The Nobel prizes have been highly problematic for a long time (misogyny, racism) but this really takes the cake.
If they can't vet nominees properly they should shut it down.
Give the money to charity.

Trump officials were told that cutting aid to South Sudan would exacerbate a deadly cholera epidemic. -- They did so anyway.
Aid Charade: Even as lifesaving programs closed in South Sudan, Rubio and other officials maintained they were still active and that no one had died. -- We found that wasn’t true.
A Surging Outbreak: After the funding cuts, cases in South Sudan spiked. -- It’s the worst cholera epidemic in the country’s history.

Tried to make a square shape New York Cheesecake for the first time yesterday. It was meant to be shared at a party and I thought it would be easier to share in smaller pieces. It came out good I think. The base was solid enough to get the out of the pan. I also properly caramelized the top of the base so it doesn't soak as quickly

I love it when @… goes on long nerd dives on YouTube and the topic of his latest video focuses on why #Jesus is traditionally depicted with long hair.
An icing on the cake is that early in the video he donated $250 to
Have kids so that one day you too may contemplate leftover cake completely stripped of its frosting.

I keep thinking about working from a coffee shop... but what is the etiquette?
For example...
How much coffee and cake do I need to consume for every hour I am there?
Do I go for some kind of coffee crawl, moving from coffee shop to coffee shop, buying a drink from each one, staying for 30 mins or so?
I will be buzzing after the first couple of hours 😅
Co-working spaces are so very expensive... the one I used to go to didn't survive lockdown.

Changing the name to mangowm almost kept me from using it. Looking forward to a geek-out with maomao (the original name) today. From what I read it can combine tiling and scrolling. A short compile on Slackware was a piece of cake; advantage of the kitchensink is that all prerequisites are already installed.

Not sure about other places, but for those contributing, the PVD food drive we're contributing to says the things they are most short on are:
- cooking oil
- instant mashed potatoes
- instant coffee
- instant cake mix
(Unsurprisingly, food pantries are full of canned goods…)
Some Oklahoma 3-time Trump voter MAGAt who’s not happy that his small town gubmint is secretly negotiating to build a large data center on recently annexed farmland: I don’t care how much chocolate you put on a dog turd, it don’t make it chocolate cake.
De cake is de oven uit. Ik hoop dat hij gelukt is. Daar twijfel ik over, doordat hij minstens tien minuten te lang in de oven heeft gestaan, want ik was afgeleid toen het signaal klonk. We gaan het zien en proeven. #foodtoot
This quote encapsulates some of my thinking about AI and knowledge creators, language communities: '"Inclusive institutions" reward you for baking more cake. Inclusive institutions like the rule of law, contracts, and open competition ensure that if you invest, you will reap the rewards.
"Extractive institutions" are how elites grab instead of bake cake.
They siphon state revenues, seize assets, block competition, smother innovation, centralise power, explo…
I saw an article about how good the food options are that are associated with churches. So I went to a Vietnamese place called O BACH across the road from Bunnings in Tuggeranong and had a pretty nice banh mi. Nice crispy bun!
Apologies, I neglected to photograph my food before it disappeared into my cake hole.

Since it's this time of the year again, let me once more plug my Elisen Lebkuchen recipe, a delicious German cake tradition for the advent/winter time (sadly only if you're not allergic to nuts or honey):

Almond Cake Recipe
1.5 cups of Almond Flour
0.5 Cups of Sugar

1 tsp of baking powder
0.5 tsp Salt
1 tablespoon of flavoring (vanilla, rum, etc.)
Pretty good stuff.
I ran a #paranoia game for my eldest and their friends yesterday. The party made it to outfitting before they lost their first two clones although there was quite a lot of random laser fire in the transport to the mission briefing before that.
Everyone seemed to have fun although I'm sure the cake helped ;-)

my mommy made me a cheeseccake from an old cookbook she got 50 years ago on a trip to the USA which young me subsequently doodled on said cheesecake page.
we are figuring i was trying to write "only make on my 48th Birthday" 🎉

Not surprised. I found stuff that looked great. I am fairly experienced at baking and part of them didn't turn out. Going over them afterwards I should have clued in on the temperatures for the candies. I have made fudges and candies for decades and thought maybe they knew something that I didn't. They turned out to be almost as runny as cold syrup and will be used as a topping for fruit cake with ice cream.
Why did I have to take a closer look to find the cherry on the cake for my report???
Now the case I'm working on... which I planned to finish before lunch today ... will haunt me for another ~3 months 😩

Kid2 and I are going to pitch Hallmark a sure-fire Christmas hit: Unsilent Night. It's the zombie apocalypse BUT the (chosen) people survive using their bountiful Christmas decorations - lights to electrocute, a full-sized shepherd's crook to bludgeon - to defeat the hordes of undead while surviving for years on homemade fruit cake that replenishes them body and, thanks to their mothers' immaculate love, soul.
