Ah yes, White Christmas. That episode fucked me up. It’s a depiction of hell, straight up. And heaven is depicted similarly in San Junipero - not sure if you have seen that one.

Oh hey, that was easy. I guess they have nothing to hide after all!

Yeah, was gonna say - this guy is another one of the “always, in every context, thinking about gay sex” closeted Republicans. Religion does this to them, the systematic and merciless repression of sexuality causes it to become an immense burden.

Lemmy After Dark^TM

Well. Robin Williams, a (hilarious) American comedian and actor, gained much of his early fame/notoriety on a TV show called Mork and Mindy circa 1978 in which Robin played an alien named Mork.

The show was actually a spinoff of Happy Days, where the “Mork” character first appeared.

“Bjork and Bindi” is clearly a play on words that leverages this.

I barely managed to understand this and I am from this era.

Can someone explain to me why Rust enthusiasts are so evangelical about it? I get that it’s memory safe, OK - super great. But rewriting a stable, small-but-important legacy tool doesn’t seem like a good place to prove its worth. Surely there are a million better places? And yet when I heard about this, it totally seemed to track. I’ve never touched Rust but I already find its proponents to be strangely focused on it. I never felt such religious zeal with regard to a programming language.

The most common response on social media to the democracy crisis in the USA seems to default to a need for extreme violence.

I know there are actual people like this, but I do think it’s mostly foreign bots beating the war drums. It happens here too, though far less than on Reddit.

In the age of LLMs, it’s pretty well guaranteed that it’s going to be far worse than described in a study from five years ago. Anecdotally, it feels to me like closer to half if not more of the responses I get are engagement bait. It’s not just corpo, a lot of it is government trolls trying to shape opinion, domestic government and foreign governments. I don’t post anymore at all - just read - and that only in my very niche communities that aren’t likely to be targeted for this kind of bullshit.

Are people having a hard time remembering this? I sure don’t. If there’s any hilarity to be found in any of this, he’s going to get fucked anyway.

Lemme know how it goes! Be aware, not all Hatch chiles are spicy, you can get them in mild or hot to your liking, obviously, I prefer hot. But then again, I actually get them from Hatch, NM once every few years and freeze them.

Sure thing.

1 lb pork shoulder
32 oz water
4 tsp chicken bouillon granules
1 can (14oz) petite diced tomatoes
1 cup of roasted/peeled hatch peppers diced (or 1 cup prepackaged/canned diced)
2 Tbs fresh lime juice
1 tsp tomato paste
1/2 tsp ground pepper
1/4 tsp each paprika, garlic powder, onion powder and cumin
2 Tbs corn starch/2 Tbs water slurry

Directions: Cube pork into 1" cubes and add to deep soup pan over a burner on high. Allow pork to cook through on high heat, allowing it to carmelize and render out a good percentage of the fat (remove rendered fat or leave it in for as decadent as you like it). Deglaze with about 1/4 cup of the water and scrape well to get all the bits loose. Add the rest of the ingredients (except the corn starch/water slurry). Bring everything to a boil, then turn heat to medium/low. Simmer for one hour, until the pork chunks break down. Use a masher to stringify the pork and distribute it throughout. Add 2 tbs corn starch/2 tbs water slurry to boiling mixture at the end and stir to thicken. Allow to cook uncovered for 15 more minutes.

Edit: Finished product looks like this. Apologies in advance for the American measures, lol.

Hatch Green Chile Pepper Soup. It’s cheap, fabulous and spicy. The Hatch green chilis are the star of course, but it also has pork, bouillon, diced tomatoes/tomato paste, lime juice, and spices.

Somebody needs to have a word with Ohio.

I have a copy of the first edition of “The Internet for Dummies.” It’s worthless, just like the Internet.

Explain how this is disingenuous though.

I had downloaded the full (no pictures) Wikipedia earlier this year for exactly this reason. This thread told me about kiwix, which is awesome, so I downloaded the “Wikipedia .08” using kiwix, which is the best 45,000 articles from Wikipedia with pictures and it’s 7G, very manageable, has most topics anyone would care about.

I mean, this is really probably the best use I can think of for AI slop, let’s give credit where it is due.
