That thing is about 70 meters long and weights 300 tons and some.

My family’s always sliced the pineapple into disks then cut those into 4ths. You end up with a small part of core per piece.

This is the way. And depending on how hard the core happens to be, you can slice the pineapple into thinner discs or cut them into smaller pieces to make it easier to eat.

From Remedy’s business review JANUARY–MARCH 2024

Codename Condor, a part of the Control franchise, moved to full production meaning it has reached the final development stage before a game is launched. Based on wide internal playtests, we can see that the core loop is engaging, and the game brings a unique Remedy angle to the genre.

Control 2 team has focused on finalizing the proof-of-concept stage, in which the game world, game mechanics and visual targets are proven. We expect the project to advance to the production readiness stage during the second quarter of 2024.

Max Payne 1&2 remake continued in the production readiness stage. The game is expected to move into full production during the second quarter of 2024.

Codename Kestrel continued in the concept stage. The team works to refine the game concept.

He’s the savior of our planet!

Hopefully! It can’t come soon enough… unless they rush it, I suppose. But that’s usually not Remedy’s style.

There’s a new similar phishing attack thanks to Google and their .zip domain. Web browsers support a feature that lets you use addresses of the form protocol://username:password@domain.tld. That feature allows you to log in to domain.tld with the given credentials. When you combine that with Unicode forward slashes, you can craft addresses that look like https://microsoft.com/files/@windowsupdate.zip, where the part between https:// and @ is a username and the part after @ is the actual address most likely used for malicious intends. My example uses normal slashes, so will lead to Microsoft’s website and page not found error. windowsupdate.zip is a domain someone has registered, but leads to no-where as of today. PSA: Don’t go to random web addresses you find on the Internet or elsewhere.

I once heard this story about a company, that had a server room. The room was locked so no-one could get in without permission, which is a good practice. At some point, they started to wonder why one of their servers becomes unreachable every Friday at X o’clock. Eventually, they figured out that their new cleaner entered the server room every Friday and unplugged one of the power cables to plug the vacuum cleaner in to the outlet.

Human eyes have three kinds of cells (photoreceptors) for color detection. They each react to either red, green or blue light. If more than one of those cells are activated, your brain interprets the light based on what cells activated, and how strongly they activated. If red and green cells activates, the light is seen as yellow. The light is seen as white if all of them activates fully.

This also means that light bulbs can produce white light by simply producing three wavelengths (colors) of light. The problem with that kind of “fake” white is that colors will look wrong under such light due to the way how objects reflects light. This is very common with low quality LED lights, and even the best smart lights aren’t very good at it. When buying LED lights, you might want to look at the CRI (Color Rendering Index) value and make sure it’s above 90, or as high as possible.

Kagi has a free trial, 100 searches for free, so you can try it out and see if you like it or not.

I think it would be enough if other search providers would be required to give a portion of their profit from each search to Google.

From the article:

The data breach started with hackers accessing only around 14,000 user accounts. The hackers broke into this first set of victims by brute-forcing accounts with passwords that were known to be associated with the targeted customers, a technique known as credential stuffing.

From these 14,000 initial victims, however, the hackers were able to then access the personal data of the other 6.9 million million victims because they had opted-in to 23andMe’s DNA Relatives feature. This optional feature allows customers to automatically share some of their data with people who are considered their relatives on the platform.

Maybe you should treat your wife with better quality matcha

I want to start drinking tea more instead of coffee

Not sure if you are aware of it, but matcha has pretty high caffeine content. It’s less than in coffee, but more than in other types of tea. One gram of matcha powder contains approximately 20-45mg of caffeine. So, if you prepare a cup of matcha using 2 grams of matcha powder, you could get up to 90 mg of caffeine. Tea leaves being naturally grown things, it’s impossible to know how much caffeine is in each tea leaf.

In case you want to reduce your caffeine intake even more, you might want to try other Japanese green teas. As you like matcha, your taste buds might agree with other Japanese green teas as well.

Also I have a cold brew coffee maker, could I put the powder in the filter as I submerge it? How long would it last in the fridge (assuming I can)?

One tea brewing method you might want to look into is grandpa style tea brewing. To grandpa style brew tea, you simply put some tea leaves into some kind of container, such as mug or water bottle, and add some water. As you drink the tea throughout the day, you just add more water over the leaves as needed, basically keeping the leaves submerged in water the whole day. Some teas are better suited for grandpa style brewing than others. Japanese tea leaves are usually broken leaves, and broken leaves quickly turns the tea liquor bitter/astringent and as such might not be suited for grandpa style brewing.

There are couple tea communities that might be helpful in your tea journey:

• !tea@possumpat.io
• !tea@lemmy.zip

You probably have been drinking matcha lattes, which contains milk. Normal matcha is just water.

Does this joke never end?

Just buy bananas that are of the ripeness you like and put them in the fridge. They’ll easily last a week or two and tastes better too (my opinion). Don’t worry if the shell turns brown, the insides are still good. Place them in some kind of container (plastic bag will do) when you store them in fridge and they’ll probably last a month if not more (I wouldn’t know, I always eat them sooner).

When storing in fridge, the low temperature slows down ripening but oxygen causes the shell to turn brown. When the shell is brown enough it will start to ruin the insides. The plastic bag, or other airtight or near airtight container, reduces the amount of oxygen that gets to the bananas. When there’s less oxygen to turn the shell brown the bananas will last who knows how long. In room temperature the shell and the insides will ripen about at the same rate, and usually pretty fast.
