And if someone didn’t get enough sauce out of my comment, here’s some discussion on what to call them: Garum, Liquamen and Muria: A new approach to the problem of definition

Tuna and large fish were traditionally used for “garum”, while small fish were used for “liquamen”. (Though the naming changed with time to reflect production processes rather than raw materials).

Garum was always expensive, while liquamen was initially cheaper and the byproducts of garum production (muria and allec) were the cheapest of them all, and probably the latter was what was given to slaves.

It is available in some specialized supermarkets, I think at least one Spanish version is available in the US. In fact, there are several versions available from the same country, but with modernized recipes.

If you can find a bottle, here’s a recipe for you: https://www.historicalcookingclasses.com/garum/

In fact, some high-end places tend to fabricate their own garum with different bases than fish: https://www.foodandwine.com/condiments/why-chefs-have-loved-garum-since-ancient-times

Then there were that people that were putting AMD cpus the wrong way because they were building the computer vertically.

At my age, I’ll pick a game that doesn’t require several hours of unfun stuff to get to the fun stuff (endless tutorials, churning, unfun mechanics, git-gud, etc…)

If I want to dedicate lots of times to learn something, I’ll pick any of the thousands of half-done projects and abandoned hobbies spread around my home.

Tell that to Robespierre.

Fujitsu also has been trying to get into this market with riken for a while.

Just as a clarification for anyone that wants to understand its scale: This upgrade gives it 125.9 pflop/s while the fastest supercomputer right now (El Capitan) peaks at 2,746.38 pflop/s.

Disclaimer: A lot has happened in the last six months, and often the top six positions get taken by newcomers.

I often hear that woke was a “stolen” word as it was used by African Americans and then the right started using it pejoratively.

I hope we can get it back like it happened with queer.

Maybe he’s not walking, maybe he’s Walken.

So, this is an article about Space Quest II and it briefly mentions King’s Quest III… Maybe it’s just me but I thought the title promised games as many, this felt like a random blog post.

Critical thinking: We would be in a better world if more people were capable of it.

Lovely bee.

I hated them until I learned about their wiggly dance as a method of communication and how the wigglier it gets the more they stress out how important the resource is. I wish that our resolution method was twerking, our society will be different. Plus while we always talk about queens and whatnot, in reality they are pretty democratic

Anyhow thanks for sharing.

I have this one! Probably at my folks’ place, definitely I’ll put it behind my chair so people can see it during video calls.

My theory is that she’s a kelpie, a pond mermaid or a Ceffyl Dŵr.

OBJECTION!

In the Movie Matrix, initially the script argued (Spoilers from here) that the machines used human brains as computation farms, but studio execs thought it was “too complicated”.

I would argue that using birds (corvids?) seems more cost effective based on energy efficiency per brain gram. Machines would only need a steady supply of corn.

So “Dinosaurs” is actually a documentary and birds abandoned technology because it caused mass extinction and future humans will do the same.

Imagine if octopuses lived for 60 years and they figure out we’re eating them. Nobody would ever be safe in a body of salt water.

To solve this, I have created an exhaustive and detailed schedule plan that I promptly ignore.

Argentina is the clear example of why you should never ever mix Italians and Spaniards. Their combination brings economic calamity and delicious food.
