    Ridgebacks have this thing where, when they first meet you, they're usually very aloof. Not scared or shy, they literally seem like they are being huge snobs and looking down their nose at this interloper who dared enter their space.

    But the second time they meet you? OH MY GOD HELLO FRIEND I CANT BELIEVE YOU ARE HERE LETS PLAY

    Verge seems to be down, but Twitter has officially banned third party clients.

    Edit: Back up.
    Twitter has updated its developer rules to ban third-party clients, almost a week after it unceremoniously blocked the apps’ access to its platform, offering almost no explanation to what was going on (via Engadget). The new rules state that you can’t use Twitter’s API or content to “create or attempt to create a substitute or similar service or product to the Twitter Applications.”

    Hey, guess what Twitter! I literally NEVER want to know what porn my casual acquaintances are running around favoriting! Never, not once! It does not make me want to use Twitter more, it makes me want to follow fewer people! I'm not 100% clear on why people are going to Twitter for porn, and the thing is, I don't care! Shouldn't be any of my goddamn business!

    Incredible how much worse this dork is making an already-lousy site

    A restaurant concerned about economies of scale is an institutional canteen

    Moreover I'm really not convinced that the people cooking in a lot of restaurants are necessarily better at it than I am

    Fine dining, sure, but that's not even close to "most restaurants"

    The trick isn't that the food they serve is better than the food you can cook, the trick is that the food they serve is better than the food you can cook in 20-30 minutes while getting all the sides and different mains served at once. The curse of many a would-be restaurant owner is thinking that their ability to make the best food for their family, with unlimited time, can translate to making that food for money with all the budgetary and time restrictions that entails.

    Also, I don't trust myself to move knives quickly near my fingers!

    Yeah, I'm super slow when using a knife because I'm so scared of cutting myself. Always have been, but even moreso now that I'm on anticoagulants. My wife bought me some of those gloves that are supposed to protect your hands from blades but I never think to use them.

    Most things are fine, like a cucumber or something is pretty easy to keep moving and stay stable. For me, the biggest knife fear is onions. I want onions in everything, but even chopped in half first, trying to move quick with them is a recipe for the knife to deflect off the curve, so I just buy prechopped up onions like a coward.

    It's a double-edged sword

    Do not cut your veggies with a sword

    Well now I'm fucking tempted

    There is an option to turn off seeing stuff the people you follow Liked. I know there is an option because I turned it on a long time ago. I only see Tweets and Retweets.

    Could not tell you how it's done.

    True story: my boss at my last job had a huge fight with his wife because she saw him liking tons (like, huuuundreds) of porn star tweets every day. One day he came in looking frantic asking how he can turn that off so his wife can’t see tweets he likes, or if there was some kind of “private mode” he could use.

    CEO of a tech company, folks.

    She said, "You're pretty good with words, but words won't save your life."
    And they didn't.
    So he died.

    And yes, my first suggestion was obviously “how about just not liking every tweet your favorite porn stars put out there?”

    It was not an acceptable solution.

    She said, "You're pretty good with words, but words won't save your life."
    And they didn't.

    Okay I just went and trawled through the settings menu and I genuinely could not even find the option. I think they've removed it.

    "You absolutely WILL know which online person you've never met has a choking fetish, fucking deal with it loser"

    I could turn off all sensitive content, I guess, but so much random shit gets flagged as "potentially sensitive" that I feel like I'd accidentally block the Associated Press or something
