It’s too socialistic by the standards of capitalists and has been run out of most cooking schools. It’s occasionally taught as an ‘alternative’ recipe, but for some reason, despite rendering a better pizza, it’s never widely adopted.

I think the joke is that might be AP style pizza.

In the U.S. milk comes in half gallon and gallon measures, which look like your 2L and 3L containers, respectively.

Sometimes you will find milk in waxed paper cartons, but that is not the norm. (It’s very common, however, for dairy products that are often bought by pint and quart — typically half and half, heavy cream, or coffee creamers.) Our fancier non-dairy creamers tend to be in tetrapaks or cartons, with less expensive (or at least distributed in higher volumes) creamers in plastic bottles.

I completely missed the water and the curtain because I was distracted that she kind of looks pregnant and focused on trying to figure out the meaning with that.

It’s okay! You can buy an upgrade to use a stainless steel milk tube! 😒

It also has you pour coffee syrups into a little plastic dispenser so you have to clean that, too.

It appears there’s some sort of cleaning mode where you let the machine heat water into to a specially shaped tub that fits across the drip tray, where you also stick the siphon end of the milk tube. But it looks like the dirty milk water is ejected into the drip tray tub, so your wash starts off with clean boiling water before beginning to reuse cooled, dirty water.

Also, what’s the wisdom on encouraging customers to keep dairy at room temperature? You know people are just going to forget the dairy container on their counter. It’s like they tried to stand out but all their features add more complexity and failure points than solved problems.

I’ve been manipulated by people who do it on purpose, and it really screws with one’s threat response. (Especially if the manipulation occurred during formative years.)

I have to make an intentional effort to coach myself through these situations to have an appropriate level of empathy. It’s really fucking hard not to sound like an asshole sometimes - and really easy for others to misunderstand me because they don’t have the same frame of reference.

It can be pretty annoying. We wind up creating extranet sites or using other services. (We have some ftp-like file services that work for us.)

Yeeeaahh… At my org our default security policy for all of our site collections prevents sharing outside of our domain, and requires managed devices to access our SharePoint.
To share things outside of our org via SharePoint, a site collection with a different security policy has to be created, and only admins can control the sharing. We can only share with people who have some sort of identity service that can federate with ours.
No user is granted above contribute access, and sharing is turned off. (People can share links, but they cannot change the permissions of an item to share it.).
Theoretically it’s possible that a SharePoint can be created that allows public access, but to my knowledge we do not do that.

OneDrive files cannot even be downloaded by external parties (although they can be viewed in the browser!), and Teams workspaces are also not accessible externally unless by special circumstance.

I would imagine the federal government is… well, hopefully at least as locked down as my work.

You don’t accidentally publish the list.

At very large organizations, sharing files easily is a pain in the ass. The available tools are usually tied to your Active Directory, which means you have to know who you’re sharing with, or at least have some idea of what permission groups allow what access.

To share documents appropriately, you still have to do the hard work of finding out who and what permission groups you should be sharing with, even if that means coordinating with other IT teams to make sure you understand their permissions structures properly.

Or you half-ass it, and put the document somewhere public and hope the link doesn’t get shared beyond your control (or found).

I guess I’m saying it’s not intimidation, accident, or resistance — just laziness and stupidity. Both of which are not unfamiliar ground for this administration.

When asked a question.

Interesting idea! I’ve CC’d 2 additional people for their thoughts and linked to a reference page on the intranet that no one will read.

Everyone nods at one another until their heads fall off. No one does any work or makes any decisions.

You could possibly DoorDash some river water to your home. (I don’t know how DoorDash works.)

But then it won’t be free. Hm. Foiled by capitalism!

Just like eroding every possible freedom to ‘protect’ people from terrorists and children from pedophiles. Irony is dead.

Misleading post. OP bought a teleporter.

I’ve long humored the idea of ballistic fried chicken.
Fired from a giant cannon, friction cooks it to perfection on its way to you. Sadly, the math and materials science just aren’t on my side. You’d need to be very precise to avoid overcooking, or accidentally pulping the chicken with too high of a muzzle velocity (because then you just have a soup gun). And like, you’d have to have some sort of sabot that disintegrates into edible spices.

Even if you could figure out delivery (and not wind up with it arriving embedded with smog or STARLINK satellites) there’s still the matter of receipt without destroying homes.

That’s actually my fault.

I stole all their catalytic converters to pay a lobbying group to get the local politicians to fund mass transit. Instead the batards passed vaguely worded noise ordinances that get selectively enforced by so-called public servants to target certain groups.
Sorry about that.

Tiny Batman is not taking the divorce well. At first he thought losing the tiny mansion and being forced to downsize from Twayne Manor (Tiny Wayne Manor) out in the burbs to this high-rise apartment would put him closer to the action downtown. A refreshing life change after all that’s happened.
However, his neighbors yell at each other all day long while he’s trying to sleep, and seem to have even more sensitive hearing than him during the nighttime quiet periods. He can’t rush out the door because every slam or even loud footfalls seems to trigger a call to building management. He’s even gotten calls about his scanner radio being too loud, no matter how softly he plays it.
Most nights he just sits on the balcony, quietly listening to the scanner and drinking. Anti-suicide netting makes it impossible to just glide down to street level with his bat wings and the elevator takes so long that by the time he gets to the Tiny Bat Mobile, most vics are dead and the perps are long gone. More and more, he just turns the radio off, drinks until he staggers over to his pee spot, and then stumbles over to fall asleep with his back against a stack of bottles - he knows they’ll keep him safe from the memories that are trying to sneak up on him.

I was going to ask “What’s your point?” but then I realized that this post isn’t even anti-AI.

The text of this post highlights anticompetitive business practices that have nothing to do with OpenAI’s business model.
Straight up - they can’t even use the silicon wafers.

This is just market manipulation to harm their competition and possibly engage in stock market fuckery. (Micron, which stands to make billions, is largely owned by U.S. based wealth management companies.)

OpenAI and its business partners stand atop a massive bubble that they are desperate to not have pop. I’m horrified, but kind of impressed at the maneuver.

You’re throwing stones in the wrong direction.

It’s one of those thought terminating statements that people throw out to disingenuously “win” arguments on the internet.

Your post was useful and interesting. The image accompanying it was not, but it doesn’t change the information relayed.

OnlyFans has steadfastly maintained that it is not explicitly a pornographic site. I imagine if a ruling went out that every tipped interaction on the site was considered pornography, they would step in on behalf of the content creators to try to whittle that down to case-by-case rulings, for no other reason than PR alone.

Tipping into the silly now…

I can’t wait until someone issues a FOIA for the deliberations over whether certain things are pornographic or not.
