@SalobreMon47 There was TiVo. Later on, cable companies integrated DVR into their set top boxes so it became really widespread.

I never knew how the hell you people did that. Our tv couldnt pause the transmission of shows. Did you guys have a way to record it on your tv so you could pause the show? am i too poor to understand this?

@ggreenwald It's because the media threw so much mud against the wall just to see what would stick, now Trump diehards can point to any number of past slander as a counter to your criticism.
English
There was only one thing that surprised me about the Jubilee with MAGA die-hards.
It wasn't that some people scream and refuse to stop talking. It wasn't that these were mostly young people cheering and finding purpose in wars but never fighting in them. It wasn't that their politics is more of a cult of personality. All expected and found in all factions.
It was that, despite being political junkies, they had no idea about Trump's enormous corruption scandals because the corporate and independent media they consume doesn't mention it. They had no idea it existed:

@bryancsk There's some science behind this. Greater prevalence of high taste sensitivity among Asians. One reason why umami is regarded above all other flavors.

Is this a meme? Is this why Americans look at pictures of chicken rice and ask "where is the flavourings? it looks so plain?"

i was super excited for the food when i went to vietnam and i had a few amazing meals, but pho is a daily staple there and it was super boring and usually didn’t even have herbs. i was there for a month and the best banh mi i’ve eaten is still in palo alto.

@GhostofCrockett @bryancsk @KemonomichiNL Just comparing what you can get at the supermarket, taste wise chicken in the US is bland compared to chicken in any Asian country. Might be the the breed, might be the feed. It's especially noticeable when making broth. US beef is great, though. Buttery.

@bryancsk @KemonomichiNL Compared to where? You didn’t finish your thought

Overheard this girl telling her friend how she was on a date with her boyfriend and she got the ick because he bit the mozzarella stick and the cheese kept pulling and he couldn’t break it no matter how far he pulled it away and she said she lost all attraction immediately

@teortaxesTex The crappy Kirin 9020 also forced them to optimizemaxx HarmonyOS 😵

the funniest thing about it all is that the US has basically IMPOSED Faustian spirit on China. Infra flexes aside, they were content selling labubus, grinding gachas, fabbing SoCs on TSMC. Battles for Hegemony, the desperate race to the AGI God – it didn't come naturally to them.

Can confirm @oasishealthapp is a joke. It lists 4 “harmful substances” in our Basil Pesto Ravioli that aren’t even in the product, includes other incorrect ingredients, has fake nutrition facts and says we’re owned by Reily Foods. How can they be so careless?

@apparentlysteve the amount of societal damage a journalist with a trust fund can do is beyond our comprehension

Bryan Johnson reveals an Enhanced Games athlete went too far with enhancement and started sinking in the pool
“He was also measuring his lactate, normally you can get to 25 but it got so high that the device errored out”
“They were looking for a device used for horses that could measure higher, it got off the charts”
“James Magnussen also had a limitation where there was no suit that actually fit his body, so he had the inability to go further”

@escapefrommelos There are indicators, like if they're washing dishes in a bucket on the roadside, this becomes 1000% more likely.

western women love to travel to south east asia and say stuff like
“wow!!!! i cant believe this pho is only $2!!!”
but will freak out when they see their half eaten broth getting strained and recycled back into the pot

Correct me if I’m wrong but wouldn’t this fall under the category of false advertisement? It’s showing that it is 5lbs when it’s clearly not weighing in as such.

@Romy_Holland Am I missing something? What stops people from coin flipping and guessing correctly the first night (50% leave) and the rest deducing correctly the second night? It doesn't say "you can only guess once and you're stuck forever if you're wrong"

@blessedtism Slice butter into teaspoon portions and store in the freezer.
English
@Nessakins_ eh, I kinda get it
I use some ingredients like butter so rarely that nowadays I just skip recipes that call for it rather than use a stick and let rest rot away in the fridge.

@EditingDisinfo @SawyerMerritt @topherdzgns @Starlink You don't want fluke successes during testing. You want everything that can go wrong to go wrong, so you can reinforce what needs reinforcing. If you have fluke successes, it's hard to gauge what parts just barely survived, but which might fail next time.

SpaceX's Starship rocket just successfully performed a flip maneuver and precisely splashed down on target in the Indian Ocean next to a buoy with @Starlink on it.

如果给你选，你要华为三折腾，还是黄仁勋亲笔签名的5090显卡。
话说黄仁勋亲笔签名的显卡性能会变强吗？

Oh my god you don’t just use the items once, and you don’t have to buy $12 mayonnaise.
I started out defending these people but, you know what? They deserve whatever it is that’s happening to them.

@IamR0galD0rn Anyway, that was fun, but good job biting onto that red-herring of mine. Fascinating case of Dunning-Kruger, though.
