Um, this thread. This thread was a ride. Not whatever the thread, um, was about. Damn.

And this is the high quality and thoughtful Internet comment I’m going to end my night with. Thank you Internet stranger. There is good in the world, after all.

Happy, even.

Just left the same comment. It was surreal for the few moments you were on the bridge.
The other thing I remember vividly is the poor guy who ran up to one of the actors who was in full Klingon costume. The guy belted out some phrase in Klingon you know he had been rehearsing for weeks and stood there, proud and expectant. The actor glared down at him and in forceful English said, “I do not speak that dialect, human.”
I’ve never seen someone’s dreams be shattered so visibly and thoroughly in so short a time.

I had the opportunity many years ago visit the Star Trek TNG experience in Vegas. There was a point where they rush you through the bridge of NCC-1701D. I had that same feeling in that moment.
Which was the point of the experience, of course, and I know if I had stayed for more than a quick walk across the deck the sensation would have fallen apart. But in that moment I was in the place I had seen so many times before. It felt familiar and registered as the same.

This one image justifies all the research and investment in AI. Well done, OP. I didn’t think it possible.
- Comment on If you bought a 3D printer for personal use, was it worth it? 3 months ago:
Yes, in the same way a kayak, PS5, or e-reader are worth it. I learned so much and had a great time learning to use it with my kids. We occasionally made useful items, but never turned a profit or saved a life.
Still totally worth it.
Though, to be fair, we bought a basic Anet machine on Ali followed by a second hand knock-off so it wasn’t the thousands you can spend today.

You will address Henry by his rightful title of Emperor. Surely, he hath earned it righteously, not pulled it from the ether at the behest of a website.

Probably its own kind of red flag.

Two biggest worries as a homeowner: water where it shouldn’t be and no water where it should be.

See: Rufus, Amazon’s chatbot. I’ve never seen a more useless application of electrons. If it isn’t already in the description then it can’t help you.
If it is already in the description I don’t need your shitty chatbot, Jeffrey.

My guess is you’re one of the 10% or so who didn’t give up in frustration. My % assumption might be off, but assuming any percentage of people gave up and walked away without costing Amazon a dime the system was working perfectly.

“while you still can”
That is ominous. Creating my own instance has been a “someday” project for me. Is there something to be worried about?
