So some people stress bake... Anyway! Cowboy Cookies!
1.25 cups (6.25 ounces) all purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon table salt
Whisk all that together in a bowl.
In a SECOND bowl:
1.5 cups (10.5 ounces) packed light brown sugar
12 tablespoons (1.5 sticks) melted and cooled unsalted butter
1 large egg + 1 large yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Whisk all that together until evenly combined, then stir in the flour mixture and whisk until all the dry flour streaks are gone.
1.25 cups (3.75 ounces) old fashioned rolled oats
Stir to combine
1 cup chopped toasted pecans
Stir to combine
1 cup (3 ounces) sweetened shredded coconut
Stir to combine
2/3 cup (4 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Stir to combine
Spray a 1/4 cup measure with cooking spray and use that to scoop up the dough.
Place 8 cookies 2 inches apart on an unrimmed cookie sheet lined with parchment paper (I used a Good Cook AirPerfect sheet which doesn't require parchment or Silpat or anything!)

Bake at 350° for 8 minutes, rotate the sheet and bake another 8 minutes.
Remove from oven and let sit on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes to finish cooking.

Place cookies on a wire rack to finish cooling and bake the other 1/2 of the cookies, makes 15 to 16 cookies total.

Some of you know I was offline for a bit this week for surgery. What you didn't know (and what **I** didn't know until about 2 hours ago) is that the surgery has uncovered cancer.
I'm intentionally using "c" cancer and not "C" Cancer because 6 months ago the biopsies I had done were pre-cancerous with no sign of cancer proper.
So, whatever it is, it developed in the last 6 months and I take that as a good sign.
From here I need to focus on doing what the docs tell me to do starting with blood tests tomorrow, then we're doing genetic stuff and a CT scan, that will tell us the official "stage" of the cancer.
My plan is to come back, but it won't be immediate and I don't (yet) have any sort of timeline. My ideas are probably more aggressive than the doctors and insurance will allow. 😉
So I'm planning on the worst, doing paperwork, advanced directives, all the stuff you don't usually have to think about. Then we'll see where it goes.
I wish Lemmy all the luck in the world!

Think of it in terms of an employer, are you going to hire someone who can't keep a job more than 6 months?
Someone wants a committed relationship, you show that, for you, boredom > commitment. Rather than work out why you become bored, you bail.
Yeah, that's a pretty big red flag.

Counter argument:
Early on in the days of AI, so, geeze, like all of 2 years ago now, Steve Coulson was experimenting using Midjourney to create comic books.
You can download them for free, the most impressive one at the time was "The Lesson":
https://aicomicbooks.com/book/the-lesson-book-by-steve-coulson-download-now/
At this point the creator is less of an artist than they are a producer. He worked from a script and used AI to generate each individual panel of the book.
I'm sure for each panel finally used there were hundreds, if not thousands of rejects, either because they failed to meet the request or didn't match the style, or the character models weren't quite right, or there were too many hallucinations, etc. etc.
It still took a human to go through and make the artistic choices necessary to map the images to the narrative and produce the book as a whole.
In this way, AI art is kind of like decoupage. All the images used are pre-existing, but it still takes human intent to select and combine them in a new way.

::: spoiler spoiler
The whole bit where it turns out Grace didn't actually volunteer, that they forced him on to the mission. Those scenes are given away in the trailer.

Not just Rocky... I won't spoil it here, but there are scenes in the trailer that are a REALLY late revelation in the book.
It also looks very Earth centric I wonder if they're going to avoid the whole flashback sequences by just doing everything chronologically.

I would say "no" because the 360 did have the capability of 720p and 1080p. There isn't much you have to do to get it working with a modern television.
That's not the case with a TRULY retro console, either in terms of resolution or connectivity.

Save it from what? I thought 2024 was supposed to have been a good year?
Looking at the numbers from boxofficemojo it looks like things still haven't recovered from the Pandemic:
https://www.boxofficemojo.com/year/?ref_=bo_nb_hm_secondarytab
| Year | Box Office | vs. Prev Year |
|---|---|---|
|2024|$8,569,972,229|-3.8%|
|2023|$8,908,478,987|+20.9%|
|2022|$7,369,914,732|+64.4%|
|2021|$4,483,016,589|+112.1%|
|2020|$2,113,386,800|-81.4%|
|2019|$11,363,363,945|-4.4%|
Prior to 2020 it was a pretty consistent 10-11B a year going back to 2009.

Sooo... black smoke in 3-2-1?
Interesting bit of trivia for anyone interested in such things:
In 1595, a "prophecy" was published claiming to predict all the Popes through the end times.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prophecy_of_the_Popes
Benedict was the last one on the list. So we're in uncharted territory until "Peter the Roman" ends it all by destroying Rome.

I don't typically cross my "comics" interests with my political interests, but this is fascinating commentary.
Art Spiegelman, notably won a Pulitzer for "Maus" his graphic novel re-telling of his father surviving the Holocaust and his modern era attempt at extracting the story from him.

Judge Dredd was quite good even though Stallone took the helmet off a bunch. IIRC he was willing to do the whole thing in helmet, but I bet the money guys needed to see his face.
Never thought I'd see the Angel Family on film, that was wild!
Bonus: The actor playing psychotic cannibal Pa Angel would go on to be the kindly farmer Herschel on Walking Dead.

They aren't interested in cutting waste. If they were, they would be slashing the Pentagon budget. Notice how all this talk of cost cutting, nobody is breathing a word about the Pentagon?
Because that's where the fraud, waste and abuse is.
Remember the last time someone was supposed to take Pentagon waste seriously? No, of course not, because it was 9/10/2001.
