This is what controlled chaos looks like. This year’s election-year referendum on which corporate puppet should occupy the White House has quickly become a lesson in how the Deep State engineers a crisis to keep itself in power.

“ChatGPT’s ability to produce functional code for “easy” coding problems dropped from 89 percent to 52 percent after 2021. And its ability to generate functional code for “hard” problems dropped from 40 percent to 0.66 percent after this time as well.”
“A reasonable hypothesis for why ChatGPT can do better with algorithm problems before 2021 is that these problems are frequently seen in the training dataset,” Tang says.”

Well, it's official: the geriatric husk of a man occupying the Oval Office is in fact not the "leader of the free world." A search for his replacement is already underway but we already know who runs the country.

One Step is a Step Too Far
A Single Step: The WEAPON They Use to Destroy Liberty

The Founders warned us over and over - a single step beyond the limits of the Constitution is a step too far. George Washington even referred to such usurpation as the "customary weapon" by which freedom is destroyed.

The pandemic response kicked off the most incredible federal government spending binge since World War II. No one likes to talk about this either, though in the annals of fiscal policy, it goes down in history.

An overnight ferment in the icebox can add more flavor, but you have to wait for it to come back to room temp before working it. Also remember to seal it air tight, but with a valve or loose seal so it can vent as it will build up a lot of gas. :3

>When you promote the Unlicense you should be aware that it's reception in legal circles is not great.

Legal circles can go and fuck themselves.

Also, about 70% of Linux Foundation sponsors break GPL and nobody gives a damn, because they pay money. The last time someone attempted to enforce GPL in court[1], it took almost two decades and several hundred thousand Euro in legal costs. All this licence stuff is delusional wishful thinking at best, a cargo cult at worst.

This is why WTFPL is the best licence. At the very least, it is fun.

There's a lot that goes into making pizza. Congrats on your first step. Fermentation time and temp are something to experiment with after you get your ratios down. Also make sure you can pass the window test after kneading.

Attempt #1 at creating a restaurant quality pizza at home:

So with my new pizza stone, I decided to first try to make a New York-style pizza with it, according to this video:

youchu.be/watch?v=OuwSQWwjDp0

It didn't turn out the way I expected, but it was much better than most homemade pizzas I've tried. The dough was just like ordinary, homemade pizza dough however because a family member insisted that they made the dough (they probably took pride in their own pizza and hated that I was trying to make something more "professional"). The dough I used didn't have high-gluten bread flour and instead used regular flour only. I also underestimated how much the dough was going to rise.

I think what truly changed the game was the cheese. Everyone assumes that since pizza is Italian, you are supposed to use Italian cheese, but it's actually a mix between Mozzarella, Parmesan, and Romano that you should use. You should also sprinkle a little bit of oregano on it. I think I overdid the oregano.

Best pizza I could compare it to is Sbarro's pizza because they also overuse oregano (at least from my experience). Sauce and cheese were fine, but the dough still gave it the "homemade" vibe. I expected the stone to make it crispy, but I guess it really needed that bread flour.

Maybe I should try a New Jersey-style bar pizza next time.
