True. That is a good thing.

Heinz is particularly bad, they use soy sauce and corn syrup, and I don't think ferment it at all.

Whereas Lea & Perrins use zero soy, and ferment the sauce.

The absolute worst part about it all is that Lea & Perrins was bought out by Heinz in 2005, and yet the Heinz branded sauce is still shit flavored water.

The original is still made the same way, and is still good.

I'll piggyback on your comment with Worcestershire sauce.

Lea & Perrins make the original Worcestershire sauce, they also have never disclosed the full recipe, just the ingredients.

There are store brands and even Heinz makes a sauce. None of them are as good as the original.

I just had a flashback of trying to get cups working...

I'm sort of glad I haven't had to use a printer in years.

Windows 11 also drove me to Linux again...

Although to be fair, it came pre-installed on my new laptop and I was just too lazy to wipe it and switch over. My (now) backup laptop has been running ubuntu for years now, same with my desktop before it died.

But I got about 6 months of windows 11 after de-cluttering it. Still wasn't enough to convince me to keep it.

Shelly and 2020 Subarus.

If I were a data miner, that sort of info could identify, well, more people than I expected, honestly.

It doesn't matter how many people use the service, what matters is how many advertisers are left vs how much debt twitter has to service.

Those two numbers seem to be heavily on the side of the debt now.

We're not yet in a post scarcity world. We're tantalizing close, but not quite there yet.

There are three main areas we need to work on.

First is power generation. We need more, and it needs to be decupled from fossil fuels. Nuclear is the obvious answer for massive amounts of power output without using massive amounts of land, but fossil fuel lobbies have been hamstringing development since the 50s.

The important thing here isn't just replacing fossil fuels. That would just leave us were we are now. No we need to double or triple world power generation as a start.

The second area that needs work is connected to the first. Transportation. Not just electric cars, but container ships and trains and everything in-between.

This is where that added power generation comes in. We need to make it basically free to move things from point A to point B. There are some ways to do this, particularly for container ships. But we need the raw power available before they become viable.

The final area is automation. We need more. Once people need to be put out of work in massive numbers. We need to decuple work from life.

That final step is the hardest with the most pitfalls. It will happen. Well, the automation and unemployment will happen. After that we can either spiral into a hell scape or rise above into a post scarcity utopia...

It really depends on when and how the guillotines come out

1920s orchestral jazz fusion. I'd say it counts. Especially since it's classic jazz, not the more modern jazz that people are familiar with.

It hits all those classical notes and takes them a step further. It's also a true masterpiece. Which gives it even more leeway.

Rhapsody in blue.

Bits and pieces of it have been used in all sorts of places. The story behind it is fascinating.

The TLDR, the guy putting on the concert asked Gershwin to write a jazz fusion piece, Gershwin declined. Then the guy put out promotional material anyway saying that Gershwin was premiering a new piece.

Some back and forth, and Gershwin wrote a masterpiece in less than 5 weeks.

Ah yeah, Lamp. I've not gotten it to work at all.

As for Lutris, I tried both Vortex and the BG3ModManager. Couldn't get either working.

I even tried a straight wine install.

So I've been forced to do mod entries by hand. And even that isn't working, but at least I've stopped crashing the game.

Fun fact about Lutris and BG3ModManager, apparently a recent update to Lutris broke compatibility. I've yet to track down which version, I've just seen posts on various forums from the last few weeks talking about it.

Last week I ditched windows for linux on my last computer.

And yesterday and today have been spent working fruitlessly to mod Baldur's Gate 3.

I cannot for the life of me figure out what's going wrong. So far, I've gotten a grand total of zero mods to work. If I were still on Windows, I could use one of two or three separate mod managers.

Sadly, this new laptop didn't come with Windows 10, only 11. Which was what fueled the drive to ditch it for linux.
