

I was wondering the same and got curious enough for a quick search. Saw someone recommending Branston Pickle and it looks similar

Branston Pickle is made from a variety of diced vegetables, including swede, carrots, onions and cauliflower pickled in a sauce made from vinegar, tomato, apple and spices.[9] While not a chutney, Branston Pickle is sweet and spicy with a “chutney-like” consistency, containing chunks of vegetables in a thick brown sticky sauce.[9]

I’m lamenting the fact that this scenario means I’ve lost all my fountain pens, but I’d go with #5 in a .38

I definitely did on this one and it’s a good reminder that I’m amplifying my echo chamber by getting lazy and only looking at headlines.

I just wanted to toss out another thanks for mentioning Notesnook. After a week I’m completely won over.
