Literally everyone, apparently. It doesn’t help compact and sedan options are getting slimmer every year too. I hate it.

I had a first edition bible signed by everyone except Paul, that asshole. Flipped it for a cool $50 in a garage sale though.

YMMV but this being NY, speaking from experience they have an army of meter maids ready to ruin someone’s day lol

Bleh, call the police non emergency line and get it towed. Insanity.

I really relate with that shower one, like they painted my spirit animal

I think the ownership class is thinking of revising “let them eat cake” into “let them eat dirt. We have no need for them.”

In the budding K-Economy, that seems to be the case. The objectively wealthy now make up something like 60% of consumer spending. It seems to be reaching the point that the majority of people can’t make enough money to even be considered vital to the economy.

He’s referring to skilled trades like electrical, plumbing, carpentry etc. People they need to build out the data centers.

3rd, 5th, 8th, 10th, 14th, likely the 22nd…

This should definitely make it into a history book, if we still have them.

Greedy little boot licking pig boy

Not that I disagree a stable studio has it benefits for all the reasons you listed, but even in the best of times most AAA is still not a normal 9-5 environment. Your expected to crunch just for your team to be laid off immediately after releasing something. Those studios were shedding labor like snake skin even before these bigger cuts. AAA has also been creatively bankrupt for literal decades at this point, executive boards churning out the same game year after year, with lootboxes and micro transactions being their greatest innovations in recent memory.

I can agree we need stable studios, with leaders who prioritize their employees, creativity and passion - but come on, glazing these corpos as shepherds of some golden age of gaming is absurd. Innovation WILL continue without them.

That location has the awesome blossom, making it the only chilis in the world worth considering visiting.

Abusing? Nahh, my homelab is powered by an AMD A6-5400K that I rescued a decade ago, you’re in good company.

I switched to Qobuz, their playlist migration process from spotify was seamless. However, i’m finding the recommendations and discovery lacking, and there’s not any kind of “radio”. On spotify I would just hit play and let it do its thing with Qobuz I have to be much more deliberate in finding music, when an album or playlist ends it just stops playing and it’s back to searching around for what I want to listen to next.

With all that said it’s still a solid option, their catalog is pretty large, they seem to have a lot more genre diversity, anything lossless sounds great, and their editor curated playlists have introduced me to some good music. It’s worth doing a trial run to see if it’s right for you.

We’ll have to agree to disagree. To go through your points, spell check I don’t find particularly impressive. That was solved previously without requiring the power demands of a small town. Grammer, maybe - but in my experience my “LLM powered” keyboard’s suggestions are still worse than old T9 input.

I’ve had no luck troubleshooting anything with AI. It’s often trained on old data, tries to instruct you to change settings that don’t exist, or dreams up controls that might appear on “similar” hardware. Sure you can perhaps infer a solution, maybe, but it’s rarely correct at first response. It’ll happily run you through steps that are inconsequential to fixing a problem.

Finally, it might be better than indexed search NOW - but mostly because LLMs wrecked that too. I used to be able to use a couple search operators and get directly to the information I needed - now search is reduced to shifting through slop SEO sites.

And it does all this half assing while using enough power to justify dedicated nuclear reactors. I cant help but feel we’ve regressed on so many fronts.

Hell I’d almost settle for just “making it work”. No disclaimers, no bullshitting. Computers should be optimized and accurate. AI is neither.

Most city schools don’t have room for a baseball field, but everyone’s got a basketball hoop. And idiots love to rally around baseball as the red blooded american sport, never mind that half the MLB is latino.

Antifa has blatantly and ILLEGALLY utilized hydrogen molecules in a crystalline structure, we’re looking at it very closely.

HP is BUSINESS, while Apple is CREATIVE. The greatest of political divides. /s

This picture is at least 15 years old, I remember it making the rounds during uhh, I want to say Obama’s first term.

Beautiful baby! I’m sorry for your loss
