Ramen of the Day
Dinner last evening.
Aburasoba.
Generally considered to be originally from Musashino in the west of Tokyo. Strictly speaking a sort of mazesoba, but with a lot more oil (abura).
Mine has a shoyu tare that I use for Hachiōji ramen, with a combination of rendered bacon fat and roasted sesame oil as the abura.
A bit of rice vinegar.
Julienne chashu.
Menma (not the homemade fermented stuff, I ate it all already).
Spring onions.
Egg yolk.
A drizzle of my homemade chipotle-based chilli oil.Mix it all together and weep with joy.

Romania calling
I once worked with this Romanian Design Engineer that brought some kind of clear liquor in a clear water bottle to an office holiday party.
I only had a few sips, on top of my normal few beers, and had to call my wife with baby in tow to come pick me up.

QBN'r AI Slop of the day
I’ve been experimenting pretty heavily with Seedance 2.0 and this is one of the results.
The main reason I made this was to stress test the prompting process while building a Seedance 2.0 prompting guide. I wanted to run a real project through it, see where the model breaks, refine the instructions, and figure out what actually helps when trying to get better cinematic results.
The video started as a fake Japanese-style ramen spec ad, but really it became a test for action, pacing, product reveals, and visual continuity. This probably took a few days of prompting and around $300 in credits to get to this point.
It’s definitely not perfect. There are plenty of weird discrepancies and AI artifacts throughout, but compared to where this stuff was even six months ago, it feels like night and day.
The guide I’m putting together is meant to be uploaded to your LLM as a project file, so you can talk through your idea and have it help structure cleaner, more usable Seedance 2.0 prompts. Ideally, it saves time, credits, and a lot of trial and error.
I’ll probably have it up on my site later today.
- groovy, the fight in the end .. shouldnt she be damaged when the one swat bloke fires at here.?. or gives the ramen bullet proof skin...neverscared
- oh man there's WAY more discrepancies than that lol, but yeah dude shooting her is like a damn storm trooper + he's not directly aimed at her..YakuZoku
- more like in between the 2YakuZoku
- one discrepancy that bugged the hell out of me was the interior of the alley open doorway, but I was like, I'm not wasting another $20 on that shit lolYakuZoku
- I'd buy that ramen.bezoar
- love the ending LOLutopian
- still has that glow or blurpango
- sure there are more wrongs in the video, but that seems the hardest because he stand 2 meter from here and its hard to miss her from that distance..neverscared
- i guess thats where the precision ends and the slop starts generally speaking.neverscared
- Yes, how do we get that glow/blur away? This is still what bothers me most with AI because it simply reminds me of its beginning.Longcopylover

- Nothing good has ever come of cruise ships, except maybe allowing James Cameron to get rich off Titanic & making the Avatar series?
My point still stands!!!!palimpsest - kubricks wife and kids are still alliveneverscared
- We can fix that, get them on a cruise ship.palimpsest
- you mean your morbid hate still stands.neverscared
- My man!palimpsest
- fuck em!YakuZoku
- wouldnt it be more catastrophic if the infected would have traveled by plane ?neverscared
- The reasoning is that they would have been less likely to catch it had been traveling by plane.palimpsest
- naw the speed of traveling i thought, if he is in here by plane in 6 hours , then the spreading is in europe pronto compared to boat..neverscared
- probably makes no so much of a difference with the incubation time..neverscared
- Ok, torpedo this boat and nuke Morocco after this, both deserve itOBBTKN

We don't take requests.palimpsest - Don't think it was the same kind of cruise that gives them all a bad reputation. This one actually sounded chill and fascinating.cotton

...it betta be in Strait of Hormuz.utopian - My mate's currently on a Mediterranean cruise with his wife. I hope he doesn't die, but if he does, he deserves itIanbolton

U.S.A!palimpsest - if only the trains would ride like they do in japan..milfhunter
- That would be nice but if you're in a city, bikes are the best.CyBrainX
- According to the source, and common knowledge public transportation is best. In terms of efficiency.palimpsest
- A bus is like a group text and a bike is like 50 separate phone calls. Both get the message across, but the group text uses much less battery and time.palimpsest
- Cars are 50 people each hiring a private courier to deliver a sticky note.palimpsest

- The famous getting laid parameter.
Doesn't this speak in favor of public transportation though?

Food
Yeah. Dinner was homemade döner kebab (the emulsified beef mince variety).
Made the bread, upon which I sprinkled white and black sesame seeds, and nigella seeds (off frame).
White sauce is Greek yoghurt, Kewpie mayo, and absolutely copious amounts of grated raw garlic and dried mint.
Red sauce is the chilli one I made yesterday.
Red onions dressed with lemon juice, olive oil, sumac, and a touch of salt.
Leaves are a mix of rucola, parsley, mint, and coriander.
Tomatoes. Cucumbers.
It was filthy. And fucking great.
Tomorrow is birria day.
- What's the technique for the delicious-sounding 'emulsified beef mince variety'?Nairn
- Basically, following one of Andong's (spit) versions that he made. Basically, whazzing mince in a food procressor with the yoghurt and spices until it's paste.Continuity
- www.youtube.com/watc…...Continuity
- From there, cook in a loaf tin, chil, turn on an end, and shave off strips to crisp up in the frying pan.Continuity
- Bro.monospaced
- Not-2 kilos of not-shawarma.Continuity
- @Nairn, have you seen this? I'll be trying this method next.
