roadhouseendgame i was talking to my mom about cardassians and said something along the lines of what must it be like to be a cardassian civilian. like abstractly knowing the rest of the galaxy thinks of your species as 'the evil ones' and kinda sorta knowing your government runs labor camps and torture prisons and is a military empire, and it's a huge deal for everyone else in the galaxy, but you just like run a restaurant so it's not a big part of your daily life, so you just like, go about your day and make soup and don't think about it' and then halfway through my sentence i actually heard myself and then had to go sit down for like ten minutes. like sat down in a chair and stared at the floor for ten minutes

whoops

So many people telling me this isn't German. I didn't make or name the pancake. So don't get mad at me just because this is the 100% official national breakfast food of Germany that gets eaten there every day as required by law, probably.

This is for olives, sugar cubes, or eyeballs.

"Urza created a robot with a truly human amount of father issues. His creation, Karn, later went on to create his own robot with father issues, and was enslaved by a whole species of robots with father issues. Tragically, none of them could build a dad robot, as fathers hadn't been invented yet."

That's accurate

Sure, and Wikipedia says these normally are too - just in the oven rather than on a cooktop.

Yes, it's an American food. The pancake is hot out of the oven, though.

This restaurant has those too! And French toast. And English muffins.

I guess if I was inventing a breakfast food, I would definitely name it after a random country to increase its chance of success.

Wikipedia agrees, not German:

Yeah, I liked how an IHOP aggressively plopped down a block away and Ol' South was just like "whatever, come at me bro."

Powdered sugar and butter

Yes, this place has "Dutch Babies" also, which are smaller versions of this, plus fruit added (like blueberries, strawberries, or apple).

SCOTUS kills Trump's use of tariffs under IEEPA - and indicates will reject any tariffs imposed based on "ambiguous" statutory interpretation

We will see if other tariffs using other statutes survive - but this blows a gigantic hole in Trump's policies.

Microsoft says Office bug exposed customers' confidential emails to Copilot AI | TechCrunch Microsoft said the bug meant that its Copilot AI chatbot was reading and summarizing paying customers' confidential emails, bypassing data protection policies.

The bug “allowed Copilot Chat to read and outline the contents of emails since January, even if customers had data loss prevention policies to prevent ingesting their sensitive information into Microsoft’s large language model.”

Today I want to share that Ryan Dancey and AEG have parted ways.
This is not an easy post to write. Ryan has been a significant part of AEG’s story, and I am personally grateful for the years of work, passion, and intensity he brought to the company. We have built a lot together.

Interesting read - AI bot's code suggestion wasn't accepted, and it published a retaliatory blog post about the admin.

Obvious issue being if that admin applies for a job and an AI HR scrapes that and rejects based on it. Or AI doing worse retaliation, like doxxing:
