I wonder why “Play” is written in English but “Store” is katakana.

Mine and my roommate’s Hyundais were stolen. His was stolen by a child. We know this because the high schooler that stole my roommate’s car kept parking it randomly around the neighborhood because he obviously couldn’t bring it home to his parents and parked the car directly in front of our house (he stole it from a train stop so didn’t know). We caught the kid when he came back for it. The kid was 16.

Mine was stolen and then used in 3+ more hijackings involving a gun according to the FBI agent assigned to my case.

Still never buying a Hyundai or Kia ever again.

The only difference is I bet Bill Gates will taste better. Elon is obviously too stressed out and that ruins the meat.

That was the one and only prompt I gave it in that chat. New bard sucks as bad as old bard.

After it was supposedly updated to support helping with code, I asked bard about how to access password protected zips in Go and it made up libraries and gave me a very simple non-functioning example. When asked to describe Octopath Traveler 2, it invented a new main character and setting that isn’t in the game or its predecessor or the mobile game. I don’t have a lot of faith that Gemini will be better.

I’ve never experienced a keyboard that is OS specific. Some of the RGB bits may not work on Mac or Linux, or may work but not be very configurable, but the basic typing functions still work.

My mom mockingly said once “do you want your doctor visits to be just like the DMV?”

Nope, I want my doctor visits to be more like the USPS. Compare their numbers to UPS or any of the others and it’s night and day.

The TSA

This was a hit job and news outlets are trying to pretend it’s an accident.

Accountability.

Wait, Robinhood survived their GameStop bullshit?

Most of them

Good thing in Colorado my ballot is sent directly to my mailbox and I can send it out directly from my mailbox. This is done for every citizen no questions asked by default.

There’s been 3 or 4 mass exoduses of advertisers from X. There have been multiple shit-hitting-the-fan moments that Walmart shrugged off.

This is just petty

My rule of thumb: if they would refill my drink then this is a tipping place. Non-food places are judged case by case. The rest are laughed at and I do my best not to come back.

It’s no extortion, it’s not blackmail, it’s abandonment. What took these companies so long? I’ll never understand how calling out the rescue diver for going to Thailand wasn’t the end of Elon.

I’ve been cooking up an idea for a smaller style MMO with as few NPCs as possible. It’d take a large skill tree in which you can’t possibly put points into everything so people have to specialize and work together. NPCs might fill in jobs while a player is offline like taking sales at the store or unattended crafting but all quests and rewards come from other players. Something unavoidable is that I think there has to be an end or else people either 1) can branch out and become so skilled they don’t need other people or 2) stagnate. So after X real world days, an apocalypse happens. Plague, dragon attack, aliens, zombies, blight, pirates, whatever. If you win, you can rebuild and get a benefit before your next go around. If you lose, you migrate to a new place (generate a new map) and try again.
