  • Cranberry salad was a bowl of strawberry jello with cranberries and pecans with a layer of cool whip on top.

    The variation of that I’ve had involved strawberry jello, whole berry cranberry sauce and canned pineapple tidbits with the pineapple juice from the can replacing the water in the jello. No nuts or fake whipped cream, though.



  • Unironically this. I’ve only really tried it once, used it mostly because I didn’t know what libraries were out there for one specific thing I needed or how to use them and it gave me a list of such libraries and code where that bit was absolutely spot on that I could integrate into the rest easily.

    It’s code was a better example of the APIs in action and the differences in how those APIs behave than I would have expected.

    I definitely wouldn’t run it on the “can run terminal commands without direct user authorization” though, at least not outside a VM created just for that purpose.

    I was thinking more or less the same thing - if you are here illegally it’s probably both cheaper and easier to pay you $1k per person and a free flight back whence you came than to track you down, go through the legal process, and remove you against your will.


  • This is in no way new. 20 years ago I used to refer to some job postings as H1Bait because they’d have requirements that were physically impossible (like having 5 years experience with a piece of software <2 years old) specifically so they could claim they couldn’t find anyone qualified (because anyone claiming to be qualified was definitely lying) to justify an H1B for which they would be suddenly way less thorough about checking qualifications.

    Cat: Pounces onto pillow at 5am “Wake up, bitch. It’s time for my breakfast. Now I’m going to meow repeatedly into your face until you comply with my demands.”

    The solution to that is to make it very clear, from the beginning that you do not negotiate with terrorists but you do acknowledge her/him and return kindness with kindness. There’s a reason my wife’s relationship with our cat involves a lot more being bitten and meowed at until demands are met than mine does.

    Jello is just kinda… Meh.

    Prior to the development of instant gelatin aka Jello, gelatin was extremely labor intensive and thus expensive. It was rich folk food that suddenly had a massive crash in price and difficulty to make. So it was in everything for a while, until it stopped being seen as this super high-class thing that the poors finally had access to.

    Imagine the price of caviar suddenly plummeted to $0.01/oz, and what the next couple of years of cooking would look like as a result.

    The more money someone makes, the few drug tests they take.

    The more money someone makes, it’s also the less likely they’re working a job where people can be seriously harmed or killed by the direct, immediate effects of their behavior on the job. Jim from Sales being on smack is less likely to cause injury or death in the short term than forklift driver Klaus being on smack.




  • To be fair, the first 100 pages of that was justifying the set theory definition for what numbers are. The following two hundred papers are proving that a process of iterative counting we call addition functions in a consistent and useful way, given the set theory way of defining numbers. Once we get to that point, 1+1 is easy. Then we get to start talking more deeply about iteration as a process, leading to considering iterating addition (aka multiplication), iterating multiplication (aka exponents), etc. But that stuff is for the next thousand pages.

    Remember, 0 is defined as the amount of things in the empty set {}. 1 is defined as the amount of things in a set containing the empty set {{}}. Each following natural number is defined as the amount of things in a set containing each of the previous nonnegative integers. So for example 2 is the amount of things in a set containing the empty set and a set containing the empty set {{}, {{}}}, 3 is the amount of things in a set containing the empty set, a set containing the empty set, and a set containing the empty set and a set containing the empty set {{}, {{}}, {{}, {{}}}}, etc. All natural numbers are just counting increasingly recursively labeled nothing. Welcome to math.

    I can see the use if you’re for example driving an older car with mostly original kit and don’t want an anachronistic stereo in it. So you pair up your fake cassette to your modern phone and can still play Spotify or w/e with the original kit.

    There’s even an 8-Track version of it.
