#obsolescence programmée
Le #four combiné micro-onde est dead. Il date de 2010.

Après que la partie micro-onde ait cessé de fonctionner il y a un mois, c'est la porte qui m'est restée dans la main. Les plastiques sont désintégrés.
Pas #réparable car plus de pièces de rechange.

Il va falloir passer en revue les 12 millions de four disponibles. Pour en trouver un qui va au mieux durer 15 ans.

Si quelqu'un a une recommandation pour un four électrique #DURABLE, je suis à l'écoute.

"You don't make money by posting one spam. If every spammer had to pay the actual recovery costs (energy, chillers, capital amortization, wages) for their query, every AI spam would lose (lots of) money."

Yes. The interesting part of it is the question when somebody calls the cheque and what happens then (or whether, what seems more likely, the ecosystem breaks down first).

This is only one part of the massive shitberg.

The "courses" were the precursors to the current era's rise-and-grind hustle-culture scams (again, the only people getting rich from that stuff are the people selling the courses – the "students" finish the course poorer). They promised these laid-off workers, who'd given their lives to their former employers before being discarded, that they just needed to pull themselves up by their own boostraps:

Wow, @pluralistic is on fire again, this time explaining how the scam economy, AI, and hustle culture make everyone's lives worse (but especially those of the scammed scammers):

An excellent essay by @pluralistic in which he reminds us that spammers are frequently victims, who’ve been tricked into joining an or other get-rich-quick scheme that uses as a mechanism to recruit fresh victims.

Obviously, there’s more than one kind of spam, and a lot of it is indeed generated by straight-up bad actors. But more than you might think comes from scam victims who are pressured or tricked into extending the scam.

«But the factor that predicts whether someone is connable […] [is] their desperation. The kid selling drugs on the corner, the mom desperately DMing her high-school friends to sell them leggings, the cousin who insists that you get in on their shitcoin – they're all doing it because the system is rigged against them, and getting worse every day.»
@pluralistic on why the are the -scammees. A must-read.

In any scam, any con, any hustle, the big winners are the people who supply the scammers - not the scammers themselves. The kids selling dope on the corner are making less than minimum wage, while the respectable crime-bosses who own the labs clean up. Desperate "retail investors" who buy shitcoins from Superbowl ads get skinned, while the MBA bros who issue the coins make millions (in real dollars, not crypto).

j'ai fait du pain aux graines.
pour cela, j'ai roulé chaque boule de pâte, 6 en tout, dans un mélange alterné de graines avant de mettre chaque boule dans un moule à cake.

j'ai également roulé les pâtons dans les graines pour leur dessous : c'est ma partie préférée du pain, les graines grillées incrustées dans la pâte trouvées par hasard au fond du moule.

Eh ben là, j'ai aidé un peu beaucoup le hasard 🤭 !

Le dessous du pain aux graines. On peut voir que les boules de pâtes sont incrustés du même mélange de graines alternatif sur leur dessous, du coup la pâte a bien doré elle a pris la forme du fond du moule et les graines sont dorées également. Le tas de graines coincé au fond du moule c'est ma partie préférée du pain alors autant de laisser aucune chance au hasard en blindant le dessous avec des graines. Je vais me régaler 🤭.

il est possible de préparer ET CUIRE ses propres poteries chez soi, sans besoin d'un kiln ni d'outils particuliers.
C'est fou ! (et en même temps pas tant que ça, les peuples primitifs n'avaient pas de kiln, et nous avons des briques facilement accessibles après tout !) .

une vidéo très didactique où on apprend beaucoup (sautez vers le dernier quart pour voir la cuisson).
