Kinda irritated with my algorithm, it should have been showing me this guy YEARS ago.

Gonna try his chicken stock tonight.

He's very relatable, too, cuz if *I'D* ever worked directly under Heston Blumenthal at The Fat Duck, I'd never shut up about it, either. :V

If you pay attention to any large industry long enough and follow it to its logical conclusion you eventually end up sounding like a communist even if you started off testing CPU case fans. youtu.be/cUrJVdF2me0?...

no, what is inexcusable is that a player reported an abusive fan, they did nothing to protect him, that fan went and said more abusive shit, got hit, peacocked about it to the media while trying to gain sympathy, and losers like ⬇️ are still trying to say DK should’ve done better.
Even if he reported the fan and even if the fan said some really bad stuff, you still need to keep your cool. This is inexcusable.

"users quickly bypassed the AI's safeguards by prompting it to roleplay as"- ok so what I'm hearing again and again, is they've built a dumb guy in a Bugs Bunny cartoon. You just gotta run back into frame in a wedding dress and now the AI thinks you're getting married. Robots are now all Elmer Fudd

they also tell them to disregard woke institutions and higher education while sending their kids to those very schools as legacies
I will never understand how these fully vaccinated MFs with full healthcare can convince y’all not to vaccinate your children

God in almost finished rewatching Generation Kill after listening to Blowback Season 1 and dude is stand out in it. What a bummer.
I was just at the gym watching a The Wire s2 episode, and came back to this awful news. Ransone was incredible in that season — so believable as the screw-up determined to live down to everyone's low opinion of him. And great in almost everything else I saw him do. RIP.
'The Wire' Star James Ransone Dead at 46 After Apparent Suicide
James Ransone -- an actor best known for his role in the hit show "The Wire" -- has died ... and the medical examiner is pointing to suicide as the cause.

One of my favorite things with mobile garbage like this is seeing the game buckle under its own weight and hitch every few seconds as it struggles to load in another pop-up
Here’s a “I didn’t play for a week and now the Christmas event stuff started and every recurring revenue system reset requiring a new pop up” version that is somehow twice as long

The Abundance movement often points to environmental groups as the obstacles to building. But who actually files the lawsuits blocking projects? It’s not environmental groups. It’s been lawyered-up HOAs protecting property values all along. Regulation by litigation is the problem.

I deeply want some games journo deep-diver to figure out what the absolute hell is going on with Cookie's Bustle. I want a full exposé on whatever freak is doing this. I'm sensing drama on Tallarico levels here
Great to see @romhack.ing back on Bluesky after getting hit by the Cookie's Bustle troll

For those new to this deeply weird story, some weirdo (nobody knows who, maybe a collector trying to bump the game's value) has been shutting down anything to even MENTION obscure 1999 adventure Cookie's Bustle

this is how closed captioning of live events still works today! several people here have this actual job!
Except apparently the machine-transcription service was extremely fussy, so my friend's job was to listen to the call and then *repeat exactly what the person just said*, just enunciating better. 2/2
