And how all the pieces are neatly arranged in one direction.

the more infectious and fatal strains spread to and killed off every susceptible human at a rate that could not support its propagation to new healthy humans

Plague Inc. has taught me how to be more effective and prevent this from happening.

This is what’s frustrating in that car designers don’t understand most people don’t necessarily hate big screens, it’s putting essential controls in those screens. I’m a fan of big touchscreens myself but I want them to be strictly for infotainment purposes only. Any essential component should still be knobs, dials, and switches.

Right now, no. But I plan on upgrading to a bigger screen, so the current living room tv might be delegated to the bedroom, if I don’t end up selling it.

I think it was a deliberate choice so the first thing that comes to mind isn’t cable tv companies. Also, data does move via current.

I like that depiction they used of artistic tools attached to a gear.

Unlimited free home maintenance. Cleaning, laundry, repairs, yard work, etc.

They will have to change up the games to what kids play in the US. Then add the death twist for the game losers. The billionaires making poor people kill each other for entertainment stays the same though. Cultural dynamics with how players act will also have to change.

Yeah but what I meant was that it gets to a point that it’s already too expensive to throw money at it that it’s better to learn to do things yourself. For example, a floor tile detached in my kitchen and it pulled up the four tiles around it. Since the tilework existed before I bought the condo and it’s quite old, I instead had the entire living room and kitchen re-tiled, all for $200 (not including materials). If it was in the US for example, I probably would’ve just tried to replace just the 5 tiles by myself.

When I lived in a low CoL country, it was pretty convenient to throw money at problems like home maintenance (repairs, cleaning, etc.) instead of doing it yourself. Doing that in a high CoL country isn’t feasible long term unless you’re rich enough.

OpenAI, which is completely closed.

I don’t know why I laughed at this one in particular, the way it was worded was just funny to me.

Fucking hell, I see it now. Thanks.

Ever since someone mentioned that Ryan Gosling’s eyes aren’t the same height, I can never not notice it.

High school me with Limp Bizkit.

Nah, it’s legit a good comedy movie.

Use your hands and wash with soap. Then use toilet paper to pat dry afterwards. That’s what I do and you can’t get any cleaner than that.

Offices in the middle east, in case you’re like me and thought they were talking about stateside offices.

Richie Kotzen just says “just pretend I went backstage and came out again. This is the last song.”

My wife picked up reading Hangul pretty quickly. She says it’s easy to read and write but difficult to speak. Japanese is the opposite, easier to speak but harder to read and write.

There’s probably already an underlying mental health issue, and it’s just getting exacerbated by the LLM.
