  For some soups, a great way to serve them is to toast a thick slice of one of the uncut loaves (so you can cut it thick), then place it in the middle of a wide bowl and serve the soup on top of that. Sometimes, you put another sauce that harmonizes well with the souo on the bread, first.

  Then you eat it as the soup absorbs into the bread, experiencing a combination of soggy and dry bread textures along with the flavour of the broth (and sauce, if present).

  It wouldn’t work with a standard loaf of bread, as both the slices and the bread itself aren’t thick enough to keep it from quickly going fully soggy. Breaking crackers or dipping toast into soup are pale imitations (ok, dipping toast isn’t that far off, but I still prefer a good thick piece of toast).

  Also, if you take a baguette and cut it into thinner slices then toast/bake those slices, you end up with a much cheaper version of those artisan crackers that are just dried pieces of baguette.

  Also, look up beef wellington for one of the more extreme uses of non-standard bread.

  Define “important” in this context.

  Unless you have pockets with zippers, fanny packs are great for riding roller coasters if you’re only carrying a fanny pack’s worth of things. Especially one that can sit unnoticed under your shirt, since staff will sometimes make you take it off if it’s obvious.

  Oh come on, I see right through your posturing to be allowed to open an all-dolphin game dev sweat shop. Stop it, it’s a waste of money because the whales always interfere and get the dolphins to unionize after the dolphins earn their programming degrees and then they go out and write emulators (because obviously we just close the shop). One of these days they’ll get in contract with the penguins and might start pumping out Linux distros!

  On the one hand, I agree, but on the other hand, this means that the ones supported by the billionaires will have the advantage.

  Not that there’s any guarantee media you pay for isn’t owned by billionaires paying more. Or just promising things to bootlickers that they might never intend on following through on.

  Behind the Bastards did a show on him. My memory is fuzzy on the specifics, and holy shit was it complicated trying to find out the information without listening to the episode(s) again, but no, he wasn’t just a silly self-parody and stepped over the line to be a piece of shit.

  Allegations against him:

  • Person of interest in the murder of his neighbour (that he was known to be hostile with) in Belize. He eventually fled the country when he became a person of interest.
  • Another time when his compound was raided on suspicion of manufacturing meth, he answered the door armed and naked (ok, that goes along with the parody bit) and authorities found a terrified 17-year-old in his bed.
  • This wasn’t a one off thing, based on what other visitors have said was going on when they were there.
  • Nanette Burnstein made a documentary about him. She was in contact with him and visited his compound at one point. When she told him she wanted to leave, he raped her before allowing her to go.

  So yeah, it wasn’t all just silly running for president while living on a boat he frequently searched for stowaway spies due to deep paranoia (combined with knowing that he’d done things to make it realistic that authorities might really be trying to get him) and making shirtless videos while heavily armed. But I did think the same as you before hearing that episode.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨who's gonna tell him?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder what this timeline would be like if he had accepted that his submarine idea was naive despite the good intentions and just paid to have a nice setup with comfortable tents and catered food for the divers and kids as they got out of the cave (plus their families). Instead of attacking the guy and showing the world who he was, kicking off a cycle of him lashing out at his falling popularity, resulting in it falling even more, then more lashing out, etc.

  Even if he was like that the whole time, he might have kept his mask on instead of leaning into it, probably would have never made that offer for Twitter, might have tried to appear neutral instead of joining Trump’s campaign.

  Though hard to say because the self-driving bs and cybertruck would have still happened and might have kicked off that cycle anyways.

  Interesting article but it’s sad to see that website using dark patterns like subscribe popups and fucking with the back button.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mama!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The idea is that the big bang started as a singularity, where everything had the same position as far as our 3d space is concerned, and then the difference in position arose as a consequence of it. Maybe space (as we know it) didn’t exist before, maybe it did but collapsed, or maybe there was “other” space but this space we’re in popped into existence. Same thing with time and perhaps some other dimensions.

  So it did happen everywhere (where everywhere is just everywhere inside this universe), but it was a single point at that moment.

  Though I suspect it was inside another universe and that our big bang singularity was just another black hole forming in that universe and we’re seeing the mystery of what happens beyond the event horizon when gravity overpowers all other forces. Our familiar forces could just be the next set of rules physics for small things (from the perspective of the parent universe) after gravity overcomes the dominant ones in that universe. Which could mean that all black holes are tunnels to other universes (that we can’t visit but the matter that makes us could, though it would probably be something else once it did, like an entire galaxy cluster).

  Then the CMB might just be light that entered our universe from the parent one, redshifted like crazy (plus other optical gravitational effects, like any light that enters will appear brighter in one direction but coming from all directions to some extent).

  That “brain matures at 25” bs is a myth that was caused by a study in brain development losing funding when its subjects (that it follwed from birth) were 25.

  Concluding brain development stops there is like assuming the road ends at any point where you have stopped following it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon files a lawsuit⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The odds of even siblings having a child with issues are apparently pretty low still, but the issue comes from having several generations of it if it gets normalized. Like the Hapsburgs weren’t even marrying siblings, but did the cousin and second cousin marriages often enough that they ended up with a lot of inbred family members and those distinctive chins and noses.

  So rather than needing to look at everyone’s family history to determine whether or not there’s been too much incest that the risk of inbred issues in the offspring is too high, it’s just generally looked down upon, which means the times it happens completely by accident (like two orphan siblings that never met or secret half-sibling affair children), it’s not as big of a deal because the odds of issues are still pretty low.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is Dimitri⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Walmarts tend to be pretty big and buddy doesn’t want to be found out after the interaction, so is probably nowhere in the vicinity when the customer finds someone else, not to mention it’s not obvious that he’s putting on an act, so not everyone would feel like they need to go tell on him. It’s probably more like customer asks for help and mentions Dimitri wasn’t able to help, then the employee, if they care, tries to figure out who they are talking about but the customer just wants someone to point them to the paper towels or unlock the axe spraypaints.

  I always found it really weird how he was puking on day 1. Alcohol being in the mix makes so much more sense, guessing he was either hungover as fuck or just drunk when that happened, probably also didn’t try to fight it as much because his drunk ass thought it would make his point better, but even when I first saw it, it hurt his credibility. And especially when combined with that big mac dude, figured reality was more complex than he was presenting.

  I still avoid McDonald’s, but because it’s one of the shittiest fast food options based on my own experiences (I’ve never been satisfied from just one meal from there while A&W or Wendy’s can satisfy my hunger), not to mention their patties are pretty sad and unappealing IMO.

  Not to defend adding ads to chatgpt, but it’s quite different from an implant that turns people into walking ads.

  Also, they weren’t on the free tier, their subscription was already stretching their finances and then they added ads and a new even more expensive tier to avoid the ads.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Personally, I like my PS5 because I don’t really gaf what any games do with my PS5’s kernel. It’s my way to play games that I’d never touch on my PC (even before switching to Linux, kernel anti-cheat/DRM was a dealbreaker).

  Actually kinda ironic because Sony is the company that made me not trust shit companies install on PCs for security purposes after their rootkit (also stopped using autoplay because of that). But between the three console options, Sony is the least shitty today.

  That said, I’m not sure I’ll be ever getting another console because I still do most of my gaming on my PC while those games collect dust.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Doesn’t the new switch still use a control stick design that can suffer from drift, despite it being a solved problem?

  looks it up Ah ffs, they probably didn’t because they thought replacing the mounting rack and slide with magnets was more important, and powerful magnets might interfere with the other sensors (though if the magnetic field isn’t moving, I think any effects could be compensated for).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I own or owned every one of their consoles other than the Wii (though can play the games on the wii u). No more, between their pricing (especially on recycled content), wastefullness (all that excess plastic for a case that holds a tiny cart because a small box makes their prices even harder to stomach), and legal bs (going after modders, emulators, and the used game market via anti-piracy bricking depending on what the previous owner of the game did), fuck them.

  I think one way to avoid the gag reflex is to “swallow” that cock. Like do the swallow motion but hold it mid-swallow (this trick works to make your Adam’s apple easier to shave, too, as it kinda recedes under your skin).

  Never put this theory to practice on a dick, but the gag reflex is about avoiding inhaling stuff, and we (usually) have no problem swallowing food.
