Generally with baking you want a bowl for wet ingredients and a bowl for dry ingredients, then you add one to the other, in this case, dry into wet. 😉


Hey, I survived Spinal Stenosis, Charcot Foot, 2 heart attacks, open heart surgery, congestive heart failure, a stent, 3rd degree full thickness burns and skin grafts, nothing scares me any more… but I am just so very, very, tired. 🙁
Wait until tomorrow, I’m adding a secret ingredient in tomorrow’s batch. 😉

Close, stage 2 colon cancer. Surgery is the 19th.

Welp, serms like the story goes, these cookies were used in the old West the same way we use granola or energy bars today.
True? 🤷
Getting there, I’m actually excited to see the other side of surgery knowing this crap is out of me.


Boxofficemojo has it by earnings:


Michael Pachter is, was, and always will be a complete idiot. Back in the PS2 era he stated that it was no big deal if Sony sold out in North America, they could just move units over from Europe… ignoring the fact that both the video and electricity standards don’t match.
$700 isn’t a “death sentence”, know how we know this?
ROG Xbox Ally X - $1000
PS5 Pro - $750
Xbox Series X - $650
ROG Xbox Ally - $600
PS5 - $550
Steam Deck - $550
Xbox Series S - $450
If Valve REALLY wanted to break people’s brains, they would release a “Supply your own RAM and storage” version for $399.


One of the jewels in my collection:




Xbox One X is still a better choice than the Xbox Series S.
Let me explain:
It has more RAM than the Series S, so Xbox One titles and backwards compatible titles will run with Xbox One X enhancements that the Series S cannot run.
It has a physical disc drive for backwards compatible titles, DVDs, Blu Rays, and 4K UHD movies. The Series S is discless.
The only downside are newer games that are exclusive to Series S/X, but really, how many are there? Cyberpunk 2077 plays on the One X.
The new Forza won’t run, but the older ones should!
Source: Put the Xbox Series X and PS5 in the living room, moved the Xbox One X and PS4 to the bedroom. Still use it!


Farro. Boil water w/ salt, add a bag of 10 minute farro from Trader Joe’s. Reduce heat and boil 10 minutes. Drain and serve.
I like mine on the sweet side so I add dried fruit, butter, and my secret ingredient: Pie Spice:

When I was a kid, I was eating cereal and toast. A piece of toast fell in the cereal and me, being a kid, I just cut it up with a spoon and ate it anyway.
To my surprise, it made the milk and cereal warm and buttery, and made the toast slightly soft and milky. It was delicious!
And so ever since then, when I have cereal and toast, I dunk the toast in the cereal. Everyone thinks this is weird. EVERYONE!!
To which I reply “Great! More for me!”


Heard all the good things about Disco Elysium and found it on sale for the Steam Deck… Could not stand playing a character with traumatic brain injury. I thought I did something wrong generating the character, no, fanbase assures me that’s the way it’s supposed to be… Refunded it in less than an hour.


65" and it’s impressive with ONE drawback… Samsungs HDR implementation SUCKS. Suuuuuuuucks.
Without HDR, everything is bright, crisp, and clean.
With HDR, it’s dark, muddy, and unwatchable.
I’ve done all the firmware updates, RTINGS calibrations, NOTHING works.
Well, nothing except disabling HDR on every device attached to it.


I bought one on the premise of both PS5 and Xbox Series X releasing 8K content.
We got:
The Touryst - Not a bad game, but not needing 8K either.
Ori and the Will of the Wisps supported 6K, GREAT game.
On the PS5 Pro (through PSSR upscaling)
F1 24 (at 60 FPS)
Gran Turismo 7 (at 60 FPS)
No Man’s Sky (at 30 FPS)
Pure Pool Pro (at 30 FPS with ray tracing)
[REDACTED] (at 60 FPS)
The Callisto Protocol (at 30 FPS with ray tracing)
And that’s it…


They can, but they also don’t meet the corporate dictate of “Everyone use AI.” 😉


Not at all wrong, just showing what can be done with virtually zero effort and time.
I could most likely perfect it in a few minutes more, still a fraction of the time of doing it by hand. I’m not extending a proof of concept to win arguments on the Internet. 😉
But as I noted at the bottom of the comment, which apparently nobody bothered to read, there are ALREADY royalty free libraries for this kind of thing. So it also has to be faster than searching libraries that are already there.
Of course that action is it’s own time sink as anyone who has gone looking for “the perfect font” can tell you.
There’s probably money to be made in purchasing the IP of these failed live service games and using the assets and art to make good single player games with an actual story.
I’d play the hell out of an Assassin’s Creed ish game in the Brink universe.
