Most frozen pizza crusts aren't even squished flat, its a large continuous sheet of dough which gets circles stamped out of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1-2gdkOe3A The waste gets cycled back through.

I wonder how many compromises of quality go into a robotic pizza? You're not getting a robot to stretch out a 16" New York style crust; you might get it to crudely roll out a ball of dough into a thick disk. I'm sure there ar

Even on 1), the first day of the week being Sunday (US) and Monday (Europe) screws me up constantly, as someone who is in both worlds now. I often pick the wrong date for meetings because I'm assuming next Monday will be in the first c

As of today it won’t allow me to access my account at all or new Reddit in any form without providing age verification (face scan or gov ID). AI faces, video game create-a-character, and IDs off of Google all failed. Strangely I can still a

Great way to get someone to create a bot that swears in the chat every 10 minutes and 1 second to permanently shut it down.

One thing that's absolutely shocking is how "hard" it is to actually play games these days. Sit down with anything modern and between software updates, EULAs, load times, network congestion, etc. it can easily be 15-20 minute

Disappointing lack of "Why" in an article that starts with it. Are they actually doing something new and novel, or are they just absorbing that "a=b as was proven in transcendental hyper-circular group theory; and b=c was pro

Also of note the income data is combined household income (2 incomes for a married couple) and over the entire population (including 40+ later-career incomes). It's likely significantly over predicting how common $100k yearly income is

I finally had to give up my SE2 about a month ago (battery life gone, and with it nearing EOL it didn't seem worth it to get a replacement). I still miss it so much. Perfect size, and touch ID is so much better than faceID.

Unsurprisingly, the "Who's Hiring" almost perfectly tracks the "Software Development Job Postings on Indeed in the United States" data from the fed, though it doesn't go as far back. https://fred.stl

AI feels to me like having access to someone who got a D in literally every single course offered at a university. If you don't know anything about the subject they are smarter than you. If you do know the subject its unsettling how ba

I've been replaying a lot of Gamecube (emulated) games recently and its kindof shocking just how quick you can get into the game. From hitting run Run to first Player Input is seconds in most cases. No console bootup, no system updates

AKA "we just passed the 8th anniversary of the Elder Scrolls 6 announcement trailer" Also worth noting Skyrim first came out on the 360; an honor shared by GTA5, but at least they have an imminent release.

Isn't this just Pollarding and/or Coppicing, which have been practiced for at least 2000 years in Europe (and probably many other cultures as well), with a healthy dose of orientalism added on top?

"Free" as in our electric bill was basically unchanged before and after it; and we still get 10-15% lower humidity on average which has taken care of our (minor) mold problems.

Another "recently Irish" here - Ours has been on constantly for nearly a year. Any decent one has humidity set points - we set ours for 55%. It's a bang-bang controller with a 5% range - it'll run until humidity drops to

I've ordered 2 sets off of AliExpress (the Stargate BC303 and BC304 MOCs) and was quite impressed. No box, digital instructions, and a few minor color swapped pieces; but complete and everything went together very well.

It wasn't terribly difficult, you just have to find a company to hire you. Weirdly the biggest issue I ran into was companies not believing I was willing to relocate and assumed I was just some idiot looking for a remote role. The para

Ireland is solid, especially for any sort of biotech/medical. Strong critical skills immigration path, good wages, pretty much every major company has a facility there (many rivaling the US sites in size), friendly and welcoming place.

I don't see any way we're not heading back to the multipolar world. They've managed to burn almost all of the goodwill and soft power that took 80 years to accumulate in 373 days. Even with a "return to normalcy", t

The single superpower thing was an anomaly which was mostly a result of one specific country being largely untouched by WW2; we're more likely heading back towards multiple regional powers with varying levels of cooperation, e.g. EU+Me

This could have been designed in CFD in an afternoon. Building it in real life is always somewhat cool but the amount of hype they're putting on this is crazy.
