  • Pot brownies are popular in the United States, which are baked at 180 degrees Celsius. I think the idea is to protect the components that contain THC, i.e. the crust and sauce.

    For that reason, thin-crust pizzas like New York-style pizza are out. They are too thin and would expose the THC to high temperatures. Neapolitan pizza is also out because there is nothing protecting the cannato sauce from the 400-degree wood-fired oven. That leaves thick-crust pan pizzas.

    Chicago-style pizza is a possibility despite the fact that the sauce is on top of the cheese, because there is so much of it that it becomes soupy. It might be possible to pour ordinary tomato sauce on top of the cannato sauce to protect it. Conversely, Detroit-style pizza does not have very much sauce at all so it’s out.

    I think the best contender is a Pizza Hut-style pan pizza, which has a thick crust and an edge-to-edge layer of cheese on top of it, which I think would do a good job protecting the delicate sauce underneath.




  • Food in the kitchen is usually measured in pounds for meat and vegetables (similar to the UK) and grams for most other dry goods. So the recipe would call for 2 pounds of beef but 5 grams of salt. The Costco hot dogs are guaranteed to weigh at least ¼ pound.

    The most confusing thing is soda, because it is sold in containers of either 350 mL, 16 oz, or 2 L.

    Edit: Photograph of Costco hot dog. They are also sold at the food court for $1.50 each, and it comes with unlimited soda from the Coca-Cola machine in the background. This is probably why Americans are so fat.

  • Woe will be the day when humans can no longer determine whether a video is AI or not, even after careful analysis. I wouldn’t have caught this one either but if given the fact that it is suspected of AI, it isn’t hard to prove it. The timestamp in the top left corner is off. 22-13-43-21 is a nonsensical date and the time jumps from 23:15:07 to 23:15:98 then 23:15:59 then 23:15:54






  • I’m not opposed to Canonical’s monetisation model. I think charging for extra updates and packages is fine as a way to make money. But I can understand why people don’t want advertising in their operating system, though I personally think that a simple line of text showing up on my terminal following a flood of package-fetching and script-running results is tolerable.
