Freezer cookies are like cookies on demand. So I’m going to do this over a double boiler, which is my preferred method for melting chocolate. The idea is that basically, you have a lower piece that has a little bit of simmering water in it. You should have plenty of coating to get through all three logs, plus probably a little bit left over. Once you have those formed cookies, that’s actually the perfect time to freeze them solid.

☆ How Trump's mass deportation plan can use AI to extend immigration crackdown
▼ + stars: | 2024-12-01 | by ( Kevin Williams | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +9 min

An AI immigration dragnet vs. AI deregulation and growthRemaya Campbell, acting commissioner for Homeland Security for the District of Columbia, said that AI could automate immigration-related decision-making, bypassing traditional processes. "And in the Trump administration, that could certainly mean reinforcing intersectional biases to align with political priorities," she said. "Expectations are that a Trump administration would push for even more AI surveillance, potentially introducing autonomous patrols and expanding biometric screening," Sahota said. While this could improve border security, it could also spark concerns around privacy, particularly for those living near borders. She thinks AI will blossom and be deregulated in a Trump administration.

But over the past three years, the Chicago-based artist and architect Amanda Williams has been reviving Carver’s blue with the help of researchers and scientists. “So there was a practicality to it, but there was also ingenuity in figuring out that things around you can yield unexpected results.”An arts building at Xavier University painted in Carver blue.
