Perhaps your attention span needs improvement.


What's the use in ice cream?

My ice cream is just ... ice cream. Cream, milk, sugar.


Several reasons. Texture and freeze-thaw stability are the main reasons. The latter being an issue for home use mainly.

Your freezer’s self-defrost works by getting a little warm and then cold again. That causes ice crystals to melt and re-freeze, which is the opposite of what you want. Gums help with that and that’s why it’s in most of the ones you see at the grocery store.

They also can be used to give body to things that don’t have as much protein, like sorbets.


As an emulsifier, allowing the fats and the water to mix better. I _think_ it also might help to trap air bubbles. It helps you turn on the creaminess-knob

Egg yolk is the usual emulsifier, in the UK at least - ice cream is essentially a frozen whipped custard.

That’s also an option. I usually make mine without due to friends with egg allergies and vegan friends

I agree. A lot of commenters who have probably had privileged lives and never faced a situation where violence was, in fact, the answer.

I think it’s the opposite: many of these keyboard warriors advocating for violence in 2026 in America have no fucking clue what they’re advocating for, or how stupid they sound.

It's not good for this sort of disagree with a CEO stuff. Fighting Hitler is ok. Typed from England where we fought Hitler but don't generally go for CEOs. Is that privileged?

And they live in a country where the industry of violence is the largest slice of government budget.


Very well said.

I agree this is a symptom of large systemic issues.

Long gone are the days a bumbling fool could get a well paying job at the local power plant and provide a good life for a wife and three children, with a large home, decent insurance and two cars.


There's no way they're offering 24/7 KVM for this. Cheap colos you need to write / call to get an on demand KVM then wait some hours or days for a tech to plug it in.

The operator is in no way responsible for shipping damage, not sure why you imply they would be.


Laptop batteries are lithium ion not lithium polymer.

Sometimes, but usually polymer these days. e.g the most popular laptop is probably a macbook https://www.apple.com/uk/macbook-pro/specs/ https://www.apple.com/uk/macbook-air/specs/

Does this mean the Atom 8GB boxes I have laying about are now more valuable?


> It lets you define deploy scripts and other remote tasks

Ok.

> run them from your terminal and watch every step as it happens

> and watch every step as it happens

Yes, this is usually how scripts work.

> When everything finishes, you get a summary table with timing for each step.

> If a task fails, its output is shown and execution stops right there so you can investigate.

Yes, I write my larger scripts to do such things...

> Writing plain bash instead of Blade

Yes, probably a good idea.

Call me crazy (you're crazy!) but I'm not seeing the point.


It also (criminally for an SSH tool) appears for now to only work when the server uses the SSH default port 22:

Literally would be one of the first things I would have tested personally!


This is where I stopped reading:

> Scotty was built with the help of AI

So it sounds like my heuristic worked. =)


We need a term like potempkin-ware or something to express "I just built a 3 week project in 3 hours and, although it looks nice, there's probably a ton of problems with it because I couldn't possibly review everything Claude puked out properly, use at your own risk".


If you don't use any AI assistance when coding I suspect you're already in the minority.

If you refuse to use software that was built with any AI assistance, well... good luck finding an operating system to run.


If they can afford stupid "smart" glasses they can afford dumb glasses.

> There needs to be an industry wide agreement on a standard where something like a bluetooth beacon can shut off recording.

Yes, this is a great idea. Hardware hackers can then quickly clone these beacons and spam $5 glass hole blockers everywhere.


That's a no from me.
