If you keep flour in the kitchen, roll the steak around in some after you cut it up. It’ll keep the steak just a bit more moist when you brown it and it’ll help thicken up the juices a bit too. (It’s one of those “just right” things. You don’t want to just dust it, but you aren’t trying to make fried chicken either.)
I wanna give him a beret
That card doesn’t give me much hope for AI designed PCBs. At least there isn’t a shortage of PCIe 1x pins though…
The one where the the front fell off?
no need to seriously adapt to their environment.
Yeah, cats make everyone and everything adapt to their environment. You have to completely go outside the environment to avoid their influence.
I googled a bit and it seems that there are some edge cases in D&D where powerful mummies can control minions and create new mummies.
(I didn’t dig into the lore enough to find out if you need to be dead first.)
I was teaching myself assembly language and C when I was in 7th grade, so sure. If a kid is self-motivated enough then the sky is the limit.
Kids are capable of some amazing things if given the right tools, enough time and plenty of positive reinforcement.
Eat a bag of dicks.
Do a look-through of that XML folder as well. Images could be base64 encoded in those XML files. I remember several instances where XML was used as a template “language” for old style GUIs. (When XML and HTML diverged, a lot of that kind of thing was happening.)
There are some kind of instructions in this video that go through a logo change process. I don’t know if this helps, but I tried: https://youtu.be/QrobPTgu7C0
Also, does it use some kind of database? The images seem like they would be small enough to jam into a blob and just store alongside regular inventory information. If there is a database, it’s probably third-party. If it’s third-party, I would see if it had its own installer packaged inside of the application installer itself. (A third party database would likely be outside of the main app folder.)
Just dumping random thoughts.
When I use it, I use it to create single functions that have known inputs and outputs.
If absolutely needed, I use it to refactor old shitty scripts that need to look better and be used by someone else.
I always do a line-by-line analysis of what the AI is suggesting.
Any time I have leveraged AI to build out a full script with all desired functions all at once, I end up deleting most of the generated code. Context and “reasoning” can actually ruin the result I am trying to achieve. (Some models just love to add command line switch handling for no reason. That can fundamental change how an app is structured and not always desired.)
“It is a really simple design, but it takes a long time. We are just rewarding them sugar water when we give them drugs.”
They could probably just give them more lines of blow… just sayin’…
I wanted to help clarify that many fungi do actually produce anti-fungal compounds. It doesn’t make sense at first, but mycelium can be insanely competitive and it’s usually “at war” with other types of fungi where growing conditions are ideal.
Edible mushroom growers may have to deal with trichoderma infections from time to time. That little bastard fights mainly by mass multiplication and rapid growth. It’ll choke out and dominate other strains before they have a chance to produce any effective defense.
When starting a mushroom grow, it’s basically just tilting the initial mycelium battles in the favor of the strain you want so it has a chance to dominate and kill other strains of fungi.
It’s not a far stretch to assume that fungi developed odd chemical compounds if it even slightly increased survival odds. Any psychedelic aspects could be just an unintentional side effect that helped promote cultivation.
Just a quick note that many psychedelics were legalized in Colorado a couple years back. Anyone can grow and consume them, but we can’t legally sell them which is fine by me.
Usually, it’s spores that are 100% legal since mycelium can contain trace psilocybin, so legality is questionable.
Psilocybin is also produced by massospora cicadina, which is a fungus that infects cicadas in a manner similar to cordyceps. Not only are the cicadas turned into zombies, they are also tripping balls at the same time.
That isn’t particularly relevant to what you were saying but I was reminded of that when you suggested anti-insect.
Anti-fungal aspects of fungi are usually in metabolites excreted by mycelium.
Geez! I grow and eat some weird strains, but that is kind crazy. Did you eat them fresh? (I have never had the balls to eat any cubes that were fresh picked, but I hear it can be a potent experience.)
Cattle or other grazing animal would be a prime candidate for loitering and then for some extended loitering. (Sorry for the shorts link, but it’s for science and it’s a time lapse of cattle in a field: https://youtube.com/shorts/hXPw-mxEBIY)
A side thought is that kind of movement would be perfect for spore distribution in a smaller area with similar growing conditions. It probably would increase the chance that similar strain momma and daddy spores meet. (Large dung piles also happens to be a decent medium for some mushroom strains.)
That still doesn’t prove anything scientifically or even build a case, but at least you got a time lapse video of cattle in a field.
Fixation (being locked in a trance staring at pretty colors and shapes) could also be positive. There is a theory that it might increase the chances that spores get stuck to fur (or clothes) and be transported to a wider area.
If I could positively ID all mushrooms I found in the wild, those spores would absolutely be transported somewhere else. ;)
Yep. If there is any company that knows what it takes to drive inefficiencies, it’s Atlassian. (Fuck them and their software.)
