Red cabbage gets its colour from anthocyanins, which act as a naturally-occurring pH indicator and will turn deeply red in acidic environments. That's why the colour retains, and even intensifies, when you combine with vinegar.

The original ídea for The West Wing was that the president would be an off screen character and they'd focus on the white house staff.
I would like to pitch a similar idea, a medical drama that doesn't feature any kind of doctor on screen, instead we're only seeing administrative staff, cleaners, nurses, students, other medical support staff, etc.

Made the pizza I posted about yesterday. Better than expected. Top shelf

Is like.. heroin or other depressants cannon for the matrix universe? Cause im.guesding being a human battery requires some kind of energy output or they'd just have us sedated in an easy and normal way instead of doing a whole simulation. So why are theire drugs within that simulation that defeat its own purpose. A guy nodding on digital opiates isn't gonna hafe the same human battery output as someone not doing that in matrix logic. So why would it exist in the first place? Contrary to Joe Rogan drugs are kinda proof we don't live in the matrix

Hey so its late and I'm having some trouble falling asleep so I'm dropping a take.

In paradox games... who are you playing as? Like what role are you inhabiting. If you play a red alert game you're inhabiting the role of some unseen and unheard commander, if you play Mario you're playing Mario usually. In paradox games you're playing a different thing. In a paradox game you're not playing the head of state or head of government those come and go, you're not playing a commander those also come and go, and when you're playing hoi4 for instance you remain in control as your nation succumbs to fascism or the revolution overthrows tbe old regime so you're not playing the government either. You're playing the weltgeist, you're playing the national spirit as a numen. Paradox games are fascist national mysticism taken to its logical extent.

You know you are approaching the "the meme is dead" phase of the CEO getting caught cheating when corporations join in it. Oh and now you have AI edits too.

Every time Super Eyepatch Wolf makes a video about a game I watch half of it, close the video swearing that I'll play the game myself, and then don't.

edit: hmm it seems he's only made three videos about specific games which is weird because it feels like he's done more

can't even hit on your coworkers anymore because woke

In episode 17 of the OG Gundam series, Bright tells a soldier that he is "authorized to use excessive force if necessary", which would be a pretty good line if it felt at all like it was on purpose

So I had an idea to do some credit card fraud. So hypothetically, as a regular wasp, could I get an Isreal passport and take credit cards out on it? I have no papers indicating I am Jewish but I doubt they check it that hard. I could probably get a llm to make me some.

I've started to use DeepSeek for certain technical questions for which I once used Google (because Google is shit now).

These new-fangled LLMs are actually useful when you know absolutely nothing about a topic. High-level overviews seem to be their strength.

Then again, it will occasionally get details wrong. When I point it out, it says "oopsie poopsie! 🤭 you're right! Sorry about that UwU".

I swear to God I installed Ubuntu because I was sick of Microsoft's shit and now none of my games work and I can't get a bootable USB stick with Windows on it because the tools require dependencies that are deprecated on Ubuntu 25. What the actual fuck.

I only ever pick rock when playing rock, paper scissors. Im only easier to beat if you know this. Most people don't study my patterns when playing, maybe instead of the standard closed fist for when counting off and keeping it the same I'll give the player a hint by counting with my hands in either paper or scissor position
