Actually they do...money. power. Control. <br/>Plus, ya know maybe the occasional nice thing like drug discovery, science, automation, etc. 2026-08-07T01:12:45+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs0688gqj734hp4xz694el849ms9acks0r0mhraegy99v3vl3cfhcqzyrh6l95hw79v8ealdkn35dajjjfazslsq9u7jy9dm568fekx6fxqq6dcq36 It&#39;s going to be interesting when the inevitable lawsuits and discovery happens with these ai deployments and so much of the underlying &#34;logic&#34; will be revealed to just be increasingly desperate pleads inside the prompts for it to do the intended thing. 2026-06-01T23:09:12+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsfay8j37e2u45mpqgwa2mq2wusp4arzjmtptljwsdl4sqtgvyntvszyrh6l95hw79v8ealdkn35dajjjfazslsq9u7jy9dm568fekx6fxqqsmxd7j And here, mounted to the upper shelf of my desk, with pens.<br/>My desk isn&#39;t super deep (or wide, really) so this placement was the reason I made the thing in the first place.<br/><br/>#fountainPen from top to bottom: <br/>Jinhao 10 retractable (like a Pilot Vanishing Point but significantly more affordable, if not quite as reliable due to the seal) in blue (inked with Diamine Sherwood green) <br/><br/>Montblanc 221 (I got this cheap at a thrift store and the window is slightly leaky but it writes pretty nice if you hold it carefully 😂) inked with Waterman tender purple. <br/><br/>Lammy 2000 (this was my first, and so far only &#34;expensive fancy pen&#34; purchase) it&#39;s inked with a blend of Sherwood green and carbon black for documents. I got it and the Lammy 2000 mechanical pencil (.5mm) as my 40th birthday gift to myself.<br/><br/>A .3mm Pentel Graphgear 1000 I&#39;ve had since college <br/><br/>The Jinhao and the Lammy are the two pens I use the most.<br/> <img src="https://media.pfedi.pfriedma.org/media/30f73156cbb85059bd979c235f938cb228101af2bcac60f466c9cb19292e88ed.jpg"> <br/> 2026-04-06T01:15:45+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsfztppsfqt2sz7ta6d2rwydtqvk93skr207un26x5rqesf0rzk46gzyrh6l95hw79v8ealdkn35dajjjfazslsq9u7jy9dm568fekx6fxqqr96a89 So I had leftover pineapple juice from making rolls for Thanksgiving, and decided yesterday to make a batch of dough and make, like, larger sandwich rolls. <br/>Anyway, I added the shortening far too early in the dough making by mistake, but not like, at the beginning.<br/>What I ended up making were basically giant sweet biscuits (but not entirely like biscuits because the interior is more bread like).<br/>I wouldn&#39;t really know what to call these, but they&#39;re delicious. 2024-12-16T01:06:44+01:00
