This soup sign at one of the local dives is better than AI

The glass entry door of a local bar-restaurant that has various shoddy signs on it including a hand-written one that says "soup" and a child-level drawing of a hot bowl of soup that is still better than an AI-generated sign

and then you can do win + shift + left to throw it back to the primary display. i just discovered this because i've been playing a game called Hades and I couldn't get it out of fullscreen mode so I could drag it over to the second screen. this solved that problem

did you guys know about the keyboard shortcut Windows key + shift + right when using a second display? it immediately throws the active window you're on over to the second display. this is 1000x better than clicking on the top of the window and dragging it over to the second display & maximizing it

there's a local on this season of Survivor (Angelica 'Jelly' Loblack) and she had a watch party for tonight's episode and it was a full house, very loud and celebratory for her successes, and honestly super fun

I rarely order in anymore since everything's so expensive, but I had a promo code for a large % off so I was excited to use it on some Indian food tonight. The "good" Indian place wasn't participating, so I ordered from one of the others. Now I'm just disappointed & sad. Lesson: pivot, don't settle.

Every last one of these hogs thinks pointing out child murder is thousands of times worse than murdering Palestinian children. A just society would send men like this naked into the wilderness.

I just want access to the stuff I buy that is as unfettered as my access to the stuff I steal is

To be clear I do steal other videos (movies and tv shows) all the time

i've graduated to downloading internet videos via command line prompt (comedy shows I've paid for that can only be streamed for a week or two etc etc). it feels cool to be able to do it but that this is the only/best way and i am being made to feel i'm "stealing" or something sucks

my tech disassembles my machine every time to air it out. meanwhile i pay your tech under the table to sabotage your door seals by poking a couple of discrete holes in them. there's water getting inside your machine in complicated places every time bro. sorry to give you this news 🙏

@weiss-a-woni.bsky.social Ethan, I'm asking you bc I refuse to ask AI: in light of Pablo Torre's recent investigations into the Clippers/Kawhi Leonard and Mark Walter and the Trump syndicate, is it legal for Governor Braun to have received this diamond encrusted championship ring from IU?

i make this stuff up as i go generally speaking, so i mainly learn by doing, failing, and doing again. next time will be better.

most of the breading was flour and chickpea flour with seasonings but i didn't work it in by hand and that seems necessary to get it all craggy, which would probably make it more crispy. also i can probably skip the egg bath and do like a wet batter bath and then into the dry flour.

100

made a korean-inspired fried chicken sandwich today. it was not as good as it sounded in my mind. I need to work on my breading technique as it's not something I do very often. the breading contained gochugaru and I made a gochujang sauce to toss it in, but there was just no satisfying crunch to it

Isn't this at least her second or third time?

This is pretty fucking wild. I had assumed in a worst case scenario he would target blue zip codes and toss ballots based on technicalities but this is even worse than I imagined.

Not only is this system astonishingly untested, USPS has simultaneously implemented an
impracticable zero percent failure rate.
13 When ballots are submitted to USPS in large-volume
batches, if any one ballot in the batch cannot be verified against the Portal, all ballots in that
batch will be rejected. For example, if a state election official brings a batch of 10,000 ballots to
USPS and USPS is unable to match just one of those ballots against the Portal – because, for
example, someone has recently changed their name after marriage or they’ve moved – then
USPS would refuse to mail the remaining 9,999 ballots as well. As the whistleblower notes,

wrapped it up and it was crazy good. i didn't take a pic, but i'll try to next time. i might like to make some pickled or sumac red onions and put those in as well, plus a squeeze of lemon/lime. i feel like if i can cook good, fresh stuff like this more consistently i can manage my depression better

...cooked it in a skillet. i was able to scorch it and get some nice fond on the chicken and took it off right at 160* internal and sliced it. took a premade garlic naan, baked it a bit, put the chicken, some sliced cucumber, shredded lettuce, and cilantro in it, & drizzled a cucumber yogurt sauce,

wowie zowie. i have been depressed for a while and as a result haven't been cooking much. i have been REALLY happy with the stuff i have cooked when i've managed to though, and today's edition was a naan wrap. i marinated chicken in yogurt + kashmiri chili powder, sumac, and ten or so other things..

Just had garlic bread with shaved Parmigiano reggiano, pesto, and meatballs on it and it was soooo tasty

I learned about it when I took an elective Zoom-based yoga class in early 2021 (a feeble attempt at managing my physical and mental health during early covid) and the instructor was obsessed with working out the psoas. i thought for sure it was the type of thing a yoga instructor would make up

I have either the same or a similar extension on Firefox, but it is much more aggressive and makes a lot of websites work less well. I have to disable it a lot on a per-website basis which is starting to tip the cost/benefit scale toward cost. wow could this be a more boring thing to post about?

I made the switch from Chrome to Firefox a couple weeks ago because uBlock, my ad blocker extension, had been disabled and pulled from the Chrome extension store. I had another extension on Chrome called "Disable HTML5 autoplay" which disables video autoplay on most websites...

oh and some delicious cold brewed coffee
