  - Thanks!! -- nm - Krusty Nov 4, 20:44
- did you like any that America's test Kitchen tested? -- nm - Peglegpete Nov 4, 20:36 1
  - They haven't come up in my search yet. A Breville model seems to be the best one but is spendy. I was wrong in earlier, it's $150. -- nm* - Krusty Nov 4, 20:38
What’s the endgame for Twitter at this point? I mean, to call this “the week from hell” would be an understatement. - Mop Nov 4, 20:26 8

        Automattic, I thought? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 20:47
- not sure when but it's going to crash and fold. -- nm - Remlik Nov 4, 20:28
This won't mean anything to most of you, but Mike Tyson just did the announcing in a Shibata match during an AEW broadcast. - The Gossip King Nov 4, 20:19 12

  - It was pretty grim. - The Gossip King Nov 4, 20:32 10
    - wow -- nm - Remlik Nov 4, 20:43
    - I remember when he returned. He took a back bump for some reason but the crowd loved it. - Tim Nov 4, 20:39 1
      - Yeah, the KENTA thing was incredible. He went off script during the exhibition, and I think that's when New Japan said, "No way!" - The Gossip King Nov 4, 20:40
    - I believe the quote is accurate, but I expect there might have been some technical nuance to the procedure ... - Beryllium Nov 4, 20:35 6
      - Yeah... Subdural hematoma is more of a "drill a hole and drain the blood" procedure than a "do something that has never been done before" procedure. -- nm - Ender Nov 4, 20:47 2
        
        I could see them having to go larger than a hole to relieve pressure - like taking a chunk of skull out. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 20:48 1
        
        Sure. I don't trust Dave Metzler in this arena. -- nm* - Ender Nov 4, 20:50
      - I don't think there's any way to make that sound less than dramatic. -- nm - The Gossip King Nov 4, 20:40 2
        
        How did they disconnect and reconnect his spinal chord and eyes, then? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 20:42 1
        
        Is it chord or cord? Probably cord. But chord is amusing. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 20:42
If this is true, things are going to get bad on Twitter. Dire. -- (link) - Beryllium Nov 4, 20:15 2

Weird - psilotum Nov 4, 18:36 1
- I’m giving it a thumbs up. There’s definitely some subtle undertones of UHF in it. -- nm - Mop Nov 4, 20:46
Beaker has inspired me - crash davis Nov 4, 18:26 12
- I like Vons/Albertsons Signature pizzas. I buy a cheese pizza and add what I want. It's normally about $5, but is on sale all the time for $2-2.50 -- nm - Peglegpete Nov 4, 18:39 3
  - that is a good idea -- nm - crash davis Nov 4, 18:47 2
    - I like their rising crust best. blue is a great cheese to ad on for flavor -- nm - Peglegpete Nov 4, 19:15 1
      - about 5 years ago I went thru every frozen pizza maker in the store focusing on sauce flavor & crust flavor and firmness. all the other stuff on top - Peglegpete Nov 4, 19:42
- -- -- -- nm* - mud Nov 4, 18:34
- For me, keto "pizza" is - psilotum Nov 4, 18:34 6
  - I had a cauliflower crust once. I actually liked it -- nm - crash davis Nov 4, 18:46 5
    - Studio Pizza (like Mod where they let you choose the toppings) had a great cauli crust, Mod not so much. -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 4, 18:58 3
      - Apparently there's exactly 1 mod pizza location in Canada, and it's in the next town over from me. Worth trying? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 19:41 2
        
        They make single serving, thin crust pizzas to order. Fixed price for as many toppings as you like. - psilotum Nov 4, 20:02 1
        
        It's like subway or Chipotle where you get to micro manage a dozen choices in add ons, I go for pepperoni carpet -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 5, 11:26
    - I like that crust as well. -- nm - Remlik Nov 4, 18:47
I have never played a Final Fantasy game. If I wanted to try one, which one should it be? -- nm - Ender Nov 4, 18:02 5
- If graphics matter, the remake of FF7. If they don't, Final Fantasy X is phenomenal and comes with a ready-made sequel. -- nm - The Gossip King Nov 4, 18:39 1
  - X/X2 is a third the price, so I'll give those a shot first. -- nm - Ender Nov 4, 19:46
- I really love FF7R. - Marlowe Nov 4, 18:12
- IV and VI were the classic 90s SNES games. VII looked pretty at the time on the PS1 but is very overrated. -- nm - Tim Nov 4, 18:09

- What show? -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 4, 17:47 6
  - (Westworld) -- nm - Beaker Nov 4, 17:48 5
    - 6 years then. They were airing middle season 1 when I was in the hotel. That might be part of the issue. - Will Hunting Nov 4, 17:50 4
      - for me, if you cancel a show after 4+ years without an end I will NEVER signup as why would I expect you to finish the story... -- nm - Beaker Nov 4, 17:53 3
        
        I'd be more upset that a series didn't have a rolling storyline that featured beginnings, middles, and ends. Sure, do an overarching one, but come on. -- nm - Qale Nov 4, 18:10 1
        
        I got you, babe. -- nm - Andor Nov 4, 18:55
        
        it is the cable thing only 10000 times worse. -- nm - Beaker Nov 4, 17:54

  - an all female heist movie where they use trained cats? this is getting more and more promising -- nm - crash davis Nov 4, 18:25
  - ! -- nm - prayformojo Nov 4, 18:10
- that is a step in the right direction, hopefully Hukkle is fine and will adapt to the doggie sooner rather than later -- nm - crash davis Nov 4, 17:52
Let's Get Peripheral -- nm - prayformojo Nov 4, 17:08 9
- I just asked Kim to start it, too. -- nm - The Gossip King Nov 4, 17:13 8
  - Word of warning: there is one particularly gross bit in episode 1 but you'll have time to look away. -- nm - Sub-baroner Nov 4, 17:20 7
    - Technically two gross bits, but one is definitely more gross -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 17:32 6
      - (The less-gross bit happens a little while after the more-gross bit) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 17:33 5

Elon comments on layoffs: Claims Twitter losing $4M/day -- (link*) - budice Nov 4, 16:13 22
- Wait... for math simplicity let's say they all make $400/day. So he needs to permanently eliminate 10,000 jobs to break even. - Max Nov 5, 08:40
- "Elon Musk Blocks Top Marketer Who Questioned Twitter’s Retreat From Content Moderation" - Marlowe Nov 4, 18:10 2

  - "He has the right not to listen to you" HOLY SHIT THAT'S BEEN THE POINT THE WHOLE FUCKING TIME -- nm - Reagen Nov 4, 18:24

- Carlton Whitfield would not triage by cutting. He would expand. -- nm - Max Nov 4, 16:32
- As an object lesson for staying in one's lane, this is a pretty good one. -- nm - TWuG Nov 4, 16:28

  - Isn't he essentially starting in the red because he wildly overpaid? -- nm - colin Nov 4, 17:02
- Oh, this reminds me of a feature I want to add to ST. A user preference to block URL embeds. (I think Ender suggested it) -- nm* - Beryllium Nov 4, 16:18
- I mean, he could take a salary cut of $4mil a day too -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 4, 16:17
