I know!!
I really wish it wouldn’t benefit Lex Luthor. If it makes waves, hopefully other similar types of cars will come along by the time my civic needs to be replaced.

I thought it was further along that a pipe dream with the demos and videos I’ve seen. I think I’m cautiously optimistic until it officially comes out and I see reviews.
It has the modularity I like. We’ll have to see if it can deliver.

Sounds a bit like the Slate truck to me.
- Comment on Hertz, showing the difference between science and engineering 1 week ago:
There’s a good NPR podcast in the same vein as this: www.npr.org/…/episode-779-shrimp-fight-club
It’s about congressman talking about government waste and targeting the sciences. It’s like, you don’t get the “cool” applications without the “weird” research. I’m doing a horrible job describing it, but I thought it was a good listen.

- Comment on Asus and Lenovo’s handhelds get price hike as Valve pauses some Steam Deck sales 2 weeks ago:
I really want to root for Nintendo but they make it hard.
Opening up my steam library from a console was such a big WTF moment and then being able to suspend games was so mind-blowing.
It’s still not that beefy for triple-A but I’m considering getting GeForce Now running on it.
- Comment on Pull to enter, you say? 2 weeks ago:
Many years ago, before we automated our deployment, we got our devs to do it manually. The guy that wrote the instructions in bold red letters at the top, put something like “log in as X” and no one would follow. He asked me what to do, I said, “put it as step 1 instead of bold letters at the top”. Never had anyone mess up afterwards. Thank God we automated it though.
Our brains work in weird ways.
- Comment on Time sure flies. I remember pausing my N64 to watch the news coverage. 3 weeks ago:
I remember a story where he put millions into a mansion over several years and when it was done he wanted to change it.
I’m sure he’s made bank over the years but also sure he’s blown a lot of it.

I’m almost sure it is. I have the Retro Flip 2 and now I got the SNES colours too.
- Comment on do you think freewill truly exists? 3 weeks ago:
I think the analogy is a bit crude but quite bang on.
I think it’s a good skill too and I have been clinically diagnosed with anxiety.

Maybe he looked at her eyes while she was walking towards him and as he was being slowly entombed in stone, he decided to use his last bit of life to check out dat azz.
- Comment on Techno feudalism, here we come 4 weeks ago:
You guys are thinking this from a selfish perspective. You have to look at it from your employer. If they don’t do it. Other company’s will. Then they’ll feel left out. Have you been to a yacht party where you’re the only one that hasn’t fired your employees? Goddamned miserable. /s
- Comment on I'm genuinely sad about the Marathon situation 4 weeks ago:
I dunno, I heard about the history of Bungie and what Pete Parsons did to the company. There should be no surprise. He destroyed it and Marathon is just another indicator it seems.
I feel bad for the artist and hope they get more than just “exposure” after this.

I had to move back to those a few times instead of using WSL during the early days. There were quite a few growing pains.
Fixed it fully by installing Linux.

- Comment on Gig Companies Violate Workers’ Rights: Amazon Flex, DoorDash, Favor, Instacart, Lyft, Shipt, and Uber claim to offer workers flexibility but end up paying them less than state or local minimum wages. 1 month ago:
Whenever these things come up you always hear “then the company won’t survive!”
CEO and managers make bank somehow but it doesn’t matter that the workers can’t live on that wage. It’s always so weird how when workers actually take a pay cut, that the businesses get used to it. When the CEOs get bonuses they have to get used to that too.

online human friends still can’t compete with seeing them in person … wtf a chatbot gonna do to fix this?
Not saying we shouldn’t talk to friends online and stuff it’s just that real humans are having difficulties filling these gaps.
Also, why the fuck would I want a friend like that’ll snitch me out and be used to sell me shit? I swear, he wants us hooked on these things and be like, “Subscribe now or your friends will be shut off forever!”

Same, it counts my steps and it measures my runs/swims. It’s a Garmin. I don’t really have it configured for notifications or anything else.
