roomforthetuna: I don't need to know anything about virii! My CUSTOM PROGRAM keeps me protected! It's not like they'll try to come in through the Internet or something!

Am I a lurker if I sometimes post something in other BYOB threads because I see the title of the thread in the sidebar and find it appealing for whatever reason?
I think the answer now doesn't matter either way, since I have fulfilled the "lurkers must post" obligation if I am a lurker, and there was no prohibition against my posting if I am not a lurker.
Also I like to say lurker.

Welcome occasional lurker! Do you have any favorite pets or felonies?

Is saying lurker a felony somewhere?
I quite like traitoring as a felony, I think there should probably be more of that, since governments are often doing the wrong thing.
I'm not much for pets, but I do like birds or hedgehogs to visit and share some snacks.

I also married a 98% match. She had something about wanting to live on an island in her profile, my opening message was "how do you envision living on an island?" (Because the unrealistic "being brought mai-tais" vision of living on an island is very different from the plausible "solar panels and having to fix your own plumbing" vision.)

I don't mistrust non-stick pans per-se, they're just not as good as crude iron tools.
Assistants seem like the same sort of non-advance, where the progress is slightly worse than sideways from the old way of doing things.
Dishwashers are cool though.
I look forward to the first assistant that has a mobile platform and an arm, so you can have it actually assist with things.
Or the first one someone programs to do your taxes, which seems like it should be an obvious thing for google assistant to do, their stuff can already get in my email and read things, why isn't it reading my tax documents and putting them somewhere appropriate for me?

I think the problem with that is that it takes so much time and people don't really have a lot of time to do things these days.

I cook quite a lot. Most things take less time to cook than it would take to drive to a place, place an order, wait for them to bring me food and then drive home. And that's considering the whole cook time - if you only count the actual human-doing-stuff time where you have to be awake and paying attention then you have to be going nuts with something super fancy for it to take longer than even just getting taco bell, unless you live right next door to a taco bell.

Edit: delivery rules though. Nobody delivers to my neighborhood other than using some sort of third-party poo poo.

Today I fried baby corn in a chickpea flour batter, which made me think if I fried it in a corn batter like corndogs then it would be corncorn.
I told my wife this and she said it wouldn't be able to hear my jokes though.

She said "no because it has tiny ears."

Does anyone else dislike going out so much that they'll go two weeks eating gradually less and less reasonable or convenient or fresh food based on what seems like it might be a tolerable combination of the (dry/canned/frozen/long shelf life) food that is still in the house?

Today I had tofurky sausages and muffins for dinner.

Tomorrow I might have to make savory buckwheat pancakes stuffed with kale and artichoke hearts and I guess some sort of sauce made of just spices.

I really like birbs too and wish that cats were kept almost exclusively as indoor cats. best for all concerned, and darwinism will ensure that the smart mouses and such steer clear of the patrolled areas.

I like to think that birds that get caught by cats are just tired of life and want to end it all. I mean birds have huge peripheral vision and can fly, and can sit on high up things like wires or very thin branches that cats can't walk on, it seems like they could easily avoid cats if they really wanted to.

Today I am quite impressed with the results of this "modify your picture to look other-gender" thing (unfortunately requires a Facebook login and a face-front picture to try it). I was expecting the usual lovely sort of thing where it either doesn't look like the original picture, or just looks like the original picture with makeup on, but it did a great job on my picture of looking female while still being totally recognizable as based on the same picture - same expression, same hair-style but longer, same eyebrows, same face-lines, same shadows, but I wouldn't question it was a picture of a woman if I saw it with no context.

I also tried having it change a picture of my wife to female to see what sort of nonsense it would overdo, and it pretty much did nothing at all to her picture (just the standard vaseline-lens filter and a change of scale), which I think is a sign of it being unusually good at the task. I haven't tried out its female-to-male algorithm yet though.

Today our dishwasher finally gave up the ghost, after months of having to be Fonzed to get it to start a cycle. We considered getting it fixed, but a repair person charges like $200 to show up, and then parts, and a new dishwasher with warranty and junk costs $300, so we're part of disposable culture now. Buying a dishwasher sucks too though.

This has been the story of a ruined weekend day.

(Edit: also tried opening it up ourselves for fixing, but all the switches we could find were activating properly, so meh.)

So I watched the first two episodes of Altered Carbon. It's kind of like a live action serious Futurama, only not as good as that sounds. I dunno if it deserves a thread.

I'm four episodes in, I think. It got a bit less slow-and-dragging after the first couple. After four episodes I watched the new Blade Runner, because it seemed like they'd be similar and I wanted to be able to say which was better. In my opinion it is Altered Carbon that is better.

Also my new dishwasher is better than the old one, so at least all that effort wasn't just to stay in place.

I like comparing things.

Today and last night I have mostly been doing a puzzle-hunt, like the MIT puzzle hunt kind of thing. The puzzles are hard, but I'm mostly amazed by the idea of making these puzzles. How the gently caress does someone make a 6x14 grid out of fourteen six letter words, in which also you can make 7 chains of other words (3 words, each of 4 or more letters, per chain) on the other axis / diagonally such that all but 8 letters are used by the words on the other axis, and then also the single letters positionally preceding the start of each of those chains can be combined to make another word. How did they do that? It's not like it's something where you can iterate gradually closer, like you have the word BUNSEN but you need something else where the B is so you're like oh I'll just change that to GUNSEN then. Is the puzzle creator some sort of alien mastermind?
