The key to making good coffee is consistency. Perform the same steps in the same order the same way every time. Not for flavor, but so you can make coffee before you've had coffee.

Before and during WW1 nations attempted to ban weapons that were too frightening or that gave one side an advantage, including dropping bombs from planes/blimps, firing from subs while underwater, and chemical weapons. Didn't work. https://www.businessinsider.com/killer-drone-hunted-down-human-target-without-being-told-un-2021-5

That scene in The Dark Knight where Batman turns everyone's cellphones into a massive surveillance network, was supposed to be a cautionary tale, not a project roadmap.

The finished product.

Every year or two around St. Patrick's Day I buy some extra corned beef when it's on sale and then later on I turn it into pastrami. It's a simple process: add a pepper and coriander rub, smoke it like any other brisket, and a few hours later you got pastrami.

@ajmartinez started with a trout crudo, then spanish style cod cakes as the main course.

@Columbkille @benis @ruff I suspect it's not trolling, just different guidance in different countries due to the different types of vaccines being used throughout the world, each with different rates of efficacy.

@le_ArthurDent@mastodon.social Thanks it's (literally) growing on me as well!

@ruff @Columbkille @benis I'm specifically talking about recent real-world studies on efficacy of Moderna and Pfizer (these studies I believe were part of what changed recent CDC guidance). My understanding is that while other vaccines also show some level of protection against transmission, it's not as high.

@benis @Columbkille Thanks for your concern, but expert consensus is that people with post-vaccination immunity do not spread the virus.

It's been two weeks since my second vaccination, so we celebrated our immunity by eating *inside* a restaurant for the first time in a long time. It was weird but also amazing.

Something about this Epic lawsuit is causing some Apple users to notice the pot of water they are bathing in is getting hot.

Couldn't have said it better myself: "Apple says it's protecting our security and privacy, but it has become clear that locking down our iPhones is also about controlling us so Apple can make more money." https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2021/05/27/apple-iphone-monopoly/

@choboDOC @todd @purism When we have news we'll be sure to publish it on our blog.

@ajmartinez It's a good question. Given the incompatibilities that are already there between Android and the Linux desktop maybe it won't matter all that much for folks like us. It will likely impact the projects that aim to create a fully free software, Google-less version of Android the most.
