Everyone rushing to over-supply the market was not a lack of demand. Legal weed is probably the largest new market in the last 5 years! Saying the company is underperforming because of a lack of demand when people are buying from other companies is such a hollow excuse.

Oh boy you really need to read up on current events and history if you think Canada is some kind of femenist utopia

The cannabis industry has been hampered by a lack of demand...

What? That I do not believe

So I'm a reasearcher in this field and you're not wrong, there is a load of hype. So the area that's been getting the most attention lately is specifically generative machine learning techniques. The techniques are not exactly new (some date back to the 80s/90s) and they aren't actually that good at learning. By that I mean they need a lot of data and computation time to get good results. Two things that have gotten easier to access recently. However, it isn't always a requirement to have such a complex system. Even Eliza, a chatbot was made back in 1966 has suprising similar to the responses of some therapy chatbots today without using any machine learning. You should try it and see for yourself, I've seen people fooled by it and the code is really simple. Also people think things like Kalman filters are "smart" but it's just straightforward math so I guess the conclusion is people have biased opinions.

Generally, very short term memory span so have longer conversations as in more messages. Inability to recognize concepts/nonsense. Hardcoded safeguards. Extremely consistent (typically correct) writing style. The use of the Oxford comma always makes me suspicious ;)

I use soap bar bags... I can't figure out if that qualifies as barehanded or not

Looks like it's time to get out of the loop up and running again

What I've found online is recipes for putting duxelles on burgers (or stuffing) or making mushroom burgers but what I want to do is mix the duxelles with the ground to make a patty mix instead. I'm not worried about the structural integrity (in that I know it won't be great) and I'll do them smash style in a pan. I would use eggs and I'd like to keep the whole recipe vegetarian.

I'm not sure if I should do the duxelles with red wine or without. Or if I should add cheese (I usually add feta to the mix but feta and duxelles seems odd)? Do I have to worry about the water content?

Considering the officer has a crack habit, I think that money's long gone by now
