windows 10 is garbage so every time i boot up the computer i have to run command prompt and enter

net.exe stop “Windows Search”

so that the shitty goddamned search/cortana feature that i never fucking use stops running in the background taking up all my fucking disk space

what the fuck is that seriously what the fuck is making my computer be a fucking piece of shit

y’all didn’t even add a tutorial of how to do this so imma put one right here 1. type in cmd.exe into your windows search and right click on Command Promt search result and select “Run as Administator”. 2. Type/Copypase in  net.exe stop “Windows Search” and make sure Windows Search is in quotations. It should then respond saying “The Windows Search service is stopping” and then tell you it’s stopped. This is only a temp fix though, if you want it switched off permanently then do THIS: 1.  Press the Windows key + R at the same time and type in services.msc. 2.  Scroll until you find Windows Search and double click it to enter its Properties window. 3.  Change the Startup type to Disabled. Apply this change and you can exit out. VOILA, NO MORE TAKEN UP DISK SPACE

“Scientists at UC Riverside have demonstrated a new, RNA-based vaccine strategy that is effective against any strain of a virus and can be used safely even by babies or the immunocompromised. Their flu vaccine will also likely be delivered in the form of a spray, as many people have an aversion to needles. “Respiratory infections move through the nose, so a spray might be an easier delivery system,” Hai said. Additionally, the researchers say there is little chance of a virus mutating to avoid this vaccination strategy. “Viruses may mutate in regions not targeted by traditional vaccines. However, we are targeting their whole genome with thousands of small RNAs. They cannot escape this,” Hai said. Ultimately, the researchers believe they can ‘cut and paste’ this strategy to make a one-and-done vaccine for any number of viruses. “There are several well-known human pathogens; dengue, SARS, COVID. They all have similar viral functions,” Ding said. “This should be applicable to these viruses in an easy transfer of knowledge.””

This is HUGE. This will fundamentally change how we get inoculated.

Galaxy Quest (1999) ()

This is one of those moments that all great comedies have where it stops being funny for just a while and you have to take it absolutely, deadly seriously.

It’s heartbreaking, but I don’t think it’s dead serious. On some level, there’s still something camp and ridiculous about it (that line is inherently silly, regardless of context), and it’s the combination of silly and serious that makes it so poignant. We’re not doing something different than before, we’re just looking at the same thing from a different angle: “what if that objectively silly and camp thing made someone happy, and gave them peace in their last moments?” And that’s what makes it moving and powerful. That’s the whole point of the movie, and that’s why Galaxy Quest is the best Star Trek movie ever.

Whereas, in The Princess Bride for example, there’s NOTHING funny in the line “I want my father back, you son of a bitch.” It’s unambiguously raw. We shifted gears completely, we’re doing another thing altogether. We’re not repeating the funny line any more, and the funny line (“My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.”) was not funny inherently, only in the delivery (calm, gentle, with a smile) and the repetition throughout the movie. When you stopped saying it gently to the void and started saying it angrily to the actual killer, it stopped being funny. Shit got real.

Two different ways to accomplish the same thing, both wonderful.

The most delicious non-vegetable ever slandered by children's cartoons

Deeply disappointed that the lead result is just assuming it'll be gross without actually finding out first 😔 you have been tainted by decades of "hold the anchovies!" as a boomer meme.

Notice that of those who have tried it, over twice as many found it tolerable to great!

When baked into a pizza they partially dissolve, infusing the sauce and dough with rich umami. The half melted remnants of the tiny filet are a burst of salt that can be intense, but quickly balanced out by the cheese and crust, and then whatever you chose as a beverage becomes twice as sweet and refreshing anyway.

What they absolutely do NOT do is make a pizza taste like seafood. Unless you're extra sensitive to it, the "fishiness" of brined then cooked anchovy should be too subtle to notice most of the time, if they're made correctly. I like one little anchovy per slice, which is how most places do it anyway.

Olives, on the other hand, I just cannot get used to. Can't believe these poor little beautiful anchovies have to share a perfectly good pizza with those weird rubbery blobs of bitter funk! 😞 Guess some people are just weird!

I've never had anchovies on pizza, but I tried a recipe once that was like scalloped potatoes but also there's a tin of anchovies in there, and it was really good.

It's in one of the cookbooks written by the poet Ronald Johnson, and I only made it because everything else I'd made from his books was incredibly good. (I learned to make soup from his books, and his snickerdoodle recipe is the one I make every Christmas, and the lemon-rhubarb cake from last spring, that was one of his, and I'm sure some other things I'm forgetting.)

I should buy some anchovies and make it again.

Anchovies are so fucking good on pizza.
