Anatomy of a Fall

Do you know the show L'Art Du Crime ?

I do not! Though I should probably give it a try... From what I've gathered it's a sort of French White Collar. And my mom said it was rather good.

So, should I?

anyway the actual point of fandom is to inspire each other. reading each other's fics and admiring each other's art and saying wow i love this and i feel something and i want to invoke this in other people, i want to write a sentence that feels like a meteor shower, i want to paint a kiss with such tenderness it makes you ache, i want to create something that someone else somewhere will see it and think oh, i need to do that too, right now. i am embracing being a corny cunt on main to say inspiring each other is one of the things humanity is best at and one of the things fandom is built for and i think that's beautiful

So we all know that Tumblr is US-centric. But to what degree? (and can we skew the results of this poll by posting it at a time where they should be asleep?)

Reblog to increase sample size!

Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1

The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.

So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.

So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.

Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.

And the probe is working again.

From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.

What's your favourite recipe for gluten free chocolate cake? Do you take an toppings like fruits or fillings like jam? Or douce/ infuse it in juice or wine ? :D

Got any favourite biscuits/ cookies ?

So, it's basically whatever is your favorite cake recipe, but with a mix of rice flour and chestnut flour (usually 50/50) to replace regular flour - and lactose-free milk too ahaha, cause why having a single problem when you can have two? (I don't have a specific recipe off hand, it's my mom's recipe LOL)

Most of the time, I don't add anything. Chocolate cake is chocolate cake. But if it's the season, I might add some raspberries. And failing that, I might add raspberry coulis.

Raspberry and dark chocolate are my two favorite flavors in the world. So, can't go wrong with that combo ;-)

I find that chestnut flour works pretty well for cakes and tarts. Not so much for savory things. Rice flour is pretty neutral, so it works well too, for about everything. Except no flour can make decent puff dough (the kind necessary for French pastries), so gotta forget that...

The brand Céliane makes pretty decent cookies and madeleines. Their chocolate ones and the lemon ones are my favorite.
