Troy and Abed in the Morning!

Dyson’s are overpriced pieces of shit. They are about gimmicks and often perform worse than other brands. What they lack in performance they make up in their advertising budget.

I personally have a Shark vacuum that I got on sale at Costco. It was $200 cheaper than the Dyson and much lighter.

Chicken thigh with Roasted Vegetables

• Pan fry chicken thigh, making sure the thickest part reaches 165° F
• Season to taste (I recommend a pinch of kosher salt and a good helping of black pepper but that’s just me. You can also go savory with rosemary sprig for the last 5 minutes of cooking)
• While chicken is cooking, put chosen vegetables in a bowl, lightly cover with olive oil. Sprinkle salt
• bake in oven at 400°F for 45 minutes

If you’re feeling adventurous:

• sear both sides of chicken in a Dutch oven (or cast iron)
• while waiting, season vegetables as instructed above
• once both sides of the chicken are sufficiently browned, add vegetables to the Dutch oven
• Cover and stick it in the oven at 375°F for 30-45 minutes depending on how done you want your vegetables

If you use the latter method, be sure to cook the chicken all the way through. Vegetables will be soaked in chicken fat.

I’ve been on a low fodmap diet for a while. This is a really broad question without some parameters but I’ll give it a go.

It also depends on what the goal of the low fodmap is (e.g. weight loss, diabetic control, etc.)

That said:

• a quick and easy way is to assume all processed carbs are out. This isn’t 100% true across the board but helps you draw a line somewhere. Processed carbs being things like bread, candy bars, pasta, etc.
• nuts like walnuts and peanuts are great snacks
• eggs for breakfast or if you want something more filling you can do oatmeal with some oatmilk. Not regular milk
• for meals, do whole foods like a chicken thigh with some peppers or a lean steak with spinach
• since you love potatoes, a great trick is to make a ton of roasted cut potatoes and put them in a container. Add them to dishes as you see fit. Even though I don’t do low FODMAP, I still do this

I’m just waiting for Musk to sue all people on earth for either not having an account or for abandoning their account on Twitter.

I don’t think I explained it well.

I shop at 4, maybe 5, different grocery stores. Some products I have preferences whereas others I don’t.

For example, say this is my grocery list for the week:

• grapes (never buy at Walmart)
• composition notebook
• ground turkey (only buy at Wegmans, unless there’s a sale)
• oat milk
• chocolate chips
• eggs

I want an AI to scrape every grocery store’s weekly ad or their website along with any coupons that are available, and determine the best price and, based on patterns of sales, what I should wait on and what time of day I should shop.

There was a Twitter post about great uses for AI but it’s not being developed. The one I aligned with was scraping grocery store ads and creating a shopping list based on the best prices and personal preferences.

AI is solving problems for the business class. They are trying to stop paying people. AI has use cases to actually make our lives better but are antithetical to the capitalistic companies and would likely try to stop any AI use that undermines their bottom line.

Is the Cybertruck even a truck? I don’t see the “truck” part.

I know very little about cars, and even less about trucks. When I think of a truck, I think of a bed in the back where you can haul stuff from Home Depot.

Where is the “truck” part?

I absolutely cannot stand this kind of logic.

“We make a shit ton of money on this very critical piece of software!”

“Then let me fix it!”

“NO! It’s making us money NOW! It only stops making us money when it’s broken. At which point then we fix it.”

“But that might be hours. We can minimize downtime if we plan properly.”

"But it’s making us money NOW!1!1!”

I shit you not I have had various versions of this conversation throughout my career, across industries, across disciplines.
