I used just about every chilli I had at home for this chilli oil - Dry red teja, guntur, chilli flakes, fresh green chilli, gochugaru powder, kashmiri red chilli powder + some black pepper. I started with sampling teja and guntur chilli, drinking rose milk, feeling my face sweat. Worth the time 🍜🌶🌶
A stainless steel mixing bowl with red chilli oil with crispy garlic bits floating around on the surface of the oil. Top view of chilli oil bottled in a glass jar with crispy garlic bits and two large fried chilli floating on the surface and a stainless steel mixing bowl in the background. A white fish with egg fried rice on a black kitchen counter.  You can see a lot of fried egg pieces interspersed throughout the rice  along with spring onion. On top of the rice are some pieces of brown crispy fried garlic. A steel fork rests agains the side of the bowl, it's tined edges inside the rice. 

In the background is a glass bottle of homemade chilli oil with a blurry handwritten white label. To the left of the dish you can see the edge of another plate with egg fried rice.

I can see why the billionaires have been trying to hoard more and more in an exponential manner, they obviously knew about this before we plebs got to find out.

A picture of a 3-inch anti-generative AI rainbow holographic sticker with a formline design on it. The design has a black border with sparkles lining it. Text within the border reads “you cannot automate the human experience.” The formline design depicts a decapitated robot head with vacant eyes. Next to it are two ravens, with one raven perched on the head with a piece of the robot’s antenna in its beak.

Someone asked why Emily Bell attacks her authors like this. All I can say from what happened to me is she decides that anyone who disagrees with her is her enemy. And once you disagree with her on one thing, she lies and manufactures an entire web of things you didn't do. 8/

Three panel comic. Panel 1: underwater ocean camera view of a whale fall on the sea floor, with various bottom feeders and weird fishes crawling around the decomposing remains. Off panel, someone says, “hang on a second…” Panel 2: the speaker is a member of a marine biologist crew, remotely viewing the video footage from a computer monitor. The biologist is leaning against his colleague’s chair. He continues, “pan the camera back.” Panel 3: Back underwater, the POV shifts to the other end of the whale carcass. There’s a large spider crab with a standing just off to the side. It has a human face in a neutral expression, and is wearing glasses. The marine biologist says, “I think I went to high school with that guy.”

For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme #BestBeaks, the well-known double-beaked sacred ibis 😜.
Two sacred ibis stand on top of a thorny acacia one in front of the other, looking in different directions so that it appears as one bird with two beaks.

Probably the most gorgeous pain de mie I have made till now. Look at all the straight edges! 😍 #breadsky #baking #whatscooking
Photograph from the side of a freshly baked pullman loaf, resting on a metal grill for cooling. Same bread  photographed from the side to show the length of the loaf. You can see parallel line texture imprinted from the pan it was baked in. It's resting on a metal grill on a dark stone slab.

Now that the bread has rested overnight, here's a picture of the crumb. :D Lunch today: green bean sandwiches! #breadsky #lunch #sandwich #whatscooking #baking
A couple slices of bread kept in a white pasta dish. The soft white crumb can be seen clearly in the dissfused light. In the blurry background there is the remainder of the still substantial loaf, with white crumb and dark brown crust. A green bean patty with brown spots resting on the bread slice with brown crust. It's kept on a light brown wooden chopping board on the kitchen black kitchen counter.

GenAI seems to be marketed towards folks who would like to or need to upskill but cannot (for whatever reason) while those who use it possibly cannot see how it effectively deskills and/or infantilises them.

As someone quite familiar with how genAI works, that being not quite my own professional specialty but very closely adjacent, it is not an appropriate or useful tool for almost anything, especially not consumer-facing applications
