Agreed but it’s a common feature in a lot of cars and I’m assuming mandated in the state of California.

Gambling addiction is about the high like any other addiction. It comes down to brain chemistry, and personality. There’s the high from anticipation, and a second from the payoff just like every addiction. Gambling is just easier than most because it’s money, something we all have to use. Like food addiction, it’s something we all need to consume.

Or open toed shoes.

Well as it turns out, when Padme Amidala dies she is actually resurrected a long, long time after her death, in a galaxy far, far away. On a planet named Earth, it’s just their word for dirt, in a city called Jerusalem as a actor named Natalie Portman. Who will try to walk the line between Israeli citizen and international celebrity actor. Unfortunately for her when Hammas attacks Israel and Israel commits a genocide in response Natalie Portman doesn’t join the anti-genocide side. Padme Amidala isn’t a Zionist because I don’t think Earth has humans when Padme is alive.

She’s not wrong.

My advice as someone who’s server is so large backups aren’t feasible at my price point. Ensure that things you care a lot about, photos, family videos, tax information, things that can’t be replaced have a proper 3-2-1 backup solution and test it periodically. Nothing worse that putting all that effort into a backup then not being able to recover.

I do not recommend backing up media, like movies, TV shows, audiobooks, and music. Use a 2-1. Have two copies of the data with one offline. I have over 20Tb of high-res media and it would cost more than it’s worth to me to backup that stuff. So I don’t. I can just redownload The Lord of the Rings, I can’t redownload the video my parents took of me in a childhood school play.

I’d argue No Man’s Sky is a great game now. You’re right, the distaste didn’t come from no where. If anyone is on the fence about the game I’d recommend that you give it a try. If you’re still unsure buy it during a sale, it’s usually on for pretty cheap.

Have you heard of a federal reserve? Yes your bank doesn’t have your money, but someone does. Your money someone else has is insured by the federal reserve so bank runs don’t happen. You’re talking about an economy that existed 100 years ago.

I agree with your take on all of them except Anycubic, if you can get them for cheap. By that I don’t mean the forever sale on their website. I started with a used anycubic that I got for less than $100.00 USD. While it does suck it let me see if I actually wanted to spend more money on this hobby or not. I’m already looking into getting a Prusa someday but for now it’s enough. So there is a spot for Anycubic, it’s entry level for printing curious.

No you don’t understand he’s not a victim of the weaponization of the government. He’s a terrorist and an enemy of the government. It’s justified because he’s not on my side. /s

Sure blame the victim. Anyone who uses their services is just asking for it right?

Yeah it was, you’re correct. I was just jumping to the end of the argument cause I’ve seen it a thousand times and it’s just Tankie’s trying to be acceleratationists.

Yes.

The problem isn’t that AI is dogshit. In fact there are many things that have been revolutionized because of AI. Our understanding of biology has catapulted forward decades because of new models.

The problem is marketing. Those few use cases, while truely amazing, are only useful for a few things. The marketing of AI is horrible, throwing it into every product whether it makes sense or not. Throwing more money at it when it doesn’t make sense in the vain hopes that will eventually make it profitable. Then manipulating the market so that alternatives to your bad product aren’t feasible.

These silicon valley narcissists need AI to be profitable more than AI can become profitable.

I’ll say it cause someone is going to, might as well keep this discussion going. So your admitting that you want to see the Palestinian people be exterminated? Kamala chose Israel over US, that’s why Trump won. A vote for Kamala is a vote for genocide.

Now we have come full circle. Seriously this conversation about Kamala is fruitless. Everyone just let it go. It’s the past and we can’t change it.

Don’t worry, there’s still so much money to be made from being a partner with the US that once Trump has run his course politicians from all across the globe will talk about how we can’t focus on the past. No one will be held accountable.

You’d get that impression, but the LAPD in California and the NYPD in New York City (Both blue cities) are renowned for their use of excessive force and misconduct. Which is enabled by a judiciary which doesn’t punish it and Unions which insulate their members from any consequences. While there may be more sympathetic judges in democratic leaning cities they’re few and far between. The best anyone who suffers an injustice at the hands of any justice department is to be fortunate enough to go before one of those sympathetic judges who will at least do an honest job and may side with you.

Agreed. Without the shift timer the game is almost peaceful.

Same boat brother! Honestly I haven’t found anything yet that my AM4 doesn’t crush. Sure someday I’ll replace it. Someday.

I don’t know, going from an almost irreplaceable social planning tool to a classified ads host is pretty remarkable. Like in the 2010s my Facebook was my social calendar. Now I can’t even be bothered to recover my account to get onto the market place to buy used crap.
