  • Wouldn’t that be added when the pasta is cold? I get the feeling OOP did this with hot pasta, possibly even heating the mayonnaise to make it more “like” Alfredo sauce.

  • My understanding is XFCE is a lighter-weight desktop environment than the Cinnamon desktop environment used in the standard Mint distribution. That makes XFCE better suited for older or lower-resource hardware.

  • Can you have your job pay for an iPhone while you have a different personal phone? I’m a big fan of keeping a work device that’s separate from a personal device.

  • I didn’t watch the video but assumed there’s at least some USB ports on the device based on it running Windows.

  • I guess I interpreted your comment to mean they would go for a higher-end arrangement, something more exclusively available to people with large amounts of money, not a cheap arrangement found in an older shopping center.

  • Billionaire Robert Kraft was caught at a low-end “massage parlor” in Florida. It seemed like a slam-dunk case but his lawyers were able to argue that the warrant allowing detectives to place hidden cameras in the rooms didn’t explicitly include recording the videos so the recordings couldn’t be used in court as evidence. Without the recordings of him asking for and receiving sexual services from a potentially trafficked person the prosecutors weren’t able to make a case and he remains a free man, not guilty in the eyes of the law even though what he did became widely known. Still blows my mind that he had the financial resources for any variety of overtly-transactional or less-overtly-transactional-and-perfectly-legal-in-most-jurisdictions relationships with willing participants, yet he chose the really cheap and illegal route with someone who was likely coerced into the action by a third party. Was that part of the appeal?

  • As an x86 system, the Latte Panda runs Windows 11, along with a simple kiosk software package written in Python. The software uses Google Firebase as a database backend.

    This doesn’t feel as Open Source as I expected

  • I would think of a Point of Sale being more like a cash register or the terminal where a waiter sends an order to the kitchen in a restaurant. Credit card transactions are usually handled by a separate device that connects to the PoS, except for a few devices created by credit card processing companies. It seems like it’s easier ever since the introduction of security chips to hand that off to specialist vendors.

  • When I was 9 my mom took me to Disney World. It turns out they have (or at least had) fantastic cinnamon rolls. While I was happily enjoying it a bird stole it right out of my hand. That was over 30 years ago and I still hold a grudge about it.

  • Have you ever made money online?

  • Do you have skills you can freelance with? I’ve occasionally gotten work on Upwork and there are other platforms that might be viable, but it really matters to find jobs looking for skills you have, and having skills that are in demand. You have a client, not a boss, and whether or not you need to be in meetings depends on the kinds of jobs you go after.

  • Cracker Barrel Outrage Was Almost Certainly Driven by Bots, Researchers Say

  • No, I think that was always pretty obvious. There are other times (like this with Cracker Barrel) where it’s more up for debate

  • Cleaner, not cheaper. Waffle House has always been cheaper. If you’re on a road trip with kids it’s nicer to feel reasonably confident you’re taking them into clean restrooms.

  • People have been suggesting this as a strategy at least since New Coke debuted. We can’t always definitively say that was actually the plan, but sometimes we can like with IHOP.
