@qurlyjoe@mstdn.social#muddledMaunderings of a doddering fool. Caveat Emptor. In which an old dog teaches himself a new trick. Mrs Joe and I grew up with gas stoves in our homes, and cooked for 40 years on our own gas stove. Nine years ago we bought this house and an electric stove with a glass top. I’ve been cleaning the stovetop 4-5 times a week, depending on how splashy whatever we’ve been making was, so,…
@nelson@tech.lgbtExcellent dinner of Fabada Asturiana, Spain's answer to cassoulet. Bean stew with cuts of delicious fatty pork sausage and something like bacon. This one was served with beans and meats cooked separately which was a really nice touch, kept the flavors distinct. Very satisfying with good pork.
@Demirramon@cyberfurz.socialI was certain my Index was about to die and it just... fixed itself? What.
I've been seeing random pixels all over the screens (especially in dark areas) for a while now. This was the reason I had to replace the cable once, as right after this it got a lot worse and it straight up started to malfunction, cut the audio, flip the screens, crash, etc, so I thought I was cooked.
@stefan@gardenstate.socialWow. I missed that Lynn Biyendolo has been in the content mines for the last 6 months making a cooking show with her husband.

@migueldeicaza@mastodon.socialOne reason why La Terminal doesn’t encourage tmux for session preservation or mosh is their low fidelity terminal rendering, so I use a tiny “keep the session open” instead. It is a small binary I bundle with LaTerminal.
To get the best of both worlds, I cooked my own “tmux” built on top of headless SwiftTerm, so I get high fidelity rendering - but deploying it seems like an uphill battle:
@rasterweb@mastodon.social"I am the programming equivalent of a home cook."
I have talked about it for programming and making, this idea that it can be for personal enrichment, and even mental health, and always thinking about the things you produce in a capitalist/consumer context can be... not great.

@tante@tldr.nettime.orgI don't understand how - as a technologist - you can be so cooked that you run Moltbot and the likes.
On the other hand: It's fair that now not only the people exposed to Slack or Office365 get bad software but also the people building those kinds of hot messes.

@sean@scoat.esI've never seen this outside of my family in the wild (some research shows there are other people online who've made it/have recipes).
We make “turkey roll" with leftover turkey dinner. I chop turkey, veggies, and stuffing up into small pieces, fry up some fresh onions celery garlic, and stuff it into biscuit dough, then bake.
It gets a "sauce" of either leftover extra-thickened gravy or a béchamel-ish white sauce. It's pretty tasty and the fresh bi…

@hex@kolektiva.socialSo in another dream I just woke up from, I was talking to someone about "the idea problem" (that it's becoming harder to monitize ideas, from a vox article written by an AI cooked reporter).
https://www.iheart.com/podcast/105-it-could-happen-here-30717896/episode/executive-disorder-white-house-weekly-46-313675864/
Basically, I was arguing that the majority of inventions target men because patriarchy puts economic control in men's hands. As men have started to help more with childcare, there have been more inventions related to childcare. (I don't have any idea if this is true. Seems legit, but I'm just relating my dream. I think I was also oversimplifying a bit to "men" and "women" because of my audience, but anyway it was a dream.) There's actually more low-hanging fruit, I pointed out, related to making care work easier.
So I argued that the real problem was a failure to invest in research into solving that problem. Today there are all these boondoggles built around killing people. What if, instead of all this government research into killing people, we dumped a ton of money into making it easier to support a household? That would be great for the economy. (Being asleep, I seem to have forgotten that working people need money.)
In the blur of being just awake I started thinking about how you could kickstart the US economy by taking the money from the AI boondoggle and other autonomous murder bots and create something like a program to build robots for housekeepers. You'd still be funding tech with government money, so the same horrible people get paid, but you're now actually solving real problems. It wouldn't even matter if it was a boondoggle, honestly. Just dumping money into something other than murdering people is good enough.
I imagined first if there was a program to fund a robot housecleaner, like robot dog with AI some laundry pickup, that would be provided, free of charge, to help people with children. It would work the same as the military boondoggle where a private company makes the government buy a piece of hardware from them and then also pay them to service it for some number of years. But instead of that hardware sitting around waiting to kill someone, it would be getting brought to people's houses to help them.
Then I thought, hey, you could even boost the economy more if you just had government funding for doulas and housecleaners and paid them a living wage. Hey, you could really kickstart the economy by nationalizing healthcare and including doula support as part of all births. Oh, and you could also just include the optional household help for families with children until the kids turn 18.
None of this is perfect (I don't actually think most of this is possible from any state), but the point is that it's actually wildly easy to figure out all kinds of ways to invest in the economy and monitize ideas as long as you aren't entirely focused on the same old "make money from spying on people and killing them." Funny that. Like they said in the podcast, maybe "finding ideas" isn't the problem.
Hope you enjoyed the weird semi-awake brain dump/rant.

@rasterweb@mastodon.socialI used the recipe from Sally's Baking Addiction (using cooked.wiki) and they turned out great!
Nice crispy tops, though I had about half of the brown sugar/cinnamon mix left, as it seemed like way too much.
I didn't have sour cream or plain yogurt but I did have blueberry yogurt, so that seemed appropriate. I used oat milk because that's all we have in the house.
I normally do not use liners but I did this time.
@castarco@hachyderm.ioWe are cooked.
We were always a problem for the ones above: we had the opportunity to enjoy high levels of education, access to relatively free & unpolluted knowledge, and welfare systems that worked relatively well for at least half of our lifes.
That was unacceptable, and "AI" is here to fix that.
Big Tech and their fascist friends have convinced many among our younger generations about the idea that "AI" (in its current form) is cool, amazing, necessary, and unstoppable.
We can resist all we want, except it's not our resistance that matters, but the resistance of the younger ones who haven't finished their formal studies yet.
Mozilla's CEO knows it... so he'll happily contribute to dumb us down as much as possible (before anyone has time to react) to ensure that we don't bother ever again the fragile sensibilites of his friends, our capitalist overlords.

@nemorosa@mastodon.nu"Tjälknöl" (literally "Frost Lump"), the Swedish art of breaking all culinary rules to create the perfect cold cut.
How: Take a rock-hard frozen joint of moose. Place it directly into a cool oven (approx. 75°C–100°C) and roast overnight. Plunge the hot meat into a cold, salty brine after it’s cooked.
Result:
The meat is hot (the brine is cold) and drinks up the salty, spiced liquid like a sponge. You get incredibly tender, cured-style slices that melt in…

Totally normal. Small mistakes happen and all that.
If you looked at Microsoft's recent numbers it was very obvious how they cooked their books. That's just industry practice.
