This hobby is for hedonists, not scientists

@abnerjack 

Do you recognize or have a sense of humor?

Yes, of course. Do you think there’s anything remotely funny about all this crap? If so, please explain the joke.

@thecarpathian & @gkelly you may (or not?) know that the renowned scientist Seamus Blackley (aka the father of the Xbox), who is a “bread-nerd” and somewhat famed for his resurrecting yeast from a 4,000 year old Egyptian loaf of bread, wrote an amazing Twitter thread on his experiments in recreating as closely as he could the genuine bagels that late 19th Century Polish Ashkenazi Jew made as immigrants to New York.  Links to Seamus’ brilliant writing and the recipe here: Seamus Blackley’s ashkenazi-bagels

Hmmm....Yes, hedonism is definitely but one of the drivers of this obscured drive towards the personal frisson of device and pleasure of mind and body.

The rituals, the conditioned environs, the search of peak experiences that drives it on....to the edge of a personal masochism, the costs, the unrelenting search and strive for that Next Big Thing that will improve or else....the id that demands, the edge of the insecure falling behind the curl of The Wave of Better you bet....

"If there exists self-made hells ( or nirvanas ), we all must live in them."

...and how's the weather your way? ;)

Cheers, gentlefolk. *clink*

I suspect that an upcoming growth in AI maintenance.....when your fembot develops hichichichiccups or the BT'd fridge decides to be a microwave for a day....
AI Psychiatry.....Yet another "Now, What?!"

...when She/It says, "We have to talk...."

BAGELS RULE…. Apparently.

I have now unintentionally discovered myself, that there is whole new sub culture with bagels AND hi-fi.

The last days posts are full of bagel addicts and sympathisers. Who would have thought such a topic was so tasty?

The ironic thing in raising this bakery delight is the simple fact…… l actually hate bagels.
