Rao’s might be among the pricier sauces in the US?
It is. It’s a high-quality sauce made by a very famous restaurant in New York City. It’s one of those few products that immediately stands out when someone tries a blind taste test on you.

- Comment on A million new SpaceX satellites will destroy the night sky — for everyone on Earth 2 weeks ago:
Why would we cut the power before deorbiting them? But if you wanna be more aggressive like that, then how about a magnifying glass to focus sunlight on the satellite like a bully to ants?
Maybe exchange energy with some sort of maneuver to stay in orbit longer?
“No officer, I did not ‘run into their car…’ I improved their gas mileage by exchanging energy.”

As someone who codes, I specifically didn’t say “always” because of course it’s not always true. Especially in the cases of “garbage in, garbage out.”
But there’s still an argument to be made for mental load and context, for which I’d argue that planning solutions and then writing the code generally is more taxing than someone handing you suggested solutions with semi-complete code or pseudo-code, and then identifying road blocks.
On the other hand, if someone you trust unexpectedly hands you hallucinated garbage, then you’re likely to spin your wheels trying to identify what they did.
- Comment on A million new SpaceX satellites will destroy the night sky — for everyone on Earth 2 weeks ago:
Destroying these satellites with lasers poses a similar problem to what happens when you light zombies on fire: the satellites are held in space by their momentum and the reduced atmosphere vs Earth’s gravity. If you break the satellites into pieces via laser, then now you have uncontrolled and unpredictable space junk to deal with. Some of the pieces might return sooner, but what was once a concern is now a problem. Just like a zombie at your door is very concerning, a zombie on fire at your door is an immediate problem.
Now, what could be interesting would be sending up another satellite that sprays black paint on the sun-facing side of other satellites. The energy absorbed and then exhausted could propel it towards Earth sooner. Maybe? I dunno, I’m just a simple country Fartographer, your honor.

If you’re unable to brute-force verification (research, testing, consulting the ancient texts), there’s where you stop what you’re doing, and take a breath. Then, consult an expert. Just like the film critic analogy, it’s easier to verify than to create, so you’re saving the expert time and effort while learning about something that you were obviously already passionate enough about to have started this endeavor.

With my trusty LLM, I follow the steps recommending that I try reaching inside the die press to look for any jammed parts that could have caused the machine to suddenly stop working. My coworker, who my boss sent to assist me based on instructions from her LLM, asks his LLM how to help me. My coworker’s LLM recommends that he check if the emergency stop button has been pulled…

This flight is already going to smell awful, but I’d imagine that 2, 9, & 10 will have the strongest smells.

No, it’s dried beef. And most canned brines are made from water with salt and spices, not urine.

Unfortunately, that one is already reserved for Budd Dwyer. The years of corruption and cover-up are now a daily occurrence, and his ultimate public apology and suicide showed a level shame and empathy that you couldn’t find in these days.

If that dragon didn’t want its tail tickled, it wouldn’t have sat there all coy-like with a screwdriver nearby. Now if you’ll excuse me, I think I saw a fork in the same room as an outlet.
- Comment on How possibly? 3 weeks ago:
As a white guy, I have the kind of privilege that allows me enough space to realize that I’m sad. Hell, I could probably just walk up to a cop and tell them I’m sad, and they’d offer me some horrible, but well-meaning advice.
But when I mention my Judaism, something interesting might happen. Especially if I told them that my Zionist family lives in Israel. But the real excitement will start when I say “free Palestine.”
But the saddest part of all is that I could say nothing, and just be white, and no one will give a fuck. It’s mostly sad because I’m incapable of saying nothing.
