Mentally that is

I didn't sleep last night because I was setting up my desk and desperately trying to finish unpacking which I'm still doing

So extra so

Today

[sage crag]

[fast pagoda]

I am big behind at work cuz holidays and also not having any time to wrap shit up after my ever so interrupting employees go home so I can actually do things without losing my mind and getting interrupted every 2 seconds

So I have to finish NOW or it's so over

you should try making flat cupcakes and then coating in chocolate

they good

cook at lower temp for longer makes flat cupcake

alternatively just cut off top

[sage crag]

like really low temp

even 150c sometimes too high for flat cupcake

not really need any timer for cupcakes

all you do is take skewer and poke it

if it come out clean then they done

[tender river]

me just look at color maybe not as reliable

[sage crag]

colour not reliable because different temp cause different colour

also different ingredients can cause

[rigid snow]

stick in wireless thermometer like they do with meat

Gram-positive bacteria

[fast pagoda]

Uhhh yeah that uhhh clears it up h

[sage crag]

it disease of poultry

search up "staph egg" and try not to vomit

[olive sable]

thats not an egg, thats a patato

[sage crag]

actually i think their name is lash eggs

[amber fractal]

nope I haven't ate yet and I need to

[sage crag]

but its caused by staph

[olive sable]

ewwww

[sage crag]

ye

this why

@tender river always crack eggs separately

eggs dangerous

[fast pagoda]

It's over

I'm eating shrimp

[rigid snow]

[rigid snow]

raw egg

[fast pagoda]

https://tenor.com/view/autism-autistic-spongebob-i'm-autistic-spongebob-meme-gif-990745265488627503

[sage crag]

need to crack eggs one by one

never add directly

and never add to same bowl at once

[tender river]

ye but why separate protect against that

[sage crag]

always individual

[sage crag]

so that if you get 1 bad egg

you dont ruin all egg

when cracking ye?

[rigid snow]

because you WILL know if the egg is bad

trust me

[sage crag]

crack 2 good egg 1 bad egg into bowl

suddenly

3 bad egg

[sage crag]

rotten egg smell fowl brown liquid inside

eww

[olive sable]

minecraft bedrock now has infinite acceleration boat highways apparently.
game broken

[rigid snow]

[tender river]

ye got it me not realize parallel egg cracking is a thing

[tender river]

i dont use eggs like

ever

[sage crag]

eggs dangerous

[rigid snow]

shame

egg good

[sage crag]

if you make meringue and want to eat it raw

make italian meringue

if you are making icing, try for swiss meringue

[olive sable]

i eat food made with eggs, but i dont use eggs myslef. so not my problem

[sage crag]

otherwise, make french meringue and cook it

[rigid snow]

let's not pretend java doesn't have unplanned behaviors turned features

to be clear that's not what the novel is about its just the manga serialises at glacial pace

[olive sable]

ye i know

[tender river]

boooriiiing me done for today 🐸

[sage crag]

stop programming to play circuit design

[tender river]

me brain only have programming zero knowledge other topic

[sage crag]

false! you can make

buttercream

and

[tender river]

true 1 knowledge other topic

2 even

[sage crag]

ohh me teach you about type of meringue

that 3 things

[tender river]

[rigid snow]

discord is an os

[sage crag]

discord is, and that's wrong

[sage crag]

this is on your exam paper

what three kind of meringue and how do they differ in consistency and method of making

[rigid snow]

emacs has competition

[tender river]

swiss french italian differ in consistency and uuh whisk temperature or something

[sage crag]

2/6 marks

[olive sable]

they differ in location

[sage crag]

mentioned all three names, mentioned temperature

cant give more marks

[tender river]

not zero

[sage crag]

not zero

[rigid snow]

discord hire me i'll sell you the idea of discord the metaverse os we'll prototype discord vr app together and we'll all be happy and rich

[olive sable]

i want in on that

me do vr

it will run at 2000fps and nobody will be motionsick and i will win nobel prize for making it

[sage crag]

problem with vr device is screen not perf

[rigid snow]

develop 600hz headset first

ye

[sage crag]

hard make display at that ppi with that resolution

[olive sable]

the tech exists, jsut nobody has made it yet

shame on them

[sage crag]

tech doesnt exist at that ppi

[rigid snow]

apple vision pro:

[sage crag]

ne

doesnt

600hz displays are all lcd

TN even

no oled

sucks for ppi

[rigid snow]

where did i say avp is 600hz

you only mentioned ppi

[sage crag]

not talk about that thingy

[rigid snow]

why not

[olive sable]

S26 ultra is 500ppi, HDR10+ 120hz 2600 nits

[sage crag]

no reason to

[rigid snow]

no need for that bright in headset i think

[quick condor]

Technically 60hz plasmas are 600hz

[sage crag]

technically not helpful

[rigid snow]

let's say 800 nits way more than enough

[olive sable]

i want them to be blinded by the sun like in real life. extra realism

death by sunlight

[sage crag]

apparently vr headset use ppd instead of ppi

pixels per degree

[rigid snow]

ye

[olive sable]

makes sense

FOV

[sage crag]

51 ppd is apparently very high so

apparently that translates to about 4k resolution screen per eye

[tender river]

@native surge begin transmission

you should try openttd maybe

[sage crag]

@native surge

[tender river]

end transmission

[quick condor]

Makes sense sinse lenses screw with ppi

[rigid snow]

what has that

[olive sable]

at 120 degrees FOV, 51*120 = 2520 pixels
so basically with the 2 eyes combined a 5k display

[sage crag]

me googled and it say varjo x4 or something

not remember

[tender river]

make room size headset
99999ppd

[sage crag]

wrr

[rigid snow]

avp is around 40 i think and people say it's extremely high res

[quick condor]

Wdym? You don't want a vr headset to blast your eyes with IR and uv while wearing a high voltage device

[sage crag]

[rigid snow]

uv in vr

[sage crag]

not affect me personally

but

maybe affect someone else

[olive sable]

40 is 4K roughly

[sage crag]

its been too long since

ive had some good cheese

[olive sable]

what phone

[sage crag]

and fruitiness

[tender river]

sharp cheese

🧀 🔪

[sage crag]

mature cheese typically harder and sharper and more fruity

[olive sable]

yes

[sage crag]

mild cheeses have weaker flavour and are usually aged for less time

though not necessarily

can also depend on cheese cultivar and ingredients

[olive sable]

cheese for on bread is ussually not aged that much

cheese for with wine is older

[sage crag]

me only eat mature cheeses unless i have a reason to eat mild cheeses

mild cheeses not worth eating

[sage crag]

well it informal in the UK

but UK is one of the cheese countries

so

[tender river]

oo new standard created in 2025

[olive sable]

lesser cheese country

main ones dutch and france

[sage crag]

we have cheddar gorge

literal place

named after cheese

[tender river]

so there are words used for it professionally (at least now) but not informally

[sage crag]

[rigid snow]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[sage crag]

you really think dutch cheese

france is main cheese place me not disagree

me would say, italian and spanish cheeses more relevant than dutch cheeses

then there me, im cheese of the week

[olive sable]

gouda and edam are dutch

[sage crag]

ever heard of parmesan?

[rigid snow]

speaking of countries with customs of making stuff fuck i love jamon i wish i could eat it all day

[tender river]

[olive sable]

i never said italian not main cheese country

jsut didnt mention them before

[sage crag]

[rigid snow]

[tender river]

not sure about spain though

[rigid snow]

spain

jamon

[olive sable]

spain is lesser cheese country, like uk

[warped narwhal]

the french make a lot of weird cheeses as well

like brie

[sage crag]

UK literally made cheddar

[olive sable]

brie is good

[sage crag]

cheddar

[rigid snow]

I LOVE BRIE

[warped narwhal]

why would you want cheese with thick skin?

[olive sable]

dont care, 1 cheese does not make you main cheese

[warped narwhal]

and the best cheese in the world: Red Leicester

[sage crag]

[sage crag]

[warped narwhal]

Hmm yes, I'd like my cheese with a side of mold please

[rigid snow]

it’s generally good in a salad

[olive sable]

UK only 12th smh

[trim valve]

opinion on mini cheddars?

[sage crag]

if you only care about volume of cheese production then you think american cheese is the best cheese

idiot

[warped narwhal]

plastic cheese

[sage crag]

cheddars tasty but oily cant eat too many

[tender river]

dont they have cheese powder

[sage crag]

also just eating 1 cheddar taste like plastic kinda

[warped narwhal]

mature cheddar

[sage crag]

nah talking about

this

[trim valve]

oh yeah

preference between original and red leicster

[sage crag]

original

undoubtedly

[trim valve]

😔

[tender river]

is that pure cheese or cheese cracker

[sage crag]

biscuits

[warped narwhal]

[trim valve]

coin sized

[warped narwhal]

about the size of a £2 coin

[olive sable]

france, italy, switzerland, and netherlands are main cheese culturally, spain, uk, greece, usa, and some others are lesser cheese country

[sage crag]

brie british cheese

[warped narwhal]

?

[sage crag]

[sage crag]

me re-exporting

all

french cheese now british cheese

[olive sable]

no

also, usa doesnt only produce plastic cheese

hurtfull stereotype

[sage crag]

correct, they produce a tonne of cheddar

and then turn it into plastic

because they produce too much

[warped narwhal]

[sage crag]

[warped narwhal]

just like everything become crab in world.

everything become plastic in america

[sage crag]

it not even plastic

it just look artificial and unappealing

even their regular cheddar blocks are dyed orange

[olive sable]

dye

[sage crag]

part of the colour is natural but most of it is dye ye

[olive sable]

as long as it tastes good

[rigid snow]

american cheese is a good ingredient, just not a good cheese

[sage crag]

ye

[olive sable]

there are probably farmers that make decent cheese, jsut need to find where

[sage crag]

of course

its a huge country

"no good things in america" <-

[rigid snow]

road trip?

[olive sable]

i mean

[sage crag]

https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/アナトー

[rigid snow]

ok

[sage crag]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annatto

[olive sable]

im going to the usa probably for opensauce 2026, but idk if im willing to do a 15 hour roadtrip for some cheese

[sage crag]

it natural dye i just find it unappealing

apparently E160b in EU

To fool the consumer, the cheesemakers introduced colorants to imitate the more intense colors of the finer summer cheese. Initially these colors came from saffron, marigold, and carrot juice, but later annatto came into use.

[olive sable]

we drink fristi with dye made from lice. there could be worse things

[sage crag]

In the 17th century, the Dutch, who had established colonies in Guyana, traded in food, particularly an orange-red natural colorant, annatto, with the indigenous communities. Zeeland traders under the authority of the West India Company bought annatto from the inhabitants of the coastal regions of Guyana and Suriname and sold it in the Netherlands as verw ('paint'). One contemporaneous description comes from Adriaen van Berkel, in a book published in 1695, though he does not mention whether it was used in cheese.

blame sam for american cheese colour

[trim valve]

tthey should

dye cheese pink

[sage crag]

dye it blue

[rigid snow]

i'm almost definitely not getting a visa to anywhere in the west so you're on your own

[trim valve]

like big bubble gum

[olive sable]

you need a visa to go to the west?

weird country

[sage crag]

England is another country that has used annatto to color its cheeses; colorants have been added to Gloucester cheese as early as the 16th century to allow inferior cheese to masquerade as the best Double Gloucester

not me fault

[rigid snow]

you good

[olive sable]

im not dutch, im belgian

[sage crag]

same deal

[olive sable]

nuh-uh

actually in 17th centure belgium didnt exist so its uncertain if we were involved

some part of australia use southern hemisphere dst

egypt does dst, interesting

[patent shard]

there is 720hz oled, but only at 720p
which kind of defeats the point for most purposes...
540hz 1440p, though, it's close to 600

[rigid snow]

ye say you hate it all you want but sunset at 5pm is kinda insane

[sage crag]

sometimes its hard to realise that UK is on same altitude as parts of canada

[olive sable]

jsut put 2 of them togheter dum

[sage crag]

[tender river]

sunrise late too me not care

[sage crag]

last one, must be within the last 5 months or so

[olive sable]

probably ye

[sage crag]

480hz 1440p existed since long time ago

[olive sable]

problem is the ppi

[sage crag]

540hz not really meaningful upgrade

[trim valve]

altitude mhm

[tender river]

me closer to south than northernmost part of uk

[olive sable]

12.5% increase

kinda low

[sage crag]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_points_of_the_British_Isles

interesting

Out Stack is little more than a rocky outcrop, and is uninhabited. It has been described as "the full stop at the end of Britain".[1] Travellers would not encounter any further land masses between Out Stack and the North Pole if heading directly north.

[tender river]

that very far me not even notice

[olive sable]

also why we aiming for 600hz?

[rigid snow]

arbitrary high number i came up with

[sage crag]

ask mlntcandy

apparently this is the southernmost point of the british isles

unsurprising since parts of france were once UK territory i guess

[olive sable]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-look-gary-there-i-am-that's-me-i'm-on-tv-on-tv-gif-5838881544199682423

im on the map

crazy

[sage crag]

why is birmingham still on the map

either way that's the northernmost point

pretty far

[tender river]

more important than london

[olive sable]

londong has a big slide tho. thats all that matter

[sage crag]

i have met no-one who likes that slide

stupid thing

[rigid snow]

also ppi has to be crazy, micro-oled then?

...Apple partnered with Sony (or maybe TSMC) to create these micro-OLED displays and they are approximately 1 inch in size. To calculate the size of each pixel I'm going to use 32-inch 4K TVs as a comparison, and these boast about 138 pixels per inch. We don't know the aspect ratio of the chips in the Vision Pro, but if they're a square 3,400x3,400-pixel resolution that would be a total of 11,560,000 pixels, so that's a safe bet. So, if that's the case, these displays have a ppi of around 4,808(!) and that's more than almost anything else on the market, and that's by a lot.

[sage crag]

"The Slide"

[olive sable]

ive been on this. eventho its an eyesore it was fun

[sage crag]

colloquially known as the helter skelter

it's, uh.... $1100... for a 1440p display... lol

[sage crag]

london skyline is sometimes interesting

sometimes boring

the shard is more interesting than most buildings at least

then there's that

walkie talkie

its like the mayor of london's office or something

it was melting the road and cars

[trim valve]

london tall

[sage crag]

i went to london august 2019. damn thats 6 years ago

[rigid snow]

i went to london in fucking 2014

that's 11

[sage crag]

i also went to london in 2014

i also went to it every year after that so far

[stark needle]

the curse of london

[sage crag]

well, i live in london

london is a lot bigger than the city sprawl

"greater london" it calledf

"City of London" at the centre is not the full city btw its just the square mile

at the centre

where the original london was

[olive sable]

our hotel was next to a pizzaria

[sage crag]

there are a lot of both of those in london

[olive sable]

"hotel" it was a pretty bad small cheap building

[sage crag]

cheap

[olive sable]

it was 4m^2

[tender river]

i walked over thames on a car bridge not knowing it was just a car bridge wasnt very fun

[sage crag]

bad ✅
small ✅
cheap ❌

[sage crag]

these days if you come to london you try using the skippers instead

[tender river]

it had a place to walk just not very pleasant when you have to inhale car fumes

[sage crag]

sorry, the clippers

[olive sable]

i did the same thing once with an e-scooter

[sage crag]

not the skippers

[sage crag]

theyre public transport

so you can get it on TFL

they funky boat things

[tender river]

me still have valid oyster card they last so long

[trim valve]

uber boat

[sage crag]

they have a bar in them

[trim valve]

there's also a cablecar

[sage crag]

and also the thames tours

in the cruise boats

[sage crag]

🔍

[tender river]

[sage crag]

oyster card is valid where i live as well (go figure, tfl)

i dont have one though

ohh fun fact about tfl

they arent part of the british government

sorry

london government

and they arent even a british company

[tender river]

[olive sable]

[sage crag]

wait i think im thinking of a different transport company

[olive sable]

ye i think so

i googled it and supposedly tfl is It is controlled by the Mayor of London

[tender river]

london made me walk everywhere because of how expensive public transport is taxi even more expensive

[sage crag]

i cant find it

whatever

[sage crag]

london mostly walkable though

at least in the rich areas and suburbs

[olive sable]

i feel like taxis are expensive everywhere

[sage crag]

trains arent too expensive but taxis are daylight robbery

[tender river]

yee thames bridge me only bad experience probably not remember

[sage crag]

in london its best to take a train if you need to go a long way

and walk otherwise

[tender river]

yee me do that

[trim valve]

my only opinion on london from my visit

[sage crag]

well, bicycle

[trim valve]

is that there's nowhere to sit

[sage crag]

ebike

[trim valve]

when its wet

[olive sable]

everywhere i went with my family, from poor eastern european countries to rich western countries, taxis have been 40-60 bucks

[sage crag]

[tender river]

[sage crag]

article

[olive sable]

[tender river]

[sage crag]

ye tropical lilypad

[tender river]

[sage crag]

bred say no but it really is a plant

[sage crag]

most images dont actually show the scale of the gardens

[sage crag]

that the "Temperate House" on the map

[faint sandal]

kew

[sage crag]

ye kew

it it name

i think kew is uuh

richmond area

[tender river]

how much km^2?

[sage crag]

near central london

[tender river]

me want compare

[sage crag]

Area 121 hectares (300 acres)

1.21 km^2

apparently

[tender river]

comparison made

[sage crag]

In July 2003, UNESCO put the gardens on its list of World Heritage Sites.

[olive sable]

[sage crag]

kew gardens does have global significance though

they have a seedbank

[olive sable]

oooh

[sage crag]

kew gardens also has a counterpart

called wakehurst

where you can actually go visit the seedbank

[olive sable]

uh

[sage crag]

:ALERT: koniifers

[olive sable]

googling seedbank gives drugs

[sage crag]

map of wakehurst

there are actually houses in here so some people live in this place

i wonder if they are the gardeners

[olive sable]

either that, or they're just extra rich

[sage crag]

The garden today covers some 2 km^2 (490 acres)

[tender river]

[sage crag]

wakehurst is quite a bit bigger than kew

but also its not as cultivated so its unsurprising

[sage crag]

the bluebells at wakehurst in the early spring are quite nice

if you can visit them its very pretty

[sage crag]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennium_Seed_Bank_Partnership

[sage crag]

rhs usually cheaper than kew

i hav left the UK one time

i went to valencia

saw the science museum

got a heat rash

[olive sable]

[sage crag]

like small dots on my skin it was awful

because im not physically sensitive to temperature i didnt notice it was 40c outside

me genius

i dont remember too much about the science museum

probably because of the heat rash

but i do remember there were lots of pretty murals dotted around the city streets

and that the streets smelled mostly like garbage

[tender river]

thing me not like about ho chi minh city trash and bikes everywhere smell awful

[sage crag]

london goes between smelling fowl and smelling only vaguely like car exhausts
