The AI bubble may be about to bust.

Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock.

We all need to say this very clearly:

NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH!

Expropriate their asses instead.

They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet.

They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

Today, just briefly, recipes for veal and mutton pies from Staindl's 1547 cookbook. Attractively modern. I'll be talking about pies and tarts at the West Coast Culinary Symposium later tonight.

Photo of a meat pastry still in its metal mould, cooling after baking. This was an experimental setup to try a similar recipe in a hot water crust, and it was quite satisfactory. The above-described pastries would likely have been raised (i.e. self-supporting) and smaller than this, though.

Das 🇩🇪-Ticket wird bald für 14 Mio. Menschen teurer. Doch anstatt Bahntickets, verbilligt die Bundesregierung jetzt ernsthaft für 350 Mio. €/Jahr Flugtickets. Diese Regierung ist sozialpolitisch eine absolute Zumutung & klimapolitisch ein Totalausfall. Wie kann man nur so schiefe Prioritäten haben?

In Zeiten des Klimawandels ist es natürlich besonders wichtig, dass fliegen billiger wird.

350 Millionen Euro kostet der Spaß, bezahlt wird aus dem Verkehrsetat, auf gut deutsch es wird bei der Bahn gestrichen werden.

Diese Regierung ist so fertig.

Why has the EU not rolled out the welcome mat yet? The German government should be offering them plane tickets and free language classes yesterday.

Harald Lesch hat zu 100% recht! "Technologieoffenheit ist häufig ein Ausdruck für technologische Ahnungslosigkeit" und "Die Wärmepumpe ist die beste Maschine, die die Physik anzubieten hat, da gibt es keine Alternative"

Endlich rechnet mal jemand mit diesem Bullshit-Argument der Union ab.

Stalin let the people starve while he feasted.
Mao raped underage girls.
Breshnev clung to power long after his faculties left him.
Castro brutally persecuted gays.

Today, one person can do what took four under Communism. I guess capitalism is more productive.

From Balthasar Staindl's 1547 cookbook, how to put various birds in pastries. It has eggs, lemons, onions, and bacon, what more could you want?

www.culina-vetus.de/2025/11/12/p...

#culinaryhistory #foodhistory #earlymodern #pastries
Frontispiece of the first (1547) edition of Balthasar Staindl's Künstlichs und nutzlichs Kochbuch held at the Bayrische Staatsbibliothek. The image shows a woodcut of a richly equipped and busy kitchen. The master cook is standing to the left of the large masonry hearth, tasting the contents of a large cookpot stood next to the fire while a cauldron is suspended above it. Two men in the background seem to be addressing him. In the right foreground, another man is cutting meat on a work surface set up atop a wooden trough on trestles. Carcasses and a large sausage are shown suspended on the wall in the background. Everything about this image - the size, the range of equipment, the exclusively male staff, the amounts of meat on display - signals wealth. This is the kind of kitchen you would expect to find in the house of a rich burgher or landed nobleman. The motif recurs in many German cookbooks of the fifteenth and sixteenth century.

Take that, SNCF! 🤣

European Sleeper to run Paris-Berlin night train from the spring of next year www.lemonde.fr/economie/art...

There are hurdles - doing it by then isn’t simple - but this can happen.

European Sleeper compte ouvrir les réservations le 16 décembre et démarrer l’exploitation de la ligne entre les capitales française et allemande le 26 mars 2026.

Pippa Durham, 38, was looking forward to a new six-part series billed as a bodice-ripping retelling of the Dissolution of the Monasteries. However, she spotted a 20th-century doorknob in the background of one of the shots and has been livid ever since.

A quick note from a 1547 cookbook to remind us how much food processing happened in the home and how seasonal it was: Smoking pork in March

Photo of the ceiling of a historic smokehouse, today a sales point for a butcher, in Germany. The picture was taken from below, showing rows of hams suspended from the ceiling. In no private home and very few commercial establishments would you have found this amount and uniformity.

Ryan Moulton @moultano Oil is the most Lovecraftian thing that actually exists. You're telling me that there's a black ichor under the earth, made from the ancient dead, whose burning can realize all the dreams of man but only at the price of slowly returning the earth to its primordial state?
