God pls no...they won't stop until every IP is churned into a wet garbage slurry
Fernand Point, Chef, La Pyramid.
Besides the champagne every morning, this chef was one of the first to emphasize mentoring young cooks.
"You may be born to cook, but you must learn to roast."
Point was a large man, and he liked to eat. It is said that he rose early every day and ordered all the food that would be required from his regular purveyors (he forbade the recycling of leftovers from the previous day; "Every morning the chef must start again at zero, with nothing on the stove," he wrote. "That is what real cuisine is all about") and then sat down to a solitary breakfast — a light snack, like two or three roast chickens — accompanied by a bottle or two of Champagne. For his 50th birthday, on Feb 25, 1947, he cooked a modest dinner for his friends (and himself): foie gras parfait, warm woodcock pâté, a mousse of trout from the Rhône with crayfish sauce, cardoons with truffles, beef à la royale (stuffed with ham and truffles, garnished with cockscombs and more truffles), aspic-glazed cold truffled Bresse capon, Saint-Marcellin goat cheese, a marjolaine (invented by Point, this now famous cake is an elaboration of the classic merinque-and-buttercream confection called the dacquoise), lemon sorbet, and assorted fresh fruit, all irrigated with Dom Pérignon, Château Grillet 1945, and Hospices de Beaune Cuvée Brunet 1937.
He was generous with others as well as himself. In an era of obsessively secretive chefs, he shared his knowledge freely. He loved serving large portions to his customers, and roamed the dining room making sure that everyone was satisfied. He assigned young chefs to work side-by-side with their most experienced colleagues. "It is the duty of a good chef," he wrote in Ma Gastronomie, "to hand down to the next generation all that he has learned and experienced."

I am encouraging my 2 children to vote in what will probably be the Last US Elections.
Neat.
At this point the Kremlin propaganda machine is working overtime to capitalize on the Israeli war,and everyone is taking the bait thinking Fatboy is going to give 2 shits and really show those Dems!
Ah yes.... communism light™, now with more capitalism!!
Not bad, actually working on licensing my IP/trademark to a restaurant group...so that's interesting.
Yes, but counterpoint: if Ukraine actually launched 100, then the total number reported by the Kremlin would be 500+. Mostly because they are full of shit, which has been scientifically proven.
RIP a legit legend.
Had a nice dinner out with friends, Greek grilled feta with peppers and onions, Merluza (sea bass), salad, fries.
So if I remember my Russian math correctly, they actually shot down 3 of the 27 that were sent.
This was the plan (tinfoil hat time). Since the Arab spring, governments and regimes have wanted to control the free communication of people so that they would not be able to organize effectively. Now, the enshitification has taken a life of its own.
A corporate analogy/strategy is to block your competition from the market share.
For example, a company I used to work for would open accounts in non-viable/non-profitable locations so that our competition would not have the chance to get more market share.
Big corps don't give a shit if it works or not, as long as they are the biggest they can squeeze out anyone else, so they will launch whatever is trending (meta/threads) and bullshit thier way into another piece of the pie.
Cutting cherry tomatoes (olives, grapes) in half: lay your free hand over the top of a few on a cutting board and use a SHARP knife (or good serrated) to cut horizontally between your palm and the cutting board. I have seen some people use a plastic lid to do the same if you're timid (it really is safe since the surface area of your hand is flat and won't cut you easily)
On the pomegranate note, I cut in half (across the segments) and hold over a large bowl and gently spank the end with a spoon to tap out the seeds. ( I'd rather save all the juice with them).
Freedoms Flame...finally something to help from burning myself to bits!

Didn't spend any super moneys on anything for awhile and finally cashed in all that grinding.
Been awhile since I've played online with others...too much grief, getting (too) old, all the online games are FPS, everyone else studies the game like a college exam.
This is a bit different and it's been great. I usually hit quick play to end up in different scenarios with different squads, and this one was like that. We had one guy level 5000 super blood admiral citizen and one guy level -10 super earth resident who tells us he just got the game the night before, apologies (which we tut tut, none necessary- since we're all gonna die alot anyway) and we're going around and he's asking about this, and that....what does this do? sometimes it gives you super credits, rec slips, rare samples etc.
and then we come across the hellbomb.
"Hey man, see that thing?" SE Admiral
"buried in the ground?" New Guy
"Yeah, shoot that thing and it drops a stratagem rifle for you" SE Admiral
at this point I turn and run, and so does the other guy while the new guy blows the hell up and everyone is rolling, especially the new guy!
"Ah man, I've been trying to get someone to do that for a month!" he says.
And then last night I was killed by my squad 3 times vs. 2 by the bots. No grief...shit happens for managed democracy.
It's a different kind of game and one I hope we see more of.
If I somehow had my wishes heard (Hi Devs!) I would love to see 2 things.
1: different color reticle for different rifles. Currently using Defiance counter sniper and the A-M rifle have the same color and it fucks me up.
The other would be: Campaign Ribbons.
These would be doled out to those who participate in Major orders....and there would be additional swag for each, like IRL.
Did you participate in theater? ribbon. Did you complete X task? Oak leaf cluster Did you complete X qty missions? Bonze ,silver, gold star etc.
(Picture, me and my boys diving against the bots)
As someone who is in the process of immigrating to the EU (will be allowed to vote next cycle), can I get a layman's summary of the parties and what they stand for? Thanks!
Hi, I looked but did not see this posted before. I installed PLEX on the SDeck and only can navigate through the keyboard, which covers half the screen & is awkward.
Has anyone else had this issue?
The searches related to this came up with a reddit question similar. but the results from troubleshooting that way didnt work.
Suggestions?
