That’s gonna be a no from me, dawg.

Tim Sweeney has a shitty take? Must be a day ending in Y!

Seriously.

Why does this look AI generated?

I think it’s also fair to say this can be considered research into his take on LLMs.

Pilot (from Farscape) is one of the coolest aliens I’ve come across.

I have two cats. When I let them outside, both come when they’re called. One play fetch. The other one keeps me on schedule.

I consider getting my cats to do this stuff that every dog owner simply expects of their dog to be one of my greatest achievements in life. Doubly so since the one who plays fetch is a former feral.

Sounds like a bad kettle.

Not today, Satan!

I take it you don’t make pasta often?

It’s definitely a luxury if you’re doing it on its own. If you’re remodeling a kitchen or building a new house, it’s more like a rounding error.

I have been angry that they aren’t available in the US since I found out about them. My integrated hot water tap only gets to like 85°C

It’s common in South Africa too.

The first one I’ve seen that actually provides the water at a high enough temperature to make tea immediately from the tap is the quooker. I have a different one (quooker isn’t available in the US 😢), but it maxes out at about 85°C, so for black tea (which is what I tend to drink) I still have to put it in the kettle to get the rest of the way. For most people in countries with 240V electricity, the difference compared to just using the kettle isn’t really worth it.

Plenty of non-tea-drinking countries have kettles pretty much ubiquitously. It’s mostly just North America that doesn’t have them because the advantage over a stovetop kettle is greatly reduced due to only getting 1500W (rather than 3000W) out of the plugs.

Of course… I solved that for myself by putting a NEMA 6-20R in my kitchen and importing a 3 kW kettle.

Half of those are like 800W and take forever to heat. The other half are at least 1500W so they only take three-ever, but that’s still way too long for me when I’m grumpy in the morning.

Anyway, long story short I have a 3000W kettle attached to a NEMA 6-20R in my kitchen.

2 minutes on the induction stove? So like… Still slightly slower than the kettle?

Like that, but my computer does it for me automatically.

I use a light theme during the day and a dark theme at night.
