Min found an “easy” breakfast burrito recipie on Instagram and I tried it. There are certainly less steps than a traditional breakfast burrito and aside from the flipping it wasn’t hard to make. (Hear me yelp at the 1:25 mark 😂) I prefer the traditional method of scrambling the eggs separately and building the burrito from scratch. Doing it all in the pan means the eggs get cooked, overcooked really. They can’t be loose at all and the texture isn’t as nice (IMHO). Still fun to try!

Time-Lapse video of me building a breakfast burrito hole in the pan. Heating the burrito pouring that scrambled eggs and letting it cook, adding sausage and chives and then the fajita on top. flipping it rolling it serving.

@gedeonm I want to tell you about the Pepper Canon but that electric is not too shabby. Agreed on the points re scratch burrito. This is more like breakfast quesadilla lol Fast counts sometimes though!

Is thinner really better??

@gedeonm I think lighter is better at least

shadowbottle,
@shadowbottle@mastodon.social avatar

@gedeonm over thinner, for sure. I’ve been saying that for years! More battery > thinness. Definitely in iPhone. I can see where there might be a split on iPads re weight though - not thinness >_<

On Deep Space 9, it appears that you can get differently designed cups from different replicators even if you order the same drink a bunch of times within the same episode. I wonder if this is a per-replicator setting or if the system randomizes it to add a bit of spice. 🤔

There’s never been a better time to get into Fallout 76

Fallout 76 is good now. Actually, it’s always been good.

@arstechnica if you’ve ever played a Bethesda game you knew what to expect at launch. 76 was a fun buggy wasteland, just like Skyrim and fallout 3/4 before it. But it was still fun. Bethesda has some shitty qualities just like every other AAA company out there. I’d argue that 76 is a little less fun than it was during launch, but still a fallout 4 level entry quality-wise. I don’t care for the seasons board game stuff but there are some fun events. Not as friends friendly as I’d like, even now.

I think my older AirPods v2 are dying. I can barely get any volume out of them any more. When I use my AirPod pros I can hear them loud and clear but I don’t like them as much, they never stay in my ears.

Hate to spend rhe money on a new fresh set of AirPods (non Pros) but i can barely hear what I’m listening to anymore. Boo! 🫠

shadowbottle,
@shadowbottle@mastodon.social avatar

@gedeonm for your pros these could make them usable - for me it was just my left ear they wouldn’t stay in >_< With these I’ve never had a problem and my AirPods are my backups now (the dynamic volume stuff is amazing) https://a.co/d/3d5bKbQ

I used Comply and they worked very well too, but the foam masters are just better. Protip - get them in black so you don’t have to see the ear gunk stains over time 🤢

A few weeks ago I took my phone case off my iPhone 15 Pro Max and I haven't looked back since.

Feels like I've been reborn again, a born again caseless!

Try it, you won't regret it unless your butter fingers ass is used to dropping your phone like my partner is, in that CASE...

The team responsible for the FaceTime app on tvOS needs a VERY stern talking-to. Just for starters, take a look at the menu that appears when trying to start a call with a person.

Now imagine if it actually showed the emails or phone numbers for any of these choices. But no, you just have to guess! It’s on a giant TV screen! There’s plenty of room! It is MADDENING!

60 Minutes continues their multi-year investigation into Havana Syndrome and possible acoustic attacks on American citizens. The US intelligence community came out last year and said these people weren’t attacked. They just suffer from some unknown environmental issue.

I call total bullshit. Evidence is overwhelming at this point and 60 Minutes’ reports keep piling up. At some point the government is gonna have to admit someone (probably Putin) is responsible.

@gedeonm it feels like the US is juggling not making the case for what would amount to WWIII with Russia and Putin keeps trying to set shit off in the tiniest increments he can. We’ve so obviously been in a room-temperature war with them for years now.
