Food
I was so irritated by my first French Dip sandwich experience that I tried again, with changes. Quite a few of them.
First of all, the beef wasn't roast beef, it was medium rare rump/sirloin steak, sliced gossamer-thin after chilling. Way, way, way less time and fucking around compared to a whole roast beef.
Secondly, that baguette experience the last time really put me off. So, I baked my own rolls: high-hydration things engineered to not shred the roof of my mouth while still being able to survive having gravy-sodden beef thrown in them, then dipped.
Thirdly, I didn't bother with the caramelised onions from the last time. They added nothing interesting.
Fourth, I tweaked the gravy itself. It was much more of a red wine reduction sauce, made with reduced oxtail beef stock I had made a while back and froze in portions, and the deglazing liquid from the steaks, along with their resting juices. Sticky, gelatinous, hyper-beefy goodness.
Lastly, Dijon mustard on both halves of the bread.
Much, much better. This was fucking delicious, and I'll make it again.
- Ya lost me at "didn't bother with the caramelized onions". What the hell??Akagiyama

FUCK ADOBE!
Woah. So these guys seem to have reverse engineered the whole Adobe CS and released it as open source. Probably heavy use of AI for decompiling and putting it back together in rust. They might even get away with it legally because the super secret source code was never patented so it could stay super secret...

- It's a bit glitch, but not bad. Sadly the print dialogue doesn't interfce with the drivers directly, so I can test output, but at least it can edit fairly well.Nairn
- Oh, this is regarding VectorCraft.Nairn

*can't test outputNairn - Awe an AI company got fucked by AI so sad LOLGuyFawkes
- "Probably heavy use of AI for decompiling"
"Probably"???? lolGuyFawkes - Pretty crazy to see how AI is wiping out the software market. I've been dreaming of not giving Adobe another penny for years. Soon.set

Mort, you were right man. I put my hand too far in the cage and the trolls ate it. Can we have a disclaimer under Build your portfolio with Kropp saying 'Do not feed the Trolls'. Just for me?!

Client of the Day
Ok, I know it is an old and already lost battle:
I hate having to chase clients for invoice payments... seriously, I respond to your emails or calls immediately, I work fast, and you never have any complaints about the results.
Why this blatant lack of respect?
Maybe I’m a dying breed, but—damn it—I always look after my collaborators; I pay suppliers promptly and without delay.
Seriously, some people are in for a rude awakening once we get replaced by AI.
* I look forward to watching them suffer while I sit in the shade of a nice tree, with a drink and something on the bbq, chuckling to myself and saying... "Sucks to be you now, you bastards!"
- Yurp. I'm lucky in that a lot of the stuff I do I can preinvoice for. It's amazing how efficient payment is when they NEED something. Fuck dealing with accountsNairn
- ..departments with arcane and entirely self-concerned payment cycles. Just go for the boss who can pay by card or transfer, in advance.Nairn

- 6 million who died in nazi concentration camps would like to have a word. And I think the Omaha Beach antifascists, toojamesbeat
- how people who are dead would like to have a word? are you trying to put something in their mouths, mister necrophile?rzu-rzu
- I guess a certain kind of person would not get the quote in question, normal people do though.rzu-rzu
- that is to say: if you too far left everything would seem far right, and if you are too far right then everything would seem far left.rzu-rzu
- if you are*rzu-rzu
- I see your point, and I think Ennio wasn't far off the mark at all... some time ago, I read a similar take from Gipi (comic author):
https://shorturl.at/…OBBTKN - Should note that quote is actually by Maccari, and it is "In Italy, fascists divide themselves into two categories: fascists and antifascists."garbage
- (Spoiler: Maccari was a full-blooded Mussolini fascist. Don't they teach this in art history?)garbage
- funny thing is: if the "antifascists" were not such arrogant and annoying self-righteous cunts, nobody would ever think to vote fascists. Yin-yang situation.rzu-rzu
- Yeah, it's self-righteous to watch craven lunatics systematically destroy democracy and speak up about it.garbage
- Stick to easily fact-checked, "mom's on FB again" puerile memes.garbage
- The good ol' "look at what you made me do" argument.palimpsest
- garbage, does systematically destroy democracy include ballot stuffing, loosening election integrity...hotroddy
- and using campaign donations to pay the homeless and unhoused to vote you?hotroddy
- arrogant and annoying self righteous ? i think they hanged sophie scholl because she spread flyers... not because she was the two things.. not so funny thingneverscared
- @neverscared: had to google her, so the actual nazi germans hanged her in 1943...rzu-rzu
- ... and I meant those more modern antifascists, you know, those who fight against fascism that has been defeated in 1945rzu-rzu

- more arrogant than the rest...neverscared
- @rzu I think you're a bit too simple to realize you're posting both a misattributed and incomplete quote that strips it of its historical significance.garbage
- Projection is a staple of the toolbox. The actual quote is of an Italian fascist calling his opponent a fascist. Literally a historical example of gaslighting.garbage
- yeah but one is entitled to his opinion that both fascists and antifascists are two sides of the same rotten coinrzu-rzu
- You’re entitled for sure. But having an opinion doesn’t make the comparison analytically sound, and it isn’t a defense of the reasoning behind it.canoe
