No one cares if their quarter pounder is fresh.

I wish McDonalds would just stop trying. Their big complicated menu is a mess. The other day I went in and ordered 2 McDoubles from the kiosk and it took 7 minutes for my order to be called. 7 minutes! Seriously? Just bring back the heat lamps already. Heat lamps were great. During a rush the cooks could make a dozen identical burgers at a time, shove them into the warm red glow, and when you'd have your order in like 2 minutes, tops.

Heatlamps were old like 25 years ago. When I did my time as teenage fast food labor, McDonalds had just finished perfecting the made to order (but not really) system. Everything was assembled assembly line style. To keep the meat on the assembly line after it was cooked, there was like a meat cupboard with a bunch of drawers that slid out of a warming oven and each drawer had a different sort of meat. So like a quarter pounder drawer, a Big Mac patty drawer, drawers of nuggets. Instead of a heatlamp, the tray where food was kept after it was made had a forced air heater that kept the tray hot as gently caress, like you could cook underdone poo poo in that thing.

Google image searching McDonald's meat cupboard unfortunately doesn't give any pictures of the ingenious device.

His rap sheet is illuminating

I get the impression that even though lobotomies were 100% bullshit, they were shilled hard and doctors assumed that other doctors had peer reviewed it so it turned into a landmark "never again must we allow this" ethics tragedy. But its really very simple when you know which part of the brain contains the little mustachioed rear end in a top hat:

I used to want to edit it and change those to forums but

Lobotomies worked in that it could take an individual with manic episodes from needing round the clock observation or restraint to a passive childlike demeanor who could be cared for at home instead of being long term committed. The ethics get hairy across the board because the model patient isn't likely to consent, and the processes for others to consent instead aren't the greatest facsimile of personal consent for an invasive non reversible treatment. See also it was a majority of women being treated.

It was a no brainer to drop the brain damage therapies when antipsychotics and other medicines came around because you could still medicate someone to the point they're like a passive child, but it's reversible if something better comes along or if consent is reconsidered.

how long will it be until the dystopian future of Markov-chain derived network TV

and honestly will it even be worse?

That Scrubs script is the missing link which demonstrates even if it's not the rigid algorithmic form of a Markov chain, there's a statistical combination method by the time you are making the 3rd+ season of anything. I assume partly learned internally and partly physically pulling names, actions, and results from a hat and writing to the result.

It's predictive text so it was never a robot writing the scripts. It's basically Choose Your Own Adventure but for writing a story instead of reading it.

I wrote a "zedprime" post by inputting all the posts you've made in this thread and then seeing what popped up after each word branched out into new options for more words.

Edit: Here's the link to it. Zedprime.txt

It's indistinguishable from my normal posts.

But I realize it's the most editable of the robot mediums and that's why I also chalked it up as maybe fatigue of the medium. But the early ones seemed much more dream like and less like a writing workshop about a Frasier episode about an iron.

I believe it was less about that and more "The only grain you are allowed to use is barley because we don't want wheat or rye to be diverted from bakers so the price of bread doesn't go up."

Closer and the ostensible reason it went on the books. But north Germany never really had a wheat problem like the south so it's also recognized as a trade protection demanded by Bavaria because they realized their wheatless piss beer had no chance to compete with the beers of the north unless it was tariffed or banned.

For most food advertising it activated charcoal is just fancy science words for food safe carbon pigment. Also it happens to have connotations with "it's medicine" so they randomly dye health food with it because collectively we have the medical foresight of a kid drinking a bottle of cough syrup to get better faster.

E. The "activated" part of it means it has a high surface area for absorption of stuff in your aquarium or gut etc. By the time you cook with it it'll be less than activated because it is now covered in cheese for example.

Sometimes migrant workers get tired of being migrants and settle down and open a ridiculously good texmex or asian food restaurant in bumfuck, population 5k.

You can often eat better in Bumfuck, Midwest than the large midwestern cities because of this.

It is funny, I'll admit, but it's like those people who post about how their kid said something really poignant about the meaning of life while they were in the checkout line. Just say you wrote a funny olive garden thing and stand by your work.<>

Its funniest in relief of the actual neural net based jokes because you can say anything on the internet and explain it was really something else saying it. There was also a while there people were making jokes about their kids saying really profound things. I'd also relate it to quote misattribution jokes too.

I'm loving dying that a neural net "expert" did a "well actually (1/12)"

Wait there are drug tests in Colorado?

Occupational drug testing has nothing to do with public legality and everything to do with private insurance risk management.

Step 1 is legalizing it but everybody forgets there is a step 2 of change occupational testing to spit tests because the metabolite pee/blood tests over report on the actual measure the insurance companies care about ie. can someone show up to a time and a place sober or were they using in the lead up to an accident.

I wonder if there is a really furious x-mas song, like an angry rap about gifting coals or a black metal about Rudolph's dark origins

Trans Siberian Orchestra's Christmas Eve is originally from a concept album about the Bosnian War by Savatage. It's just an arrangement of God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman but in the liner notes it explains it's based on the story of a dude who played cello in the Sarajevo city center despite the war. On Christmas Eve he was playing Christmas carols, until something exploded and then he wasn't. In the morning people found that he got hit by a mortar. Maybe apocryphal but very metal.

Free jazz sounds like someone reinvented atonal music with jazz instruments instead of an orchestra/piano. I wonder if it has caused any angry riots when preformed too

Free jazz is usually fairly measured atonal and polyrhythmic music.

I mean some of it's just chaotic jam banding but I try to be careful about genre signalling. Like for a lot of jazz obsessed folks it's hard bop if they like it and free jazz if they don't but it's usually a small stones throw away with a slightly different polyrhythm or tonal scale between the two.

Major historical shifts are never (save for maybe a massive asteroid of mega volcano or whatever) caused by one single thing and some nebulous and extremely I'll defined "sea people invaded everywhere at once and stopped civilization in its tracks" is a piss poor explanation for such a major and cataclysmic event.

It was never a strong theory and there still isn't a universally accepted meta explanation. I strongly recommend the book 1177, which basically says, nah, we don't understand this well and the declines we saw are probably a perfect storm of poo poo happening in concert across the region.

Hrmmm yes but if you look at the chart closer the sun causing low T is what caused the bronze age collapse and the sea people's were just some Chad's taking advantage.

Religion: Where everything's made up and the rules don't matter.

" Oh hey, rules say we cant have meat during this time.'

Oh poo poo, well, I'll just say these animals here are fish, and then we can ignore the first rule for the most part."

This is one of those things that sounds weirder than what the literal reading is. Fasting at the time this became a practice was determined by the what I'm struggling to find words for but lets call disposition of the food. Classically called hot and cold, but more like interesting and boring. A good fast is of boring food. Fish are boring, but it sets the precedent water animals are boring so if a priest wanted to call these capybaras, beavers, and muskrats boring that's their prerogative as a bridge to God.

Similarly giving up Facebook seems like a far cry from walking through the desert, but fasting is personal and if you think not being able to post your favorite memes for a couple months gets you closer to Jesus, you do you.
