Probably so the camera could be updated on the fly and not be brickable via a random power cycle. Still seems stupid though.

AI consumed the original paper, interpreted it as a single combined term, and regurgitated it for researchers too lazy to write their own papers.

Can’t help with sourcing, but be aware that there are -good- bidets that come as a toilet seat replacement. You’d still need to mess with the water line and such, but it’s completely reversible if you move. That’s likely what you want, rather than a true portable option, since amongst other features the seat replacements will generally heat the water.

I’d be afraid to break it on ice cream unless it was super soft. Wouldn’t even have time to think of how weird it was over that paranoia.

To be fair, Basque people expanded well outside Basque country and took root in a few odd spots as a result. I live in Nevada, and we have Basque festivals in a few cities with many actual Basque people here annually. I wouldn’t say I’m an expert by any measure, but maybe some took root near Tokyo too? Wouldn’t be the craziest thing.

EDIT: There’s apparently a wiki page specifically about this, though it makes no mention of Japan that I saw.

AI-optimized efficiency

…could we not?

Kid schooled him too.

Just makes it that much more important to host instances outside the US, and to conceal your location if you run such a website from within the US. I’d say I can’t believe they’d be this stupid, but I’m coming to believe a lot of uncomfortable truths lately.

Yep, so did I. So much onion.

Fucking bribery.

Eh, it’s decently low latency. Around 40ms or so. That doesn’t make it useful for them though. There’s absolutely no -legitimate- reason for it in the white house. As for illegitimate reasons, why could Musk possibly want a connection inside the white house that has no oversight other than his own…?

To be fair, there are a bunch of counterexamples. It definitely feels on-point with this one though.

Seems they can reject it, like the one J6 MAGA-ite who did.

We just need Trump, Vance, and Musk to all get in a fatal airplane crash together. Nothing of value would be lost.

I’ve been tempted myself for an age. Apparently instead of using a full-size bourbon barrel, you can just toss some staves from the barrel in for the aging process. I definitely don’t have room to brew a full barrel.

This one in particular involves importing bourbon barrels from various places, then aging the base imperial stout in those barrels for around 11 months. Any time you have aged products like that, the price is going to go up. I’ve absolutely seen stouts priced up like that without deserving the tag though.

Yeah, that’s a bit much of a trek. Could probably get a bottle or even a set shipped there though, if you ever felt sufficiently self-indulgent.

It’s happening!

Luckily I found a brewery nearish here that has stunningly good barrel-aged imperial stouts. Unfortunately they’re nearly $20 a bottle, so I can only afford to go on special occasions. They’re worth the cost though, good gods.

I didn’t have a sister, but I still did it a couple times.
