  • It doesn’t look very authentic but it’s within tolerances. Even a bad banh mi is still a good sandwich.

    Carrots, onions, cilantro, mayo/butter on a baguette. That’s the essential base line. The savory components can be highly variable. Maybe some hot or sweet peppers.



  • That definitely happens but I was thinking about intentional wilting. You take a few cups of boiling water and pour it into the cut veg. You let it sit for a few minutes and then you drain it off. It’s the style used in every Mexican restaurant I found on the east coast of the United States. You’ll never find it on the west coast. Over there they want their cabbage is crispy as can be to add crunch to their fish tacos. It’s more of a condiment there and more of a side dish on the East Coast.

    But it is Margarita season. I just bought some lime Gatorade. I might have to buy some tequila.





  • The techbros are one of the major driving forces behind the coup currently capturing the US government.

    Thus the paradox of the government shutting down this release.

    I think you entirely missed the point about the power going out. Yet, still, your reply proved exactly what I was getting at. This is much bigger than both the unregulated release of AI and the government putting its foot down on the throat of those releasing these threats.

    The whole vibe of your comment feels like it missed what I was saying.





  • The Trump administration just told a company they needed pull their new product. More government interference with private companies? A rational concern and appropriate national security response?

    Will the tech bros rebel? I know people that were actively developing with Fable and experienced the shutdown in real time.

    Are you in favor of the government telling a company to pull a product? Should AI models have to go through some kind of government sanity certification before release? Would you feel different about it if your alarm didn’t go off tomorrow because an American company’s AI enabled a foreign nation to shut down the cellular networks and power grid?


  • Great news. I bought a house and the septic tank passed an inspection. A few months later something was bothering me. My spidey sense was tingling. I called out someone to check the septic tank. They pulled off the cement cap and the 1940 brick and mortar wall of the septic tank moved 3 inches. Oh, and there was an inch between the water and the cap.

    That hunch paid off. Disaster avoided. $7000 later I had a new septic tank and I had them put in a new leach field into the front yard instead of the back yard for livestock reasons.

    The lesson here is that this whole situation can be fixed for less than $10,000. It worked for me so it has to work for the whole internet, right?





  • Our little meat shop (not really a butcher) sells more Angus ribeye than literally any other retailer in America. It’s not just the best deal in [my middle of nowhere] town. It’s the best deal possible.

    My idea of an extravagant date means getting a hotel in a place likely to get hit by a hurricane. I’m not a role model.
