That’s cool, I’ll give it a try, thanks :)

I’ve never used MSG, do you just add it during cooking, or do you have to do anything special to it? I’ve seen it compared to salt, but that’s about it.

Ah, that’s a shame. It would be really handy to be able to prepare a batch in advance. I’ll just have to try small batches and see how much I use. Thanks for replying :)

How do they have to be stored like that? Instant mash is one of my go tos when I’m feeling particularly bad, but they don’t exactly taste amazing on their own.

About 20 years ago, I lived in a shared house in the city. I worked nights, so if I left a download running when I went to bed, it would affect the others in the house. I saw a post online where someone was giving away a cable modem, and not knowing much about how they worked, I had an idea that I wanted to try.

The cable internet came into the house through a coax cable, rather than the phone line, and was split with a dumb splitter between the router and the TV. I used a spare splitter to run a cable to my room and plugged my modem in.

I tried it first on my day off so that I could check with my housemates if it caused any problems. It connected and everything worked with no issues, except that it only connected at about dial up speeds. We were going out for the night so I left it connected with some downloads running to see if it would stay connected. When we got home, the downloads that should have taken a few days were done. A speed test showed that I was getting around 35Mbps, when the fastest speed we could pay for was 4Mbps.

We later found out that apparently the street was sharing a connection (to the cabinet I think, it’s been a while), and because my modem wasn’t registered, it was just getting whatever was left over. At night, when everyone was in bed and their devices were off, it was going a lot faster. It didn’t last long, only a few months, but we took advantage of it while we could :)

It’s the ‘something’ that makes me nervous >.<

People: Oh how cool, I can monitor my chicken nuggets from my couch ~5m away.

This would genuinely be handy for me though. I’ve got a nine year old, and have similar aged kids over quite regularly. If I’m dealing with the kids, I can’t always hear the air fryer finishing. A notification to the phone that’s in my pocket would be really helpful.

As you say though, there’s always shit tacked on :(

Look for the QxR group. Lots of their releases include special features, and often as a separate folder.

I’ve got a CF-25 here. I keep meaning to find the power supply and seeing if it still works :)

Isn’t this the future you want? Not a car in sight, just trucks and trains frolicking freely, as nature intended 😉

so maybe stick a dildo on a roomba and see where that goes.

I genuinely can’t tell if this is a deliberate double entendre or not…

If we’re being pedantic, in The Matrix, Neo says ‘I know kung fu’ to explain that he both knows what all the moves are, and how to use them. As that was the topic of the post, I used the same sentence structure to mean the same thing about all languages, including programming 😉

If I could ‘cheat’ and say ‘I know every language in the world’, and that included programming languages and things like scientific notation as a language, I’d take that in a heartbeat. If not, I’d take programming, as at least then I can create things and make money.

If speaking every language included dead and forgotten languages too though, then it would be a very tough choice.
