pro tip from the ONT
444 Those standing rib roasts are on sale from time to time. I just don't know how to cook them. Wrap it in cheesecloth and let it sit in the fridge for 7 days. Remove from fridge, peel off the cheesecloth, and hit it with a heavy dry brine (salt). Let it sit to come up to room temp for at least an hour. Insert your probe thermometer into the heart of the roast. Sprinkle with any other spices you like (I just added pepper), and put it in a cold oven, setting the temp to 250. When the probe temp reaches 118, pull the roast, wrap it in foil, and let it rest for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, crank the oven to 550. Remove the foil, put the roast back in the oven for a 10-15 minute sear. Slice away the bones, then just carve it into thick, juicy "prime" rib steaks. Enjoy.

There's a 10 to 20% chance AI will wipe out humanity over the next 30 years, says Geoffrey Hinton.
I thought humanity was wiped out by climate change, Trumps tax cuts, and the repeal of net neutrality. Everybody is dead, AI is too late on its genocide ambitions. Posted by: Puddleglum at work at December 28, 2024 04:24 AM (+YRf1) 8
Correct. One degree warmer will depopulate the earth. It's science.

Posted by: olddog in mo Thanks for that knowledge. I remember when Zicam made a spray, with a warning on it not to squirt it in you nose and snorfle it back like other nasal sprays. People didn't read that, and proceeded to use it incorrectly. Product was taken off the market due to complaints. But, if used correctly, it worked very well.

Posted by: Dr. Bone Hmmm... sounds like what I've had the past 3 weeks. Mostly post nasal drip, giving me a cough. A few times with the aches I get from having a fever, without the fever. Yesterday it kinda all came at once, along with dizziness and nausea. That went away, and I finally got a good nights sleep. Psuedo-Kovid? Posted by: Bruce at December 28, 2024 05:51 AM (wCyuB) 38

Evening and morning to all you late toilers (Saturday toilers, then) and early risers! 'Tis Saturn's Day, which this week seems to me much like yesterday and Thursday.
Enough sleep last night. I've fed the beasts and am trying to decide whether to have a pipe before breakfast. I got the Buick's oil and filter changed yesterday, so that's done for six months. On the way home I spied a gas station with 90-octane ethanol-free gas for only $2.99, .50 less than I've been paying at my nearby Exxon, so I topped off. I'l need to visit that place when I'm out that way. So whatz been happenin'? Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at December 28, 2024 06:17 AM (omVj0) 48

Posted by: Skip at December 28, 2024 *** If your car's engine can take advantage of it -- if, say, your manual says premium is "recommended." My Buick's book says nothing like that, only that 87 octane is required. I tried premium 93 early in the car's tenure, and saw no real improvement over 87 during my regular week's commute.

With any luck I've had my cold for the next couple of years. It was mild compared to the Coof in late 2019 and whatever similar thing I had in the summer of '22.

Probably not. Even E0, when you can find it here, is at least 20% higher in cost per gallon than E10, and the mileage increase for me is only about 10%.

I always hoped to find some 93 E0 for the BMW 3 Series, fill up on that, and drive the car on a long highway run. Never could find higher than 90 E0 -- the car required at least 91 -- and I didn't have the car long enough anyway before it got totaled in a rainstorm flood.

52 I have a stupid tech question. Sometimes when Joe Mannix posts the bosomy babes someone will comment, "That girl has six fingers" or "She's missing an arm." Why does that happen with AI?
Posted by: FenelonSpoke at December 28, 2024 06:34 AM (EjZAZ) — — From what I understand it has to do with the way the AI is trained. For image generators the AI is fed a lot of images from around the web, etc. A lot of times in photos of people the hands and feet are not always shown or shown incompletely, for instance when a female model might have her hands on her hips the number of fingers might not be visible. Generative AI has no idea what a hand is. It’s just trying to copy what it has been trained on so sometimes the AI might add an extra finger or toe because it doesn’t know we only have five digits, it just knows a hand-like appendage goes on the end of arms. The newer AI image generator models were trained more thoroughly and don’t have this problem now. Posted by: SpeakingOf at December 28, 2024 07:51 AM (6ydKt) 132
