Instead of a “renaissance man”, I’m a “renaissance nerd”. Pinball? Sure. Sci-fi? Of course. video games? Natch. 70’s Italian Prog-rock? A raison d’etre.

Mbourgon,

In parts of Texas it was that on Pi day also!

Mbourgon,

Please remember that the greasy orange fucko is ALSO a genocidal zombie.

iPad Pro 2022 13" vs iPad Air 2024 13"?

I am looking at these two, trying to find a deal on the Pro 2022 that makes it close to the price of the 13" 2024 Air. Right now the “deals” are still in the $999 range for it, as opposed to $800 for the Air. Which sucks - seems like the 2022 is still better, but $200 is $200. I have a pro 10.5" now, but the lure of bigger...

Mbourgon,

Thanks for that. The 2022 pro has the m2, but that’s a pretty damn big list of things I’d missed.

Thank you!

Mbourgon,

Thanks for being the voice of sanity, um, SatansMaggotyCumFart

Mbourgon,

Is there a link? Clicking on the image just brings up the image here.

Mbourgon,

And this also sounds fantastic!

Mbourgon,

Welcome aboard!

Mbourgon,

Alton Brown’s with Gruyère Is fantastic. The funny thing is, kids don’t like it because it’s got too much flavor or something. Lol.

Mbourgon, (edited )

Shit. Didn’t expect Escoffier to get pulled out here. I thought it was this recipe, but I just checked and there’s only cheddar. So now I feel like I ripped you off. foodnetwork.com/…/baked-macaroni-and-cheese-recip…

But thanks for sharing the recipe! I’ve been looking for an excuse to do a Moreau sauce for a while. I don’t think it’s an actual “mother sauce”, but still one I haven’t made. Appreciate it!

Mbourgon,

Huh? When did it go to crap? I read it for at least several years regularly. Kieran etc

Mbourgon,

116.6F. Damn.

Mbourgon,

Watched this the other day. Cool to see the whole process.

Mbourgon,

I’ve been hearing people say “not my pope” for years now. Oh, and that Jesus was too “woke” and weak, turning the other cheek.

Mbourgon,

Watch that 2-3 segment from The Abyss. Fantastic.

No spoilers please, but does Old Man’s War get better?

I’ve been really enjoying John Scalzi’s catalog- Started with Starter Villain (delightful!), The Kaiju Preservation Society (Sweet…), Lock In + Head On (fun who-done-its), The Android’s Dream (clever, enjoyable read), Agent to the Stars (funny, creative, pretty good)....

Mbourgon,

Like others have said, it’s an entirely different type of beast. It’s not your traditional “snarky but likable protagonist almost designed to be read by Wil Wheaton in the inevitable audiobook“. But it is very good military sci-fi.

Mbourgon,

I’ve done it before. No keyboard, no Bluetooth mouse,… it works. Which meanswith either a mouse or a keyboard, it’s probably great. As is, because I was able to actually work on it that way, I would say it definitely passes the sniff test.

Mbourgon,

Everyone I see using them merely uses it to blow the detritus into the street. What you’re saying makes a lot of sense, but people don’t do that

North Carolina bill to curb mask-wearing in protests could make it illegal for medical reasons too (apnews.com)

People wearing a mask during protests in North Carolina could face extra penalties if arrested, under proposed legislation that critics say could make it illegal to wear a mask in public as a way to protect against COVID-19 or for other health reasons....

Mbourgon,

F you. I love my Aloha shirts. I’ve been doing it since before it became a “dad thing”. It’s not a t-shirt, it’s not a GD polo, and it’s more fun than a button-down.

But stick some of that boogaloo shit on there? Yeah, that’s a paddlin’.

Would you say Apple is in a slump?

With the VisionPro hype already dead (maybe forever?), bad or tasteless iPad ads, purposeless updates to iPad, Apple dropping their car project, and reaching out to OpenAI or Google for AI services … it certainly feels like it to me. They’ve at least run into their limitations recently however much they want to find the...

Mbourgon,

Agreed. The demo is stunning. But this is the developer version. Look at the IPhone vs the iPhone 6.

Mbourgon,

Oh that’s cool- entirely different results from the same source!

Mbourgon,

I kind of wish that they had kept the same battery size and had absolutely stupid long battery life. “Charge it once a week“, that type of thing.

Mbourgon,

I’ve seen what seems like a super-complicated gate latch, this is elegant.

Mbourgon,

On the other side, look at BG3, which was able to incorporate fan feedback and make a superior game than they would have.
