Given that the whole point of science is to methodically work your way to results that are reliable and reproducible, and AI is notorious for producing results that range from dubious to fully made up, you’d think AI would actually be on track to create more science jobs
My parents have belonged to one of those for years. One of the cool things about theirs is their farm usually grows much different varieties of vegetables than you can find in regular grocery stores. They regularly get white and purple carrots, and some variety of orange carrot that has a little bit of a peppery/gingery bite to it. One year they got some heirloom variety of celery which had too much flavor eat raw. Imagine biting into a stick of celery and being physically overwhelmed by the amount of celery flavor you’re experiencing, like, “Jesus Christ… the celery… too… powerful…” It was absolutely killer in soups though.
Yup, I can type about 90-100 wpm on a QWERTY keyboard if it’s normal conversational English. Probably half that if it’s something that contains a lot of long technical words. The thing that got me over the hump with getting good at typing was a game called QWERTY Warriors. It was a Flash-based web game that I was playing like 20 years ago, so I don’t know if it’s around anymore, but it was a tower defense game where you had to defeat enemies by typing the word underneath them. It was a pretty painless way to practice touch-typing.

I just make my own. It’s really easy. It’s just a can of chickpeas (drained), a couple/three tablespoons of tahini, a couple/three tablespoons of olive oil, a few cloves of garlic, and a tablespoon or two of lemon juice. Add some cumin and paprika if you want it to taste like store bought. Throw all that in a blender or food processor for a couple minutes and you’ve got hummus. Then you can add as much red pepper as you want. Personally I like to make it with roasted and peeled Hatch or Pueblo chiles.
Don’t worry, once the camps are up and running there will be plenty of “free” labor to make up the shortfall.
Most tea shops that have a web store sell some version of the paper ones. The shop I usually order my green tea from has the fold-over type for $5.50-$6.50 per 100, but if you google “plastic free drawstring tea bags for loose tea” tons of options come up.
You can get drawstring tea bags that are made to be filled with your own looseleaf tea. I used to buy some of the single use paper ones before I found a steel tea ball that I liked, but I’ve also seen reusable ones made out of muslin. Either way it’s pretty easy to find plastic-free versions.
One of features I really like about Summit is that it shows the age of new accounts next to the user name on comments by default. It’s not a feature I knew I wanted, but I love it now that I have it.
My Brother My Brother and Me probably fits the bill.
The Box of Oddities is really good. Husband and wife team talking about spooky and Fortean topics.
No Such Thing as a Fish, a podcast spinoff of the UK TV show QI. Four hosts each show up with an interesting bit of trivia to discuss.
The Bugle. Comedians doing political satire. Is UK-centric but ends up being about US politics a lot of the time.
If Books Could Kill. A couple guys tear apart popular self help books as well as pop-sci books like Freakonomics
Boy, you sure don’t hear the words “deeply researched” used in reference to the Daily Mail very often.
Ironically us plebs who work with our hands are the people with the skill set necessary to build those things.
Nice. Love a spalted top.
Windows 11 feels like Microsoft is actively punishing me for being foolish enough to keep using their products. Adding some janky AI bullshit machine to this garbage fire feels now they’re just taking the piss.
I think if you’re going to go through the trouble to return your cart to the cart area then yeah, slot that bad boy into the stack the way it’s supposed to go. Otherwise it’s like those people who pick up their dog’s poop and just hang the bag on a tree branch for someone else to put in the trash. Either do the thing, or don’t do the thing. Doing it halfway just makes a different kind of mess.
I found out a new (new to me at least) bit of cart-return etiquette last year when I was using the handicap parking spaces for a couple months following ankle surgery. Grocery carts double as walking aids for a lot of people with mobility issues while they’re at the store. Many people with those issues will purposely leave their carts in the handicap area as a courtesy for the next person with mobility issues so they can have it right away and not have to struggle all the way to the cart area. So there’s at least one instance where not returning your cart doesn’t make you a horrible person.
It’s just a regular ol’ smoke grenade like the military uses for signaling. At least so say some people on the ground in Minneapolis who recovered one of the canisters.
I 100% read that as “carnitas,” and now I’m thinking that whatever the solution is, it should definitely include tacos.

Yeah, that surprised me too.
