All the Epstein emails are powerful elites saying shit like “Hello my friend the pedophile, i need your advice as a pedophile, what do you think about this other pedophile? Pedophilic Regards, your Friend ;)” and instead of swinging from a gibbet most of them are still writing op-eds against leftism

this was something i noticed in my earlier experiments with gpt - while it could undoubtedly generate a large volume of material, it felt like there was always a fundamental disrespect for the reader's time, like a post that goes on way too long to almost make a point but not quite and then forgets.

ah, computers...

I’m starting to think this Jeffrey Epstein guy was up to no good

do you mean to imply that such a website presently exists?

probably. that or maybe flying cars or fusion power or some other sci fi plot device they've mistaken for a prophecy.

We had enough information to know he was Like This when we knew what he had said on the Access Hollywood tape. "If you're a star they let you do it" is about imposition of his will on someone who doesn't have the ability to provide consent, because they're intimidated by his wealth and status.

kind of loving the cube design for an all-digital console.

wasn't a fan of having a disc tray on the top of the gamecube because you still need that extra space above the already tallish console in order to open it up. makes more sense for digital-only consoles, i think.

a little shocking but not surprising considering how script-enabled Blender is.

much like how Excel is often used as a vector for attacks, anything sufficiently powerful and popular and with read/write access to your stuff can be a potential source of security threats.

think i read something like this once on a fortran cookie

asking because "sweet teeth" sounds like some kind of candyland xenomorph also i have not had my morning coffee yet

Stupid question for grammar nerds: if a group of people all each have a sweet tooth, does the group have sweet teeth or sweet tooths or how is one supposed to say that?

some hillybilly who hates cities, apparently

technology that makes people more productive is inherently used to perpetuate capitalism, that’s why I make videogames, technology that makes people less productive

This is what I try to always tell people: food banks can do way more with your money than you can, due to bulk buying deals. And they can do way, way more with your money than with the canned goods you didn’t want to eat

a tech worker likely has pretty good health insurance and therefore should have little issue finding a decent therapist to work this stuff out well away from the public eye.

*attractive to investors still caught up in the AI bubble hype and not thinking countercycally ;)

UX or “user experience” design means stealing your wallet, with computers.

speaking of which, my fridge is getting kinda full of candy and i still haven't figured out how to exercise in this new place. if any of my mutuals in seattle want some free candy, please come and take it off my hands.

🤷‍♂️i figure it's at least a semi-healthy/useful usage of a candymaking hobby. i don't even really eat candy that much. i'm just fascinated with the process of making it.

brown rice hulls contain some protein. an enzyme is used to separate it from the carby parts of the rice grain.

i feel obligated to do actual protein peanut butter cups next.

an update: tastes like reeses peanut butter cup.

protein. from rice. and some vanilla flavoring.

A LOT of industry folks need to take "I think there's a very high possibility that this is all a bunch of horseshit" to HEART.

a whole block of raw protein bar resting on a sheet of parchment paper on a wood block cutting board with a long serrated edged knife off to the side

eight freshly-cut protein bars on a sheet of parchment paper on a wood block cutting board with a long serrated edge knife off to the side. some of the bars are a little broken, but the cut pieces otherwise still mostly intact.

a large baking dish lined with parchment paper with a bunch of protein bars covered with semi-solid cooling melted chocolate. about half of the bars have broken apart in the dipping process, which ended up having to be more like icing a cake as the melted chocolate in the pan got used up.

made some protein bars

I really hope I never attract the attention of Joyce Carol Oates, Kendrick Lamar, or menswear guy.

if they added sql queries to this thing holy shit
