I do think they have a point: there’s not many other engines I can think of that are quite as ‘tangible’ as theirs. Every object has its physical place in the world and can be picked up, manipulated,… in a way that’s unlike other engines where the world just feels more static.

I dab too, there are dozens of us!

That honestly seems pretty low for friend.com

Although the fact they’re developing hardware on less than a million dollar budget is bananas, let alone the other whack ideas

Yeah, in fact I think that’s a majority of those cases. Vocal minority of reactionaries and/or fans disappointed that their expectations weren’t met despite the product on its own being good

I mean, he had been abusive for years, it was sadly not a unique nor surprising case, except for his fame, but fame doesn’t make you a good person.

They work on light scratches, but anything too deep will damage the data layer. However, you can do a lot with cloth and toothpaste

Those were legit, though, you can resurface optical media to allow it to be read again

Well, we have 6 governments, does that count?

It refers to the annexes you see growing out of the back of the house. People used to (and sometimes still do) start with a modest house, and then as time went on and money came in, build out into the yard, adding a new kitchen, toilet, shed, veranda, etc.

It has since also come to refer to things that get extended and patched up over time without a lot of coherence or forethought, like our tax codes (they just add rules, bonuses, penalties, etc. on top of the baseline instead of doing a thorough tax reform)

This is Belgium, it’s a great example of what we call “koterijen”

I remember seeing a hypothesis that ADHD would have been beneficial in Hunter-gathering, as you would more quickly move from plant to plant rather than fully depleting a resource. It was just one study where they had a sort of game/simulation to test it though, so very early days on that theory.

The meme may be true, but it is less meaningful than you might assume at first glance. The obvious comparison is those memes comparing wages or dollar values with house prices, where obviously inflation has made a huge difference in 100 years. However, you should compare it to other types of investment, so does a stock index grow as fast as home prices or not?

Also, all those tube sites are littered with ads.

This is like the r/edc guys whipping out their knives at every opportunity or r/guns hoping some day they can justify shooting someone

I guess the question is whether or not the exposed sides are integral to sushi or not, and I think they are. It’s like the ‘how many holes does a straw have’ all over again Edit: nevermind they said slice. So yes, definitely sushi. Although the jury is still out on a full stuffed crust pizza, or a jelly filled donut for that matter.

It’s not worth it, and while the transphobia is absent, the antisemitism is still there

So a Big Mac is cake?

Unpopular opinion because it’s so recent, but I think Starfield is/will be in this category

I’m gonna read that as ‘disemballed’, which just means they lose all their golf ballls

The problem with the Turing test and current AI is that we didn’t teach computers to think, we taught them to talk.
