And the worst breakfast sandwich carb is the doughnut.
I haven’t seen anyone do this nonsense, but we have doughnut burgers which prove humanity cannot be trusted.
A doughnut is covered in sticky glaze, is greasy, and has a hole like a bagel.
Stop ruining good pastries to make bad sandwiches.
Croissants are delicious as is. Cutting them open and stuffing like this is a crime.
Doing this gets you a leaky crumb bomb. The sausage is going to be overly greasy for the rich pastry.
Don’t.
Just eat a sausage roll or a croissant with a ham slice rolled into it before baking.
Plain old bread, or really toast, because we aren’t barbarians is solid mid tier. It’s flexible and crunchy. You have a ton of options in this category, too. Rye, wheat, white, etc.
But stuff leaks from the corners because it doesn’t fit the hand well; yes, even when cut into triangles.
Bagels and biscuits tie for portability.
Bagels have a pesky hole that makes them leak. They are also hard enough that softer items get squished out when you bite them.
Biscuits are a bit crumbly and are likelier to come apart.
However both are round and compact, making them very portable.
If you standardize on sausage, egg, and cheese as your sandwich ingredients, then we can talk.
A nice big flour tortilla wins for portability.
English muffins come in first for portability among the two pieces of carb with stuff inside crowd. They’re flexible and have crannies to soak up grease.
I can’t endorse a single sandwich container. It really depends what you’re making.
Sausage gravy isn’t as good over plain toast or an English muffin. Biscuit wins hands down. Biscuits and gravy is an open faced sandwich.
So maybe narrow things down a bit.
A new kind of tankie for the Blooski.
Ignoring the ethics and effectiveness of assassination as a tool of statecraft, it does seem obvious that making ANY particular type of attack on your adversary routine, will diminish its impact.
Your adversary will assume that you’re going to keep doing that thing you keep doing & make plans.
It’s not like suddenly being bombed by “freedom loving countries” wasn’t an obvious risk that would need continuity planning for.
Not to mention that targeted assassination is a fact that this government has lived with for years.

Pretty sure there are 3 people here who watched the 2010 reboot. They’ll get it too.
What’s annoying is that this is shit advice. It’s just asking for them to say “yes” without thinking.
If you wanted an effective version of this advice it would be to ask “what do you mean by that?” Apply some Socratic method.
Don’t just ask escalatory yes/no questions.
SMBC 4-panel comic update. A man is walking down the alley of a store with a baby in a sling placed over his chest. The man is thinking "I love the way the world treats you when you have a baby." He continues in the next panel "a single guy alone isn't a welcome presence most places. Somehow, you're both ignored and distrusted." He looks happy in the third panel, and the background color brightens, as he thinks to himself "put a baby in his hands and everyone wants to know what's up with that guy!" In the final panel, the man is being arrested for kidnapping as he yells, smiling, "I matter!"
The baby also goes to jail and has the cutest little orange jumpsuit.

Note that the soggy grease sponge McMennamin’s fries are delicious and immediately lovable to a Seattlite who loves Dick’s fries.
Also gotta add that the ketchup served at McMennamin’s is hippy-ass Portland Ketchup. Which is great and a bottle lives in my fridge next to the Heinz.
The Seattle in me says tarter sauce.
The Portland in me says about a gallon of grease so they’re soggy like McMennamin’s fries and a mixture of ketchup and mustard.
The Northern European in me says a nice cream sauce with dill would be brilliant. Maybe add some smoked fish; kippers or Riga sprats.
I bet Blooski rhymes with how he pronounces “russki”.
$145 shoes? I have to buy very large very wide shoes that are hard to find, but most shoes cost me that much or more.
The man is, ostensibly a billionaire. If he wants to impress with a gift, he’d buy them $1000 shoes.
This is a loyalty test. They’re right to be afraid to take them off.
Yes rural communities generally take in more money in government aid than they pay in taxes.
But the cities aren’t feeding themselves or producing the feedstocks needed to keep industry running.
We need each other, so we need to stop shitting on each other.
Historically speaking, progressive politics grew out of the grange movement. Rural miners formed the heart of organized labor. Look into the Coal Wars sometime.
A working people’s coalition is what is needed and you can’t have that without rural workers.
The urban/rural divide is another divide and conquer tactic.
They’ve been fed fear and told that they are better and purer than urban folks. For generations.
Our media has also shown them how urban people look down on them, whether it’s Deliverance or The Beverly Hillbillies. For generations.
Rural people live with generational poverty, brain drain as the most educated leave to find better options elsewhere, they have underfunded schools and poor services. Much like the urban poor.
Instead of telling them they’re dumb rubes, we should be telling them we see them and want solidarity.
But if we didn’t rely on copyright to support artists, then there would be no need for video rentals.
Anyone could have copies of whatever they wanted for the price of media (in those days).
On that basis, bullshit.
Maybe it’s ducktape? Depends if you think copyright is a problem or a solution.
Another great episode.
@michaelhobbes.bsky.social your video rental job was both bullshit and not bullshit.
Helping people access inexpensive entertainment improves their quality of life. Not bullshit.

I said this a while ago but it bears repeating:
The U.S. right is fully captured by a) christian fascist accelerationists seeking to start the Biblical Apocalypse, & b) those actively manipulating (a) for profit.
Everything they claim to care about will last only so long as it serves (a) or (b).
How much effort would this really save vs writing the damn paper yourself?
In my estimation, not much.
Note that I am not an academic and don’t write these kinds of document, even if I do read them on occasion.
Then I’d ask the BS-bot to write and check each section separately. Probably focusing on the introduction and conclusions first. Once those are correct it would reinforce the rest of the paper.
Then repeat that iteratively across the outline.
Finally, repeat the pass, adding actual body text.
If I wanted to have success writing a paper with an LLM, I would try: writing a detailed glossary of terms, a style guide, an outline, and prepare a list of citations that describes why the citation is relevant.
And then vibe code a citation checker that validates only listed cites are used.
OTOH, when automatic validation is available and the specification is reasonably clear, the systems can spew out heaps of code changes in record time.
Which needs to be reviewed for conceptual clarity and consistency.
This is the best case scenario for these tools.
I spent hours yesterday trying to track down whether a variable name was accurately representing the concept it represents.
It took actual understanding and lots of human interaction to work out this detail.
LLMs are nearly useless for this kind of thing.
This idea misses the fact that in the case of SW, it is the tight verification loop that makes this success possible.
Can you do the same for academic papers in the same way? Not really. You can burn another pile of “AI” tokens and hope. But there is no deterministic failure detection.
