Kanye is a terrible person and the lyrics are typical drivel… but god damn do I love the Daft Punk remix in “Stronger”. It distills the pure glitchtard joy of what daft punk did.

You telling me you never did absolutely stupid things in sim games?

Serious answer, piefedians, fedians or piens for short.

Fun answer: pie-ons (peons), or of you want to separate the lurkers from the contributors, you have pie-eaters and pie-mongers

In AZ and likely Texas, they could be powered by clean energy. They’re not, but they could. AZ can produce an insane amount of solar, and sun farms are continuing to grow. Texas can produce a hell of a lot of wind power if they could quit arguing against themselves. AZ also has some hydro from Hoover, and a nuclear plant.

There’s just a hell of a lot more effective steps we could be doing before trying to get to these capture systems. And even if the capture works and completely offsets the carbon used to build the systems and the power used to run them and 100x more, it’ll just be used as further excuse to continue to do nothing.

How can it slow down? To get investment, every company has to at least claim to use AI. My company measures and ranks people based on their use of Gemini. It hasn’t made it into our performance reviews yet, but there is shaming for not using it. “Come on, we’re paying for it, make use of it”. I haven’t even figured out how to make good use of it in my normal routine. Which is legitimately 75% meetings. Maybe I need to send bots to meetings.

I was playing punch out on the switch the other day and 100% this. That game was all about proper timing and reaction speed. All the little latencies add up to it being nearly impossible. I never beat the game as a kid, but I could get to the last fighter, Tyson in my version, Mr Dream? In the non Tyson version? Anyway, can’t even beat the Russian dude that laugh taunts me on the switch. I know what to hit, and when to hit it, but HDMI lag, upscaling lag, blue tooth controller lag, all add up to it being nearly impossible to react.

I wish I’d never sold mine. It would still be running today if I had kept it.

Telo is also struggling to get to market and will be a much better choice than Slate if they make it. They’re not nearly as well funded though.

Sales figures don’t support it. There is some demand, but not enough to redesign the platform to support 2-door. That’s a consequence of unibody design, 2 door is a completely different engineering from 4 door.

2 door trucks are barely available for consumers these days, you practically have to get them off the fleet lots.

Small electric trucks are coming. Slate is marketing like crazy to drive up demand. Telo is struggling to get to market. CAFE killed small gas trucks. That’s probably OK, electric is more suited for small trucks anyway, just need truck people to understand how much better electric is on small platforms vs 4cyl.

1. Let people enjoy things
2. factor labor into your cost of goods sold

All these state governors are just so happy to sit in daddy trumps cuck chair. It would be hilarious if it weren’t also terrifying.

When I was delivering for Gopuff I had someone tip me $10 for delivering a pack of floss to them at midnight. I think time of day figures into this a lot too, since there aren’t many 24 hour stores anymore.

I wonder if they mean the other types of rounds like bean bags, or maybe tear gas?

No addons that I know of, but they do an annoying thing where they change which specific version/release/album of a song is available, so your playlists end up missing songs even though the song itself is still available and you have to correct the playlist.

Amazon’s Prime Music? Most people have prime anyway, I think that comes with the ad version. Less than Spotify to switch to add free.

If you still have access to any .edu email addresses, you can get student rates for Apple Music, and probably others.

The TV one is real. Without the remote the TV has one button. Hitting it turns it on if it’s off. When it’s on, hitting it brings up a menu, tap to what you want then hold it down to select it. Even turning it off is super annoying, but trying to do anything else is damn near impossible.

Are you only considering buying new? A ‘23 Chevy Bolt from carvana is about $16k

Is this not the Chevy Bolt? Sure productions been on hiatus, but a late model used one is a pretty good price.

An “and” before the last item tells you it’s an inclusive list. An “or” before the last item tells you it’s a pick one. A “nor” tells you it wasn’t any of those. It’s word to wait to the last item to know what the list was, but English is a screwed up language.

The US is fucked in the work contract part. Very few jobs can expect notice before being let go for layoffs. We can be fired for made up reasons. Sure I can show a history of income, but there’s very little guarantee of future income.

The previous generation(s) gave up on labor power and we’re stuck with what we have now.
