TIL jackfruit was a thing that existed lol. Will see if I can get any in my area. Might go well with a sweet BBQ sauce?

Thanks and thanks! Will check that out.

How does it make you feel when I say the word... "moist"? Moist. Moiiiiiisssttt

Damn that looks good. I went vegetarian about 4 years ago and, while I have no regrets, I do miss pulled pork...like, a lot. I'm totally gonna enjoy those sandwiches vicariously through you lol.

I buy the jars instead of the packets and have started refrigerating them. May go ahead and start putting the extras in the freezer. Nice tip.

Old yeast?

Had a couple loaves do that because the yeast was old and only had enough oomph to do the first proof.

Lol. Their comment is like telling a depressed person to "just cheer up". Yeah, super helpful. Thanks so much.

Some of us don't have access to or live in a public transit utopia. c/FuckCars is that way ➡️

Dell Dimension 2400 or a descendant of that?

That was THE computer to have in college when I went.

Maybe one in 10 dream of owning an RV lol

Because that's me. I'd love to have a solar-charged EV-RV and just van-life life it across North America in my retirement years.

Looks a lot like the Pontiac Aztek to me.

Yeah, I never got that. I mean, I got what they were going for, but the realist in me always sees what goes into a "digital afterlife" as being a copy with no continuity of consciousness. The copy could still miss her husband, though, and I wasn't even thinking about that TBH.

I guess the way I saw it was that "If there is an afterlife, that wouldn't have been 'her' in the machine and she'd have been able to have both.".

Why would we? lol, we wouldn't. But when management says "Help Delores with her app problem", what are you gonna do?

The grammar pedant in me is annoyed they're not called "The Beverlys Crusher" lol.

No/Low-Code: Letting people who don't know what they're doing half-ass things poorly without understanding the first thing about it and leaving them completely incapable of fixing it when something goes wrong and then pissing off actual developers when they have to go into the Playskool interface to fix it.

The elderly are still being shoved away in a simulation of their golden years, because I guess that is easier than trying to make room for them in the real world

Yorkie kind of had it bad in the real world her whole life. I can sympathize (though mercifully not directly relate). And I'd much rather San Junipero myself than live out my days in a nursing home. YMMV, obviously.

afterlife" still places everyone's continued existence at the mercy of real-world infrastructure that could decide to just turn them off at any time.

In a lot of ways, Upload is something of a sequel to San Junipero lol

I'm an American, and I agree. It's not so much the American cast, but the tone shift that came along with the move to Netflix.

Brooker via https://movieweb.com/charlie-brooker-responds-to-black-mirror-criticism-netflix/ :

"Arguably the happiest [episode] I've ever written was San Junipero and I just did that off my own back. I was aware we're going on a global platform now, so we've got to make these stories a bit more international. And I wanted to mix it up a bit, as in not just keep doing bleak-a-thons."

That said, "San Junipero" is one of my favorite episodes. Probably because, at the time, it was the rare happy ending.

But at the end of the day, it's still a great show that wonderfully extrapolates current tech trends into varying "10 minutes into the future" dystopian scenarios. Sometimes we need to think everything will work out. :shrug:

🎵 Pepper Ann, Pepper Ann, much too cool for lousy dates. 🎵

Most of the last mile fiber network is passive (doesn't require active electronics to pass the signal like DOCSIS/cable internet or ADSL).

Cable and DSL typically have the equivalent of UPSs in their neighborhood nodes, but they often go unmaintained.

...yeah. I blocked that whole instance a week or two ago. c/Piracy just isn't worth it. Also, never liked that Unruffled person all that much, and I really don't like them after this ""It's only genocide if I can blame the US - otherwise it's just 'Sparkling Crimes Against Humanity'" 🙄
