You’ve clearly never had it. You neck it immediately, it’s an espresso shot, but instantly cooled by flowing over an ice cube. It’s not watered down any significant amount, you don’t wait for the ice cube to melt, you’re missing how much latent energy there is in the change between frozen and liquid in ice. There’s plenty to cool a small shot without melting the whole thing. It keeps the sweetness and even most of the texture of the original shot, it’s just not hot, it’s worth trying

Espresso is often served over an ice cube in Spain, and it’s fuckin great, to use the technical term. If it’s hot, I’m all for the cold and tasty

I’ve fitted one into my old pickup, but again not worth the amount of complication that they generally come with, eg a massive screen in the dash and the canbus nonsense to go with it. I’d rather not have the level of canbus integration of modern cars, where a locking module or whatever failing can stop the whole car working

Not sure that it’ll be available this side of the Atlantic that soon, but it does seem pretty interesting

That’s very much my thinking, the kits have come down in price a huge amount recently, so it’s almost achievable now

I’d love to buy an electric car, but I want one with no electronics, if that makes sense. Electric power train, but no screens, “driver aids” or other nonsense

Good lad, fuck Palantir in every way possible

Exactly. I’m ok with a tiny screen as long as it does android auto, and I can see a photo fairly clearly. The 4s was pretty ideal

That does look like a decent phone. What Os do you run?

There seems to be a trend for larger phones that I’m just not on board with. It’s one of the reasons I’ve stuck with apple - the iPhone 13 mini is really as big as I’d ever want a phone. If I could find something private, and not requiring me learning a whole new set of skills to use, then I’d jump ship in a heartbeat, but there really doesn’t seem to be that much on offer

While the states is busy overtaking Turkmenistan as Worlds Weirdest Dictatorship

The Feynman method

We need emp guns now more than ever, clearly

Hummus is acceptable, if it’s got so much garlic in it that it burns

Oh god, even in space there’s no escape from those bland awful little balls of mundanity. Surely it would be cheaper and less resource intensive for the astronauts to just roll up little balls of cardboard and eat them. The effect would be the same

Just guessing, but to the lay/-idiot, it seems that a model trained in physics and maths as opposed to language might do less hallucinating

Read that as cannibals

Had me in the first half, “European parliament bans lawmakers from…” had me wondering what fresh hell this was heading into, before the “using AI tools” gave me back a shred of hope for the future

Maybe they should try macrodosing

Don’t know, but it’d be fun to try
