Two problems: I’m a console player because I have no money for PC parts, so I’m priced out already. But also, if I did have a good computer, I’d have to convince my friends to all pick up PCs as well, and I think they’d sooner quit gaming altogether than switch to mouse + keyboard

Unfortunately piracy doesn’t help the people who need it here. Hard to pirate on an Xbox, and Xbox players aren’t generally the type to just ditch the ecosystem where all of their game progress and friends are just to jump to a platform they have no experience or history with

Building a PC that can compete with a console costs like 4x as much as a console. A modern graphics card alone costs more than a console
Every time I ask someone to show me the mythical build that performs as well as a console does while costing less than a console, they either disengage because they realize it’s impossible, or they come back with a $600 build that performs just about as well as a last-gen console

It’s AI bullshit, but also if he actually did give every American citizen a special card that would get them unlimited access to medical care, I would be fine with that. Own the libs, do universal healthcare before they get the chance

Exactly how I felt after buying four mozzarella sticks at QuikTrip earlier. This shit cost me over a dollar per stick. They’re not even big mozz sticks, they’re like 80 calories each

I literally can’t imagine a box that makes things cold being made cooler by having a screen on it

It’s a fucking box that makes things cold. Humanity is cooked if we can’t bring ourselves to look away from a screen for all the time it takes to get a slice of cheese out of the fridge

My understanding is that they use something like polarizing filters. Both slits have the same filter, they make a diffusion pattern as the waves interfere with each other. Both slits have different filters, there’s no wave interference and you get two slits.
Calling it an “observer” is maybe the most damaging name in the sciences since some douchebag decided to call the orthoganal number line “imaginary”

Me when I engage in em-dashes, rules of three, and promotional language — it expertly sets off sensitive AI language generation detection methods, cleverly appearing to other users that I’m using a Large Language Model myself.

The other day I saw someone ask ChatGPT how long it would take to perform 1.5 million instances of a given task, if each instance took one minute. Mfs cannot even divide 1.5 million minutes by 60 to get get 25,000 hours, then by 24 to get 1,041 days. Pretty soon these people will be incapable of writing a full sentence without ChatGPT’s input

Forests cannot grow faster than trees decay forever. We gotta turn the carbon back into rocks at some point, and we gotta get working on that tech sooner rather than later
- Comment on Inspiring. Innovating. 4 weeks ago:
I want to be clear, nowhere have I said that we shouldn’t be planting trees. Having a deeper reservoir for the carbon will buy time to develop more efficient and permanent sequestration technologies. It’s just that a lot of people in these comments seem to think that we shouldn’t even pursue sequestration tech because trees exist, despite the fact that they fill different roles in the solution to anthropogenic climate change
- Comment on Inspiring. Innovating. 4 weeks ago:
The carbon in that wood is only sequestered until it rots or burns. It may be a hundred years, it may be a thousand years, but it has not been removed from the carbon cycle. Again, at best, you’re kicking the can down the road.

Wood rots and wood burns. Felling the trees and piling them up does not remove the carbon from the carbon cycle, at best it’s kicking the can down the road
