Thanks for the recommendation! I am a tiki man through and through, and I was a big fan of the Lost Lake and I love Three Dots and a Dash, I’ve had all the tiki standards in bars from Chicago to Las Vegas, and I love the classics.

As an aside My go-to drinks to test a new tiki bar are a mai tai, a fog cutter and a…

it’s also pretty easy to steal from a grocery store, that doesn’t mean groceries are free.

see, this is actually a somewhat fair argument, one I had not heard before and I can kind of understand.  I am still sympathetic to Netflix’ point that people are abusing the system and they ruined it for everyone, content is not free, they have to pay for it somehow, but if they really did bill it as a “family” not a…

I kinda hit them with a microlight drone, sorry.

I think the fact he rhymed “things” with “things” is still probably criminal.

I agree, just because it’s easy to add a tip prompt to your credit card system EVERYONE is doing it now, and it’s getting absurd.  I tip for sit-down service, because that is just a cultural thing you’re not going to fight and win-- but every company adding a tip prompt (often set to default to 20%!) to their credit…

Some marinades, especially those with pineapple (thanks to the enzymes) or acid do tenderize the meat somewhat. And they can add moisture if you prepare them properly (I love vacuum-pulled marinaded chicken that a local butcher sells, they use a tube with a vacuum pump to pull the marinade all the way through the meat…

I find that if your grill isn’t well-seasoned that pre-brushing it cold with oil and heating to cooking temperature helps get it seasoned a little and prevents sticking, but you also need to oil hot.

Stepdad of two, I second most of this advice except the terrible advice from the writer’s own father, which I think might have been somewhat lost in translation.

A grill should be treated like seasoned cast iron— scrape it (gently), wipe it clean, but don’t attack it with soap and a chore boy pad, and never use a…

At the end of the day there’s no such thing as a free lunch. If you want free movies there’s plenty of ad-driven services out there and you can always go rent a disc.

it’s basic game design— you cannot punish players out of a behavior you need to reward them into it. The real problem is how tight the time routing was in P3— unlike P5, it requires save scum abuse of sick days and the health teacher and down-to-the-day routing from a guide to achieve all S-links in one go.

The biggest reason that it feels so strange is that it ties directly into Star Wars BIGGEST issue— every event of galactic importance in the recent continuity involves the same small set of people. Everyone who is important from the late republic to the new republic is all tied somehow to Anakin Skywalker, his allies,…

it would have to be recklessly or maliciously false to be libel, and it’s known at least SOME of what he said, unfortunately, is true. I don’t know about all the locations he stated but Biden himself admitted to some of that publicly.

I mean in this case it is true though, existing laws can be bent and twisted to cover crypto, but none of the categories apply to it well, and in that ambiguity there’s a lot of chaos.

It seems that the exchanges want it to be treated as a currency when it’s convenient for them, a stock or bond when that’s convenient,…

I don’t think that’s accurate, a combination of visual sensors and liDar is *better* than human vision, and unlike a human driver it has no blind spots. In this case it identified the obstruction as a dog. And ultimately it doesn’t need to ID things perfectly, after all, a car shouldn’t hit ANYTHING, all it really…

and that’s exactly what you are trained to do in defensive driving class, an animal’s life is not worth potentially killing a person. If you are too close to brake effectively or safely change lanes, the WORST thing you can do is mash your brakes and cause a chain reaction of rear-end collisions, or swerve suddenly…

exactly, there is no indication that a human driver (who was in the car) would have had another outcome. A car has braking distance, and an animal darting out from between parked cars is perfectly concealed, even from lidar, until it’s too late.

Frankly we need to stop demanding “perfect” before we trust automated…

Hololens isn’t a consumer tool that’s why. It’s designed for professional applications, much in keeping with Microsoft’s “enterprise first” mindset. And in that niche it does have some real potential.

There’s two general approaches to AR/VR/MR right now, the first is “start with games hope it becomes practical once…

That’s a good point, but ultimately I’m not worried about Skynet, I’m worried about the proliferation of sophisticated attack drones. A few grams of explosive and some copper foil, a good tracking algorithm that can recognize human faces, and you could inflict a tremendous amount of “soft” damage quickly.

a few…

by my calculations 400 bucks worth of Raspberry Pi Zero 2W (at 12 each bought in bulk) is 33 of them, each with a quad-core 1Ghz ARM processor. You’re right that a home PC probably can’t do much in a reasonable timeframe but a mesh network of cheap consumer hardware absolutely could. Old, used Playstation 3s would be…
