I would like to understand the pedigree of those images. Someone had to go through an awful LOT of trouble to save them to a floppy... This leaves a lot of open questions. Scanners at the time were technological torture apparatus.

Skip the AI slop calculator and go straight to this recipe. This recipe is war-hardened.

Yields: Approximately 5 6 in/6cm pancakes (Serves 2–3)

Ingredient | Measurement

All-purpose flour (type 00 flower works well) | 210 g (1 ½ cups)

Sugar | 50 g (¼ cup)

Baking soda/backnatron | 5–10 g (2 tsp)

Butter | 55 g (¼ cup), plus extra for the pan

Vanilla | 5–10 g (2 tsp)

Large eggs | 2

Whole milk | 245 g / 240 ml (1 cup)

Fresh berries | As desired (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)

Instructions

Prep: Preheat your frying pan over medium heat. Grease the surface lightly with butter or oil.

Combine: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and baking soda. In a separate container, whisk the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Gently stir the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined.

Cook: Ladle one soup ladle of batter into the hot pan.

Add Berries: Drop a few fresh berries onto the top of the cooking pancake.

Flip: Cook until bubbles have popped and stopped forming, then flip.

Adjust heat if necessary: If the pancake is slightly burnt, reduce the heat. Cook until golden brown.

The picture provided doesn't inspire much confidence in their ability to make pancakes, especially after "25" years. They are burnt, sad-looking pancakes.

Question: Does Blues Traveler appear in the Epstein files? Blues Traveler

Answer: Yes, "Blues Traveler" appears in the files, but not in a way that directly connects the band to Jeffrey Epstein or his activities.

Key Findings:

XM Radio Mention: An email from "XM Signal" dated July 8, 2008, mentions a "Starbucks XM Café Live with Blues Traveler" event. [1] This appears to be a reference to a broadcast or performance by the band on XM Satellite Radio. Analysis:

The searches did not reveal any direct involvement of the band "Blues Traveler" with Jeffrey Epstein or his associates. The mention found is in the context of a radio event.

It's important to distinguish this from the multiple mentions of "Blue Water Café," which is a restaurant and appears in several travel itineraries. [2][3][4]

Further Investigation:

If you have a specific reason to believe "Blues Traveler" might be connected, please provide more details. For instance, was there a particular event, person, or date you had in mind? This could help refine the search.

Good work! I first played this game in my elementary school computer lab which was stocked first with apple IIe. They then transitioned to apple LC with 1 or two Power Macintosh G3 All-In-One models. On these machines they had this game and Nanosaur.

Re:I'll think twice before using GitHub Actions again on Monday January 20, 2025 @04:37AM (#42766794)
Act has limitations because GitHub Actions run via virtualization, while Act runs via containerization. This means that actions behave differently across the two platforms.
The interesting part comes with building a simulation on top of this. For example with simulated citizens that go about their day fulfilling needs, going to work etc.

I was wondering about this too—it's super interesting! Did you create this? Could you add graphs showing acceleration and deceleration? Also, this might be a dumb question, but how does mass factor into the energy calculations? I would love to see graphs that include the multiple stages of travel (acceleration and deceleration) as well as the mass of various kinds of fuel required for different propulsion systems such as chemical rocket, nucular etc.
The DB app is absolute hot garbage. God forbid you don't have internet or it randomally updates logging you out. All of his previous arguments are valid.
Actually, this is completely false. It is extremely easy to over hydrate to a life threatening degree if you do physical activity. It is quite trivial in fact to become hyponitremic.

One of the "greatest" miscarriage of justice in British history... Thats rich. The sun never sets on the British Empire... Without a doubt this is a miscarriage of justice but this does not even move the needle on the list of atrocities that the British empire is responsible for.
This is some dangerous Sigmoid Freud shit. "The presence of various fruit plots signifies an understanding of farm-to-table sustainability...". A tarot card reading would have more meaning, significance, and value. Taking a heroic dosage of edibles and then doing a dramatic interpretation would have more meaning. If you feel like your kid's drawings need AI interpretation then what they really need is probably a credentialed professional or you could simply ask them how they are feeling...
