  My grandpa was a truck driver. He told me he hated bobtailing (driving with no trailer) because he didn’t get paid for it.

  No, I don’t think not being able to make change or not stopping touching a screen no matter how many times you are told that it isn’t a touch screen is cultural momentum. I genuinely think that we the older generations have failed Gen Z at a common sense and problem solving level and I very much hope that we don’t keep failing Gen Alpha. I was in school still when no child left behind went into effect and the difference was stark. It was said then that it was designed to create a generation of Republican voters and based on the most recent election it looks like it might have worked.

  Working at a university I have seen some astounding shit; people just barely 10 years younger than me who can’t read analog clocks or make change let alone use a mouse or move a file to a flash drive.

  That’s step two.

  Start with Plex and learn from there.

  Technically most coke is “sugar free” in the strictest sense of table sugar versus corn syrup.

  Seems like they need to make a wastebasket that fits the paper sacks?

  I mean… if you are always high then that isn’t wrong is it?

  What if you could math the monkeys?

  What kind of Mandela effect shit is this?

  I’ve spent more time than I would like to admit trying to fact check this. I swear when the special editions came out one of the behind the scenes was about restoring the scene with the fur coat Jabba that had appeared in the first pre-title-crawl version. Now all I can find are references to it being rereleased at least 4 times before the special edition but nothing about scene edits.

  It’s about having options.

  I haven’t heard that in a long time, most people just say iHole now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Switch 2 Launches on June 5th Worldwide; 1080p Screen With 120 FPS and HDR Support, Docked Mode 4K Resolution Support Confirmed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I would have bet real money if you had asked me yesterday that it would have been limited to 1080p to reduce cost. I am very curious to know more about how it actually performs in each setting, how much of it is upscaling, etc. I imagine that most 4k games won’t have much in the way of better graphics than the Switch 1, the higher memory bandwidth could help with higher res textures though.

  Depending on the severity and type of the burn, and the amount of time that has passed (ideally none), actually yes you would.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unstable⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Cold is water is the opposite of what you want to put on a burn. Blisters are a reaction to the rapid change in temperature not the heat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI will replace us all... trust me⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  These things can’t think and they don’t reason no matter what they call the model. Toddlers can do both of those things.

  Until we have another breakthrough at the level of neural networks AI will only be as good as the sum total of the training data and therefore only as good (or bad) as humans can be, never better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI will replace us all... trust me⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t understand it. It’s like people don’t just want AI to be the next big thing, they NEED it to be the next big thing. Suggesting that current AI is about as useful as NFTs is personally insulting for some reason.

  The best chance for a campy spy series that has already tried the gritty reboot ploy???

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Current chain of command⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know… I am starting to think that’s the plan. That way they have somebody divorced from the situation waiting on the bench when shit finally hits the fan.
