Man, what a mess. This site was doomed to fail
Even after Automattic acquired it, the site continued to lose money at a rate of $30 million each year, the company’s CEO Matt Mullenweg had said.
I still wanna know what they're spending all that money on, because I'm sure it's not developers or even servers. The idea that they can only be profitable if they're constantly growing their user numbers is an investor idea that's doomed to fail eventually and why so many social media sites are crashing right now
Served with a side of parmesan asparagus and the last of our summer limoncello
The recipe itself I believe originally came from Jacques Pépin, but it's easy enough that I can just wing it with the ingredients nowadays
Red pepper, onion and fresh herbs round it out. Delicious way to make a pound of shrimp last for several meals

This was very much a "to taste" recipe since I didn't really measure anything out exactly, but it included:
With how unspecific it was it came out fantastic. I'm actually kicking my past self for not trying it sooner it's so good. Will probably pull this out again for the 4th
Used this recipe for the panna cotta (though I did fudge the numbers on the gelatin and just used the whole packet since there wasn't really enough to save) and this recipe for the raspberry sauce. She uses sour cream in her recipe which I've never heard of, I might try it next time but for right now I just wanted the basic recipe. This was delicious as expected from anything made of heavy cream and smothered in raspberries
Turns out I had a mulberry tree growing near my apartment the whole time. While it would have been nice to have a few more mulberries for the filling, it still came out good with this recipe:
Served with some sparkling rosé. My local store had tails on sale and I had not had them in a while. Never want to go that long again without having them because boy is lobster really good.
This was just a simple recipe of melted butter with garlic, dill, paprika, old bay, salt and pepper brushed over it before and after following this recipe since they also had a video on how to cut the lobster. Though I ended up using my fingers for most of it.
The salad was another easy recipe and we ended up mixing some of the extra goat cheese and lobster drippings together for a delicious cracker topping.
TL;DR: right-wing hand-wringing over the app "turning the kids trans and lowering their IQ"
The author also has articles defending Israel and complaining about "woke ideology" if you need any more reason to skip it
That's to be expected. What remains to be seen is how many of them will stick around after the initial surge.
You think a corporation would do that? Just go in front of the FTC and lie?
Got some herb meunster bread from the local bakery and dressed it up a bit. Served with a peach mimosa for the perfect brunch for dinner vibe
If this dude "loved every minute of the 80+ hour work weeks of the early 2000's", feels like I can safely ignore anything he has to say about work
More issues caused by features no one asked for but done anyways so investors can see "growth"
Feels very much like they're just following the trend of a bunch of streaming services that just add a + to the end. As long as it's good though I don't think it matters much
IBM researchers said a ChatGPT-generated phishing email was almost as effective in fooling people compared to a man-made version.
So it's less effective than a regular phishing email?
The older I get the more I realize just how much Bill Watterson was right about everything
What I want to know about these "unprofitable" tech companies is where all the money is going? Wikipedia, which is run entirely on donations, has an operating budget of ~$150 million. Reddit, Twitter, etc... make many times this amount and even with the greater number of employees and salaries it still sounds like some creative Hollywood accounting that they're unprofitable. It feels like a big chunk of money is just going to investors/C-classes so they can just say they're not actually making any money while the big players get their payday.
