Yus - the traditional cake in Latin America and the Balkans is a descendant of things like trifle or bread pudding usually called tres leches or trileçe ("three milk") and uses condensed milk, evaporated milk, and whole milk. I think seis leches is a joking extension of that.

It's actually a month newer (Twitter link warning) than the quote pictured.

This is from the excellent Dan Sheehan:

Yeah, although sweet-and-sour sauce in the US typically has E129 (Red Dye No 40) rather than E127 (Red Dye No 3), which the FDA are banning. There is a whole bunch of anecdotal correlation drawn between E129 and behavior, though, so it wouldn't be a huge surprise to see it reviewed in the future.

I had same the problem - it took took me three attempts to tries reverse determine of the and then.

How does the TV behave? Does it complain about not being able to update or connect, take a long time to do things, display default factory promoted content, or otherwise act hostile to you as the user?

My TV is ten years old and "smart" only in the dumbest sense. How well do modern smart TVs operate when airgapped and only using an external device for files and streaming services? Is it still painful?

I realize the question is quite general!

This reminds me that I still haven't watched God on Trial, a 2008 film about Jews in a Nazi death camp discussing whether a just god would let it happen. Saw a clip from it a while ago, and the dialogue was impeccable.

Please don't out your grandma to your friends if she doesn't want you to.

Love it! Flashbacks to Enemy (2013) and the Gonarch from Half-Life.

I did a lazy ginger beer over Christmas, but I wanted it vegan and it didn't clear in time through an extended cold crash. I put it in a plastic keg with CO2 shortly after Christmas, but I was worried about the haziness so I didn't share it for New Years either.

I used quite a lot of sugar and it fermented dry, but I didn't bother checking the OG, so I have no idea how strong it is (though I'd guess it's 6% or so).

End result: while most people I know are attempting Dry January, I'm drinking a lot of ginger beer.

That's fair, although I don't feel it's changed much for iPhone, past the first few models where the hardware improvements were most dramatic. 2011's iPhone 4S had five years of major updates supported. The 5S (2013) had six. The iPhone X (2017) is probably on its last major version at seven years. That's a slow improvement, which still deserves recognition I suppose.

The Crabtree effect is where Saccharomyces and Brettanomyces yeasts digest carbohydrates both anaerobically – producing ethanol, an antiseptic – and aerobically. Most yeasts in the presence of both sugar and oxygen prefer to only convert these to carbon dioxide and water, which is considerably more efficient but doesn't deter competitors for that sweet, sweet sugar.

Who knew botflies could be cute?

Description: an adult deer botfly (Cephenemyia stimulator) on a rock. Its body is covered with fur-like cetae, yellow and black, resembling a bumblebee a little. Its eyes are large and black.

 
 

Thanks for playing along with our April Fool's Day prank. We are, in fact, not pivoting to the Starfield engine.

We are, however, back on the very latest version of the Skyrim engine, thanks to some gruelling work by our Coding team, and of the Creation Kit, thanks in part to the CKPE team 💌

Now back to your regularly scheduled project updates. There's also more of the Concept-to-Asset video series on the horizon, and a bigger progress video is being worked on as we speak. Onwards and upwards! 🚀

After years of pouring love and dedication to recreating Morrowind in Skyrim's engine, we're reaching for the moon: we're shifting to Starfield's engine.

Say hello to Starwind! 🚀

  • Why walk when you can fly? Rocket boosted guars!
  • That's no moon(s)! Assemble your own interstellar silt strider.
  • The space race, now with 100% more cliff racers

Tamriel's vibrant and variant landscapes have been our home for years, a realm where our passion could roam as free as the nix hounds of Vvardenfell. ⁤⁤But as we looked up at the stars above, we saw the potential for magic far beyond what Skyrim's engine could offer. ⁤⁤Starfield's cutting-edge tech and vast cosmic canvas present us with the opportunity to reimagine Morrowind like never before.

We're grateful for your support, and we look forward to continuing on this journey with you, to the cosmos and beyond.

The Starwind Team ✨
