@amin it's really nice, and it's a forgiving non-stressful recipe. Takes a while for all the baking steps, but most steps are independent and don't require a lot of attention. It's hard to mess up. And, it's impressed just about everybody I've ever served it to. It punches far above its weight in terms of impressiveness to difficulty. You can even use canned enchilada sauce if you're in a hurry, it turns out fine.

Multitasking On The Humble Z80 CPU
Multitasking is something we take for granted these days. Just about every computer we use, from our desktops to our phones, is capable of multitasking. It might sound silly to implement multitasking on lower-spec machines from many decades ago, given their limited resources, but it can be done, as [bchiha] demonstrates on a Z80-based machine.
[bchiha] has achieved pre-emptive multitasking on the TEC-1G Z80 computer, a modern reimagining of the classic Talking Electronics TEC-1 from the 1980s. The proof of concept code allows running up to eight separate tasks at once. Task switching runs on interrupts, triggered at approximately 50 Hz. When an interrupt fires, the CPU registers are transferred onto that task’s stack, and the next task’s stack is swapped to the stack pointer to allow execution of the new task to proceed. There is an overhead, of course, with [bchiha] noting that the task swapping routine itself takes about 430 clock cycles to run in between tasks.
Multitasking took some time to appear on home computers for good reason—it’s not very useful unless you have a machine with enough power to practically run multiple tasks at once. While a Z80 machine like this can do multitasking, you’d better hope each task is pretty tiny to avoid each individual task taking forever to run.
[bchiha] has made the simple multitasking code available on Github for the curious. We’ve featured multitasking work on other unconventional platforms before, too, like the Arduino Uno. Video after the break.

@amin as with all Mexican and Tex-Mex food, sprinkle on some chopped cilantro and spritz with lime juice, and serve with rice and refried beans or black beans. Avocado or guacamole never hurts the situation.
You can add spices to the sweet potatoes, if you like, but if you bake or roast the potatoes with olive oil and salt, they'll be quite rich.

@amin one of my "impress non-vegetarians" recipes is sweet potato and pecan enchiladas. Mothers Cafe in Austin (a famous, but now-closed vegetarian restaurant) served it seasonally. I never had a written down recipe, but it's just roasted/baked sweet potatoes with pecan pieces mashed in, wrapped in corn tortillas, covered in enchilada sauce and either cashew cream or some white Mexican or jack cheese (cashew cream is better here, honestly, even if you're not vegan), bake.

@joho babies that aren't fed are never diagnosed with autism. Really makes you think.

It just checks image alt text for keywords. No AI weirdness.
If it is approved it will be available at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/uglymug/. I don't plan to submit it to the Chrome extension store but anyone is welcome to copy the code and do so.
Meanwhile if you'd like to try it out before it's approved (trust me bro) you can get the extension from https://we.tl/t-VZw12WGo7q and then unzip the contents into a new folder.
Installation Instructions:
For Chrome:
Open Chrome and navigate to chrome://extensions/ Enable "Developer mode" (toggle in top right) Click "Load unpacked" Select the folder where you unzipped the files to.For Firefox:
Open Firefox and navigate to about:debugging Click "This Firefox" Click "Load Temporary Add-on" Select the manifest.json file
