[QUESTION] What are you favorite preps/hacks/tricks/recipes involving a freezer?
  • Make pizza dough. Over-develop the gluten a little so it's nice and stretchy. Pull off a bit bigger than a golf ball. Flatten it to 5"x 7". Place two mostly overlapping 3" sandwich-sized pepperoni on one end, fold over the sides, and roll them tight into a burrito-like shape. pinch all the seams shut. Walmart's deli pepperoni are ideal for this. You want something greasy and salty. Now is not the time for low fat or low sodium.

    Cut to deep lines in the top of the rolls (at least 1/4 of the way through) so they can expand and vent when they cook.

    Bake at 400 or airfry and 350 until just barely past blonde.

    If the pepperoni is good, you won't need to add extra salt or seasoning to the dough. The grease form the meat will flow through the dough while it rises. I tried adding red sauce, cheese, ham, mushrooms, sausage, even chicken pesto. Nothing beats sandwich pepperoni and two seem to be the ideal amount.

  • Armed Militia "hunting FEMA" causes hurricane responders to evacuate—report
  • So a militia, comprised of terrorists.... seems fair.

  • Energy companies told to recharge for AI datacenter surge
  • If we ever actually manage to create a artificial general intelligence probably.

    Right now I personally think the worst of it is that companies and governments have called our bluff, and figured out that as a whole we don't care enough to do anything about any of it. They can sell our data, track what and where we watch, shove ads in front of our eyeballs 24x7. Take away our right to protect ourselves legally, we'll just click OK and keep going.

  • Small talk is an essential skill
  • Glad I could be of use.

    The concept behind linear chaos is that the chaos is bound at one point. The theoretical cone of influence can only move in one direction and widen at a set rate. Kind of a mashup of chaos over time.

  • Microsoft Unshipped 27 Bing Search Features.
  • Best I can tell from looking at other sources, They started removing some of the shell integration and at least one of the apps that was shipping with Windows. I suspect now that replay is in full swing they don't need us to talk to the chat anymore, They can directly see what data we're getting from where.

  • can we just have trains already please
  • I used to commute from south of Baltimore to north of Baltimore. My home was five blocks from the light rail station and my work was a couple blocks in the light rail station.

    I drove everyday and hadn't even tried to take the light rail because I already have a car and insurance and why pay another $5 a day too get to and from work.

    My car had a mechanical problem and I didn't have time to fix it so I decided I would go ahead and take the light rail until work slowed down a little and I had time.

    My car ride was right around 35 to 45 minutes. It took me about 10 minutes to walk to the light rail station The train could come anywhere between immediate and 20 minutes out the Baltimore light rail does not run on a set schedule. The train took about 30 minutes to get from my house to the center of town, At which point I had to switch to another train which could then take anywhere between zero and 15 minutes. That train then took about 35 minutes to get to work. Then I had to walk another couple of blocks which took on average about another 10 minutes They were long blocks.

    So instead of losing an hour to an hour and a half everyday I was losing somewhere closer to 3-4 hours. Then on days where there was actually a problem, It might take 4 hours one way, or, God forbid there was a baseball or football game starting or stopping around the time I needed to come through.

    Even where we have public transportation, we barely put forth enough effort to make it viable.

  • Wear OS
  • I have both a three and a four. I have never gotten three days out of my three. I even replaced the battery in it right before work bought me a four. The average battery life for my three and my four is right around 36 hours.

    Now, I get a LOT of notifications so maybe somebody's watch who gets less notifications can go into deeper sleep and is able to sleep longer and stretch that power out. But a lot of people weren't getting 3 days out of there threes.

  • Energy companies told to recharge for AI datacenter surge
  • It hasn't hurt TV sales yet.

  • Potty Training, advice? Ideas? Vent?
  • She's getting there it's not binary. Almost 24x7 were walking around in some constant state of yeah I could pee a little bit. She's just got to find that point where it makes sense to her brain that yeah you should probably go pee now.

  • Potty Training, advice? Ideas? Vent?
  • It's a fairly difficult ask. We're asking them to feel a slow increase in pressure throughout the day and to stop what they're doing and go use the bathroom without having a direct trigger.

    And trying to teach them to use the bathroom at regular intervals without being reminded isn't any easier.

    The first step is for them too feel the emergency and run to the bathroom.

    Then slowly work back from there until they're going to the bathroom when they're transiting between things.

    If they can't figure out the emergency and run to the bathroom, they're not ready yet.

  • Skyrim Lead Designer admits Bethesda shifting to Unreal would lose 'tech debt', but that 'is not the point'
  • Their tech debt for the most part isn't going to be because of the engine. Certainly some of it is. But starting back over and reimagining most of the code base affords them the time and ability to fix problems that make features problematic. As the spiffing Brit likes to point out every one of their titles is absolutely riddled with game breaking bugs. Doing an engine change has the kind of depth required to let them head those kind of problems off before they happen.

    Of course with an entire staff of short timers they'll quickly just a mess new tech debt as they misgauge things.

  • 'you can have a new IP every time you click a new link'
  • That's not exactly true. It really depends on what you're trying to protect yourself from.

    If you're running an ARR stack, The Pirate hunters out there are going to end up empty-handed at a half decent VPN in a foreign country. But if you're doing something that will draw the ire of the FBI, CIA or secret service, it's a little more than a speed bump.

    Many local ISPs basically hand the keys directly to law enforcement without so much as a warrant. Most of the VPN providers will at least put up a minor fight to stay in business.

  • why does every single flashlight have multiple settings that you have to scroll through?
  • They put them in all the flashlights because of a combination of minimum features required and cost savings.

    To keep heat at a minimum and improve power usage, LEDs benefit from being run by a driver circuit.

    If you're going to use a driver circuit you might as well allow for dimming if you're going to allow for dimming you need to have timed button presses.

    There's only a couple of companies out there that make the circuitry that does the LED driver / lithium ion charging, so everybody just uses the same chipset.

    If you want to flashlight that just turns on and off and doesn't have a lot of features try to find one that doesn't have lithium ion batteries. If you don't need the lithium ion charger they're more likely not to use one of them more extensive chipsets.

  • Does each language have "lefty loosey righty tighty"?
  • And you feel so incredibly dense every time you run into it and you can't figure out what's going on. The crank on my kids bike was out of whack the other week and I kept tightening it down and it kept coming back loose. I was turning the crank one way to tighten it which was pushing it against the lock nut but it needed to turn the other way to be pushed against the bearing before I tighten the lock nut down. If it was all right-handed it would have been clear what I was doing.

    Črni Vrh Slovenia ice formations circa 2016

    Slovenia

    High above the village of Črni Vrh, fantastical ice formations—including spikes over a yard long—encase the trees and lookout tower atop Mount Javornik. The windswept ice, or hard rime, is the result of fog freezing after a week of snow and gales. This image appears in the December 2016 issue of National Geographic magazine.

    Damn they got down to business right away! Loved the humor. Love the story, Cheezy streaming refs went on a little long. Fry, Leela and the Professors Voicing had a few rough spots that wouldn't have happened in the last incarnation, it honestly kinda reminded me of some of the early voicing in season 1. John DiMaggio's performance was flawless. I love that they kinda mixed in a small anthology, had most of the people make cameos.

    Well-Preserved 3,000-Year-Old Bronze Sword Found In Germany

    https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/bronze-age-sword-germany-180982399/

    archaeologists excavating a gravesite in the southern Bavarian town of Nördlingen found a 3,000-year-old sword in excellent condition

    >Given the soft nature of bronze, historians have previously wondered whether such blades served a ceremonial purpose, rather than a practical purpose on the battlefield. A few years ago, scientists even staged sword fights in order to learn more about how the Bronze Age weapons could have been used effectively in battle, despite being much easier to damage and harder to repair than their iron successors.

    Hey, are you guys supposed to be playing with the artifacts?

    it's research!

    "Blood falls" in Antarctica. This water contains ferrous iron, which, combining with atmospheric air, oxidizes and forms rust. It gives the waterfall that blood-red colour

    Source:

    /r/interestingasfuck /u/XyRow666

    I honestly found this one googling around, but XyRow666 presented a far nicer collage than anywhere else I could find.

    more info: https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/blood-falls

    Roughly two million years ago, the Taylor Glacier sealed beneath it a small body of water which contained an ancient community of microbes. Trapped below a thick layer of ice, they have remained there ever since, isolated inside a natural time capsule. Evolving independently of the rest of the living world, these microbes exist in a place with no light or free oxygen and little heat, and are essentially the definition of “primordial ooze.” The trapped lake has very high salinity and is rich in iron, which gives the waterfall its red color. A fissure in the glacier allows the subglacial lake to flow out, forming the falls without contaminating the ecosystem within.

    The Crooked Forest

    The Crooked Forest (Polish: Krzywy Las) is a grove of oddly-shaped pine trees located in the village of Nowe Czarnowo near the town of Gryfino, West Pomerania, in north-western Poland. It is a protected natural monument of Poland.

    This grove of 400 pines was planted in around 1930. Each pine tree bends sharply to the north, just above ground level, then curves back upright after a sideways excursion of one to three meters (3–9 feet). The curved pines are enclosed by a surrounding forest of straight pine trees.

    It is generally believed that some form of human tool or technique was used to make the trees grow or bend this way, but the method has never been determined, and remains a mystery to this day. It has been speculated that the trees may have been deformed to create naturally curved timber for use in furniture or boat building. Others surmise that a snowstorm could have bent the trunks, but there is little evidence of that.

    Many people have been trying to find an answer to this mystery, but since the town of Gryfino was largely abandoned between the early stages of World War II until the 1970s, the people who were there before the war and probably had the answer to the mystery of the Crooked Forest are now likely gone forever.

    Ghost apples are made from a pretty interesting phenomenon whereby frozen weather coats an apple in ice. When the apple inside rots and falls out, the icy shell is left behind and you get an ice apple.

    How Quantum Computers Break The Internet... Starting Now

    Veritasium is the king of almost clickbait, but he really gives out some crazy details.

    Starting around 2:11 They explain RSA and get into the meat.

    When quantum computers do all that crazy parallel math, apparently you only get one of the answers, and it's random :) But due to some sketchy repeating, any one of the answers is enough to make RSA vulnerable with just a little math.

    Giant art piece memorializing a farmer's late wife.

    Breaking up the flat agricultural areas of Argentina's Pampas is a guitar formed entirely out of trees. Stretching for 2/3 of a mile (1km), the multi-colored instrument was created by one Argentine farmer to memorialize his wife. Crushed by the loss of his love, a few years later Pedro Martin Ureta (owner) began working on designing a guitar in his field that could be seen from above by airplane. He settled on the design because his late wife loved the instrument and he wanted to memorialize her on his land.

    The Green Cathedral, Marinus Boezem 1987 · Almere, Niederlande

    Looks like a copy and paste job.

    The Green Cathedral or De Groene Kathedraal located near Almere in the Netherlands, is an artistic planting of Lombardy poplars (Populus nigra italica) that mimics the size and shape of the Cathedral of Notre-Dame, Reims, France. The Green Cathedral is 150 m (490 ft) long and 75 m (246 ft) wide, and the mature poplar trees are about 30 m (98 ft) tall.

    The planting itself is kinda ok, but taking the time to till out the same size in the forest next door is crazy

    due to the curvature of the Earth a really long building can't have walls that are both parallel and level.

    Aparently, I've conflated Level with Plumb, the walls cannot be parallel and plumb. Due to the curve, the center of gravity for the walls would require them to angle in slightly together or not be plumb.
