13-14 minutes at 75C (in shell), shock in ice water, crack into a slotted spoon to drain runny white. I realize this is not technically poaching, but the result is effectively a poached egg, and that's what people are referring to (afaik) when they're referring to poached sous vide eggs.
>A big conversation I see now days is what’s “wrong” with the modern nba, with too many 3’s being the most common refrain. That’s silly. I will tell you what’s actually wrong about the nba. They’re playing the most amazing basketball the worlds ever seen, but the entertainment ecosystem around them hasn’t changed at all. Literally they just talk about the stupidest stuff, like who’s the GOAT, instead of actually educating their audiences about the incredible level of play that exists now days.
100% agree on this. NBA coverage, especially on ESPN is garbage. Not to mention how expensive it is to (legally) watch the NBA. If they actually had better coverage explaining different facets of the game, and analyzing it, maybe people would appreciate what they're seeing more.
It certainly does to me....Firefox and ublock origin makes using the modern web easier. Anytime I use some other combination (at work, or someone else's device) I can't stand most websites.
I know there are problems around Mozilla the org, or the how firefox is funded, but I hope it's not going anywhere.
Firefox and uBlock Origin definitely make the web more usable and I’m shocked when I occasionally see what a non-techie friend’s browser screen looks like. However, adblock is only a band-aid over the dying of the web overall. Blogs are dead, forums are dead, ostensible replacements like Reddit or microblogging sites suffer from the decline in longform text and nuance (as their userbase is overwhelmingly contributing from mobile devices now). So much information that would have once been presented in efficient text is now in time-wasting video, etc.
Thanks to LibGen and Anna’s Archive, I find myself reading actual books more these days, many published long before I was even born, to scratch my itch for learning. Wikipedia aside, a bunch of pirated grayscale scans from university libraries is suddenly more fulfilling than the information superhighway that the web was hyped to be.
Having the software is not enough. A web browser is not one and done. Without a development team behind it, Firefox would fall even further into obscurity. Also, a failure at Mozilla would send a pretty clear message that the whole idea is untenable.
This idea that Google is pushing too many features is just silly.
The fact of the matter is that the web has been losing to native mobile apps and closed ecosystems. For many people, Facebook's mobile app is the Internet, and they're installing it from a closed app store. The web is an open application platform, whether you like it or not, and it either evolves to compete with mobile apps, or it's going to die.
For this reason, Google does more to preserve the open web than its competition in the browser space. And yes, I find these stats worrying when opened in Firefox:
And look, if you want to use a text-based browser like it's the 90s, go for it, but I'm pretty sure that most people are glad to see apps running in their full-fledged browser; because the browser is cross-platform, it's the perfect sandbox, and opening a web page isn't gated. YMMV.
I have no idea if some of the issues I reported with 9.3 led to those issues being fixed in 10, but I really did appreciate things like my cursor keys working in the shell, right off the boot media. ;-)
It's proving to be a good release so far. Hopefully they get more support in the form of manpower and cash. Looking forward to NetBSD and the increasing popularity of ARM in the future.
