AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH

Two bowls of Laksa, topped with coriander, chillies, fried shallots, and fried fish, on a wooden table.

Made Laksa for the first time thanks to a christmas gift of a cookbook.

I always enjoy it more with fish, the beer battered shark in this one worked out a treat.

Rick your profile says photographer and artist, why did you choose to avoid using photography or art for this post?

Henry Kissinger, as secretary of state, on the communist Khmer Rouge led by Pol Pot in 1975: "You should tell the Cambodians that we will be friends with them. They are murderous thugs but we won't let that stand in our way"

to say nothing of the usa's history in latin america or the middle east

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

the U.S. invaded a country and kidnapped its president after months of extrajudicial executions and rejection of diplomatic solutions, while the the now kidnapped leader was actively trying to negotiate

bit on the nose to do it on the anniversary of Noriega's capture too

first light of 2026, as far as I can see it

I didn't have the characters to keep crackdown in my quote of this, it really was a special game but it happens to be in a year of special - franchise launching - games.

It was just so much *fun*.

valid, not something I saw anything about 2 years ago but a quick search now shows they do indeed seem to be allowing AI "artists" on the platform, bleak :(

I wish you went into more detail with what you didn't like about Tidal (design?). They pay artists much better and I was able to bring across all of my albums and playlists from Spotify which made it a very smooth experience.

I've been using Tidal for 2 years now with no regrets.

I have physical books of your writing I've read so I feel this is somewhat self evident.

it's a great game

I do wish they had found a way to make full mission replay happen but will replay it regardless

can't wait to see what they do next

raffle tickets and a half finished pint

friday night at the local, bought some raffle tickets, meat tray here we come 🤞

thanks, this shit is so much harder to turn off than it should be amd wastes as much time as it saves

if I want to use an llm on the subset of things it saves time on I'll invoke it specifically, otherwise it's a waste of electricity getting in my way

you could argue Rush isn't a Lauda biopic but regardless Daniel Bruhl's time spent with Lauda led to one an inspired performance in a great film

the idea that publisher funding or prior studio owner wealth is somehow more fair than arts department funding for indie creators is indeed a deranged take

senator baby

box for Banishment, a card game

Banishment was good though, and I think that's the end of my #migw

#gcap was amazing

#pax Friday was nice to see some peeps that weren't at gcap, but wow I'm exhausted now

rulebook with small, very, very small, font

amazing font size choice

player card from street illegal, a 2002 card game

for each track card all players first execute phase 1 together, then they execute phase 2 together and then phase 3 together for the same track card

player in front executes this phase first - somewhat contradicting the previous stanza

this game predates chatgpt by 20 years

"for each track card all players first execute phase 1 together, then they execute phase 2 together and then phase 3 together for the same track card"

then

"phase 1: player in front executes this phase first - all others follow front to back"

Melbourne and its people are forever maligned by a bunch of whingers that the herald sun and age insist on hiring to tell us how bad we have it or how bad we are.

Remember when Dutton claimed people were too scared to go out to dinner in Melbourne? Fantasy land shit.

new james bond looks like the planet of the bass guy

better to be an unc coded nephew than a neph coded unc

these are great and they seem to come and go for some reason I can't fathom

much like how they sporadically show timing and tire information or just the order during a race

I usually resort to second screening the timing screen

can't like this a second time, unfortunately

ebbs and flows, it will come back

focus on what gives to you now, you'll enjoy it all the more later

At my accountant's office for annual tax stuff and there's a slideshow playing of the usual services, tax, debt, small business, etc but it's interspersed with photos of the boss and his wife with Doctor Phil, Charlie Sheen, and Mel Gibson?

this + q cigarette that's good for you would improve my life near infinitely compared to "AI"
