Another great one is seitan aka wheat meat, and it’s really cheap if you make it from flour rather than vital wheat gluten. Still pretty cheap if made from vital wheat gluten too.

AI making itself sick is beautiful, honestly. If it was a plot device in a sci-fi show I’d call it too on the nose.

Station Eleven from… Station Eleven is probably there only one that’s been as interesting to me as the story itself, I guess because it’s such a big part of the story and character motivations. The book and show are both good in their own ways, but I particularly like the passage repeated throughout the show:

I remember damage, then escape

Then adrift in a stranger’s galaxy for a long time

But I’m safe now

I found it again, my home

Lmao, did the AI think the end of Trump’s gun was a burnt out cigarette?

The one I have is from REI and made of modal (similar to rayon, made from wood pulp), it’s the only one I’ve used but it feels very nice, soft, and lightweight. I don’t ever feel like I’d be better off not wearing it if I’m in direct sunlight, and sweat dries from it fairly quickly. I’ve been hot while wearing it but not any hotter than I would have been standing in the sun to begin with, you know? I’ve also never had it fail and result in a burn, and my dermatologist was enthusiastic about it when I brought up that I’d been using that instead of sunscreen.

The main reason I went with that brand was because I couldn’t find any non-polyester options anywhere else. There’s nothing wrong with them functionally, I just try to avoid polyester in general.

If you absolutely hate sunscreen for sensory reasons, check out UPF jackets and other clothing. I live in a place where the UV is 11+ every day in the summer and it works great without being suffocatingly hot. Being able to just throw a jacket on and go outside without worrying about sunburn is pretty great.

After close to 6 years of use it’s reaching the end of its useful life. Unless there’s a catastrophic failure or something I plan to use it until it no longer gets updates, which should be some time next year.

Even if you perfectly solve crashes (doubtful, definitely not something that exists right now), the problems of microplastic pollution from tires and emissions from electricity generation are non-trivial.

My husband and I still sometimes call to our cat by going “STIIIIINKYYYY!” in several of the voices Stimpy uses while looking for his fart. (Her name is not Stinky)

I’m more of a sewer than a knitter or crocheter, but I’ve heard AI patterns for knitting and crochet are really bad online now (and an utter waste of yarn and time).

I can see the image you’ve linked. But I do sometimes see comments that seem to be missing an image, while other people respond to it like there’s an image there. No idea if it’s a federation issue or a Voyager issue.

Thanks!

Do you recall the name of it or more about it? All his videos have really generic titles (assuming for algorithm purposes).

This is someone moving furniture to sell I’m pretty sure, not homeless with their only furniture. Unless they have like 6 couches for some reason.

Do you know how much I paid for this gender?? Molon labe 🔫

A bot that just spams the media ratings of some random dude is so incredibly a techbro non-solution to the actual problem of people posting questionable sources. Not only does it not stop people from posting questionable sources to begin with, it creates a bunch of off topic chatter about the rating itself. So now instead of just removing poor sources, poor sources get a comment that probably 90% of people voting aren’t going to see. This is somehow progress, despite changing nothing.

Someone thinking that you kind of look like a Joe Rogan bro until they get to know you is not what I would personally classify as harm.

The best time to start regularly exercising and eating at least moderately healthy food is 10 years ago, the second best time is now.
