IMO stew should be a small amount of (cheap) meat, stock, and lots of veggies.

Where I’m at they sell backs of stew vegetables for cheap: carrots, onion, turnip, cabbage. I think if you put all of those things in you have a pretty nutritious meal.

In terms of making it taste good, garlic and bay leaves help.

Should have said 2nd place

Xbox One Series X or S

I think there’s a bit of confusion due to Microsoft’s insane naming conventions. These consoles exist:

1. Xbox One
2. Xbox One X
3. Xbox Series S
4. Xbox Series X

OP is talking about (2).

Technically there has been an exploit found:

But it might be only for (1) and it’s not clear if there’s a practical way to use it yet.

I love all his books, but I just want to recommend The Unconsoled. I found it an absolute trip and it’s one of my favourite books.

This seems like bait because what kind of union has you working 7 days a week?

Quantum Leap, great show. Scott Bakula, very handsome man. Could go back and time to find the prettiest ladies, at any age. We have the best scientists working on it.

Something like that

Yeah for sure. Echoing their thoughts is exactly what they want. They just want good acting skills.

I heard death comes in threes, I misheard it, bein’ from Dublin

I thought “death’s in the trees”

Which makes sense 'cause they’re the saddest removed

Of plants I have seen, oh, the drama of them dying every year

I love that bit so much

Edit: oh my instance censored me

confident they would operate like most other cable companies

Oh god, imagine this being the best case scenario

Not OP but I was a pretty competent C/C++/C# programmer first. Lisp and Haskell both totally changed how I thing about programming. I’ve used all the other languages you listed and I don’t think any of them have a unique philosophy to offer, except maybe rust for the memory model.

Lisp teaches you how flexible programming languages should be. Haskell teaches you about things like higher kinded types, and exposes you to loads of cool category theory stuff. Other languages can probably accomplish these goals, but I don’t think any of the alternatives you listed could.

Erling Haaland: this is what I’ve actually been training for

You don’t have to drink a verification can, but you do need to buy a verification phone.

Those were just random examples that came to mind. I’m sure there are places where people have an impression of Chinese people based on tourists, etc.

Americans just stand out because you see them everywhere, because they have a huge amount of wealth.

The point I was trying to make is that it’s tourists in general who might tend to be more annoying.

I think they are just talking about annoying main-character type people you see traveling all over the world. It’s not really an American thing, it’s just that a you’re likely to come across an American one of these assholes due to various statistical factors. I’m sure in Spain they have the same idea about the English, or in Indonesia about Australians.

If you’re the type of person to think about this and contemplate how people perceive you, I strongly suspect you are not going to annoy anyone.

Yep!

If you want a cheerful alternative to everyone boiling, you can read The Road

it’s less greasy

This is a deal-breaker. It should be like fried bread, not toast

They’re going to have to generate at least 10 new Ayn Rand novels to feed into the next training data set.

Because it wasn’t obvious to me from the article, and I was trying to figure out whose sovereign tech fund it is:

The Sovereign Tech Agency is financed by the German Federal Ministry for Digital Transformation and Government Modernisation and is a subsidiary of SPRIND, the Federal Agency for Disruptive Innovation.
