To be fair, its probably pretty hard to stay ahead of the curve when your format is limited to “guy in kitchen / bar makes food / drink from relevant pop culture series / movie”

That said, completely agree on Babish. Dude tried to grow his channel way too aggressively and burned out I think. Went from uploading a main video every week to showing up once a month at most, with regular uploads mostly featuring other people.

AvE.

He used to be a bulwark against idiocy and koolaid drinkery, advocating for calmness and common sense.

…and then he called Justin Trudeau a Nazi and bought into vaccine skepticism.

Asking the real question.

That’s brilliant.

You know how once in a blue moon you look at news story that’s sounds completely crazy and go “huh”? Like when buzzfeed suddenly started using all their clickbait money to fund good, legitimate journamism?

This would be that.

That’s the important bit that everybody is missing:

Apple has suspended work on the second-generation Vision Pro headset to singularly focus on a cheaper model

Clicking through to the paywalled article, the headlines reads as follows:

Apple Suspends Work on Next Vision Pro, Focused on Releasing Cheaper Model in Late 2025.

I am as unoptimistic on the future of VR as everybody else here, but can we please leave the nuance in? Apple are not turning the key on VR, at least not yet, they are simply doing the predicable thing that everybody said their would: Release a VR headset that isn’t targeted at developers only.

Guilty as charged

Congress is the opposite of Progress.

That’s why it starts with Con.

Sure, will you call the it admin where I work and tell him I’m switching?

I want to switch to Linux just as much as you, but at work I have literally zero influence over this. Private OS choice and enterprise / corporate are very different things, and businesses refusing to switch away from Windows is a very big reason why Microsoft’s behaviour lately is a big deal.

OP asked for uses other than gsming.

This is the right answer, in my opinion.

If you are of the pants with pockets wearing disposition, then whichever side of the phone faces down will inevitably end up filled with dust and lint. Having both ports on the same side makes this a trivial problem.

I get you, but don’t worry. There is plenty of thing happening before the end.

I highly recommend the series!

The first book, Hyperion, is written in the same style as The Canterbury Tales, featuring an ensemble of protagonists on a pilgrimage to a holy site known as the Time Tombs. On the journey, they each take turns telling the tale of why they were chosen for the pilgrimage.

Interesting! That sounds like it could have inspired The Shrike from Dan Simmons Hyperion series.

What about a technology permit, so you’re only allowed to develop technologized products if you get a permit from the Ministry of Proprietary Technology.

Eggs.

We can do better than that. What about dual wielding guitars?

Huh. That is honestly brilliant.

Makes me want to play a sort of Hunter S. Thompson druid. He had seen the promises of a better world that the hippie culture in San Francisco in the 60s was all about, and for the rest of his life resented politicians, and by example Nixon, for destroying.

That’s awesome.

I’m in Denmark (so close to Germany) and we usually have the Danish variety of Gluwein, Glögg, multiple times throughout December.

I can totally relate to not being much into traditional Christmas cooking. My family isn’t either, so we try something new every year.

That sounds awesome.

You gotta give us the story of how it came to be.

Tacos and Gluwein are spectacularly, gloriously far apart culinarily.

How did you come to having a middle American dish with a northern European beverage?

I bought a Cooler Master Stacker 810 back in 07 almost exclusively because it could fit two PSUs. All the cool kids over at XtremeSystems were doing so teenage me thought I should as well.

I never got around to needing another PSU, but I did learn to jump start an ATX PSU, and I still have the case.
