“You ought to straighten out your press, because you know what? A country can never be great with a dishonest press.”

Stop treating corporations as your fucking constituents. Delaware notwithstanding

Relevantly, in Argentina.

I’m sure Waymo’s lawyers would argue that a simple software update would make the “driver” an entirely new entity, and thus free from the fines and incarceration. You’re raising some interesting legal questions that we’d have to figure out

Out of curiosity, about when were you in grade school? I learned touch typing in the late 90s in middle school. I remember laminated construction paper taped to each keyboard so we could learn visually first, then had to flip it over and cover our hands to start developing the muscle memory for each set of keys.

I first played the original up to a critical point where failing leads to a certain character’s death. I KNEW the right response but mis-clicked and had the outcome I was trying to avoid. I put the game down for months and didn’t come back to it until after a big break-up. I played again from the start, got the good outcome for that conversation, then was an emotional wreck after beating the game. I’ve got fanart of Max on the wall right next to me because that was one of my favorite gaming experiences of all time.

Still haven’t finished Before the Storm though. I get a little sad any time Chloe talks and it’s not Ashly Burch’s voice.

If someone attempts to use lethal force against a pregnant woman who is seeking an abortion, then it would stand to reason that that person is threatening the life of the fetus and can thus be stopped by the pregnant woman or a bystander with lethal force

I think the published credits they are referring to are here on a marvel.com press release that went out today, in case anyone else was wondering what the source was.

Very interesting. I guess enough people raised hell about DeMayo getting fired for Disney to bring him back?

Here you go.

I disagree that Cena doesn’t challenge himself. If you go back and look at The Marine, then at Peacemaker Season 2, the difference is night and day. He’s done interviews about how he tried to bring his pro wrestler mentality into acting and fell flat on his face. When he came back with roles like the boyfriend in Trainwreck and the dad in Blockers, you can tell he slowed down and started having fun with it. From there, I’d argue he turned himself into a decent actor.

Portable? You and I must have had different versions. Mine was very much anchored to the wall

Edit: well, today I learned about the Sega CDX. Wild

I hear it in Dark Helmet’s voice, personally

Range anxiety is real, but I haven’t had too many issues with the time spent at a charger. My car gives me a target charge to get me to the next charger instead of expecting me to charge to full. This pairs well with the charger that only charges at max speed until the battery gets to 60% or so.

If I’m on a long enough trip to need multiple stops, I’m generally more than happy to spend the 15-20 minutes stretching my legs, going to the rest room, and picking up coffee or a snack from the store. That said, if I was taking an emergency long trip and felt like every minute counted, I would take my gas truck.

I support a call center and we’re about to implement an AI agent. We’re paying for a model that essentially can talk and has “learned how to learn”, but is otherwise dumb. It’s trained on a very small amount of information, anything we’d give to a real agent, plus the public info on our website.

The result of this should be a bot that says, “I don’t know, should I transfer you to a real person?” a lot, but should hopefully never hallucinate or teach someone how to build a bomb or something.

Dunno how others do it though

Have you and your girlfriend figured out how in the loop you each want to be in each other’s meta relationships? You should feel comfortable coming to your girlfriend and admitting you have feelings for someone you’re hanging out with regularly. For your girlfriend’s part, it’s okay for them if they lean into the compersion of it and want to hear everything about you and Emma, or (if they maybe have some jealousy they might need to work through) ask you to just keep details to yourself.

As far as Emma goes, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with saying to someone that you’re happy with your current relationship style, but also open to being more intimate if they are. Leave it at that and assume you’re still just friends until Emma suggests otherwise.

And that $30-100 steak is going to underperform against a mediocre home cook as long as the latter can take their time and prep the meat properly.

Unless someone I don’t like is buying me dinner, I’m skipping the steak every time. I do it better at home.

It’s derived from tl;dr, which is Too Long; Didn’t Read. It’s not instruction telling you to ignore it, it’s an abbreviated way of saying, “I recognize this as AI slop that I’m not going to waste my time reading.”

Those devs need to go straight to jail. Do not pass Go.

Reminds of asking for Final Fantasy Tactics for Christmas. I didn’t realize the game was almost impossible to find until the Greatest Hits reprint.

My parents misunderstood and got me the strategy guide for Final Fantasy VIII. I think I was disappointed at the time, but I still got their money’s worth out of that book.

As someone who worked IT help desk in the mid/late aughts: fuck VGA and DVI. Let them stay dead. If I had a nickel for every time I snagged one in a desk’s rat’s nest on every single USB or power cable while trying to route cables, I could build me a top of the line gaming rig with 2026 prices.
