@TeslaFrenzy @underground_net @SawyerMerritt I can confirm, I enjoy having my car fart in thy general direction

@underground_net @SawyerMerritt Tesla still does fart noises

Here's what the fake V8 engine/revving noises sound like in the new all-electric Mercedes AMG GT 4-Door Coupe. Mercedes says the car makes “exhaust burbles and pops" like a gas car.

@BiancoDavinci speedbumps are a problem!

i don't know what kind of vehicle this is, but the design is really good.

@gatorgar I'd say STS-1 with extra white paint, unknowingly rawdogging a 1-in-12 LOC potential.

Which shuttle was the coolest looking? And why is the correct answer Columbia? 😎

@liekitisnot stopped the video at the browned eggs. gross.

My grandma with no fingers left on her left hand taught me this.

@pakmann2k @TABYTCHI Exactly this, with careful planning you can make it work but with busy lives you wind up throwing away so much expired food because it comes in quantity.

@TABYTCHI Ok, big point missing here. Can you buy a single bun? A single patty? One piece of cheese? One chicken patty and seasoning for 1? I cook a lot! Some things, like an italian sub, are cheaper to order than make if not cooking for 4+

Most popular chain restaurants (redundant ones removed), most popular menu entree, menu price (no taxes, delivery fees, tips) and preparing at home cost: 1. McDonald’s – Quarter Pounder with Cheese
Menu price: ~$6.39
At home price: ~$4.05

@saniyafatma1278 I think you can feed them special food to reduce the allergens

I’m very allergic to cats, we had a stray show up. Immediately fall in love with my son. We live in the middle of nowhere so appears she was dumped. After a week of feeding her outside it was clear she was young and an indoor cat. Took her to vet she’d been fixed, under a year old got her shots…anyway here’s the cat that chose my son. So we have a cat now.

@HistoryBoomer Carl you are discounting the possibility that everyone thought you were the homeless person

Yesterday in NYC, and not once was I mugged or accosted by homeless people! CitiBiking from home in Sunset Park through Park Slope and Downtown Brooklyn, across the Manhattan Bridge to Kossar's Bagels and Bialys in the Lower East Side, walking over to the East River Park for lunch with a buddy. Then on a CitiBike, up 1st Avenue through the East Village to the Upper East Side and one more visit to my beloved Metropolitan Museum of Art (stuck to the American wing and the European masters). Back on a CitiBike, heading south through Central Park, then down 7th Avenue through Times Square, then down 5th Avenue to the nerd store, The Compleat Strategist. (The mispelling is their choice.) Next, CitiBiking down Broadway to REI on Lafayette Street. I bought pants. (That store is closing in July and I'm quite bummed.) Then a short walk to my poker game through the Soho crowds. I took an Uber home because it was 2 am and I'd won!

@swillysports Last time we won a playoff game

thinking about 2009 chone figgins

@edgaralandough Enjoy your life while young and able. Yes, save responsibly but not at the total expense of the present. Piles of money when you are old and infirm ain't worth much.

I’m 32 now please give me advice if you’re older than me. I don’t care where you are from. Life advice, just one.

@HistoryBoomer Ok I'll try to be more exciting. Sorry, Carl!

On blocking. With 25k followers, I see more replies. A fair number are rude or obnoxious. So I block. You have to remember, I see a sea of these! I need to cull them! So be careful out there! And no, believing in free speech doesn't mean I have to listen to every boring jerk!

@kellyinvegas @mike55410 Median age?

@mike55410 It’s everyone. Just this week alone I’ve had multiple encounters where I almost lost it.

The speaker phone/no headphones crowd is out of control. We have allowed this to be socially acceptable and it's not.

@elonmusk Or perhaps more importantly, when?

Where are the aliens? This is one of the most fundamental questions.

@omgsidewalks Are you looking for African names since that's where this engagement farming account is based?

@JoshHochschild @thisdudelikesAI Such an amazing story and they don't even provide the student's name 😅

1. This post is AI slop. 2. What it describes is someone using AI to simulate the dialectical activity of an embodied intellectual community. 3. The possibility of #2 rests on some memory of real academic community. 4. That AI “workflow” may in optimal circumstances simulate academic community should be a call to sustain real academic community and not depend on AI simulations.

A Oxford PhD student got flagged for submitting AI-generated work. His advisor called it the most sophisticated research process he had seen in 20 years. The student had not used AI to write a single word. Here is the workflow that got him reported. He starts every essay with a diagnostic he calls brutal. He dumps his rough argument into Claude and asks one question: what are the three weakest logical jumps in this reasoning, and where would a hostile examiner attack first? The AI does not write his essay. It destroys his draft, and then he rebuilds from whatever survives. Most students using AI are doing the opposite. They hand Claude a topic and ask it to write. He hands Claude his thinking and asks it to find every place where that thinking falls apart. The difference between those two approaches is the difference between outsourcing your brain and sharpening it. The second step is the one that made his advisor go quiet. He uploads the five most important papers in his field alongside his draft and asks Claude what claims in his argument contradict or oversimplify what these authors actually found. Most PhD students cite papers they have skimmed once. He cites papers he has been forced to genuinely reckon with, because Claude keeps catching the places where he got them wrong. The final move is almost unfair. Before he submits anything, he pastes his conclusion and runs one more prompt. He asks what a philosopher of science would say is missing from this argument and what assumptions he is making that he has not defended. His essays come back from reviewers with phrases like unusually rigorous and demonstrates rare critical depth, and his committee has no idea that the depth came from a machine asking him harder questions than any human in his department was willing to ask. The academic integrity hearing lasted three hours. The panel asked him to rebuild his methodology from scratch in the room. He opened his laptop and showed them exactly how the workflow ran, prompt by prompt. They did not just clear him. They gave him the highest grade in the department's history and asked him to present the process to faculty. Here is what that story actually means. What took most PhD candidates six months of back-and-forth with advisors, he was compressing into a single session because he had figured out something almost nobody else has. AI does not make your thinking better by replacing it. It makes your thinking better by attacking it faster than any human critic ever would. He was not using AI to write. He was using it to think harder than he could alone. The tool is the same one everyone has. The workflow is the part nobody is teaching.

@RayMartin79059 @SamaHoole Avocado oil is a good alternative, neutral flavor and high smoke point.

I use Tallow, Butter and Ghee for frying. However, I do a lot of marinating - and creating herb rubs for fish, beef and lamb roasts & steaks. I combine butter and olive oil to saute the herbs for the rubs; refrigerate overnight and rub on the roast to marinate for a day. Butter by itself just doesn't do the job. I also use olive oil with butter for pasta to raise the burning point - tallow just isn't the right taste for a Cacio e Pepe...

Olive oil. Liquid gold. The reason the Mediterraneans live forever. The single most romanticised ingredient in modern cookery. The bottle on the counter you paid £18 for because it had a Tuscan hillside on the label and the words "extra virgin" printed in a serif font. Let's have a look at what you actually bought. There is a non-trivial chance, depending on which study you read, that the bottle in your kitchen has been cut with seed oils. The olive oil industry has been caught doing this so many times that Italian organised crime built an entire revenue stream around it. The FBI has a unit. The unit has been busy. You did not know this, because the bottle on your counter has a Tuscan hillside on it, and the Tuscan hillside has been doing the heavy lifting on the marketing for forty years. The polyphenols, the supposed miracle compounds that the entire Mediterranean diet narrative rests on, degrade rapidly with heat, light, and time. By the time the oil has been pressed, bottled, shipped, sat on a supermarket shelf for nine months, brought home, sat next to your hob for three more months, and finally poured into a hot pan, the polyphenol content is approximately what you would get from licking the label. You then heat it. Olive oil has a smoke point lower than butter and dramatically lower than tallow. The moment it begins to smoke, the few remaining polyphenols are destroyed and the oil itself begins oxidising into compounds nobody wants in their body. You are now cooking with a degraded industrial product wearing the costume of a peasant tradition. The Mediterraneans, by the way, did not eat olive oil in the quantities you have been led to believe. They ate olives. They cooked, primarily, in lard and animal fat, because animal fat was what you cooked in, everywhere, for the entire history of cooking, until a small group of researchers in the 1950s decided otherwise. The olive oil was for dressing salads and for lamps. The notion that the Mediterranean diet is built on olive oil is a marketing project, beautifully executed, that began in the 1970s and has not stopped since. Butter has a higher smoke point. Ghee higher still. Tallow higher again. All three contain the fat-soluble vitamins. All three are stable when heated. All three are cheaper. All three have not been cut with anything by an organised crime syndicate in the last six months. Cook in butter. Cook in tallow. Cook in lard, dripping, suet, duck fat, bacon grease. Keep the olive oil for the salad you are no longer eating.

@Angels Terrible game, good hit Neto, screw the team from Sacramento

NEVER IN DOUBT 😤

@CookingHub_ bottom of the eggs burned, they need low heat

steak n eggs but cooking the steak first on a stainless steel pan.

@Docneuroeo sorry to break it to you but Santa Claus isn't real either

Interesting… at least it's confirmed now: nobody cares. CNN, Fox, PBS could literally announce "7-foot reptilians have landed" and people would just keep pushing their grocery carts down the cereal aisle.

@fatfilmsparody The only thing remotely amusing about this is Gold Five doesn't look any different

Ai has never been bigger.

@MarieIsabellaB I think @SamaHoole would find this acceptable

Shut up and take my money🤤
