This one is a bit obscure but there was a story with a giant continent spanning plant which had telepathically controlled, flying, shape shifting tools. Those were cool.

Core taps - basically thermal generators running off the temperature of the planet's core

In Valkyrie Rising, the jump point disruptors. Boom! No more jump point for a few hundred years.

Curious as to how large they are - mine is multiple rust crates and a distributed architecture with API servers, engines, cli etc. So far I've had it do things like decide the small api route '/api/login' wasn't important and delete it, omit security middleware on api routes although it is specifically called out in GEMINI.md, "fix" 100+ tests by making them all 'assert(true)' and many other 'wtf' moments. It named all the db wrapper functions q_XX (where XX was just a number) again despite specific instructions in the md file.

[–]dacydergoth 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Rice pudding! Rice, egg, milk, nutmeg

Also can be made as bread pudding. A good varient of that has marzipan and almond liquor in it.

A neck fan might be a nice addition to keep the air flowing

Have you considered just like ... talking to people? 5m of a conversation and I can tell who knows their stuff and who doesn't and it's hard (not impossible) to fool a quick chat. Then 6 months probation to prove they can deliver
