  • On the one hand calling it AI is annoying, but on the other we've been calling video game NPC logic "AI" for as long as I can remember and no one thinks they're actually sapient. Surely we can get to that point with GenAI as well.

  • I think it's possible to pasteurize eggs

    For sure it's possible. Like you said, they do it for eggnog. I used to work for an ice cream company and we'd do it by thoroughly whisking them and then slooooowly stirring them into a hot mix of cream and sugar and whatnot. Not totally sure how you'd do it for this but I'm sure there's a way; maybe if you're getting the butter hot you could use that? But also not sure what benefit eggs would impart here. Maybe an extremely subtle flavor but as far as I can tell their purpose in cookies is their structure, which isn't all that relevant for an edible dough.

    Browning the butter is an interesting idea, I might try that. I worry it could reduce the moisture content though; the reason I add extra is to make up for the lack of moisture from eggs and there's already so much, I wouldn't want to add even more butter or oil lol. Maybe I could straight up add water but then I usually freeze it and idk if that would be a problem long term

  • It really does. I'm one of those who like cookie dough more than actual cookies, especially when it comes to chocolate chip. Leave out eggs, add like a tablespoon more butter, and toast the flour beforehand, and you wind up with a truly excellent edible cookie dough. In my book, the nuttiness of the flour is makes it even better than regular dough.

  • Yeah, he selected him to make DOJ appear impartial, except it doesn't look like anyone cared.

    And the reality is, not only did no one care, it actually made the department partial to not prosecuting Trump for his many, many crimes, because according to these moronic, selfish, short-sighted, anti-American Republicans, it's not a crime when the president does it. Nixon toooootally should have finished his term without resigning, I'm sure no one would have convicted him :))))

  • Bit of both. I don't think they were trying to link the communities; just making clear what instance they were on. I think the correct nomenclature would be to put ! in front of them, like !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone

    (But when I clicked "link a community" in Voyager like I did just now, it both added the ! and then formatted a link directly to blahaj in standard brackets+parentheses so tbh idk)

  • No they won't. Even as self interested pricks, their interests overlap far too much for them to ever have a real fight. The richest man in the world paired with the (ostensibly) most powerful? They both want to weaken the power of average people, keep us uneducated, keep us too tired and sick and busy to question the status quo, and deregulate our economy. Their pairing is the most bald-faced bribery possible between corporate and political America, and they will never stop benefitting each other as long as people as self-absorbed as MAGA are in power.

  • Seconding the person saying not to dual boot on a new partition. That was how I started with Linux like 10 years ago, and even then Windows would fuck up grub every time it updated and it took me ages to learn how to get boot into Linux again. Plus if you ever decide to ditch windows entirely, wiping that partition and adding it to the Linux one can be a pain in the ass.

    If all you have is a laptop and a dream, maybe that's the way. But if there are any other options...

  • I'm no astrophysicist, but isn't it possible that's exactly what that asteroid field was in the process of doing? After all, there were several "big ones" for the Falcon to land on. Especially if there are some big collisions happening to keep all the rocks from aggregating smoothly, couldn't there be a grace period between "cloud of space dust" and "planet" where there could be a dense field of sizeable rocks? However unlikely, surely there's some scenario where it's at least possible

  • Idk why I keep seeing comments like this, as though blame is a limited resource. For sure blame Republicans for actually being fascists, obviously, but Democrats deserve it too. This endgame has been visible since at least the 90s, and was impossible to miss by the time of the Tea Party. Over a decade of trying to compromise with unmistakeable fascists is inexcusable. Democrats repeatedly run a campaign playbook that both loses elections and shifts our political norms rightward over and over. Even now I see no signs that the party is interested in change. Fuck em.

  • How does the President have such wide control over government spending when that’s supposed to be Congress’s constitutional responsibility?

    Because it's on Congress to push back when another branch oversteps its power, and more than half of it is actively cheering on the destruction of our society. I can't speak to whether we'll have free and fair midterms, but if we do, electing leftists to congress would be vital to stymieing the damage quickly.

    But, yeah, who knows. That'll take at least 2 years. MAGA has already done incalculable damage, and it's been 2 weeks.
