This is pretty close to my own recipe, with the only major differences being I use parm + romano, no mozzarella, and a pinch of fresh nutmeg.

If I am making it with the intention to reheat, I also add sodium citrate as an emulsifier, though it changes the texture (it makes sauces silky and velvety - and is the secret ingredient for perfect mac & cheese).

Reply to Nvidia has created a text-to-3D generative-AI that will allow people to make high-resolution 3D models from just text prompts. by lughnasadh

I’d love to get my hands on this. It would really help with solo-developer indy game workflows. I need a sizable collection of bespoke props for my game, but I’m not made of money and there aren’t enough hours in the day to develop the talent and skills to model everything on my own.

Cleaning up a rough model or scan for Unreal or a 3D print is a lot easier than modeling and texturing something from scratch.

They posted one link to a biased right-wing propaganda site that, itself, demonstrates how Snopes acts in good faith based on all currently available data. Said article attempts to spin that as a bad thing.

The thing is, Snopes shows their work. If you think their result is fishy, incomplete, inaccurate etc you can follow all their citations and reasonings.

I’d argue: it’s safe to say that Snopes acts in good faith, which is distinctly different than calling them a “source of truth”. They aggregate and digest available factual sources, and are not afraid to update their assessments when available facts change. It’s a very different thing than being a “source of truth” themselves; it’s more scientific than that.

> The list of stories they have ’fact checked’ siding with govt (particularly over war crime accusations in the middle east and defending pharmaceutical conglomerates committing criminal activity) only to be exposed as correct after all a few short years down the line makes it completely unsuitable for blindly using it as an omniscient source of objective fact for a study

I haven’t heard these claims before. Do you have suggested reading on this topic?
