    100%. You can pretty much cook anything in a microwave, so long as you understand -how- it cooks, and how to use that to your advantage. Like, some of the best eggs I’ve made were from a microwave. Like non-microwave cooking, the general rule is “slow and low” and you’ll get decent results. But yea, it wont sear your steak, nor would I cook a steak in a microwave, as it would taste better, be less messy, and be faster to use an oven broiler xD.




  • history has shown that with communism it’s generally sooner

    I do wonder though, have there been -any- actual communist societies that were communist from the start and not communist in name only (e.g., Russia, China, Vietnam, Cuba, etc.)? I would almost say that none (or at least none I recall) survive the transference between the prior society and communism before they become corrupted by power seeking individuals/groups. 🤔

    Noah Caldwell-Gervais - Long form (multi-hour) video essays on video games. Usually based on a series like Fallout, Gears of War, or Dark Souls. It is engrossing.

    Forgotten Weapons - Ever wanted to learn about all the weird and interesting firearms people have devised over the years? This is the channel for you. This guy just loves going over not only how they work internally, what makes some of these devices interesting and how they came to be and why they failed (or succeeded).

    Coding Secrets - Ever wanted to learn how game developers made certain games “back in the day” and accomplished some amazing tricks for their time?

    Freya Holmér - video game math taught in a friendly way

    Grand Illusions - Elderly toy collector shares collection with world :)



  • I still don’t understand why I cannot connect any of my Bluetooth headphones to -any- of the consoles. Connecting to my TV induces latency, so it turns off game mode, but not if I connect directly to the gaming device (ala steam deck). It’s not like its a standards, driver, or perf issue, as steam deck supports it, and it’s essentially a very user friendly Arch Linux box. Something as important as audio being this far behind on the two major competitors is mind boggling, especially when one of them ALSO produces decent audio hardware and created one of the two main Bluetooth audio standards 😅

    sigh emacs-er here, yes you can do anything you want in emacs, but the defaults can be confusing for newbies and CUA CUI users (vscode, jetbrains, etc). That said, like vim users, I feel handicapped when using something like vscode. Once you move towards vim or better yet meow/kakoune editing modes, you will never want to use anything else, because everything else is soooo slow when navigating, inspecting, and editing code/text. With tree-sitter and lsp support now built-in, there really isn’t anything vscode offers over emacs anymore 😅

    edit: sorry, meant CUA (Common User Access)
