My dad used to make bread as Christmas gifts. December 23-24 the kitchen would just be a bread factory. And honestly, his freshly baked loaves were super impressive and they felt like personal gifts, something that someone actually put time and effort into.
Also, I think the holidays were stressful, and the process of making bread brought some zen like calm.
If you like his taste you should totally listen to his podcast, triple click.
It’s basically the only way I find out about new games. And it’s honestly super insightful.
You had multiple AI subscriptions…
Hunter x Hunter: Nen x Impact could be written more simply as Hunter^2 : Nen x Impact
Just a suggestion, both are technically correct.
… and it destroyed their company right? Their entire business model broke down and it impacted the security of their customers who complained constantly about the decision. Right?
Right?
We should boycott them
How? They aren’t selling to us anymore, remember. They’re ramping down their consumer products because the AI specific products are more lucrative. Hell, not buying their consumer products just proves that point. We’re beyond fucked at this point.
Just grab some popcorn?
One of the now public films is the war film “Hell’s Angels” (about fighter pilots, not bikers). It’s directed by Howard Hughes, I thought “that’s odd” because he was an airplane designer, not a director; so I looked it up on Wikipedia. The more I read the more Hughes’ project sounded like a parallel to dumb shit Elon is doing, buying a social media outlet… okay, making a major motion picture… sure, firing a third of the company and running it into the ground… predictable, getting several people killed during filming and never recouping the cost of production… wow.
Hughes has a reputation as an eccentric reclusive genius, he designed some great aircraft, he made a lot of money, but he was problematic whenever he stepped out of his lane. We’re probably lucky he never got into politics.
But here’s what really caught my eye, (I’ll quote from the Wikipedia page).
When Paul Mantz, the principal stunt pilot, informed Hughes that a stunt in the final scene was too dangerous, Hughes piloted the aircraft himself, but crashed; he suffered a skull fracture and had to undergo facial surgery as well. Three stunt pilots and a mechanic died in accidents during filming.
I’m not sure if Hughes really “learned his lesson” from that, but I’m willing to bet that coming that close to death would affect anyone. How do we get Elon to do anything that would actually give him pause? How do we get him a life altering experience (not necessarily a near death experience, but I’m not oppressed to that either)?
Which you can do starting at like 15! So it all works out.
Hah
Please please please… please Nvidia? Can regular people please still have computers?
…
Meh, nevermind. AMD and Intel can have your consumer business, I’m fine with that too. Surely this AI trend isn’t a bubble, and there’s absolutely no way you’ll regret this later. Best of luck.
Ok, let’s use that example. So imagine you had a large square of rubber and you drew a coordinate plane on it. Then you drew a line segment between points (1,1) and (3,1). You can stretch the rubber until it’s significantly longer, but your line is always exactly 2 units long, even if the rubber stretches.
The thing is, space is the geometry of the universe, it’s what all the various particles in the universe are bound to. Matter isn’t fixed to any point relative to other matter, it’s fixed to a point in space. So if space bends, matter bends with it.
This is how/why orbits work. Gravity is mass warping spacetime. Fast objects like photons sail right on by most stars with their courses barely changed. But slower moving objects like planets are experiencing this local warping of spacetime for a longer period, so it affects them more over time. The thing to note though, is that the planets, and photons are both following newtons first law, they’re traveling in a straight line unless acted upon by another object. The reason the planet orbits the star is that the star has warped space such that (given speed the planet is traveling) an orbit is a straight line.
Not the swedish chef? Think about it… could be good.
Another problem is that the laws of cosmic expansion affects the wire itself. There would be no tugging force between the two bodies. Connecting the two bodies imposes a constraint on them, disrupting the Hubble flow.
This was my first thought on the matter. My understanding at least, is that the expansion of the universe is not really galaxies moving away from each other, but rather the space between the galaxies expanding (stretching). So if a mythril wire ran far across that space between galaxies, one of two things would most likely happen. Either the space would not expand almost like it’s pinned in place by the existence of matter in that region, or the space would continue to expand and the mythril wire would appear to stretch with it, though actually it would be remaining entirely still, either way, the wire would not be unspooling at all.
I think it’s pretty clear from this graph that the macOS is eating their lunch, and to a lesser extent, Linux.
Well iOS only shows up on the graph right at the end, in 2025. You’ll note that it correlates perfectly with a large drop in MacOS. This must be people using an iOS browser on their Mac, this is possible if you’re mac has Apple silicon. I don’t know why people would do that, but that’s what it looks like.
Ok, I get that. But what’s the water for?
My in-laws are coming to stay in our spare room for the holidays. They’re old and getting to be a bit frail these days, what should I put in their room to make them more comfortable?

If you like building things, I’ve been playing the hell out of “Mars First Logistics”.
Basically, you build custom mars rovers to move increasingly ridiculous shipments across the red planet. And the whole game has the visual style of a Lego instruction manual.
Ok, so you can go out all the time without “going out” all the time. You don’t have to go shopping or to bars or expensive events, there are cheap activities out there. Parks are a good option, go for a walk, take photos of wildlife, go fishing, fly a kite. Or get into biking, or juggling, parkour. Or join a club, book clubs or film clubs are a lot of fun not expensive and you get to meet people and have real conversations. Go to your local library, they can tell you about upcoming free events, it connect you with clubs, or communities. While you’re there, ask the library if they have cheap or free tickets to things like museums or zoos, they often do.
There are a whole lot of ways to disconnect, but one thing is absolutely certain, you’re stuck on social media because you’re using social media. Just stop using it and it can’t trap you or control you. You can stay in touch with people with text messaging and phone calls, it totally still works. Also, a good reason to disconnect is just to distance yourself from “the algorithm”, don’t let some machine tell you what it thinks you should like, figure out what you like for yourself.
