Meatloaf (that got me blocked for hacking)
(I don’t know if this site is still on the blocklists of “inappropriate” content or whatever. This is the meatloaf recipe that I haven’t been able to share to some people for quite a while. Possibly it got mixed up with another page that had “hackers” or “hacking” in the name?)
1 small onion or 1/2 large onion
2 cloves garlic (or more, it’s full of antioxidants)
3-4 pieces wheat bread (stale is fine)
1 lb. ground beef
1/2 tsp. sea salt
1 egg
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Chop the onion and fry in a little oil until transparent.
While the onion is cooking, break the egg into a bowl. Then pulverize the bread in the food processor and add to the bowl with the egg. Pulverize the cooked onion and the garlic, and add to the bowl. Mix in the remaining ingredients, form into a loaf, and bake.
You can put barbecue sauce on it if you want.
(This is a very simplified and scaled down recipe, based on the one in Julia Child's The Way to Cook but with fewer ingredients.)

is right about feudalism and that’s why reddit as we know it is
doomed by Maya. So in this post, I want to talk a bit about how
the relevant historical phenomena worked, a bit about why feudalism
tends to be a pretty bad comparison to internet stuff, and a bit about
why Reddit CEO Steve Huffman is – still! – maybe more correct than he
knows when he compares moderators to landed gentry… in a way that
suggests the end coming for Reddit as-we-know-it.

Under the Hood: Prompt tuning Shake to Summarize for recipes (There’s already a Recipe AI Summary Notice for Firefox WordPress plugin to warn people about this. Problem is you could easily shake your device on the way to the kitchen to fix the recipe—and then end up making an AI slop “summary” recipe instead and blaming the original site.)
