Yeah, was gonna say - this guy is another one of the “always, in every context, thinking about gay sex” closeted Republicans. Religion does this to them, the systematic and merciless repression of sexuality causes it to become an immense burden.

Well. Robin Williams, a (hilarious) American comedian and actor, gained much of his early fame/notoriety on a TV show called Mork and Mindy circa 1978 in which Robin played an alien named Mork.
The show was actually a spinoff of Happy Days, where the “Mork” character first appeared.
“Bjork and Bindi” is clearly a play on words that leverages this.
I barely managed to understand this and I am from this era.


Awesome. 👍 There’s variations in stoves and beans, etc, so if for some reason they’re too al dente, just keep cooking in 15 minute increments until you’re where you want to be.


That looks and sounds great! I use navy beans in my seven vegetable soup.



The great thing is you are in control. My navy beans, for example (and you should try them, they have such a great flavor when cooked in salted water as described) - if you don’t want mush, just cook them for 1 hour (instead of 2) after the soak. They will be discrete and the skins will be intact and they will be absolutely al dente. I bet you’ll dig them.


For 1/2 lb beans I use 3 cups water and 1/2 Tbs kosher salt.


It does make a difference. It’s not preservation, the beans will still go bad, but soaking and cooking in salt water reduces the water available to microbes and inhibits their growth. The result is (and I have observed this directly) the beans last about twice as long in the fridge before they start to have that “I’m not gonna eat that” appearance and smell.
Can someone explain to me why Rust enthusiasts are so evangelical about it? I get that it’s memory safe, OK - super great. But rewriting a stable, small-but-important legacy tool doesn’t seem like a good place to prove its worth. Surely there are a million better places? And yet when I heard about this, it totally seemed to track. I’ve never touched Rust but I already find its proponents to be strangely focused on it. I never felt such religious zeal with regard to a programming language.


OMG another Derry Girls DS9 mashup! And it’s good too. 👏


The most common response on social media to the democracy crisis in the USA seems to default to a need for extreme violence.
I know there are actual people like this, but I do think it’s mostly foreign bots beating the war drums. It happens here too, though far less than on Reddit.


“It was necessary to make changes, but not in this way, sacrificing our civil rights and liberties that are enshrined in our Constitution,”
Oh now he’s concerned about civil rights, now that he’s gonna be losing some weight. Yeah OK bud.


If they’re truly dumbfounded by all this, then they’re so braindead that they very likely voted for it. No sympathy at all.


Cyberpunk has a city that actually feels like a real city to me.


Funniest foreign language TV show of all time, lol. I fr had to have subtitles going the whole way but I cried laughing at times. I’m so in love with Saoirse.


In the age of LLMs, it’s pretty well guaranteed that it’s going to be far worse than described in a study from five years ago. Anecdotally, it feels to me like closer to half if not more of the responses I get are engagement bait. It’s not just corpo, a lot of it is government trolls trying to shape opinion, domestic government and foreign governments. I don’t post anymore at all - just read - and that only in my very niche communities that aren’t likely to be targeted for this kind of bullshit.


Which is more likely, that someone made an offhand remark in an attempt to make a joke or that someone believes all corporations exist in China?


Sure if you can get to Beijing.
Oh hey, that was easy. I guess they have nothing to hide after all!
