Yeah, I would’ve felt a lot better about this before season 3 of Westworld. I thought season 2 was a big dip in quality compared to 1 (they made things deliberately confusing by jumping around a lot, instead of letting the mystery reveal itself over time), but then season 3 just felt like generic network television…

FYI the star fragments are modeled after konpeito, a type of Japanese candy. So you can get some fragments that you can actually eat!

Is there a link to the course? Or is the embedded Youtube video it?

The life stories are also there to improve SEO. I’ve noticed several recipe sites now put a convenient “jump to recipe” button at the top. It’s a welcome change, but it makes me laugh because it’s a tacit admission that “we know you just want to get to the recipe, but here’s all this crap anyway so we can hopefully be…

It’s always annoying when you are watching a movie on your phone and accidentally stop or skip through it when you adjust your grip and touch the wrong part of the screen.

Surprised not to see the Genki adapter on here. It has AptX-LL support and passthrough charging, which AFAICT makes it better than any of the options listed here. One of my few Kickstarter success stories.

Thank you! I’ve been unable to find yeast anywhere, so I’ve been looking at the New York Times’s soda bread recipe. I have everything in my pantry already except buttermilk, so now I won’t even have to go out for that.

I found out about the Obol because Gilfoyle uses one on Silicon Valley, but when I checked, it didn’t look like they make a left-handed version :(

Dang, just returned from the valley after Thanksgiving. I’ll have to check these out when I’m down there again for Christmas. Thanks for the tip!

Saade also used oats and highly kilned—meaning highly toasted—Vienna malts in the recipe for LoCa to add both body and flavor. This will be the first South Florida–brewed low-calorie craft beer,

I’m a big fan of San Francisco’s Palace Games. The rooms are all very mechanically complex, complete with light-up floors and walls that suddenly swing open to reveal more rooms. It’s all very elaborate and well done, and requires more teamwork than just “let’s split up and tackle these different puzzles…

No. It’s the act of organizing and writing down my thoughts in itself that I find therapeutic. It would probably be kinda cringey if I actually went back and read what I wrote.

its smaller dungeons and bigger focus on moment-to-moment decision making during battle makes it feel more in-line with the math-based puzzle game Threes!

What are the latest breakthroughs in the sous vide world? Is there any good swag? Are there massive, Tony Robbins–esque motivational seminars?

Just recently, on my way to a sous vide conference,

Howard and Nester! There’s a reference I haven’t heard in about 20 years. Wonderful little comic!

There’s a Chinese dish 干煸四季豆 (gan bian si ji dou, or dry-fried green beans) that’s pretty dang good. Blanching and charring the green beans as in this article is on the right track, but if you kick it up a notch with some ground pork and spice, it’s positively blissful.

I love this mouse! The shape fits my hand great, it’s wireless with no discernible latency (at least to me), and the wealth of buttons makes it easy to have all the functions I need easily accessible. And two AA batteries will last literally months, even when keeping the low-latency switch turned on.

When this came out, I had a thing for this girl who was extremely Christian, and we went to see it together. She had tears streaming down her face for a good portion of the movie, and I remember just sitting there thinking, “well, this is uncomfortable”

Does this include the crossword puzzles? Asking since it actually exists as a separate subscription service.
