  • Adding to the fun - The light is still going the same speed within the medium, but it’s bumping into more things. Those collisions divert the light, lengthening the distance it travels through something like 1 cm of glass vs 1 cm in a vacuum. It changes the time it takes to travel through glass rather than the speed at which the light is moving.

    At least that’s what I remember from a YouTube video.


  • Can you get cumin? If so, you can probably make some pretty good tacos.

    Only the following 6 ingredients are required:

    Tortilla

    Ground meat - I recommend beef

    Onion

    Salt

    Minced Garlic or garlic powder

    Cumin powder

    All other ingredients are optional

    Cooking:

    Chop enough onion to make a pile 1/2 the size of the meat

    Cook the onion over medium heat until it starts to soften

    Add a little garlic

    Add the meat

    Turn up the heat a little

    add a little salt

    Add a lot of cumin - this should be the dominant flavor

    Add a little of any/all optional seasonings for depth of flavor

    When the ground meat is done cooking, add more salt to taste. Be careful not to over salt it.

    warm the tortillas

    Add meat & any/all optional ingredients to the tortillas

    Enjoy!

    Optional Seasonings:

    chili powder optional

    A very little bit of MSG optional

    Black pepper optional

    Onion powder optional recommended

    Optional Ingredients:

    Chopped Cilantro optional

    Chopped Tomato optional recommended

    Sour cream optional recommended

    Salty shredded cheese optional (Cheddar, Colby, Monterey Jack, Muenster, etc)

    Salsa optional (should have tomato chunks and not look like marinara)









  • I have several throughout the house with a couple hooked up to stereo systems. It’s really nice to be able to stream music to all speakers or to specific groups of speakers like “downstairs group”.

    It’s also fantastic for keeping a grocery list. You can then pull it up on the app while shopping or have it text the list to someone else. IMO it’s by far the most useful feature.

    You can also use it to check in on kids at the house if they don’t have a phone. You can use the app on your phone to “drop in” on any Alexa in your house and have basically a phone call or a video call with Alexa Show devices.

    I’m one of the few that loves having these devices. But as soon as Amazon tries to charge a subscription I will be looking into jailbreaking them.






  • To me, that’s the sort of thing people notice.

    She knows enough about strawberries to get them from the store for the picture. She should also know they don’t grow on trees. And there was probably one or more additional people there to handle the photography. Any one of them would know strawberries don’t grow on trees.

    AI on the other hand would easily make that assumption, especially art AI vs text AI.
