  • It was because aspics were meant to 'contain' stuff, not just be gross, savory Jell-O. Like, a traditional aspic salad would have various fruits suspended in it.

    I think when gelatin became common in grocery stores, people were just all about the novelty. If you read cookbooks from the 50s that have these recipes in them, you see a commonality — people were just chuffed as chips that they could make a cake that jiggles lol.

  • Are you describing cops?

  • I had one of these colleagues. He insisted that he respects force, but whenever I pushed back, homie would run crying to our mutual boss.

    One time, I snapped and yelled at him that I am a 15 year veteran, I know how to do my job. I ended up being forced to apologize to him for not respecting his 'many years of experience.'

  • Boy, that is going to just encourage companies like RealPage. 😬 How much more can rent go up before it starts cutting into people's grocery or medicine budgets?

  • I feel ya, I'm in the same place. Weed helps the rumination a lot but then I'm just high all the time and not really present. I decided to take a big step back from online messaging. Now I try to either text directly or do FaceTime. I dunno why, but, after basically needing Internet to live for 25 years, I just feel so ready to put it down now.

  • Some particles of light begin their journey in the Sun, then they travel for 8 - 9 minutes to Earth, only to end up blinding some ape as they're hurdling down a stone road in a two ton explosion-powered locomotive.

  • Dump calls Junior out... ¡¡¡¡LET'S SEE DEM FILES, YOOOOOOOO!!!!

  • Him, sure. But journalists are grilling everyone around him, it's a matter of time until one snaps and breaks rank. There was a clip of a journalist grilling Pam Bondi on the client list going around from just yesterday.

  • Trump accused of ‘slowly losing it’ as latest signs of ‘dementia’ unravel

    Jump

  • I saw a clip of Trump speaking in 2020 this morning as I did my daily video catch-up over coffee, and it really struck me how much sicker he looks now compared to just 5 years ago, where he already looked like a wet mop on a clothing line.

    I know the Presidency ages you, but that's regular presidents who work. Something else is aging this guy this quickly.

  • Tux having fingers kinda creeps me out.

  • We need to start calling it Simulated Intelligence (SI)

    Jump

  • To be fair, 'artificial' literally just means 'made through skill,' in opposition to natural, meaning 'occurs as-is.' I agree with you that there is a better word out there than 'artificial' for these spicy autocorrects.

  • Scientists make game-changing breakthrough that could slash costs of solar panels: 'Has the potential to contribute to the energy transition'

    Jump

  • That makes sense. If I understood everyone clearly, it's not the idea to use a fresnel that's new here, it's the fact that we just haven't yet had anything capable of withstanding those temperatures and still allowing for the piezoelectric effect to happen.

  • Scientists make game-changing breakthrough that could slash costs of solar panels: 'Has the potential to contribute to the energy transition'

    Jump

  • I am not a scientist so please correct me if I am off base, but did it really take them this long to attempt to focus light onto PV cells using a fresnel lens?

    My hobby as a 15 year old was buying broken projectors to harvest the fresnel lenses in the lamp on top. They could focus sunlight so powerfully that you could burn shit. I didn't do that, surprisingly. I was like Marge Simpson, I just thought they were neat.

  • It takes a village...

    Jump

  • Just as someone who was dumped onto the church and community because my parents were both Christian fundamentalists AND tired of parenting, I can genuinely disagree with the notion that 'no conservative says that.' It was said to me all the time as a way to justify their total lack of interest in me.

  • That is not necessarily true.

    A giant part of the engine that powers the Great Wheel of Conspiracy Theories is the intoxicating allure that anyone who follows along will be 'in the know', and once all is revealed, everyone will come crawling back them begging for forgiveness and fawning praise on them for being so ahead of the game and in-the-know.

    The desperate attempts at convincing everyone around them are an early sign of Conspiracy Brain, and is what then leads to the further effects of Conspiracy Brain, which is everyone around them getting annoyed, yelling at them or pushing back with an attempt at a serious debate, and then self-isolating and choosing to only associate with a clade of similarly-online weirdos who self-reinforce one another and enable a greater separation from the plot that the rest of us are following along to. The overwhelming majority of these people are not grifters, they are rubes. They are believers, not the cynical, power-obsessed, fascist element that is using them to put a bridle on federal power.

    I know I asked the question originally, but I only asked because it has been such a present thing in my (meatspace) life. I've seen friends and family disappear down the same hole, all the same way, and all the same end up here, at 'crazy asshole filling every square inch of his 1989 dodge hooptie with magic marker writing' all the same. I don't get why it happens this way.

    My best guess is that this is the last way possible for people who have been deeply isolated by anger and rage to communicate their dumb theories to people they haven't exhausted yet. Perhaps the effect of utterly exhausting everyone around you is the common cause of it all.
