food experiment, chocolate 

Been experimenting with making keto chocolate cake. Base recipe is one egg and two tablespoons each of splenda and sugar-free 100% cocoa powder. All ingredients are whisked together, then put into a coffee mug that has been sprayed with pam, then microwaved for one minute.

First cake I tried making yesterday came out okay, but a little dry. Today I tried making a second cake, which added in half a teaspoon of olive oil. The result was that it came out much more moist than the first one :3

TIL that you should never ever sign an Employment Bond.

It's basically a predatory contract where you must agree to continue working for an employer for a period of time, and you have to pay a monetary penalty to the employer if you leave.

And they're apparently used by some workplaces as a way of dealing with retention problems, as opposed to actually fixing the problems that are causing their employees to resign.

Gotta love it when you update a mod in Skyrim and are forced to start a new save because it messed up serialization with SKSE mods, trashing the save file.

Crypto/NFT alert: 1Password

news, Texas, anti-trans (~) 

an important note: the Texas governor's directive is not strictly legally binding and is itself based on a non-binding opinion, not a ruling. policies have not changed. district & county attorneys from two of TX's largest counties have publicly stated they will not be acting on the "new interpretation of the law".

that's not to say this development isn't dire and nightmarish—it is—but there is room to fight. there is room for pressure.
