My favorite old cookbook is a wine cook book. The author is an obvious and unrepentant alcoholic that perfectly demonstrates the time period it was written in. One of the recipes was literally “melt a bunch of cheese and stir in wine while it cools, then pour the wine cheese into a loaf pan to solidify”, encouraging you to have a glass while you do so.

justastranger@sh.itjust.worksto Programming@programming.dev•AI coders think they’re 20% faster — but they’re actually 19% slower4·23 days agoSo far I’ve only found it useful when describing bite-sized tasks in order to get suggestions on which functions are useful from the library/API I’m using. And only when those functions have documentation available on the Internet.
justastranger@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is the strangest math that turned out to be useful?4·1 month agoBecause the second number has special rules and a unit. It’s not just a pair of numbers, though it can be represented through a pair of numbers (really helpful for computing).
justastranger@sh.itjust.worksto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•US question: Would you approve of your state seceding from the Union, declaring independence from the United States? I think California, Oregon, and Washington would, and probably Colorado too.2·1 month agoNo but there’s no law against expelling a state from the union. Kind of a reverse secession if you can piss trump off enough for him to actually do it (no law saying that only Congress can expel them, so it would go to the courts).
People were distributing edited versions of the dress image just to fuck with people. I’m convinced that trolling was the root of the entire “debate”.
There are some rather stark differences between the old and new testament depictions of God. The only two ways to reconcile the differences imo are that either Jesus led a pretty standard major-religion-themed-psychedelic-“love”-cult or that the Gnostics were on to something about this reality being a prison created by a divine abomination and that Jesus was trying to save us from the OT “God”.

Instead, explicitly legalize self-defense against anyone that fails or refuses to identify and validate their identity while performing official activities. Turn hiding your face and badge number into literal suicide.

This is how the NY Post framed it.42·2 months agoWhen you’re being assaulted and have no way of knowing whether they’re going to kill you for being trans (something you know happens with alarming frequency), why would you show remorse for defending yourself against a violent, “pure evil” bigot?
justastranger@sh.itjust.worksto A Boring Dystopia@lemmy.world•A postal worker in Harlem attacked a trans woman. She fought back and fatally stabbed him in self-defense. This is how the NY Post framed it.91·2 months agoIn a world where cis men have been deemed not guilty for murdering trans people just because they couldn’t tell until they got to the sex, there is no way I’d hold a trans person guilty of murder for defending themselves from an ongoing assault that very well could have escalated to a murder against her.
Only the certified organic servers are grown. Usually hydroponics are involved as the soil tends to jam the coolers. Sunlight is only necessary if they’re solar powered.
