I dunno, I’ve run into AC for “All Clear,” but I think CE is usually “Clear Entry.”

Either that’s not true of AI images or it’s true of all images. There aren’t answers that simple to this. Pixels are pixels.

I would be inclined to agree with, “a hotdog on a bun is a sandwich.”
- Comment on PS5 Pro just got even more expensive as Sony admits these accessories won't work. 2 weeks ago:
They can? My PS5 has been on the included vertical stand the entire time I’ve owned it, what risk am I ignoring?
I remember with the Xbox 360 the only issue was if you switched from vertical to horizontal or vice versa while the disc was being read.

Do you have a term like “hotdog” for a sausage of questionable origin in a bun? Or is it, like, sausageofquestionableorigininabun like other German compound words? 😁
- Comment on You have 8 seconds. 2 weeks ago:
A hotdog is not a sandwich.
If you serve bacon, lettuce, and tomato on a plate, you do not call that a sandwich.
But if you serve a hotdog without a bun, you still call it a hotdog.
QED.
- Comment on M4 Mac Mini Power Button Has New Bottom Location 2 weeks ago:
I don’t know if there is a version of Poe’s law for Apple fanboys, but your comment makes me think there should be.
Roflmao
I don’t own a Mac Mini, and never will. I’m not trying to defend Apple.
But I’ll use my work laptop as an example. I have external monitors, so I never open the damn thing except on the rare occasions I need to use the power button. This happens infrequently enough that it gives me a pretty good notion of how often people need the actual power button on a modern computer.
If the button can be reached without turning over the device or even picking it up, as it sure appears, what’s the problem? Other than that it’s an Apple device and people love to hate on Apple devices.

How often do you need to actually turn it on? Won’t it sleep? Pretty much should only need to turn it on after moving the thing. You can restart from with in the OS if you need to.

Maybe if homework can be done by statistics, then it’s not worth doing.
Lots of homework can be done by computers in many ways. That’s not the point. Teachers don’t have students write papers to edify the teacher or to bring new insights into the world, they do it to teach students how to research, combine concepts, organize their thoughts, weed out misinformation, and generate new ideas from other concepts.
These are lessons worth learning regardless of whether ChatGPT can write a paper.

lol I feel like I’m living in a different planet.
😂 Are you just now learning that people experience different things in life?
I don’t use a shoehorn, and I’ve finally embraced the Skechers Slip-Ins lifestyle and loving it, but shoehorns would definitely have made my life easier in some respects.

My parents owned that album when I was growing up. To me it isn’t the Christmas season until I hear the first track, “Hark! the Herald Trumpets Sing” while putting up decorations.
- Comment on DING DONG 3 weeks ago:
Yeah but we love it. We get to pretend we’re playing bass guitar. It also means the rare times we get to actually sing melodies are that much more meaningful.
- Comment on My parents never did any extravagant trips like to Disney world or Sea world. Knowing what I know now I'm kinda grateful for that. 3 weeks ago:
Oh I’ve not been on the Starcruiser. It was like, $6k for two nights. Screw that.
I’ve been to Disney World though. The Star Wars area (in Hollywood Studios) is really cool. And Animal Kingdom is fantastic. The whole place is fun, but not everyone’s cup of tea certainly.
It’s way better than Disneyland, IMO. Which is underwhelming in comparison. Although the Star Wars areas are essentially identical, which is nice.

Well, “Starcruiser” was a massive flop. Far too expensive, underwhelming experience, terrible execution. Jenny Nicholson has a surprisingly compelling four hour review of it that covers part of why it flopped. Worth a watch.
Also, the extendable lightsaber is pretty fragile. Only really able to be used for the extending and maybe a bit of swinging it around. Essentially it’s like two half-cylindrical measuring tapes with an end cap that extend together, with an LED strip inside. You can’t hit another blade with it. So when they had lightsaber fights the actors had to quickly swap from the extendable lightsaber to the fighting lightsaber out of view, like crouching to run and swapping behind a railing or something.

The extending lightsabers were for the star cruiser thing, and they don’t do that anymore. But maybe they’ve moved them into the park proper.
But yeah, Disney World is a pretty amazing experience.

I loaded a deck joist into my Scion tC when I realized one of mine was rotten (while replacing the boards). I put it through the sunroof into the “trunk” (it’s a hatchback) and drove home like a majestic blue unicorn. It was beautiful.
Got home and my neighbor said, “You could’ve asked!” while gesturing to his pickup truck.
I said, “I wanted to see if it would work!”
