(trilema) nubbins`: some of the minigames in wii u party or w/e the bundled game is called are pretty cool
(trilema) nubbins`: 5-player games
(trilema) nubbins`: great if you have a wii and your buddy has a u, tho
(trilema) nubbins`: heh, nope
(trilema) nubbins`: altho i agree it's pretty stingy
(trilema) nubbins`: and everyone with a u has an original wii ;D
(trilema) nubbins`: that's because they give you a $250 controller with your u
(trilema) nubbins`: you can probably just get gyro arduino shields for cheaper than a wiimote now anyway
(trilema) nubbins`: anyway, there are tons of videos of people using wiimotes and nunchuks to control robots
(trilema) nubbins`: but that's what it seemed like in my head
(trilema) nubbins`: i am kind of just making this up
(trilema) nubbins`: ah, hm
(trilema) nubbins`: nintendo brought the economy of scale
(trilema) nubbins`: 3-axis gyros were around too
(trilema) nubbins`: yeah, mass production is key
(trilema) nubbins`: and it's more than enough to keep a quadcopter in the air
(trilema) nubbins`: seriously, a motionplus and an arduino sets you back maybe $50-60
(trilema) nubbins`: *wiimote
(trilema) nubbins`: but wiimore is an OTS solution
(trilema) nubbins`: ah, maybe
(trilema) nubbins`: nod
(trilema) nubbins`: and communicates via serial
(trilema) nubbins`: consider that a wii motion plus attachment fits in a child's hand, costs $25, and can track acceleration and movement along 3 axes
(trilema) nubbins`: you can thank nintendo for cheap gyro sensors
(trilema) nubbins`: re: drone copters
(trilema) nubbins`: i'd get food delivered by drone, no sweat

(trilema) nubbins`: nah they use the side-bake things here
(trilema) nubbins`: but they don't call em gyros

(trilema) nubbins`: making butter, etc
(trilema) nubbins`: hah
(trilema) nubbins`: using a broiler pan is VERY IMPORTANT
(trilema) nubbins`: thyme fans can feel free to add 1tsp of that as well
(trilema) nubbins`: ^ best recipe
(trilema) nubbins`: heh!
(trilema) nubbins`: at least try a small batch of the sauce, it's worth the risk
(trilema) nubbins`: some recipes call for triple-ground, this is not necessary
(trilema) nubbins`: sauce is whisked, i don't like sticky hands
(trilema) nubbins`: that's how you tell when you've added enough vinegar
(trilema) nubbins`: ideally you can take a bowl of the sauce and hold it upside down without losing any
(trilema) nubbins`: heh
(trilema) nubbins`: too garlicky for desserts
(trilema) nubbins`: so thick, so sweet
(trilema) nubbins`: just garlic, milk, sugar, salt, vinegar
(trilema) nubbins`: the sauce is divine
(trilema) nubbins`: truffles: fuck mallets, i tenderize with my fists

(trilema) nubbins`: nothing like a halifax-style donair
(trilema) nubbins`: they're great
(trilema) nubbins`: donairs or moose?
(trilema) nubbins`: maybe make moose donairs
(trilema) nubbins`: considering grinding it
(trilema) nubbins`: i've got a huge piece of moose in my freezer
(trilema) nubbins`: is there at least thick-cut pork belly?
(trilema) nubbins`: davout, too true
(trilema) nubbins`: ooh
(trilema) nubbins`: like a t-bone steak isn't generally available as a cut of meat in some places
(trilema) nubbins`: different cultures chop their animals different ways
(trilema) nubbins`: well, maybe the cuts of meat that are popular there just don't allow for bacon
(trilema) nubbins`: freshly cut off the hog
(trilema) nubbins`: there's a butcher by my house that sells bacon by the slice
(trilema) nubbins`: you could probably request it from a butcher
(trilema) nubbins`: pigs have the same parts over there, afaik ;)
(trilema) nubbins`: davout, too true
(trilema) nubbins`: lactose intolerance is much more common in asia
(trilema) nubbins`: canadian population is what, 10% of american

(trilema) nubbins`: yeah, market size, i guess
(trilema) nubbins`: it's basically texture slices
(trilema) nubbins`: yeah, you'd have to age it for years to give it the flavor of cheddar
(trilema) nubbins`: heh
(trilema) nubbins`: eastern canada
(trilema) nubbins`: only restaurants
(trilema) nubbins`: but it's just not available in groc stores here
(trilema) nubbins`: davout: i mean like the classic american burger cheese. not sure if it's processed cheddar or w/e
(trilema) nubbins`: jurov, like it comes out the same when you're done eating it?
(trilema) nubbins`: figured that'd draw comment
(trilema) nubbins`: heh
(trilema) nubbins`: Duffer1: cheese whiz on rice is actually really good.
(trilema) nubbins`: you can get em in big jars of brine
(trilema) nubbins`: very flavorful
(trilema) nubbins`: banana peppers are great
(trilema) nubbins`: so basically if you want american cheese you gotta go eat fast/restaurant food :(
(trilema) nubbins`: you can buy foot-long slices at restaurant supply stores, that's it
(trilema) nubbins`: but you can't buy it in stores here
(trilema) nubbins`: american cheese is fucking great
(trilema) nubbins`: banana peppers too
(trilema) nubbins`: cheddar/mozza blend

(trilema) nubbins`: anyway, i'm just playing semantics
(trilema) nubbins`: no TRUE canadian ;)
(trilema) nubbins`: i still see no evidence of canadians owning slaves
(trilema) nubbins`: sounds like a bunch of euros moved to canada and bought 2nd hand slaves from the yanquis
(trilema) nubbins`: was supposed to meet p for lunch in a half hour D:
(trilema) nubbins`: fuck, i accidentally just ate lunch
(trilema) nubbins`: you might be surprised

(trilema) nubbins`: nod, it's what you stare at all day
(trilema) nubbins`: nod
(trilema) nubbins`: and marblework is classy
(trilema) nubbins`: really like the idea of a grapes/vines one tho
(trilema) nubbins`: altho that might just be me projecting
(trilema) nubbins`: wondering if it's worth exploring faces that work stylistically with the heraldry trims, i.e. bone face, storm face, spider/tentacle face, etc
(trilema) nubbins`: nod
(trilema) nubbins`: d1 hud could lose like half its height in the center and still be ok
(trilema) nubbins`: nod
(trilema) nubbins`: yeah
(trilema) nubbins`: so say roughly 20-25% of vertical
(trilema) nubbins`: ah, sure, ok. that leaves a lot more room to work with
(trilema) nubbins`: heh, i started re-reading everything D:
(trilema) nubbins`: assuming 100% width on bottom, got a max % of height in mind?
(trilema) nubbins`: hm, interesting
(trilema) nubbins`: ah yeah, i remember the general look of it
(trilema) nubbins`: hud sounds interesting, what's involved?
(trilema) nubbins`: mircea_popescu: so what sort of art assets fall under the "desperately need" umbrella for S.MG?

(trilema) nubbins`: you know, it would be funny if this mintchip thing became ubiquitous in canada before bitcoin did
(trilema) nubbins`: like the royal tenenbaums

(trilema) nubbins`: that's what i started wondering

(trilema) nubbins`: jurov, this is common among all forms of leadership
(trilema) nubbins`: and deep canyons
(trilema) nubbins`: people will just drive the car off the cliff rather than let someone else take over the wheel -- or even suggest which direction to turn!
(trilema) nubbins`: combine that with the fact that for some reason, admitting you were wrong is a death blow in politics
(trilema) nubbins`: it certainly incentivizes people to pretend they know what they're doing, even when they fully do not
